We already KNOW how to make super babies, you eugenicist creeps! And it's all the things you fucking fucks are fucking up! THREAD!

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

there is such a magic to sitting on a tiny island in the boundary waters, seeing more stars than you could have imagined were up there, hearing the loons i hope we do not rob future generations of experiencing it

State prosecutors from around the country are joining our coalition for the Fight Against Federal Overreach (FAFO) to share information and resources to hold federal agents accountable for unlawful behavior.

Every night after 10pm, Bernie the puppy barks herself awake for no reason.

Today we charged an ICE agent with two felony counts of 2nd Degree Assault for pointing a gun at two community members during operation metro surge. Hear about the charges below.

Now, you might say, "What about all the knowledge we'd lose if we push all the abusive geniuses out of academia?!" But I'd counter and say, "Well, what about the knowledge we've already lost from the budding scholars whose careers they've derailed with their abuse?"

I’m fairly sure that every single “irreplaceable genius” who’s been exposed as a sex pest personally drove at least one woman who would have outstripped them out of their field

I greatly appreciate Zeteo.com following up on the Gestapo ICE / CBP invasion here in Minnesota. They’re a bit quieter (sneakier) now but they haven’t stopped! Abolish these thug agencies and prosecute their illegal activities to the fullest. No mercy. (and thanks Zeteo)

Viktor Orbán created the global blueprint for authoritarian populism and became a MAGA hero. Today, Hungarian voters sent him packing after 16 years in power. There is nothing inevitable about these guys. Organize. Vote. Fight back. It works.

Good f**king riddance. As George Jefferson said: “don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you”!

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

To the doomers who keep saying Trump will rig the 2026 and 2028 elections: Do not concede in advance

“Sir, are you aware that you are a cat, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing right behind you?”

A very happy fuck all fascists day today and every day and thank you to Hungary for giving us all hope

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Let's feel good. This is the latest in a string of victories against fascism around the globe. I'm thinking of Koreans thwarting the autogolpe and convicting Yoon Suk Yeol, and Brazilians convicting Bolsonaro. And in the US, we are very well positioned for November midterms.

Magyar won with an emphasis on corruption and the rule of law. Good lessons. It wasn't just "we will improve the economy". It was "these people are stealing from you and we will put them in jail."

50 former staffers!

We need to give serious thought to how else to take advantage of Vance's god-tier ability to repel all humans.

From @kimlanelaw.bsky.social “lots of lessons here for the US - in particular that Magyar went to Orban strongholds for years and persuaded Orban supporters in person that their lives could be better. He knew he had the cities -- and he needed the villages to win this sort of victory.

JD Vance negotiating with a used-car salesman: "I'll give you $12,000 for this one, not a penny more." "Nope, Mr. Vance. It's $16,000." "You will take $12,500." "No. And I'd like you to leave, you're scaring the customers." "$13,000!" "You can pay me $20,000, get no car and scram." "DONE!!"

I just finished using this, which I became aware of due to @clairewillett.bsky.social. I cannot believe I am saying this about a web app in the year 2026, but: it is well designed and easy to use

Orban's inability to prevent last year's Pride protests—attended by 300k despite being banned—was a turning point in his authoritarian grip of the country. Queer people are always leading the fight against authoritarianism, as we are often its first targets. Never cower to fear.

I hate Google for making me turn off all smart features if I want Gemini to stop suggesting writing at every turn. What do you mean you won’t add calendar events unless I take your shitty email and word doc suggestions

This suddenly feels very important. Magyar has immediate and long-term reforms ready for day one, with a focus on eliminating corruption and rooting out foreign influence.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

holy shit he actually conceded folks, they tell you they’re invincible they tell you they’re inevitable they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting and absolutely none of that is true

orBán Voyage

even the most tenacious autocrats have a difficult time denying a landslide result against them

i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain

Hungarians deserve every congratulations for giving Peter Magyar a bigger margin than Orban has ever gotten in all of his rigged elections - and this within the system that Orban rigged. Magyar now has a constitutional majority to undo Orban's constitutional prison and govern as a democratic leader.

one immediate dramatic consequence of the Hungarian result: Magyar has promised to repair relations with the EU and unblock a €90bn EU loan for Ukraine

Reminder: they are never as powerful as they want you to think they are

went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap. I can’t believe it 😭

This is the culmination of SIXTEEN YEARS of dogged work by everyday Hungarians. You think that felt hopeless sometimes? I'm sure it did. 👏 Don't 👏 give 👏 up 👏

Good example of the particle-wave aspect of LLMs: These tools can allow you to do amazing things very quickly, but they are often the wrong things. Something is still missing. annaecook.com/writing/2026...

"fluid output, fine-tuned overconfidence, & interactive design of llms means that a deep understanding of processes of human interaction & sense-making will be a foundational resource for the growing arsenal of methods in critical AI literacy." @dingemansemark.bsky.social zenodo.org/records/1945...

A researcher invented a disease called “bixonimania” and wrote clearly bogus articles on Medium and arXiv about it, referencing Starfleet Academy, Sideshow Bob, and the Fellowship of the Ring. Within months, major AI apps were diagnosing users with bixonimania. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

May Day will be a nationwide day of economic disruption, as we flex our collective power to demand an end to the oligarch-enabled Trump regime. The central action will be to engage in little-to-no economic activity on May 1 — that means no work, no school, and no shopping: maydaystrong.org

the extent to which so many men are sex pests is just baffling and depressing you can just Not Do That there is shit that's hard for me! remembering to take in the trash cans is hard! checking the calendar is hard! starting a design doc is hard! not being a sex pest: not that hard
