Jesus Christ this is the most chilling thing I've read in ages. The "new understanding of truth" described here is not new in any way, it is basically a return to pre-literate dark ages & the inevitable result is going to be fascism.

Good thread here

Gov. Gavin Newsom has tried to cast himself as one of Trump’s biggest foils. His voting record tells a different story.

The fact that AOC doesn't really have any enemies among congressional Democrats will make it easier for her to get them to go along with this. My big not based on data predilection for the 2028 primary is that she's going to get an unusual amount of endorsement from incumbent house Dems.

Please let Congress make money trading on inside info while Americans struggle y’all

the murder of juniper blessing is a horrifying reminder of the campaign of violence being waged by the most powerful against the vulnerable and the environment of hate being encouraged on all sides of the political spectrum

What’s the point of electing democrats who do shit like this

Gavin Newsom is a celebrity wannabe. He likes the attention, not helping people.

Jared Polis is so completely full of shit. His commutation of Tina Peters' sentence has nothing to do with freedom of speech. What a joke. What an insult to the law-abiding citizens of Colorado. What an assault on free and fair elections. An embarrassing profile in cowardice.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

This mass courtship event typically marks the beginning of Waymo mating season, and the general public is advised to avoid approaching them or their young and maintaining a safe distance at all times as they can get even more unpredictable in their behaviour towards humans at this time

Whoa.

here again we see this idea that american citizens do not have rights apart from what their states provide.

I have been told several times by NYT reporters that they *include this crediting* in drafts and have it removed by editors.

Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states. Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people. No court or politician can change either of those realities.

1776 -- 1950s: Many Americans were comfortable with being openly racist. 1960s -- 2016 Many Americans became increasingly uncomfortable with being openly racist. 2016 --2026 Many Americans went back to being increasingly comfortable with being openly racist.

Every word out of this mans mouth is a lie and anyone who believes him shouldn't be allowed to cross the street without a chaperone

The Trump administration has taken more benefits away from the American people in a handful of days than any amount of undocumented people have in the history of this nation. Give me a break.

This is a big reason why I side-eye people who still defend the NYT and it has zippo to do with their sanewashing of Trump or love of misleading heds. They straight up steal other reporters hard work (reporters you follow!) and you should care about that. They do it all the time.

Connect the dots.

None of this would be happening right now if Donald Trump had gone to prison for January 6th like he should have

I wish someone would corner these chuds on "only when the sun shines or the wind blows." It's spectacularly embarrassing that the ENERGY secretary doesn't know how storage batteries work.

Absolutely fuck you, Amazon. When I bought this device there was no mention of my purchase being time limited at your discretion. It does not require software updates, so the only "support" necessary is that kindle books are available in a format that can be sent to it. This shouldn't be legal.

People don't seem to get it: you're not shaming them with these words. Oh no, they're gonna be seen as the party of racism and white supremacy? THAT IS THE GOAL. They're cheering, not secretly ashamed. Ffs.

This SCOTUS is in coup mode.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Conservatives have spent 50 years telling women to close their legs and take responsibility if they can't afford to have kids, and now none of us can afford to have kids and they just can't believe we aren't doing it anyway.

This HUD chode

So the Republican Supermajority breaks the law and violates the constitution to strip Memphis of representation — then Speaker Sexton strips Dems of committee assignments for daring to protest. Welcome to Tennessee.

virgnia foxx is one of those low key members who has been abjectly horrible her entire time in office. a total degenerate.

“My childhood home is being taken by @GeorgiaPower to supply power to a new data center…” 🤔 They are now seizing people’s homes in Georgia via eminent domain to build power lines for a $17 billion data center. One has been forced into Utah. And xAI in Memphis. And on and on.

Rep. @votegloriaj.bsky.social does not seem all that broken up about Speaker Sexton stripping committee assignments from her and other Dems for protesting their (illegal) special session that stripped representation from majority-Black Memphis

Ending Reconstruction before hanging every Confederate was a mistake

😕

"The same Supreme Court that told Black voters in Alabama and Texas that they’d have to live with illegal maps because a primary was four months away had no problem blowing up an ongoing election in Louisiana."

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

The Republican appointees may claim to be apolitical, but they keep putting their foot on the gas to accelerate their party’s advantage, destroying whatever credibility the court still maintained in the process.

🔥MUST-WATCH: “You’re all cowards. I do not forgive you. Thank you for teaching me no one will stand up for me besides myself.” The 🦸🏻‍♀️student Keith Ervin called “hot” shows the WASHINGTON COUNTY school board 🐔 what real leadership looks like. emails: www.wcde.org/page/school-...

Every presidential photo now feels like a side quest where Americans zoom in looking for hidden loot clues.

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

Yep. This is the best way to understand the events of the past couple weeks. They have to dispense with the artifice of principle, because the risks of Dems winning and coming to power bent on accountability are simply too great. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

I love how when Democrats propose a relatively boring and novel legal theory, corporate media frames it as a FURIOUS AND DESPERATE FAR-FETCHED BANK SHOT, but when Trump tries some crazy shit like overturning birthright citizenship, it's something to consider seriously.
