Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

The people running the US government are outright Nazis. It’s horrifying.

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

I think this is accurate and I'd expand it further to include the majority of wealthy Americans. Which tend to also be Conservatives. They don't have to be an actual adult until years past the rest of us and they resent that it ever happens.

Beshear, the governor of Kentucky, continues to the model that Democrats pretend doesn’t exist

It might not be relevant to what you're working on, but just in case it is, I suspect this account works on Platner's campaign because they claim to have been following his career for ten years.

Any Platner staffer who is considering signing a gag order should reach out to me. And any Platner employee or vendor who is foisting an NDA on a fellow staffer should find a different line of work. You have become all that you pretend you fight against. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

CNN confirms that multiple sources suggest Graham Platner knew his tattoo was a Nazi symbol years prior to launching his campaign — and is now blatantly lying about it. www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

And this is why you can’t just palm any candidate off on Dem voters. When it comes to the Senate we all suffer. Vet them.

Chris Cillizza is one of the dumbest, most dishonest people on the planet

leftists want you to believe that everyone with a nazi tattoo is a nazi, but the truth is more complicated than that: everyone who doesn’t mind a nazi tattoo is also a nazi

three things i think we can conclude: (1) internal dem polling is showing that a mamdani win is overwhelmingly likely (2) dems finally ran out of ratfucking plays (3) hakeem all but certainly expects some sort of quid pro quo (read: mamdani’s endorsement, when hakeem is up for reelection)

Since the “ceasefire,” Netanyahu has killed 100+ Palestinians, has continued to restrict aid into Gaza, banned all UN investigators, & still enforces an international media blackout. And billionaire owned Washington Post runs this pro genocide editorial. Why do you still have a Wash Post sub?

What's "small" here is John Fetterman, a person so weak of mind and devoid of principles, so used to the lazy grift he switched to after winning office, that he won't even criticize corruption so brazen it has no parallel in American history, the President literally paying himself a fortune.

A huge story is which Democrat campaign consultants were in charge of vetting Platner. They raised millions from donors, large and small, got paid handsomely for it, then promptly delivered to those donors a non-viable candidate.

speaking of tattoo removals 👀

If you’re worried about being run off the road, may I suggest ASL?

If all it took was trans people existing to turn you into a Nazi, you were already a Nazi.

Social media users adopt the toxic behaviors of ingroup members An analysis of 7 million tweets from over 700,000 accounts finds that exposures to toxic behavior by ingroup members is the primary driver of contagious toxicity online academic.oup.com/jcmc/article...

Warped priorities: 17 NYT news stories on the Louvre jewel heist (so far); 3 NYT news stories on 7 MILLION PEOPLE attending No KIngs Day events (including one on late-night comedians and one on Trump's "brown liquid" video.)

Democrats and independents: we don’t have time to be fucking around with this shit! Stop shielding racist candidates. It helps no one. Own the mistake, fix it, and move the hell on. Every time you defend this kind of garbage, it just solidifies the narrative that you’re not actually for POC… 1/2

So not just 'Took a photo with a random Nazi, while having a Nazi tattoo', but 'Took a photo with a Nazi running for political office who was wearing a shirt with 88 on it, who then went on to endorse him, while having a Nazi tattoo' Ya'll, I think he might be a fuckin' Nazi.

I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop. This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

The totenkopf isn't even a "oh I made a mistake" symbol. Most tattoo artists either won't do that work, or they'll ask if you know what it means first. Combined that he claims to have gone 20 YEARS without anyone saying something? He's full of shit

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

Shit. I wanted to like this guy. Graham Platner? More like Graham PLANTner! Oh well. Next!

Guess who’s still dedicated to seating Trump judges :)

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

The number of dems being like, "Oh, so you want some magical rainbow unicorn candidate who has no nazi tattoos? At all???"

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States. For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story. They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see. This is not what we were brought up to think of as journalism.

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

It's incredible just how on the ball trans people were about those US think tanks influencing British politics, going to great length to detail all these links and connections, only for it to fall on deaf ears because of how aggressively trans people were frozen out and disenfranchised.

This so bad. They're cheering for the chickenpox.

Compare yesterday's millions to this and how we couldn't escape breathless coverage of the Tea Partiers at their peak.

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

Colombia: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters” “Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing.” “The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.”

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

people going “hey now! Jesse Singal hasn’t broken any rules so he gets to stay!” weren’t here when the dev team moved heaven and earth to keep one guy off the site because they personally didn’t like him because of a post he deleted before they were even aware of it

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

the US government has arrived on bluesky

Also, they want to make content. And that means they are going to take the worst stuff people say in response to them (this being the internet, some of which might be quite bad) and splash it across the official comms organs of every major federal law enforcement agency. So take that into mind.

Absolutely do not engage these new accounts. Not even for a heartwarming 'fuck off, you nazis'. Block, block, blockity block them.

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

Stay safe for those going to protest tomorrow. Stay peaceful & watch out for outside agitators. There WILL be outside agitators using this peaceful event to paint the left as violent etc. based on past events they’ve tried to infiltrate. Record/document it but do not engage. That’s what they want.
