I was elected as a democratic socialist, and will continue to govern as a democratic socialist. 100 days in — and we’re just getting started.

Funny how Jared failed at bringing peace to the Middle East an JD failed in his mission to secure an Orban victory in Hungary. It’s like they both took negotiation lessons from the president, the guy who was so good at business deals his casinos filed for bankruptcy (four times).

All I want is for Democrats who speak of Republicans the same way Republicans have of them since Newt. Call them terrorists. Say Republicans hate freedom and America. Accuse Republicans of being deviants to children. As a bonus, none of this is a lie

"You can be poor and a Capitalist" Someone making minimum wage, who doesn't own private property(this is not the same as personal property) is NOT a capitalist. Of course, you can be poor and support capitalism, but why do that when you can choose not just self respect but also class solidarity?

Orban's regime isn't just a Trump ally--he's the model for Trump's regime. Orban created a hybrid regime with the appearance of democracy, rampant corruption, stealing of elections, and the absence of the rule of law. His loss would be a setback for the project of authoritarianism worldwide.

This is why I’m not worried when people say, ‘’But if we remove Trump, Vance will be worse!’’ No, he won’t. The reason is simple: he’s a sore loser. And MAGA won’t follow him. No cult lasts past its leaders, especially one this stupid.

"Humans won't work unless they're forced to" is a myth for stupid people. If you're paying attention, humanity loves to do the job... they just don't like to be exploited and abused just to survive, the 2 tools people THINK you need to inflict upon humans to make them work.

can't believe we're really getting the taxation of trade routes being in dispute *and* a blockade of deadly battleships

The Inflation Reduction Act never gets enough credit. Truly one of the most powerful pieces of legislation in my lifetime.

I guess I’ll play as well this #FinalPageFriday Here's one from a short script called Shadowboxing. #ScriptSky

Catholic Pope: no war and feed the poor Muslim mayor: feed the poor and no war! Plus treats for kids! Christian SecDef: bomb the shit out of them kids. And the poor, too. Fuck em, in Christ we pray amen.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

So... this takes a whole lot longer to climb out of than you might imagine. We've managed to keep things going for the time being—thanks to so many of you!—but we're definitely not out of the woods yet. Every subscription helps! Less than $2.50/month! www.brightwalldarkroom.com/subscribe/

What does ‘logical centrist’ even mean? In the US, being a centrist is pretty much like being right-wing in Europe. Mamdani’s or Bernie’s programs are pretty much center-left by the standards of most well-developed countries.

Happy 50th anniversary to “All the President’s Men” — a film that owes its existence to Redford, who bought the film rights, developed the script and cajoled a reluctant Woodward & Bernstein. I thought it was “a great character study,” he said later. But, for months, “they didn’t return my calls.”

Another reason why The Phantom Menace is — and always will be — my favorite Star Wars film.

George Lucas has really been vindicated in the past few years, because tell me that ain't exactly something Bezos (or Musk or Thiel) would pull, and we've all seen the state of Congress lately...

Students were told for a decade about how incredibly important free speech on campus was. And then it wasn't. What lessons did we teach students over the last year? If you are a student today, do you feel confident that the government, media and university will support your speech rights?

Centrists made the bed the fascists are lying in. Centrists dug the graves the fascists want to put us in. STOP LISTENING TO CENTRISTS.

Without the massive amounts of stolen creative work that allow them to actually do anything, "AI" models have no value. Without the "AI" models, all that creative work still has tremendous value.

Statham doing Statham once again? One ticket, please.

Sophie Thatcher with Winding Refn is a genuinely fascinating pairing. Looking forward to it.

Every single foreign policy development under Trump... Legacy media: "Trump has made an historic deal!" Legacy media, next day: "The deal has fallen apart."

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

The fact that republicans are getting away with everything and we don’t have much power to stop them is why we kept saying 2024 was an incredibly important election.

A whole civilization did die indeed

A movie couple who would definitely have a podcast

When you walk into a negotiation threatening to bomb a civilization back to the Stone Age and walk out of that negotiation having ceded the Strait of Hormuz and their nuclear enrichment program, do you think it went well?

Trump's whole strategy with Iran was to break the "rules" and kill their leaders. He assumed that would scare everyone else into submission. Instead Iran said, "No rules? OK, then we'll close the Strait and fling missiles at every oil facility within 2400 miles. How many Patriots you got left?"

As does our disregard of covid.

"If you remove him you get Vance." You're familiar with Donald J Trump's foreign policy where we remove a country's leaders one by one until we get to one we can do business with? No reason impeachment can't work the same way

I can’t believe that we’re on the brink of nuking Iran because a smart Black man in a tan suit once made fun of a reality tv host.

In the month of March alone the price of limes rose 63% The price of blueberries rose 44%. The price nectarines rose 36%. The price of grapes rose 32%. The price of raspberries rose 27%. All due primarily to the cost of oil rising as a result of the US-Israel war on Iran.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

77,302,580 people voted for this and I’m in no mood to forgive them or understand them or any of that kumbaya bullshit. Fuck you forever.

trump supporters are dumb and stupid people and you are better and smarter than every single of them

I forget who said that women should always be in charge of war, because men get too emotional about it, but somehow it’s been coming to mind recently.

i want to remind folks that while a third of Americans still support Trump, our history shows that 1/3 of citizens opposed leaving the monarchy in 1780s, 1/3 were good with slavery in 1860s, 1/3 opposed womens right to vote in 1900s, 1/3 opposed civil rights in 1960s.

I hate all of you fuckers who downplayed the horrors of a second Trump term.

A little louder for the ‘moderates’ in the back:

Also, redeeming oneself isn't about getting back into the limelight. You do the work, but you are not entitled to be famous ever again. In fact, it's better that you aren't. Less chance of hurting others if you're a normie.
