This shit makes me fucking sick.

I think tonight is the night when Donald Trump finally becomes President

Eventually, one probably has to wonder why nearly every progressive-leaning person decided to spend 4 years of the most progressive administration in history shitting on said administration nearly 24/7, and how every attempt to get them to do otherwise was met with "what, and do Dem PR for *freee*?"

RFK, jr. is one of the few high profile people in the world who is as naturally and unpleasantly weird as donald trump, and for many of the same reasons

the thing that gets me about the antivoting leftists is that they don't just want to not vote. they want to not vote and have all the rest of us admit how cool and good it is. a participation trophy for laziness

there's a real, important, and quite large divide between D and R economic policies. and it's clear who's constantly pushing for the priorities of the super wealthy.

Imagine if some of you could have turned the energy you spend on defending the DSA from the latest antics of the IC on defending the actual progressive accomplishments of Democrats under Biden.

trump creating the incentive and permission structure for democrats to do insane 2010-era gerrymandering of their own may turn out to be one of the biggest self-owns of all time. dems are now pretty likely to emerge with an advantage from the 2025-26 redistricting wars

As Craig Ferguson famously said about Twitter: “Ask yourself the three things you must always ask yourself before you say anything: 1) Does this need to be said? 2) Does this need to be said by ME? 3) Does this need to be said by me NOW?”

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

"Slavery was real" Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington. Presidents House, Philadelphia.

If you can “give” your Nobel Peace Prize to someone like Donald Trump, you clearly didn’t deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

“Trump thinks dinner will only cost you $3 while he builds a golden ballroom” is a messaging gift from the politics gods

Rahm Emanuel's sole base of support.

He may be the president but Trump is just another bully and this is what they do 👇🏼

It’s amazing how many people with crosses in their bios are like “fuck yeah they shot that soccer mom in the face!”

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

*checks notes* The majority of white men & women voters who chose this yet again as always since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Everyone else who voted for it too. Everyone who sat out Everyone who voted against it but spent the whole time suppressing the vote Access journalists normalizing it…

Let's be real, this isn't an ALL young men problem. It's a white straight young men problem and if "investing in them" comes at ignoring the more reliable voting blocs in the coalition, or the social cancer that the Manosphere is, you risk losing more than you gain.

We all need a well-rounded education, in both science and humanities, so that we have a basic grasp of the world around us, and are inoculated against tin-hat conspiracy theories, scams, and frauds. Education is important. At all points during your life. It never ends. There's so much to learn!

I tell my students “ the only thing they can’t take from you is education- get as much of it as you can”

Johnson and Thune have effectively abolished Congress. Isn't that great? And don't anyone dare blame Democrats. (I already see the "Chuckie wrote a stern letter!" crap starting up anew.) The only way that Democrats can be a bulwark against this madness is if people CONSISTENTLY VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS.

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Make. It. Make. Sense.

Trump’s forces have kidnapped Venezuelans in my neighborhood, so it’s not a big surprise they’d kidnap Venezuelans in Venezuela.

Politicians are not our saviors. They’re there to do the job we elected them to do in a democracy. The party with the most seats wins and has the power. Handing majority power to sociopaths in November 2024 was a choice this country will have to reckon with and SAVE ITSELF from. Good luck.

Lol

Quelle surprise.

I have the utmost confidence in the ability of AG Bondi’s DOJ to turn this into an absolute clown show before fumbling the bag spectacularly.

Every person who stayed home in 2024 or argued that Harris was as bad as Trump or worse or that regardless of outcomes the US had to be punished for this or that who is now acting outraged and appalled should be entirely ignored, honestly. Congrats, this is the bed you helped make.

The message: do not trust us.

Congrats to all the damn Gaza-obsessed "Leftists" and so-called "Progressives" in this country that savaged Kamala Harris and helped Trump defeat her in an election... None of this would be happening if SHE was President right now. You were self-righteously ignorant, gullible, and manipulated.

The Republicans tried to stir up pogroms against Haitian communities during the 2024 campaign, and they’re setting the stage to do the same thing to Somalis as we head into 2026. It’s the new migrant caravans, but potentially far more deadly.

💯

god, i hate this Bold statement. Second bold statement. approach to writing that bari weiss has, it's incredibly pretentious and self aggrandizing without actually saying much of importance, and it's all over everything she touches.

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.

The conflation of subject-matter experts with "advocates" just pisses me off. They're. Not. The. Same. Thing.

Chanced across Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny. Just in case anyone needs a refresher course on his guide to resistance.

If I don't care much for Charlie Dent as a political commentator, does that mean I'm a rabid anti-Dentite? 🤔

This is literally one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen, anywhere.

Tear it all down. I want the historical record to be full of scenes like the newsreel footage of the allies dynamiting swastikas in the aftermath of WWII.

And you need to be realistic instead of constantly parroting to “expand the courts” because a populist says it knowing the math isn’t there. Pass one of the bills that mandates the Supreme Court actually have a basic ethics clause & elect Democrats consistently so that they can nominate the judges.

The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

I'm pretty sure "Bari" is a nickname for "Embarrassing."

It’s going to be the Donald J. Trump and Washington Monument before the end of next year

If you think Trump's bad polling doesn't matter, I hope you reconsider after tonight's elections. Maybe his unpopularity doesn't affect *his* behavior, but it definitely impacts tons of other people—including many GOP voters who are either switching sides or staying home.

Congrats to this Queen! Can't wait to see the great things she'll do for the people of Miami! Rooting for you, Mayor-elect Higgins! ❤️

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us
