This is predatory capitalism. They gave tax breaks to billionaires so that folks could get bills like this for healthcare.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

At a certain point you have to conclude that the Democrats agree with the Republicans that they are contemptible and illegitimate, and don’t deserve to govern.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Breaking: Democrats flip two Public Service Commission seats in Georgia, the first victories in 25 years.

Dick Cheney was proud to have normalized state-sponsored torture. That, and the dead of Iraq in an unjust war, constitute his entire legacy. “That’s not funny” is a meme-y cliche but I don’t care about the friend he shot or our jokes about it. Cheney is Kissinger level. He made the world worse.

Dick Cheney dying on the same day New York City is poised to elect a Muslim socialist as mayor has healed something inside me

A good omen.

Joking in your Young Republican group chat about the mass murder of 6 million people who'd been scapegoated for decades as morally degenerate ethnic/religious outsiders is just locker room talk. Speaking lightly of the murder of Charlie Kirk to your 400 friends on Facebook is a fireable offense.

We're seeing relentless attacks on freedom of speech in America today, and they reveal the ideology that's driving the Republican Party I talked to @adamserwer.bsky.social and @maryannefranks.bsky.social about that for my newsletter

Yow.

The Global Sumud Flotilla, a humanitarian mission carrying baby formula, medicine, and food to Gaza, is currently being intercepted by Israel. Thiago Avila speaks truth to power. May the members of this mission be protected. May this genocide end.

Wild stuff — nuking a portion of your website because MAGA got mad at you for it. jewishinsider.com/2025/09/adl-...

My constituent Greg Stoker and others on the Global Sumud Flotilla should be granted safe passage to deliver critical aid to those starving in Gaza. Threats from extremist Ben-Gvir to criminalize humanitarian action must be rejected. (1/2)

Anyone want to match me?

LET'S FUCKING GO

Whewwww

Good launch video overall, and the focus on the Gaza genocide is notable. I think many Dems don't understand how much of a primary issue this will be in '26 and '28.

This has been decently common for years among perpetrators of mass shootings and the fact that seemingly no one takes the time to report that this is not a particularly new phenomenon frustrates me deeply

Honest question - does Kash Patel know about court?

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

I keep asking why politicians hire strategists who can't win elections and why media outlets keep platforming opinion writers who praise Charlie Kirk while shushing Greta Thunberg. I keep arriving at the same answers. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.net/maybe-losing...

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Yes! If something as straightforwardly non-violent as, e.g. occupying a campus building to demand your university divests from a genocide is painted as "violent protest," then non-violence feels like a synonym for easily-ignored and ineffective. We shouldn't accept that framing.

"Adopting nativist discourse and policies does not win back far-right voters. It leads to losses for centrist and leftwing parties." Excellent analysis, as always, from @casmudde.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

i promise if i ever ghost you on signal it's not because i hate you it's because i'm in literally hundreds of groups and i have so, so many notifications

ATL: You can tell ATL power players are terrified of @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social because the racist smears are ramping up. Yesterday, this FULLY ANONYMOUS email landed in my inbox - alleging that Rohit, a nonprofit leader and organizer, is an "Alarming Threat to Public Safety". THREAD ⬇️ #gapol

This is fucking crazy

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

As always, Adam way out ahead on this one

The collapse of the Cop City RICO indictment will be one of the most consequential wins for abolitionist organizing this decade imo

The type of speech most punished in this society is that which consists of telling the truth about how the powerful have harmed you

Only 54% to go!

I have to say, having spent the last 72 hours triaging help to people who have been doxxed as part of a gleeful and bloodthirsty mass harassment campaign, the response to his death has really proven that his influence on society was basically exclusively negative, polarizing, and hateful!

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

if youd like to get a bit more background on how young men get radicalized online but don't want to dive into hell facefirst alone i have a book about it (it's five years old, but speaks to methods & human motivations that are still current, i think) www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/talia...

I don't think you can work effectively in studying political violence in America without a robust understanding of Gamergate and the ways that it has permanently transformed modern society

TOMORROW AM: @michaelehayden.bsky.social and I scrambled last night and this morning to make one of our biographical "Who the Hell?" episodes about Charlie Kirk. We covered both how Kirk died and how he lived -- fighting to oppress and disenfranchise people he hated. www.patreon.com/posts/036-wh...

i find the “maybe kash patel isn’t fit to lead the FBI” stuff to be very funny. yeah, no shit!
