Any Catholic justice that rules to starve children should be excommunicated

@crockett.house.gov listening to you on MSNow. Johnson won’t swear her in until Ten-07 special election with @aftynbehn.bsky.social republican candidate Van Epps would take away Rep Grijalva’s vote. His intention is to hold the American people hostage until after that election.

It’s a long shot but just within the realm of possibility- support Aftyn!!!! This win would deny Little Mikey the R vote he needs to squash the House resolution to release the Epstein files. It’s why he’s keeping the House in recess.

Personally, I do things not because they’re easy, but because I incorrectly thought they’d be easy

Attn folks in Delaware, Nevada, New Hampshire, Maine, & Michigan! Your Dem Senators are also getting a LOT of pressure to cut a deal to end the shutdown- by ditching healthcare. Reach out & let them know healthcare must be fixed first! Names & phone numbers below.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

To right-wingers, all policy or political discussions are thinly veiled ways of saying "Us good, Them bad," so they don't *care" what the policy of the day is, they'll happily bang their silverware on their highchairs over it. Just tell them what to bang about!

Someone give Lex $2 million so they can launch a politics version of Teen Vogue. Do it now. No strings attached.

Every time some one says “everyone is twelve now” to me here is how it feels. Imagine a kid saying “6 7” to you. Now imagine it’s your fault

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads. These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

corruption is such a helpful lens for understanding so much of what is broken right now. all of these people actually need accountability. allowing them to act with impunity just lets them make all manner of bad decisions. we need to help them rediscover boundaries

Still waiting for this fucking technology to write the next great American novel instead of just defiling the memory of people to do racism or making Sonic the Hedgehog enjoy meth

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 72 of the last 84 days. Epstein Shutdown.

The thing that you wanna reinforce on a date is that you don’t serial kill A duster does not say that

I made a little tool to answer the trickiest question in American politics. pbump.net/who/

everyone with the power to keep this from happening is doing nothing to stop it even though they all know its coming

Have we always done this shtick where ceos can just say what they want and people accept it as True and Wise instead of a sales pitch? "Papa John says pizza most important meal for most families" okay who gives a shit

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

Republicans won’t come back to work because we can now force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files. Meanwhile, folks' insurance is skyrocketing because they refuse to extend healthcare tax credits. They’re putting Pedophiles before the American People.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

He seems to have literally gone mad with power, thinking he can just bluster the country into some kind of Fourth Reich with the power of screechy Twitter posts written with all the forced bombast that an insecure dweeb imagining himself as Goebbels can muster.

A central reason we're in this mess is that the final GOP budget is going to be full of ugly, deeply unpopular stuff - exploding deficits, destructive tariffs, cuts to health care/clear energy/food, supersizing ICE, tax cuts for billionaires - that Rs simply don't want to take responsibility for. 1/

We laugh at this shit -- I mean, how can you not? -- but it's serious: these guys want to infuse reactionary thinking into AI and then infuse AI into every nook & cranny of American life. They can't win the argument so they are trying to blunt-force their views onto us with money & power.

It cannot be stressed enough how much the people who run this country think cis white guys who respect women, keep their word, and follow the rules are dishonest traitors who sell out their brothers to lie for pussy.

Just because a thing does not harm you… doesn’t mean it’s harmless

Whiskey Pete summoned the top military brass from around the world to call them fat.

Hi! I borrowed $300m from the worst people in the world to buy your favourite thing! Now your favourite thing owes me $300m and sadly it looks like it can’t pay me back so I’ve taken it out back and shot it. Anyways, just wanted to ask… what’s your *second* favourite thing?

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

As femininity approaches personhood, a masculinity defined as the opposition to femininity becomes inchoate. If women are people, and men are the opposite of women, then what are men?

I’ve said this before but if you went back in time and told the Founders that the Supreme Court had become an all-powerful Catholic tribunal they’d have burned everything down and moved back to England

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

nixon going on laugh in and saying "by god, you go get those bastards and you do it tonight!" to an aide before turning to the camera and saying "oh, uhh. sock it. to me?"

"culture war" is a euphemism for fights picked by fascists

99% of top corporate execs do not have a theory of mind that enables them to think about the people who buy things - or work for them - as having any individual preferences, needs, or decision-making power, it's all just a bunch of little dials they think they can turn

Gotta love Penzeys. Time to stock up on fennel and rosemary.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Respectfully disagree: 1) in fact it is unusual for a democracy w/ this level of GDP to turn authoritarian & so quickly; 2) the weakness of both institutions (congress & courts) and individuals (Schumer etc) is shocking. Would take less than 10 people in congress or 2 SC justices to stop all this.

I’m in Spain but the S is silent

Don’t rush to bend your knee at any given moment because it will only empower them

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.
