The Moana remake only failed because they were too cowardly to adapt this for the big screen.

Whoever has the best technology for renewable energy & AI in 20 or 30 years will be a global hegemon able to dictate terms to the rest of the world. I'd rather the US be that hegemon & I *really* do not want China to be that hegemon, unless a miracle happens & Xi's successor is accountable to people

This is a dangerous road to go down—but if they are credibly threatening to go down it, we can dust off section 2 of the 14th amendment and say goodbye to 2 of Alabama’s house reps.

The subtext to this passage is that Nazi tattoos, lust for violence, and rape *are* working class aesthetics and we silly Dems shun them at our peril.

I, for one, do not agree with "destroying the federal government, but leftishly."

Donald Trump surprise attacked another country in the middle of peace negotiations, with no apparent plan for victory, resulting in no strategic gains, and triggering severe restrictions on our own fuel supply that can't easily be reversed. A staggering combination of immorality and incompetence.

IMO Larry Ellison et al would probably much rather be arguing about data centers than about whether they have to pay the fines for violating the TikTok ban

Have you ever met a woman

This is the kind of insight that could turn you into a more humble public servant or a nihilist, and I think we know which option Graham chose.

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.

Begging the people’s whose first reaction to Republicans’ evil actions is always “grr! This makes me think about how much I hate Democrats!” to reflect on why that is.

Ossoff’s message discipline is very strong

lol with even how bad SCOTUS is this is never going to fly legally and you’re going to frenzy Georgia Dems while lionizing Ossoff

Okay so there are a small handful of potential reasons why he isn't rushing to throw Katz overboard and I'm being very serious when I say the one that makes Mamdani look *best* is that he's a deeply poor judge of character and stupid as fuck.

Mamdani: "I will continue to work with Morris Katz. He remains a top adviser of mine."

It’s like if you cooked someone in a lab to do maximum damage to American interests everywhere. Can the GOP just admit he sucks yet

Perfect statement by Raskin. He's so good at this.

10 days prior to AES’s tweet about supporting Harris, there was a Biden-Harris rally in Detroit. Haley Stevens spoke at it while AES was uncommitted to the ticket that included Kamala Harris. It was the July 12th rally when Joe was calling out Project 2025 & saying Trump was a threat to the nation.

what

him and manchin cooking up the "whoa this is now an Act which Reduces Inflation??? Wtf I love it now!!!" bit was easily one of the all time top 10 legislative maneuvers of the US Congress

Oh good, the "Platner is my star for a Dem TEA Party" dude is now malding over Dems not being mean enough. To the point where he's now gloating that the Nazi tattoo rapist he supported beat Mills. Somehow missing the fact that Platner *explicitly did not win* because he was *forced to resign*.

let us begin the ritual explosively angry responses to anodyne statements of democrats about the recently deceased

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

A GOP Senator has died. No, not that one, a different one.

👀🚨🚨Oh my God!!! I had to go to the bad place & check for myself. It’s true. This is from his official Twitter account.

Tough break on that second yellow but he absolutely earned it.

And there it is. In the field of political science, the terminology used here is inconsistent with democratic or Democratic principles. Words have meanings.

"Suburbs" is an amazingly bad translation of "banlieue" which almost completely fails to capture Mbappé's point here.

Praise God lol

THE GLASS BACKBONE: WHY THE ARMY’S LOGISTICS WILL BREAK IN THE NEXT WAR Jonathan Buckland | 06.03.26

He’s just not putting the same effort into his lies that he used to

Trump, on the Michelob Ultra Superior Player of the Match award. I guess the FIFA Peace Prize just wasn’t enough for him.

From what I’ve read, it looks like Mamdani’s administration might fall apart if he fired him. His firm is apparently interwoven at every level.

The FDA—on its own initiative!—commissioned a study about whether these traces were harmful. It’s very odd to frame this process or its conclusion as an attack on women or as ignoring women’s health It is also not a surprising result that .12ppm of lead isn’t harmful. That is a very small amount!

Once again the only way out of this is a patient and committed strategy that denies Iranian-linked passage on the strait as long as it takes. Donald Trump is incapable of executing patient, committed strategies. there is no good way out of this without commitment and a steady hand.

Thoroughly reported and utterly damning of the failure of NATO members countries to accept the reality of Vladimir Putin.

So there’s a famously pugilistic poster on here (who has me blocked) who said, essentially, that character doesn’t matter when choosing to vote. Only policy. And I think that is just fundamentally backwards and, ultimately, the reason why the online left keeps falling for lying grifters. (Thread)

Casting aspersions on the sort of people who hold state/local organizing roles and committee seats as implicitly corrupt elite "party insiders" is trash slopulism. They didn't ask to be put in this position, it's no power grab. They have a job to do and have been duly democratically chosen to do it.

THE ABSOLUTE GALL

The most notable part of this statement is that it doesn’t actually promise to carry out any specific reprisal.

Great post and rebuttal to reply by @jaimeharrison.bsky.social 👇👏👇👏👇👏👇👏

These are demonstrable lies.

This is grotesquely evil.

Springfield, OH hate crime. Haitian father shot driving his kids to church. "They said he was going to give someone a ride and 'they just shot him. I don’t know why.'" Consequences of hate from our gov't. www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/crime/... @gregsargent.bsky.social @jimswift.bsky.social

Argentina really caught fire jfc

I want it stated for the record that I was opposed to Jackson solely because I heard him described yesterday as a staunch ally of Platner
