I mean this with full sincerity: this is legitimately what activists should be calling for. Not "defund" or "abolish" or some grand demand that won't work. Specific, highly-supported incrementalism works. The right does it constantly. You can too. "Make cops shooting dogs illegal." Just say that.

We're going to get a Klippenstein article in like three weeks about how the guy the White House had to hire to start fishing the dead ducks out of the Reflecting Pool is actually the nephew of a Qatari investor in Eric Trump's crypto company, just calling that shot right here and right now

This is 65-25 issue and Dems are going to run on border security or some shit

Really, this is what makes me angriest about Musk et al: there is categorically no different between him being a billionaire or a trillionaire. At that point it’s already effectively infinite money. He’s not getting richer; he’s essentially making everyone—literally everyone—else poorer.

NPR is comparing a trans woman fleeing Texas for her personal safety with a conservative fleeing Seattle because he was annoyed with his neighbors. This is honestly insane both sides framing to a degree that is just blatant lying by omission.

Just tell him there are homeless people sleeping in it

Folks, we got him

If it’s any consolation, they can easily switch to their backup plan of mud wrestling

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

Oh so it's not a full person when it's in the third trimester now huh

I’m guessing they wanted to identify her as a “former Biden official” because it wouldn’t have been as effective to identify her as the head of communications for John Edwards who is yet another Democrat who apparently just doesn’t exist anymore

How is this somehow the most savage tweet ever written

My entire feed is people from all across the country suggesting someone named James Dolan to "eat shit and die" more or less and I think that's an America worth fighting for

The Scots found the Boston cop slide @everyone @edsbs.bsky.social @brianmfloyd.bsky.social @cjzero.bsky.social

I think this is largely what is fueling much of the anti-incumbent sentiment among Democrats, far more than age or even placement on left – center balance. I think voters simply don’t want power to be put into the hands of Democrats who are all friends with these people.

Pixar Screenwriters: In our movie we invented the Lilypad as a cautionary tale Disney Company: At long last, we have created the Lilypad from upcoming Pixar movie Don’t Play with the Lilypad

Someone sent me a Harry and David gift box as a surprise so I didn’t know about it and it was sitting at the delivery location for four days and I cannot express in mortal terms how heartbreaking it is to have to throw away nearly two pounds of cheese

Just a reminder because it seems to pick up a lot more during election season, but if you are constantly bragging about how often you are blocking people, it is probably not all the people you are blocking who are the problem

*bravely* I might do my job now

Politically, the only hope I think this country truly has is Democrats holding the trifecta in 2029 right when Social Security is collapsing and they will have no choice but to actually raise taxes and once everyone sees how that works it’ll be like the Brand New Day sequence in The Wiz

If you over-regulate capitalism you get totalitarian communism. If you under-regulate capitalism you get a ruling caste of insane monopolists. Please ignore the fact that one of these things has never happened and the other keeps happening over and over

I know it’s partially being mid-40’s and not accepting an entire new generation is now of age and just getting into politics but it’s still very funny Democrats have generally started pretending Bill Clinton didn't exist for the purpose of arguments about values and morality

In 2012, 30 states allowed no-excuse mail-in voting. In 2016, 8 states saw more than a fourth of voters send in their ballots. Taibbi has either gotten a lot dumber, or he just doesn't give a shit anymore.

Has anyone ever been as vindicated by history as Ilhan Omar when she called out AIPAC's influence in 2019? www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

These people hate you and you don’t hate them enough for it

It’s increasingly bizarre how no one (save Iran maybe) wants to admit the actual sole fail point in any possible Iran deal is the US would actually have to force Israel, either financially or diplomatically, to stop bombing Iran, and the US clearly will not do this

These people are so fucking mad that instead of siphoning all his donors’ money to consultants who will tell him to propose college loan deferrals for small businesses in minority neighborhoods he’s just saying the same stuff that got Trump elected twice.

this might be the best headline i’ve ever read

The SpaceX IPO feels like that nightmare Sarah Connor has in Terminator 2 where she's just screaming at herself playing on a swingset before the world is incinerated. Just the pure horror of helplessness at what's obviously coming. There's nothing we can do. People are just going to lose everything.

they should be slicing up these people's brains and putting them under a microscope after they die like wrestlers and NFL players man. chronic transphobic encephalopathy

To be clear: ignoring that these guys are full of shit when they say this, this is a plan in which the worst case is Republicans keep the Senate and control possibly two more Supreme Court picks, and the best case is John Fetterman becomes the most powerful man in the country.

Inside you there are two wolves

Three days from now there will be rowdy celebrations in New York City over the Knicks winning the NBA finals which will unfortunately but undoubtedly include some fights and/or property damage and these same men will be asking why the police didn’t use live ammunition against it

To be clear: this is in reference to a mob of people who set fire to the homes of more than two dozen people because they weren’t white.

The “settlement money” line is the darkest capstone to this arc because it implies the universe has somehow found a way to actually make Noel worse by giving him a trust fund

It feels like we say this over and over but even more so today after the mini-Krystallnacht its owner instigated this week: it is absolutely insane what a cesspool of just open and unfettered racism Twitter is now. You literally cannot avoid it. The algorithm no longer lets you.

Pokemon Go blow up a children’s hospital

We are so unbelievably close to this but on a parade float

I don’t follow sports but I was raised a Red Sox fan so I support the Knicks because more teams named after underwear should win championships

Feelings don’t care about your facts.

I deeply regret that I must sadly inform all of you that you do, in fact, got to hand this one to her

Platner’s detractors for six months: he’s going to get eaten alive. There’s going to be so much dumped on him. There’s no way he’ll be able to fight back. He’s going to get destroyed Platner’s first general election ad: anyone who opposes me is a pedophile

Fingers crossed but I genuinely think Fetterman will be stupid enough to endorse Collins.

Know who's more likely to be a "Fetterman" if they win their primaries? Chris Pappas in New Hampshire. Haley Stevens in Michigan. Angie Craig in Minnesota. Cindy Burbank or Dan Osborn in Nebraska. Josh Turek in Iowa. But I don't hear a damn word from people on this app warning about them.

God it's so wonderful how no one meant anything they said in 2024 and nothing ever actually mattered except being right in arguments with strangers on the internet

Were either winning like eleven senate seats or losing two, there’s no middle ground at this point

I will vote for any president, Democrat or Republican, who promises to put the people who do this in prison

The fundamental, guiding principle of the right-wing political party in this country, however it existed at that point in time, is they only want white people to vote. Every political theory and opinion about how voting "should be run" stems from that ultimate conclusion. That is what they want.

By the way, no one in the media was complaining about this when Election Night in 2020 lasted for five days. It was the greatest moment in their lives (and ratings). They get only mad only when it happens in California because it's boring to them. That's all it has ever been.

“Mr. Platner, given your completely legal activities, do you think you have the right to say raping children is bad?” You don’t hate these people enough.
