JD Vance: the first adult groomed by teenagers

I'm expecting a huge number of Schumerite Dems to try to "rescue" Netanyahu from Trump, with embarrassing, servile actions that the public comes to associate with our party as a whole and could damage us badly this fall if we don't act fast—somehow.

Does anyone (in or out of state or federal government) have standing to sue? Or is this simply another circumstance we never expected to see weaponized, so have no protection against?

We have seen Brown folks in Yonkers, NY receive tickets for fishing without a license. This has never before happened. Clearly this is the intention.

like after this, it's hard to say the US is only proposing radical things to get reforms - they mean the things they say, they just get convinced the costs of doing them are too high... for now. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

This is a good point. The oligarchs, who if anything had it pretty easy under democracy, have thrown us to the fascist wolves. And they had another option. Let's remember that when reconstruction time arrives.

Democrats ought to do this everyday.

it's remarkable how like, you can visibly notice how people who still use X regularly are either getting dragged to the right (if on the centre-left or centre) or just getting more toxic in general

BREAKING: Georgia lawmakers have taken redistricting off the table as a result of public pressure. The state will no longer consider a new, racist map that would have diluted Black voting power. This victory makes it loud and clear: Our demands are working.

say what you will about pre-Musk X but i don't recall female suffrage being a point of contention

I know "Imagine if a Democratic president said this" gets tiring, but if a Democratic president said this, Republicans would wave this comment as the bloody shirt of betrayal FOR DECADES

Tbh Labour constantly give off the energy of someone who's constantly seeking approval from people who don't want them and withholding to the people who do

Part of the explanation has to be the dominance of triangulation as *the* centre-left strategy since 90s. Even if most of their voters are not like that thing they describe, their entire political career has been based on ignoring their real core voters and reaching for people who don't like them.

This has nothing to do with age and everything to do with the fact that I’m considering abandoning the beautiful Life I’ve built for myself due to the government trying to make public life unliveable for me.

genuinely incredible watching Dort not know who Gerry Adams is

the citizen suit provision in the clean air act was included for this specific and exact reason. insane memo, completely incomprehensible levels of corruption

Why did we pass the Gun Control Act in 1968, Li'l Bobby? Specifically, what part of your childhood connects to federal gun control laws? Think REAL HARD, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, about the issue of gun control as it relates to YOUR childhood, SPECIFICALLY. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_Con...

I’ll admit when we started @liberalcurrents.com I did not expect a significant portion of our output to be “everything is gender,” but turns out, everything is gender

I guess I'll end by saying this: Jo Cox's murder was a watershed moment. British Politics today is the way it is because an MP lost her life in a white supremacist terrorist attack. And the government did nothing about it. We don't get to where we are today without that. End/

Newsom spent the last year working to prove he's an across-the-aisle guy who can work with — and befriend — even fascists. This is what it got him. This is why you don't associate with them in any capacity whatsoever.

Not even "Everybody is twelve" theory suffices for what we just saw, as your typical twelve year old would have found it embarrassing beyond belief.

when I got laid off from Vice, I later found out that members of the c-suite had awarded themselves bonuses that were higher than my annual salary. I hope that answers your question.

On "Kidult" film theory and our social and political reality as we just watched Donald Trump and Elon Musk throw for themselves what can only be described as the fantasy birthday party of a seven year-old boy.

I think it's important for people to read the kind of comments a judge has to make to extremely vulnerable people in order to get sanctioned.

Here's @drewforny.bsky.social in the @forward.com saying he's for divesting from Israel bonds. "New York state must not enable or be complicit in such human misery any longer." He got my vote. forward.com/opinion/8179...

SCOOP from @by-cjewett.bsky.social & me: Markwayne Mullin urged the Department of Health and Human Service to remove warnings from the FDA website about the health risks of the gas station drug kratom. Mullin owns equity in a leading kratom company called Botanic Tonics that could have benefited.

Me trying to explain fascism to students: "A lot has to do with fear of supposedly stable gendered boundaries blurring, and how that maps onto racial and national hierarchies. But can I really say transphobia is the lodestone to fascism?" Aleksandr Dugin: "Ukrainians are collective transgenders."

Mephistopheles Visits Faust, Oil on Canvas (1823)

It hurts because this will absolutely happen

My deepest condolences to the people of Ukraine following the missile attack at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. A place of faith, history, and cultural heritage should never be a target of war. My thoughts are with those affected and with all Ukrainians enduring these relentless attacks. 💙💛

Oh my god our famous Kyiv cinema studio is on fire , early reports say . Russians bombed it. Russia doesn’t want culture to even exist

When you combine abject terror of the far-right with a total lack of curiosity and a desperate desire to save money, you end up here.

I think that more people need to see this and be aware of this toxic dynamic. I do not believe that most ppl would think this dynamic is ok or good for our country or them. Esp now when trump & team no longer pretend that they GAF about regular ppl.

These are the 30 women killed since 2020 in Northern Ireland, all by white men 21 killed in their homes by men they knew. The youngest 20, the oldest 82 21 were mothers, 4 were killed with their children in the home. Two were pregnant Nobody rioted over their murders www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is all cosplay for the biggest cowards on the planet

This is true - but it's not just Starmer: it's every UK political party and senior political figure. They are all locked into a platform specifically designed to advocate white supremacy and the overthrow of democracy. And, as a result, they are all enabling both.

UK papers this morning are horrendous, exemplified in the Times editors saying the ultimate cause for fascist unionists in Northern Ireland conducting a pogrom, burning houses and attacking non-white people in the streets is ‘legal and illegal immigration’, calling it a ‘national security risk’

it's just amazing to me how the UK government is totally, absolutely determined to refuse to say a single bad thing about elon musk, a man who is literally trying to get them killed

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon ("Tommy Robinson") is literally trying to start a race war in Britain, while visiting Russia and singing the praises of Putin, and is funded by "wealthy US backers." In case you don't get it yet.

Russia is openly waging a form of hybrid warfare against us and this is part of it.

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.

When Starmer goes what I'll remember most is that he had a huge majority but was terrified of the right and so failed to confront racist insurrectionists.

Yep this is me. Nothing and I really do mean nothing is more important than beating the far right. If Burnham fails to do take them on too then we really are in big trouble.

Elon Musk is paying fascists to riot and attack minorities in our cities. Some he is paying, others he doesn't need to, the X algorithm and revenue program do the rest. The UK's leading nazi thug is posting from a Moscow hotel room right now. We need to wake up to foreign money and the far right.

Video that will and should remain stain on Belfast and show state these thugs. Family running from a burning house.

will lowe ever get near high office? idk, not the point musk is the richest man on earth, his site is poisoning the minds of virtually our entire political class, rhetoric the bnp would have skirted is now mainstream, there are race riots & houses on fire *as i type this* bsky.app/profile/polp...

If the UK government don’t take urgent action over the far right networks whipping things up, what’s even the point? This is murderous, fascistic stuff. So terrifying.
