“The MAGA party is the last breath of the Confederacy”

This is a very interesting thread with a perspective that I as a person with (relatively) good vision would not have considered.

The good taxpayers of New York have given me a pair of Meta glasses because I am low vision disabled, and I seem to have used them more than a lot of people on here, so let me say a little about my experiences:

BREAKING: For the SEVENTH time, the Senate voted to end Trump's war of choice with Iran—and for the SEVENTH time, Senate Republicans blocked it. End the war NOW.

I've seen multiple people, who are very high-info themselves, say they didn't know he had an MD *and* a PhD *and* was a Rhodes Scholar until the hit piece came out and then they looked him up

Please retweet.

I need to look at our map but maybe they are doing some math and figuring out this may not go as planned. Gov. Reeves calls off Mississippi's special session on judicial redistricting mississippitoday.org/2026/05/13/j...

The purrposting will continue until morale improves

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

Five more months of catastrophic misgovernance still to come

we need to talk about what Louisiana Republicans are doing to Calvin Duncan, who deserves so much better than this ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I also pledged! letsbuyspiritair.com

It's been apparent to any honest observer for a while but today's Supreme Court decision makes it painfully clear that the GOP is an openly white supremacist party.

Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 We recommend all age appropriate vaccines. They are Life-Saving. They are safe. I’m responsible for 100,000s of doses. I’ve only had two significant adverse reactions in my cohort of patients for >20 years.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Trump's numbers on inflation aren't just the worst for him ever. They're the worst I've seen for any president. They're worse than Biden's worst & worse than Carter's pre-1980 election. “On the cost of living, just 9% of indies & 39% (!) of the GOP say we're on the right track.”

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

Dozens of American veterans and military family members were detained after they started protesting the Iran war inside a congressional office building in Washington D.C.

The truth is that Thune stood up & said NO to Trump who is indeed a traitor to the republic. “Senate Majority Leader John Thune is getting eaten alive by his own base after quietly shelving Donald Trump's signature voter fraud legislation — and the knives are out.”

Once you start seeing it you'll never stop seeing it: how often does a particular leftist influencer/leader do something to make you more powerful? How often do they do something to present themselves as the source of enlightenment or correct theory? Usually followed by a link to pay them.

it's so ingrained in us to blame liberal/the left/ women for the bad behaviour of the right we always frame the story as something women (& female/queer-coded entities) did that provoked a backlash from men (& male/straight-coded entities) - but often it's the complete reverse

4/20 Edition: Can I ask y’all some weird questions and y’all won’t judge me?

However low your opinion of the Roberts Court, it should be lower.

And on the basis of this -- a pure policy disagreement about which he was demonstrably, wildly wrong -- Roberts dreamed up "major questions doctrine" & thereby rendered US law one big game of Calvinball. You just can't exaggerate how low, how scummy, how dumb, how fraudulent it all was.

So the Clean Power Plan was never implemented. Now, want to hear something funny? The targets in the Clean Power Plan -- for growth in clean energy, for retirements of dirty energy -- were exceeded. Before the deadline. *Without the reg being passed.*

put him right in the blast zone

lmao

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran. These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East. And they put Trump's ego before America. Every damn time.

Good for him but I am tired of learning about all the ways a 41-year-old candidate for U.S. Senate supposedly has a lot more growing and learning to do. Maybe do that before the Senate? And maybe try out a lower office before then? Or maybe we just watch him blossom into another Sinema/Fetterman.

This is the massive turnout for last night’s “anti regime” concert in Heroes Square, Budapest, ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Hungarian elections. Tens of thousands chanted “Russians go home”. #Orban

The Lebanese Health Ministry says Israeli strikes have displaced more than one million people. That’s more than a sixth of the entire population.

BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.

They’re desperate because they know that the only way they’ll survive is to try to convince the world of the opposite of what we’re all seeing. But it’s too late. We’re never going to forget what it looks like when Palestinians hold their children in plastic bags. No one can forget that.

American Journalist Abby Martin: You see Israel buying up media outlets. You see Israeli billionaires trying to tamp down the narrative. They’re desperate.

American Journalist Abby Martin on her visit to Israel: I was so horrified and alarmed… I felt like I was walking into Berlin in 1932. I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing. There’s no hope from within Israeli society. It’s an ethnostate… built on supremacy. That’s what Zionism is.

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

Wake up, kids We got the dreamers disease. ‘Radical’ comes from a Latin word meaning "root." Because roots are the deepest part of a plant, ‘radical’ came to describe things understood as fundamental or essential. ‘Radical change’ was a change at the root of a system.

LMAOO

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

All of us are dissociated and dissociating to make it through today. I hope you give yourself and others grace.

The deleterious effects of not having a hobby are becoming a defining point in this cultural moment—and who is poised to help? That’s right: the autistics. Job fair day where we all set up tables explaining our deep dives and give people a hand out, a path back to society.

New attorney general just dropped

Paul Manafort's lawyer is now the acting Attorney General. Let that sink in.

PSA: as people start to expect Iran War price spikes, please watch for businesses that add an “energy” or “inflation” fee to their bills. These junk fees are illegal in Minnesota. Please report any to Attorney General @keithellison.bsky.social here:

I hope Wisconsin voters join me in supporting her candidacy for Wisconsin’s highest court. Election Day is April 7th — make your plan to vote now. myvote.wi.gov/en-us/

Wisconsin Supreme Court justices have a profound responsibility: protecting the rights of the people and delivering on the promise of equal justice under the law. Judge Chris Taylor is the only candidate running for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court with a proven record of delivering on that promise.
