It's a bit of a rhetorical question I obviously know what people want when they want Hamas to unilaterally disarm

Remember in 2021 when they let the Senate parliament decide not to raise the minimum wage from $7.25? I don't have a point, I just did and still can't believe how totally temporary all social welfare benefits were from the last Dem trifecta.

Maybe this is xillenial tech optimism leaking out but I gotta believe it's not sustainable long term for such a small and self-interested clique to dictate what most everyone in the country sees and hears. In the meantime, this feels like it's the worst it's ever been.

When one side withdraws from the social contract.

Oh god, it just occurred to me that we're about to enter into a POW-MIA situation where the hasbarists refuse to acknowledge that the hostages have been released and that their casus belli is totally gone.

I think a lot of these tech execs that have been feeling themselves in Trump 2.0 are in for some fierce whiplash once the reawokening gathers steam.

So many people’s liberalism ends at water’s edge. Always shocking when people who would call out such abuses in the US will give Israel a pass.

You gotta just laugh not to cry

Under Trump, Miller, and Noem's leadership, ICE is a terror force inflicting chaos and trauma on our communities, including children and seniors. They know no limits. Not even children are safe from their violence. We must defund ICE and put an end to its abuse.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

I can excuse forced birth, but I draw the line at, uh, asking our hideously unpopular leaders to stop attempting epic clap backs.

From @eschatonblog.com: "Too many participants in the system do not understand that while it would be great if I could do fraud and avoid regulation, it is a problem if that applies to everyone." www.eschatonblog.com/2025/09/maha...

Trump wants the military to use American cities as "training grounds" and Hegseth thinks rules of engagement are too strict. If these two--plus Miller and Homan--could get away with death squads, they would so do it. 1/2

For a week or so until Roberts weighs in let's bask in living in a country with some basic human rights.

[Abundance guy watches She-Hulk] this is why democrats lose

Ezra Klein Tue: "There will be no fever that breaks, no permanent victory that routs or quiets those who disagree with us." Trump Wed: cancels a second political talk show, with hundreds of libs fired. Ah, well, nevertheless. Good time to make new friends I guess!

The biggest reason I believe the groyper war hypothesis over the left-wing assassination hypothesis is that I don't actually believe most people on the left had a clear sense of Charlie Kirk as a distinct person from Ben Shapiro.

America is now a place where a prominent cable news host can openly call for homeless people to be murdered — and face zero consequences.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

It's simple. They see themselves in him. They do not see themselves in his targets.

The CEOs are all really excited about AI being people because that means they can own them again

about what the United States is. The largest exporter of violence and domination and subjugation in the world.

war, blatantly, that would not be tolerated if done by any other state on the planet. It is because the United States approves of all of it (and pays for much of it, and equips for most of it) that it is allowed to continue. Israel is a terrorist state. This reality should make you think differently

🧵In the past week Israel has bombed: Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Tunisia, Yemen, and now Qatar. In Yemen the prime minister and multiple cabinet members were assassinated. In Qatar the Hamas negotiators who were called there by the US to review a ceasefire proposal were targeted. These are acts of

the right wing view of covid is, basically: it is very bad the evil chinese manufactured this bioweapon to kill us all, but also we should've let it kill more people

like so many products to come out of silicon valley in the last decade or so, AI is a legal innovation masquerading as a tech innovation. the legal theory seems to be that AI is entitled to everything but liable for nothing.

You don’t have a right to feel safe—you have a right to BE safe, which is not the same. Fascism is obsessed with perceived danger coming from every population of vulnerable and marginalized people and its only answer is to eradicate them. If you feel unsafe when you’re not, you should be asking why.

If you won't pledge to make DC a state within the first 30 days of Democrats retaking congress and presidency, you need to be ejected from the party.

Democrats will draw from Trump the lesson that doing things is horrific. When the wheel turns and Democrats are in power, they won't roll it all back nor start doing good things unilaterally, instead saying this would be Trumpian abuse of power.

Anas Al Sharif spent 17 of his 28 years living under a brutal blockade supported by your tax $. In 2008-09 and 2014, he survived bombings paid for by your tax $. In 2023-2025 he documented a genocide funded by your tax $. He was assassinated today with your tax $.

So called “progressives” who couldn’t even compromise on a REASONABLE amount of genocide, now want to tell us we can’t exterminate trans people, (an entirely different group!) either.

The word gaslighting gets thrown around a lot these days, but I gotta say that the neo-Nazi party claiming to be so concerned about antisemitism that they have to destroy American higher education is a profoundly weird experience.

I could never get into this, the ultraviolence really bummed me out.

This state-sanctioned settler terrorism has been happening for all of our lives, it keeps getting worse, and it simply must end.

I cannot get over how no one in mainstream politics even disputes factual claims like this. Everyone admits that Israel is starving children and murdering desperate civilians. The only ‘debate’ is about what to call it and whether the motives of people protesting it are pure enough.

Now *this* is a statement

Oh wow, you say Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza aren't Israelis, they've just been enrolled in a legal category that makes them subject to the total authority of the Israeli state without any of the countervailing rights? Oh, my bad, that's totally alright then, never mind. Sorry about that.

What is the reason a lot of these Dems are starting to talk about suffering in Gaza now? Please do not assume I am fucking stupid if you reply to me thanks in advance!

Alan Cumming on bathroom bills: "Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."

There was a time when you could describe Gaza as an "open-air prison," and people would scoff at the ludicrous hyperbole, and now we're at "Gaza is an open-air death camp" and that's just ... true.

Have we ever seen Trump acting as ashamed as he has since he told Bondi to end the Epstein inquiry? Shamelessness is his superpower, e.g. openly taking $100M crypto bribes, private jets, etc, but it seems to have met some limit in his psyche.
