The NYT has no equal when it comes to confidently misunderstanding online discourse

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

The Hague is the moderate option.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

Media outlets have no issue labeling far right European parties as far right. They don't ever describe the Republican Party this way despite the party being a clear anti-democracy outlier when compared to other far right parties.

Electing Beltran, the man most responsible for introducing the cheating scandal to the Houston clubhouse, is some graduate level cognitive dissonance.

Linear scale of Texas winter weather preparations: 1: Complaining about schools still being open 2: Salting the roads 3: All ingredients for chili are sold out at HEB 4: Ted Cruz on a plane to literally anywhere else 5: Greg Abbott calls for an investigation into why his buddies let the grid fail

For everyone in that post being all “Why do Texans keep electing Republicans:”

I called my representative this morning and told them if they don’t immediately TRY to impeach then no one will ever trust the U.S. again, even after he’s gone. If they see no tangible opposition now, why would they? Join me: www.house.gov/representati...

My statement on funding DHS: The proposed Appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security released today puts no meaningful constraints on the growing lawlessness of ICE, and increases funding for detention over the last Appropriations bill passed in 2024.

every time I read this, I get apocalyptically apoplectic about how clear it is. it is instant. it does not require explicit congressional action to invoke, it instead only requires that to remove. donald trump is not the current president right now, according to the constitution.

The president encounters a binder clip for the first time, then talks about it for a while. Remember when Joe Biden had a raspy voice and every major news organization created a 10-person Biden Is Old investigative team?

They’re so close to getting it

If anyone has any information on the identity of the "advocacy group tyring to overturn election results in certain states” and who were secretly in contact with DOGE, my Signal is DavidGilbert.01 www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

The #FreeAmericaWalkout has kicked off in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. This is what democracy looks like. This is what fighting fascism looks like. #FreeAmericaWalkout

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 No more business as usual. The Free America walkout is underway. #FreeAmerica #FreeAmericaWalkout

DOGE likely perpetrated the most serious, far-reaching data breaches in human history, and we will be dealing with the consequences for years. Many DOGErs should have been, and still could be, prosecuted for these crimes.

In 2024 the United States lost an information war most people didn't even realize we were fighting. We are now living under a hostile occupation government. Historians will eventually understand this.

Danish MEP Anders Vistisen to Donald Trump :”Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, fuck off.”

Gonna blast every YouTuber with a fire hose. For research

All people had to do was vote/convince others to vote.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

The conduct of ICE agents during the government's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis evokes the attacks by police officers in Birmingham, Alabama, on civil rights protesters in 1963, experts said following a federal judge's ruling on the agency's behavior.

In today’s edition of IF I WAS PRESIDENT: I would abolish ICE. The US should not and cannot have a “secret force”. Because of théir tactics and how they have been operating, I would black list everyone employed by them. There is not “I was following orders” bullshit.

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

“Biden is too old” and “Kamala laughs funny” and some other shit

If you can see the parallels between there and what’s happening here, congratulations… you have a functioning brain.

The world order as we’ve known for the last century is disappearing. And in its place, a new order shaped by the private interests of individual men and their fiercest allies, not the interests, private or public, fair or foul, good or bad, of a nation.

Saint Paul Public Schools, one of the biggest school districts in the state, is closed for the next two days because teachers need time to build hybrid learning because unaccountable masked, armed federal government goons have made it too difficult for nonwhite children to leave their homes.

Quietly, around Thanksgiving, when Americans rarely take a break from eating to read, the Trump regime published its National Security Strategy. And it's a plan for the end of the American/NATO alliance as we've known it.

Sadly not satire for a lot of country

All about the content @dennycarter.bsky.social

1/ This is Miller’s pretext language for invoking the Insurrection Act. By claiming that “local and state police have been ordered to stand down and surrender,” he is redefining the relationship between Minnesota and Washington in war terms…

Honestly, we should be more worried about each candidates ground game than about media messaging. Mamdani won with a strong field game. That's the lesson other Democrats, whether they're progressive or moderate should take away. Few talk about that though. Criticizing media messaging is easier.

It's not odd. It's entirely consistent with the bitch eating crackers mentality the very online have about things all Democrats (except a few deemed acceptable) say. I think Schumer is a weak leader and should be replaced, but anyone who claims running on economics is bad is internet brain poisoned.

Yeah, the narrative of the last decade+ has been about decline of center left parties in the West, but the collapse of the center-right everywhere is really the meat of the story, and no example is as dramatic as the Republican party

Carney speech is important for the specific people in that room because most of them are definitely still flirting with “we just have to knuckle this out until a normal president is in“ and he is trying to communicate that that is insufficient

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

When I was in school we’d have posters of Shaq and Vince Carter drinking milk and now it’s like hey want to see this weird looking person who gets paid to make your uncle racist

THE GOOD SHEPHERD SCHOOL.

Read this excellent piece. Buckle is right. Liberalism is alive and well -- in fact, more popular & more activist than any time since Reagan. Liberals did not become fascists. Conservatives became fascists. Liberalism did not die. The center-right died so the far-right might live.
