It’s worth remembering that Youngkin was endorsed by Serious People™️ as the better, more reasonable alternative to Trump. This is how Virginia Democrats are reacting to the damage of the “reasonable” GOP.

In the need of some spicy adult products? Want to support folks in Minneapolis? Buy them from our super ethical, trans-owned Smitten Kitten. They’ve not only become a hub for mutual aid and community ICE watch, they’ve basically turn their socials into a local news source.

"we do not need 'coaching' from the cuck chair" 💀

Same with DOGE — it’s so weird when people are Iike “gosh it failed to meet its goal of government efficiency” rather than “looks like its real goal was to steal data while breaking federal agencies and ending support for black and brown people abroad”

now that dems have a trifecta in VA, I hope Spanberger keeps charging ahead like this. no quarter. show everyone else how it's done.

i can’t let myself think about it too often or i’ll spiral but dammit we were so close to never having to give a shit what he said ever again

One of my great joys in life is how woke the Dog Rates guy turned out to be. youtu.be/lOUfrdP5Vmk?...

i really need yall to be as skeptical about supposed left-wing news as you are about right-wing news. if it's not a source you already know and trust, vet before you share. lotta ragebait purveyors out there.

a friend recently shared this with me and i'm obsessed — it's an MTV/VH1 simulator with almost 30,000 videos (organized by decade) along with special sections for things like 120 Minutes, Unplugged, Yo! MTV Raps, and Pop-Up Video (!!!) wantmymtv.vercel.app

JUST IN: Virginia's legislature just adopted a constitutional amendment that would end Virginia's rules that ban people from voting for life. Virginia currently is the only state that strips people of voting rights for life for any felony. Youngkin rolled back reforms. Now going to a referendum.

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

Reasons I’ll delete a post: a teensy typo, didn’t get enough likes, got too many likes, it was haunted, I was suddenly mad at it, vibes were off,

A big part of why the Right is furious at White women right now is because they're increasingly using their Whiteness as shield and a weapon and it's honestly fucking great.

most dems who want to actually be reelected should ignore this and thus make clear they aren’t a schumer ally

😒

Over the weekend, the White House and the Department of Homeland Security shared posts with a song, "We'll Have Our Home Again." I dug into the group that performed and popularized it. Its cofounder said his goal was to create "the seed of an eventual government." www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

“The move came just hours after the billionaire said he was was not aware of any ‘naked underage images’ made by Grok.” sure jan www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

the rest of us look at that meme of a north korean woman reporting propaganda as bad. karoline leavitt looked at it and was like “feh. amateur.”

There is no compromising with this regime, because regimes don't compromise. These people are fascists. Fight fascists always. No playing to their language or moved goalposts. No taking their statements as legitimate and reporting them. And then PROSECUTE THEM. Every last one of them.

Shame on every member of Congress who won't make this stop

I hear what you’re saying, Frey, you don’t have enough men to stop ICE. Sounds like a good reason to ask Walz to mobilize the National Guard.

They aren't specialists in violence they're just dicks the government gave badges to, don't mythologize being a thug because you're scared of loud noises

It whips that not only is this guy absolutely going to get reinstated with back pay thanks to UNIONS but he’s already made nearly $1mil in a GFM which means many, many people are now incentivized to scream at Trump that he’s a pedophile

bunch of ants broke into my kitchen and marched in a single file line across the room, into an open box of lucky charms. man. what a way to go

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE. Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.” /1

unsurprising that a trump toadie wouldn’t understand no means no

my “failure to see what’s been obvious for months” podcast has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my podcast

Gotta love the confidence of a cat to crawl onto your lap uninvited and straight up FALL ASLEEP. Like whatever you were doing next is so not important, trust me, I am so certain of it I’ve fallen into a profound deep sleep

I've mentioned this before, but one thing I've been closely watching for is when crypto people begin to distance themselves from Trump. November 2024 vs. January 2026

“It’s like half of y’all ain’t never seen Star Wars or a Disney movie. How do you not know which side to root on?”

Just picturing Walter Cronkite signing off, "And that's the way we'll generate maximum virality pretending it is."

Yikes. Bari Weiss’ wife might be even cringier than she is.

the schadenfreude is real. and absolutely delicious. (gift link)

American Federation of Teachers is (finally!) dumping X, and moving to Bluesky. Good for them!

saw a chart earlier showing cbs news has lost 20% of its audience after less than a week of having this dope at the helm. apparently the goal is to get everyone so tanked they don’t care.

I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻‍🍳 💋

since everyone loves a good orange cat story, i have one from this weekend 🧵

The Minnesota shooting case is now metastasizing unlike any i've ever seen. The successive resignations of heads of the crim section at CRD and 3 top career prosecutors in Minn -- who had hung in all this year n/w/stg multiple outrages-- means the Department is in open revolt in DC and the field.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

VAXXED?????

at least halfway into a box of wine at the time i’m sure
