my guess is that twitter engineers stumble into a simple hotfix that threatens to destroy the entire MAGA grifter economy requiring the boss to swoop in and save them maybe once a month on average

THEY ARE OPTIMIZING THE PRESIDENTIAL DAILY BRIEF FOR ENGAGEMENT

When twitter was perceived as liberal it was a bubble and people should not take it seriously. But now that it's a cesspool of right-wing propaganda it's the Soul of America and the libs ignore it at their peril

I'm still on my Duggar kick, reading about how Michelle Duggar did robo calls about how trans women would be bathroom predators while knowing her son(s) were predators, and it makes me wonder how much their cult just takes assaults as a given. Their whole lives are so sexually charged and gross.

Oh so it was about personal enrichment all along. The “it’s complicated” contingent in shambles.

There is no separating the art from the artist when the artist is still alive and is actively hurting people.

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

Huge swing across markets since Trump's Truth Social post claiming Iran has offered a "present" to the US. SPY +1% after-hours, crude getting smoked and EMFX ripping.

same administration won't raise a finger to hand out water during natural disasters. but you make middle class americans wait in line? boy you better bring your tacticool thugs with guns and vests to hand out water, or karen might vote you out

Transes, prepare yourselves. Allies- hey, how bout y'all do the work of badmouthing everyone who likes it for us; we're tired

Uncanny. The only way to tell them apart is that Patrick Bateman has killed fewer homeless people

Fascism feeds off rot and corruption and takes over parts of liberal democracy as it dies off. ICE in airports is an escalation of the efforts to extend the presence of fascist violence and oppression into every aspect of our lives. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/inescapabl...

the overlap between people on bluesky who spend half the day slap fighting with leftists in their mentions, and those who spend the other half slap fighting with literal nazis on twitter O

because every 88 year old is taking the job of someone who needs the experience and recognition, and will statistically live to see the consequences of their own actions. (this dude's just a stancilite, block and ignore; useful idiot pulling the overton window shut on the left)

when i say i want fighters, i want someone who knows what the fuck they're about. this dude is a moron who just says shit that he thinks will get him likes; if the winds change this dude would veto minimum wage boosts, public transpo, and... like the the Get Immigrant Children Out of Jail Act

The experts are not, in fact, “split” on whether what Israel was doing in Gaza is genocide. They have overwhelming stated that it IS genocide. Intent is well established by the words of the Israeli leaders themselves, among other things, and clearly outlined in the case brought before the ICJ.

The "hollowing out the civil service" program is moving to NASA

Wow, Ilya Shapiro is a disgusting gutter racist piece of shit.

INBOX: It took exactly twenty days for California Gov. Gavin Newsom to walk back his comments describing Israel as an "apartheid" state, a position held by the experts working for the United Nations, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

They are trying to frame this as a contradiction but it's totally consistent. Genocide is bad and so is antisemitism! This entire line of attack on Mamdani requires pretending to have the mind of a child

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

It's the same exact strategy they used in 2020 with all the "Hunter Biden laptop!" stuff. Instead of focusing on something specific that was legitimately news (by all means, report on Hunter trying to use his connections to Joe for personal gain!), they just kept publishing anything and everything.

Palestinians struggle as Gaza endures severe fuel and gas shortages https://aje.news/hvtdl1

Over 561,000 people (including those already living in the US for decades) are now blocked from obtaining legal permanent residence. Work permits, green cards, status adjustments: all frozen with no statutory authority cited.

Burn down DHS. They're just stealing from immigrants while revoking legal status and challenging birthright citizenship so they can deport them. It's ethnic cleansing. We'll look back in 20 years and will have a tough time finding people who supported it. (They won't admit it.)

This video should follow every single person on stage around for the rest of the natural lives. It should be an embarrassment and an outrage to be associated with them, and in lieu of memorial or funeral, we should just play this video one last time. This is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen.

i spend a meaningful amount of my week sorting recycling and composting and shit, and like a single second of this fire nullifies a lifetime of me doing that

trump is touching what i've believed to be a hidden third rail: never fuck with air travel. middle class whites HATE to be inconvenienced. they can afford $5/gallon gas, and even expensive plane tickets, but THEY WILL NOT TOLERATE waiting in line for hours to fly.

Got this far. Jesus. It's literally, openly pro-concentration camp.

Alito strongly implied that vote-by-mail, as practiced in most of the country today, is highly susceptible to fraud. Gorsuch and Thomas leaned in that direction as well. Barrett and Roberts are harder to read.

continuing to say: this path is a beeline to drone strikes on protestors

you don't control other people. focus on yourself.

chicago police misconduct payouts are 1800 percent of our library budget 😂😭

let's get used to ICE everywhere as the universal republican paramilitary as libs with no skin in the game cheer it on. when they start sending ICE to polling places, it'll be "they're just checking IDs! nothing worrying or anything" from centrists who will then be confused by results

It is happening here.

The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover. The state capture of network television is almost complete.

ICE really going after the hardened criminals, huh? Guillotines, now

what are we doing here

Guillotines

Post-pandemic, we (very briefly) had a strong labor market for early-20s workers, for the first time since the 1990s. People, including Gen-Z, said they *hated* this, because this tight labor market raised prices on food delivery, ubers, fast food and other labor intensive, low-skill work.

it's comforting and easy to financialize markets to talk about these topics in a detached and seemingly rational manner but the world's ability to feed billions of people is predicated on a stable supply of Nitrogen adjuncts. It's genocidal via 2nd and 3rd order impacts

The legacy of Mueller is that if you do diligent methodical careful work on a damning report, trusting to our institutions to do the right thing, damned liars will just tell damned lies about your work and the lies will stand, because institutions won't confront power and nobody does the reading.

175 children and teachers in their school. A TRIPLE TAP. Bloody backpacks, severed arms, books on how to read charred and burned. Abolish the United States military. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Mi...

I'm not here to argue over whether the initial comment crossed the line. I'm just here to point out that any person calling themselves Mueller, They Anything would be harassed for that shit because it is 2026. This pisses me off so much. Performative bullshit. It is insulting.

Isn’t it a little early in the day to kickstart today’s anti-leftist internet hate machine? Please, let’s spend all Sunday shitting on leftists in another “wow so naive, I am really the correct, smart one, not people to my left or my right. I provide no evidence.”

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Had to stop the Talarico Bulwark interview. I simply cannot listen to a bunch of white dudes complain about how bad Dems treat white Christians for 45 minutes. And yes, stuff like that is basically all they discussed. Is this what Texans want? Governing from the left but rhetoric like Rush Limbaugh?

So... those death panels we were warned about...

I wonder if/when we’ll get to talk about the cryptofascist pipelines that pulled leftists into the conspiratorial far-right via antivax contrarianism in 2021 and how those pipelines are still active today. Some are even the same outlets/people!

a very normal thing to say to somebody who literally just quoted wikipedia to you to help you understand that not everyone defines zionism the same. man, i just want people to live together peacefully, and not be jerks to each other. and people be misreading people and flying into a rage
