MAGA: 2016 was fair! (Obama was President) 2020 was rigged! (Trump was President) 2024 was fair! (Biden was President) They’re going to rig 2026! (Trump is President) Why is Donald Trump so fucking bad at securing elections according to MAGA?

So the guy DOJ has put in charge of charging antifa “domestic terrorists” is himself one of the j6 boys …

We need to prepare better for climate change or else we won't be ready when it comes...[taps earpiece]....Hang on, I'm getting news....

Was hoping for the crossover event of the decade wherein - when football DID finally come home - it found a bunch of other sports attempting to shag Mrs. Football and so had to disguise itself as a lowly beggar to partake in (and win) an archery contest. Football then murders all the other sports

YES, TODD BLANCHE, IT EFFING IS A BLACK AND WHITE ANSWER THE FOURTH AMENDMENT PROSCRIPTION AGAINST WARRANTLESS SEARCHES AND SEIZURES MAKES IT A BLACK AND WHITE ANSWER

Lot of bad things here but "teen CPD employee" is one of them.

YOU PASS LAWS TO FORCE KIDS OFF THE INTERNET AND THEN CREATE TASK FORCES TO PUNISH THEM FOR GOING OUTSIDE, WHERE THE FUCK ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED TO EXIST???

Two Minnesota solar farms seeded native wildflowers under their panels, and 5 years of counting revealed native bees had multiplied twentyfold, then crossed the fence to pollinate the neighbour's soybeans

Gee golly it’s almost like it was stupid for the party headhunters to support this man from the very beginning and then increasingly so with every new piece of information, and now the American people are paying a price for that stupidity!

Whoever can create free, limitless electricity wins capitalism. The U.S. has chosen to go all-in on something that, instead, *consumes* vast quantities of electricity, while giving up on power generation.

activists introduce the phrase “defund the police” in 2020: nationwide conniptions, years of scolding, no real-world consequences gop bureaucrats actually, illegally, defund science: careers destroyed, progress set back decades, nat’l reputation in shambles, story on page D13

in a lot of ways the current republican government is just the worst, extractive red state governance taken national. total hostility to public goods, total indifference to long-term investment, and a monomaniacal interest in using the state to enrich private benefactors

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Joan Sebastian Guerrero Ruben Ray Martinez Alex Pretti Renee Good Dozens of other innocent lives. These deaths aren’t mistakes. They’re the result of choices. Policy choices. Funding choices. Choices to not hold this Administration accountable. It’s time to SHUT. IT. DOWN!

BREAKING: The Trump administration's illegal attack on national monuments #47 just signed two presidential proclamations to dismantle protections for nearly 3 million acres of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments. #Pinks #DV1 #ProudBlue

If Nolan Wells was a white male with three Black friends this would be a huge investigation and those friends would likely have been arrested. #NolanWells #Pinks #ProudBlue

An incredible euphemism here for “the government is doing illegal discrimination”

One piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla and one other thing lady strikes again. 🤨😡

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?

What’s really getting me about this and all the ai food I’ve seen, is how comfortable we’ve gotten with false advertisement. The idea of generating AI ads without considering the need to replicate the look of the food advertised should be a huge tell of how comfortable we’ve become with it.

Trump is going to declare Ossoff and Warnock the fraudulent winners of a rigged election. I’m wondering if Schumer has any plans to fight back at all.

“Prebunking” has been found to be very effective in neutralizing disinformation

And if anyone needs Jan 6 footage, or a review of all Trump's bullshit lawsuits and maneuvers in 2020, feel free to reach out. (The Jan 6 Big Timeline has the whole buildup other than some legal stuff.) Again, please! You have 3 days. Enough to write an article, not just transcribe a speech. 2/

Exactly. The president is going to spin some incredible lies about the 2020 election and the media -- and every single Democrat in the country -- has to be ready to smack this bullshit down immediately. Not a mealy-mouthed fact check or, golly, this is weird. Call it out as an assault on democracy.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

Between this and the national guard in Memphis it’s kind of disturbing me (yes I know I’m a member of the media) the degree to which these killings aren’t really breaking thru rn

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

i am begging democrats to take this threat to our elections as seriously as they take a fundraising deadline

ICE murders someone, gets caught joking about it, nothing happens to anyone involved. I worry that the sheer grim repetition is having the desired numbing effect on the media and politicians.

I have no idea why any reasonable person would believe anything tech companies say about anything at this point, AI related or otherwise hostile skepticism should be the public default

One of the most memorable scenes in the history of cinema. RIP Sam Neill

Also missing from the piece: the reality that endorsing basic facts like "vaccines are safe" or "we're warming the climate" will now be perceived as a partisan political statement. So science will be perceived as partisan unless we actively suppress our own findings.

Why Do We Have A Meeting With HR?

🧵 The Trump administration has apparently been scheming for months to steal taxpayer dollars from a bipartisan commission for Trump’s own Freedom 250 LLC.

Wow. “The three directorates are being required to pull back NSF proposals that have already passed peer review and have been recommended for funding. Some of the funds will be funnelled to another project, a brainchild of the White House OSTP.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

[extremely evidence based centrist voice] green power is now the cheapest kind available, carbon pollution is worse than anyone thought, it turns out oil is geostrategically risky, and that's why we need to double down on oil and gas production

Schrödinger‘s political science: simultaneously so hackish & irrelevant that 50 years of research about how elites shape public opinion can be constantly ignored, & also so powerful that our mere papers can change politicians’ behavior & render our theories completely wrong. Pick a lane, man 🤷‍♂️

Trump's Bullshit Strategy is the Strategy Let’s stop pretending Donald Trump is merely mistaken, confused, or prone to exaggeration. He lies. Constantly. Deliberately. And the bullshit is not incidental to his politics. It is his politics.

So if we don’t allow Athletes to bet on games that they have the ability to influence… Why do we allow Congress to invest in companies they regulate?

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

An awful lot of folks didn’t read the article, and then tried to defend ridiculous positions after that was pointed out to them. So: this guy did nothing unreasonable. He happened to be walking by quite some distance away from the bison. Had no idea of the context. Paused a second to see…

It’s so fucked up.

And here’s another thing… Deregulation like this isn’t just about fossils… it’s pressure from the techbros so they can get their infrastructure built faster. apnews.com/article/trum...

A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.
