idiot guy: i'm like the wolf i'm stalking my prey alone through the forest and being raw as fuck even if i'm in a group i'm the alpha actual wolf: i love my friends so much!!! i love to romp and kiss my bros and work together as a family <3 awooo etc etc have you seen the puppies oh my god come see

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Iirc this is the party that believes it has a monopoly on "family values." Sounds like guy straight up gleefully pulled a cheap easy trick to make the mother of his child magically disappear from his life.

Soliciting for campaign funds 365x24x7 is counterproductive. Eliminate all donations. Publicly fund all campaigns.

If Schumer wants to represent Israel, he should move there and run for office. We need a leader who’s fighting for all Americans - fighting to stop the authoritarianism of Trump and maga.

If you’d just serve the people instead of the donor class, you wouldn’t need the donor class. A million $20 donors beats one $10M donor every time.

“The EU’s highest court has ruled that same-sex marriages must be respected throughout the bloc and rebuked Poland for refusing to recognise a marriage between two of its citizens that took place in Germany.” Some welcome news today. 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈

Elect Aftyn Behn @aftynbehn.bsky.social in TN-07 on Dec2 and Repubs will cave on healthcare. Why? They will be scared shitless of losing their seats. So , to save healthcare for millions of Americans, ELECT Aftyn Behn* (*bonus: she also happens to be an awesome candidate!)

Blue states need to create a formal consortium to take up functions like food inspections and economic data reporting the Trump Regime is abandoning.

Apparently unpopular opinion: Saying the economy is doing better than many think because [macroeconomic data that aggregates experiences of millions using established measurements] and saying the economy is doing better than many think because [lies, absurdly narrow cherry-picking] are not the same.

I would decline to voluntarily cooperate. No way. Issue a subpoena and fight it out in court.

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

Recent developments have somehow gotten me to join the supposed "war on Christians" on the side of... Christians? Hey, so long as they keep wanting to do good (SNAP, healthcare, protest CBP/ICE) instead of harm (coercive hegemony, queerphobia, racism, sexism) for once, let's fucking go. 🤝🤝🤝🤝

can’t help but notice it’s ‘they’ when a single mother might manage to use SNAP benefits for food that actually tastes good but it’s ‘we’ when a handful of ketamine addicts wanna ruin the economy

I can't believe it took me until today to remember I can mute all mention of that storied reporter lady. Gotta stamp reminders on my bathroom mirror or something. "Don't read stupid shit. Don't even glance at it. Eat a healthy and balanced diet of worthwhile, fun, and/or erotic information."

The only way out of this is if Dems outvote the GOP next election cycle. There is ZERO possibility MAGAts plan to vote Dem. That is NOT going to happen. They ONLY vote for their own demise. It's solely on Dem voters. It's NOT on hoping MAGAts make an about face.

Quotes on the economy, last few days: * WSJ: “Life felt more doable a year and a half ago.” * CBS: “Paying for the house, the car — I just couldn’t do it anymore.” * FT: “scraping for crumbs.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/cfa6...

Imagine being responsible for a body count roughly comparable to the Rwanda genocide and yapping at a grinning meathead about using AI to generate “vulgar” put-downs at parties because you’re too dull witted to think up your own insults. Walk into the fucking sea already!

Musk's employees are in top positions throughout the agencies of the executive branch. He's not gone, DOGE is not gone.

#Vaccinessavelives Get Vaccinated. No nanobots, no lizard people. I promise. #Covid #vaccine #protectothers

the thing most frustrating to me abt liberal (& even some leftist) politics are how small the asks are/how they are the same asks people had in the 1860s! - 40 hour work week - less racial discrimination - less sexism - prison reform reformist arguments got 165 years to produce dividends. and yet.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Thousands of Starbucks workers are on strike for a living wage and better working conditions. Stand with them by boycotting Starbucks until it can strike a fair contract. sbworkersunited.org @sbworkersunited.org

Don't get it twisted: "locking in" is only one letter away from "clocking In" #straywoke #lockout

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

It’s blowing my mind that schools, universities, public services would run headlong into this. We spent 15 years documenting black boxes. This is a black box in a black hole!

The cost!

this dumb shit is what i mean when i say this is a purely aesthetic “politics.” yeah man, why can’t we have a fusion of cosmopolitan social democracy and revanchist hierarchies of wealth and privilege? tough question.

Maybe a basic civics test should be necessary to become president. I can't see that being discriminatory. A literacy or civics test for VOTING had obvious dangerous intentions AND results (bc edu access). But like... we can double check if our candidates for president can read and reason, right?

So @alexvitale.bsky.social, who wrote THE END OF POLICING (which I cite heavily in my forthcoming book THE OVERSEER CLASS), has been tapped to join Mayor-Elect Mamdani’s Transition Team to work on “community safety issues.” This is an extremely promising development.

Meta knowingly addicted young people to its platform, worsened their mental health, and refused to act.   That's why we sued Meta and passed laws in New York to protect our kids from the harms of social media.

Being vulgar isn’t the goal of roasting. EARNING CAMARADERIE IS THE POINT. You display the empathy to accurately asses others’ vulnerabilities, the craft to make fun at them without destroying underlying respect for their humanity, and you earn satisfaction of earning their esteem.

Our committee has subpoenaed the release of the entire Epstein files. No tampering, no obstructing.

Trump voting men rank having children as their highest priority in life, and rank having emotional stability dead last. Those poor children.

An important but inconvenient fact to remember about NYPD "work stoppages" and "quiet quitting." When NYPD intentionally makes fewer arrests and does less police work in protest, violent crime goes *down* 🙂🙃 Read that again. Violent crime goes *down* when cops quit. And we've known why since 1970

Every major city in the US could decrease the homicide rate by: 1) Reducing the number of cops that give tickets and low level arrests to Black folk by 100 cops. 2) Increasing the number of cops working as homicide detectives by 10 cops. 3) Giving all that money saved back to social programs. 👍🏿

If they REALLY were certain what they were doing was good for society, they'd be hanging the signs up themselves. Instead they're doing it bc they're racist, and racism is maladaptive and unexamined fear, insecurity, cowardice, and shame.

How to not be the life of any party ever. How to develop a guaranteed drug addiction. How to spend your life desperate and unwanted. How to flail about and keep yourself trapped in the quicksand of despair and villainy.

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

Some outlets are reporting that DOGE "doesn't exist" anymore. But the fine print on that overturns the whole story: DOGE is just dropping its tarnished brand, not the chainsaw. 🧵

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

Look. I'm not playing with you people. During the great depression, if you were employed and had a job, you probably were not living on the streets. In 2025, many homeless people have jobs. Depending on whose stats you use, and if you count part-time employment, between 40% and 60% have jobs.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

New Yorkers are tired of being asked to believe in a system that has delivered little for them. They want a politics that can see the scale of the crisis, and actually start to tackle it.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

Just like with COVID cases, inflation, job reports, unemployment rates, etc. MAGA knows that transparency interferes with their propaganda.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡
