unlike you guys, i only suffer from posters gladness

Do you have a firmest belief? I’m texting a friend who just said “X is my firmest belief,” and I don’t mind telling you he sent me into an existential vortex of disbelief and non-meaning because I do not know what the hell my firmest belief is.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand. There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise. Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

but don’t take away from that the idea that food banks are useless. they’re going to feed people- not going to feed them enough, and not going to feed enough people, but food in mouths. anything you can do for food banks right now isn’t at all wasted, it is more sure to be useful than ever

five days and a few hours to go and at this point I'm just gonna be shameless: if you can help signal-boost this thing, I'd be grateful. I've done very well through my own channels, but haven't had much luck breaking out beyond them. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

He’s tearing down the People’s House for a luxury ballroom.

Angel hair. Spaghetti should be as chunky as possible. Why a pile of glop 😖

a second day of the same discourse? no. no thank you. instead I need you to name your least favorite pasta shape

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

sad for New York to reject him when his catholic, and in some ways jewish, mother survived 9/11 then died of cancer soon after moving to the city in 2003, a tragedy he was forced to relive in 2016 when his mother died of cancer. his only crime? a few fake charities and also every other type of fraud

This is among the most corrupt things a president has ever suggested, and I hope the press treats it that way. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

No Kings!

NYC tomorrow! See you there!

Block @whitehouse-47.bsky.social and then attend a No Kings protest tomorrow.

It’s always worth remembering that this utterly horrific wave of mass death inflicted on some of the poorest people in the world was for literally nothing. It hasn’t even been for some monstrously cynical benefit to someone, it hasn’t saved money. It is just some of the purest nihilism imaginable

either the big normie protests are too lame to go to or too dangerous but the important thing is you stay at home and keep reading my posts instead

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

incredible to live in the timeline where a whole musical was made and cultures were developed about the kinds of cars that women like and toxic masculinity decided to morph from making those cars to making ones that do to the chicks whatever the opposite of the lyrics of Grease Lightening are

"what is the point of a democracy" well bud the other options are worse. thats the point.

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

"I'm American, you stupid bitch." Incredible.

Barry Lyndon × 21 Savage "a lot"

telling anti-Yoon activists they aren't real protestors www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Troy, Pearl Harbor, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Transformers, the Island ... can you guess what years I was in middle/high school lol

My six year old will be carrying this one!

My vote in the 2028 D primary for POTUS will hinge almost entirely on the % of this Administration they promise to imprison

Proud of my son's sign that he designed and made today ❌👑❌

I refuse to hand it to the orange fuck because he wants my kind dead or in the closet and that's the long and short of it. I don't care which group of Middle Eastern war criminals is your favorite.

They like what Trump is doing, this really isn't hard. It's not both-sideism, it's running cover for the regime by choice in order to reach a desired outcome. Can we please stop cutting this institution slack it does not deserve?

If you’ve never been to a big protest like No Kings before: It feels great to be part of a big gathering of people who want to change things. It sparks joy, and resolve for the long fight ahead. Sometimes there are dance parties. You could be the one who starts the dance party! Just show up!

Oh lord this is a scorcher

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

A fun fact about the politics of federal supremacy is that the Slave Power LOVED federal supremacy, and federal power generally, for the entirety of the 1850s Then very suddenly they didn't anymore

They like what Trump's doing! Sorry to all those too blind to see it! Not my problem!

Okay. Well, if Trump is going to attempt legal end-arounds like federalizing the NG of GOP states to send them to Dem states over the objections of governors and courts, I think the Democrats should just keep the federal government shut down indefinitely.

they’re illegally sending troops from more and more states to occupy my fucking city because a bunch of shitass ICE chumps can’t tolerate a person in an inflatable frog costume legally gyrating at them in front of a single building they lease from us, keep it fucking shut down, fuck these people

My thing is, my family came to the U.S. from an authoritarian country and I'm not moving again so we have no choice but to win and fix all this shit

If Dems ever hold power again, they need to create a Bureau of Federal Accountability, tasked with resources to not just investigate individual malfeasance, but conduct huge audits of entire agencies, top to bottom, with resources to bring sweeping legal actions. And then feed DHS into it

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

ok this breakdown of AI writing indicators is incredible. Huge shout-out to the Wikipedia community for this

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.
