Axios, FWIW. Nothing is ever good enough for this site anyway.

We’re open! Now, remind me how to do this? - Michael

Baby Luigi is getting real tired of your shit

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

yea the problem with poverty and food scarcity is that once people experience extended food scarcity that shit is carved in there forever. this was a major observable thing after the great leap forward and its resulting famine

every single week they're throwing this guy a special oval office love-in that appears to be the presidential equivalent of letting your dog scarf an entire big mac and fries before that last trip to the vet

White folks are going to do it again next year so dont get your hopes up chat. They already blaming Democrats for the shit Republicans are doing—-

Voters showed immense weakness by not giving them the majorities needed to act effectively. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I gotta say the evidence that Schumer is secretly controlling the cave caucus is some real thin gruel. It basically rests on the assumption of a level of Senate partisan discipline normally seen in a parliamentary democracy when it isn't just leaning on even grosser "perfidious jew" tropes.

While I don't disagree that the SNAP money is probably gone, in the end it was always about cruelty.

"Schumer didn't vote for Mamdani, source: it's obvious bro *takes hit off bong*"

"'It sends a message to elected public safety leaders across the country that partnering with ICE is a loser in any district that’s remotely a swing district,' he said." Should be a loser in any district, period, but point taken.

Then when I objected to the idea that my marriage, rights and freedoms should be sacrificed to create a "more radical queer movement," they suggested that gay people like me are the reason trans people are dying and being persecuted. Because you can't have trans rights without undoing gay rights???

I ended up blocking them, but damn. Some people are way more into feeling radical and cosplaying radicalism than they are into the actual radical project of expanding people's rights and freedoms.

Just had an argument with someone who is disappointed that Kim Davis' attempt to overturn marriage equality failed because they wanted people like me to lose our marriages in order to galvanize "a more radical queer movement." Oh, and because gay marriage is just "capitalist fascism," or something.

Bluesky, inventing morons and arguing on their behalf: oh damn, this is going to convince so many people Regular people seeing their premiums skyrocket: healthcare pls

I understand that the SNAP money might be gone but this is simply begging SCOTUS to keep Florida Grandpa happy. You wouldn't vote against this.

That young lady i just blocked wont see this, but this is my warning to anyone trying me with nonsense about the Democrats, today or any day for that matter. Some of you remember how I was on Twitter, I still don't coddle people.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars": ".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...

so today I've seen Chuck Schumer called a "Kapo" a "baby killer" and a "genocide apologist" all because of a bill he does not support and didn't vote for.... but you know... it has nothing to do with him being Jewish......

What's wild to me is that people are somehow saying that Schumer totally orchestrated everything despite Jeffries specifically *not naming Schumer as the target of his frustration*. This is significant because *Jeffries specifically blamed Schumer for folding, in public, back in March*.

People still express glee at HRC losing to the worst candidate and Harris for just being there and losing to the same guy but they never talk about the people who did vote for whatever this is and the people who saw 4 years of it and decided it wasn't worth opposing. At least Clinton/Harris fought.

Yep. And how long were we supposed to accept a shut down government? Forever? That would be in line with Project 2025 so that's a little curious (no).

Have any of the people yelling "they caved" explained how Democrats could have won on the shutdown fight yet?

Thread.

WW who do this never actually worked along side Black women leaders at local dem HQ’s. They rarely do. It’s a damn shame because THAT is how you learn politics and how shit gets done. You show up, listen, follow instructions, learn. WW don’t do this. When they show up, they think they run things.

Some of you put "listen to Black women" in your bios just as an empty slogan. If you truly did listen, we have less whining and better navigation of this current messed up landscape. Some of us have been navigating uncertainty all our lives. We won't bend, or break. But we won't coddle you either.

A problem with the new Onion is that, as with most things, the writers spend way too much time on niche social media websites

“If the papers keep saying the BBC is lying to you, that it’s biased, people start believing it.” Has the BBC’s Trump edit error been blown out of proportion because of deeper motivations, asks @maitlis.bsky.social.

Y’all decided that the Supreme Court didn’t matter in 2016. Y’all decided that your integrity mattered more than stopping white nationalists from taking complete control of the government in 2024. So what do I look like giving a chicken fried fuck about y’all hollering about Dems “caving”?

The cave in was last November. This is just sorting the rubble.

How easily the comfortable spend the lives of the vulnerable.

I've lost count of the times Chuck has agreed to take all the heat for something unpopular that still needed doing but it's been a LOT. That man is a mensch. The country couldn't just keep going with SNAP not going out, people not getting paid & the House mothballed. Had to be an off ramp made.

Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now. I get it. I have my own feelings. 🧵

For those wondering why I posted a thread about this last night, this is why. There's a LOT of people who seem to think that either a) the entire ACA is ending or b) ALL of the ACA tax credits are expiring. NEITHER IS THE CASE.

Well.

We need a Trump Pardon Recidivism Tracker. Hang this shit around his and his supine Congress' neck. 🎁 link

Us: Vote Blue No Matter Who Them: Blame Jew No Matter Who

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Explains the Clinton Derangement Syndrome.

The extent to which these people will go to avoid placing blame on Republicans for bad things Republicans do is actually remarkable I do not actually think Chelsea Clinton’s 2010 wedding guest list was at the top of mind for the Virginia senator when he voted to get federal employees a paycheck!

It's so much easier to blame everyone else but yourself for breaking bread with folks want to punish everyone who isn't like them. If you're silent, you're complicit. Remember that. Should have voted for the brilliant Black lady.

Here it is, your obvious way to start organizing: FOOD BANKS NEED *YOU*. Encourage your friends / relatives who can afford it. Shop just a LITTLE EXTRA where you can, and give it to your local food bank. Be the driver who collects from the neighborhood and delivers to the bank. foodfinder.us

Ok, the deal was definitely the best option if Klein opposes it

It is possible be incandescently angry at some Democrats without using the language of America’s Dumbest Performative Leftists and I strongly urge people to understand this.

When I talk about how voting is what matters.....here's a prime example. Nothing has changed. Voting patterns are exactly the same as before. If you don't show up to the polls, then WTF are you doing?🤦🏽‍♀️

IDK what the alternative is, but maybe some of you who keep screaming "RETIRE! PRIMARY THEM ALL!" at Democrats might want to think about the collateral damage that call might be having. (He's retiring.)

On the one hand, being governor is often a stepping stone to the WH. On the other, 2028 is awhile from now and memories are short.
