I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

In this week's instance of inane bullshit about leftists that's receiving more dunk quotes than likes:

It was @bhighking.bsky.social who first pointed out this sort of thing is evidence we don't need to devote so much space to extremely wide car lanes. Look how well they manage on a relatively skinny bike trail.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

I truly don't understand how democratic leadership think they are going to move forward after voting to honor a white nationalist who essentially called Black women—the base of the party—stupid. It's insulting. I find it personally insulting.

Ranked choice voting means you actually get to vote for what you want. I’m ranking Davis 1st because I like him. I’m ranking Omar 2nd because I think he’s the most likely to win and I agree with his policies the most. I’m ranking Jazz 3rd bc not ranking all 3 is a vote for Frey! We deserve better!

Roof Depot is appraised at $3.76 M. EPNI is ready to pay $10.2M today. Frey still wants $15.9M and won’t even take meetings to talk about it. Y’all wanna talk about scandals in this mayoral race? This is the big one imo Don’t Rank Frey

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Help out our houseless neighbors. They really need it this week ❤️

The fact that left-of-center folks see it as hypocrisy is itself a sign that they do not understand the contemporary right. From the basic Wilhoit-ian perspective of conservatism, there's no contradiction, no hypocrisy. Power *is* the principle.

Spot on. I feel like local corporate media has tried to make this race Fateh vs. Frey after the city convention. So, I really appreciate Naomi for reminding us there are at least 3 solid replacements for Frey, and that we can help them win by getting out there now. 🙌🙌

🤣🤣🤣 Presenting: my Congressperson. Y'all, this is how Democrats *should* be responding to these fascist morons hahaha

Well, shit. #LFC

A new poll from Data for Progress found that “voters of all parties” are open to leftist policies, and that a majority of Democratic voters polled preferred democratic socialism to capitalism “when written definitions of each are read aloud to them.” Read more: www.teenvogue.com/story/gen-z-...

Peak consultant culture envisions turning every election into a "vote the team jersey" proposition rather than an actual competition of ideas and directions for the country. Reframing Democrats as Republican Lite will never win elections. It's not fresh and bold, it's just cowardly and stupid.

Controlled opposition

It is over for the genocide deniers. Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide. Those who supported Israel's onslaught: You backed a genocide. You will never scrub the shame away.

If given four more years, the Frey administration will continue to fence off every remaining public space in Minneapolis until there are no spaces left that you can access without paying for something first.

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness. Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

I would very much like to be able to take a train to visit family in Iowa vs. that boring drive down I-35 and back.

look, focus groups take time and then the consultants need to write up a report, I'm sure @schumer.senate.gov will get around to addressing this fascist crackdown on the first amendment sometime before christmas

So let me get this straight: the purpose of legacy media now, is to venerate Trump, white supremacy and Christian nationalism (and also Israel…) and any journalist of color who doesn’t go along will be fired.

I was wary when I read the headline and saw the drawing, but damn. Yes. Slow clap. Well done. 👏👏👏 This is the content I subscribe for!

Let me know if there is a reputable organization representing all the people illegally fired for truthful speech about the dead guy as they sue their employers for ten billion dollars. I will donate.

Also because every accusation is a confession with this party

You know when there are more quote posts than likes that someone said something inordinately stupid. Today's example comes to us from Bill Kristol. Take it away, Bill:

I can always count on the Premier League announcers to be awful--been muting the TV at points #LFC

4'33: The Remixes 4'33 (Shh! The Schoolmarm Librarian Mix) 4'33 (The Club Is Dead Mix) 4'33 (DJ Quiet Place Mix) 4'33 x Bullet With Butterfly Wings (Despite All My Rage, Still A Troll By A Man Named John Cage) 4'33 (There's No Sound But It's Okay Thunderpuss Mix) 9'06 (Chopped N Screwed)

TV journalism is trash--it boils down to "we trolled Twitter for quotes and will do no fact-checking of our own. Lean into your biases to reach whatever conclusion you will, and please don't tune out the advertisements"

This letter is now live and ready for signatories! We are asking cisgender allies in Minnesota who consider themselves members of the DFL to sign on to show support for trans people here.

One of the reasons why people often prefer debating ("dining across the divide") with the far right than the left is that the former makes them feel good about themselves by comparison Debates with/amongst the left bring up uncomfortable reflections about our participation in systems of oppression

If I don't see multiple ~media reporters~ columns about the extraordinarily irresponsible Wall Street Journal report from yesterday morning — and their extensive promotion of that inflammatory report — you all should just pack up and go home.

minneapolis is going to repeal the ordinance that bans bathhouses. we need these community centers back for the sake of harm reduction, testing, etc. they are vital spaces for the queer community. sign the petition! @elliottpayne.org @ward1.minneapolismn.gov

Hell yes. We will watch them buuurrrr-hurrrrr-huuurrrrnnnnnnnnnnnn. WATCH THEM BURN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Brilliant. I needed this today 🙌😂

I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Charlie Kirk’s ultimate goal, which he said time and time again, would have been the suppression, through threat of violence and the use of state power, of the rights of those he disagreed with, including freedom of expression. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

As always, when Naomi talks, it's good to listen

The mainstream media is never going to ever “do better.” It’s just going to get worse and worse. Liberals need to integrate media pressure and criticism into our politics. The press is not an ally.

Every Apple event

Completely and totally unacceptable behavior from leadership of a recently chartered DFL Community Caucus. Transphobia anywhere is a threat to our community everywhere. This is only the most recent example of transphobia being tolerated within the party. When will @dfl.org step in to stop this?

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity. As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.

Jacob Frey has been mayor of Minneapolis since 2017, and he claims to believe in “progressive governance”—but, like California’s Governor Gavin Newsom, he’s really just a conservative wearing the “progressive” label like a cloak. www.currentaffairs.org/news/omar-fa...

People are learning for the first time how authoritarian blue city governments are. Why TF do they think folks were in the streets?!

My manifesto has the same title, but I bet we diverge widely within the first paragraph and never meet again.

This is trans rights, too. There is no viable position for the Democrats other than “trans rights are human rights.” Trying to triangulate a position where you throw trans people under the bus “just a little” to woo swing voters only feeds the right’s argument that trans people are a threat 1/x

What else is in the Teaches of Peaches? Huh? What?
