This thread has me fucking howling, 10/10 content

A robust, labor-focused left in 2026 wouldn't be a bulked up white man with a hammer and sickle, it would be a pharmacy technician in Kansas, or a nurse in New York City. Both of whom have been at the center of nasty union fights in recent times.

Made a post that got fairly big attention and ended up deleting it. Idk how big accounts deal with that shit, hard pass

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent goats I have met during walks in the British countryside. You will find the all-important captions to each photo in the alt text.

Graham Platner trying to explain away his behavior as *living a regular life* really evokes *locker room talk* for me. The normalization of men’s abuse of women has to stop. Abusing women is not regular or normal or in any way okay. I hope this gets called out by lots and lots of people.

This is the most recent in a series of escalating incidents. On at least three additional occasions in the last two weeks, National Guard soldiers have handcuffed and detained people in DC, in some cases with absolutely no cause: bsky.app/profile/free...

The footage shows three male National Guard soldiers approach a woman as she sits alone on a bench outside her home near Truxton Circle. As she attempts to walk back inside, the soldiers surround her and block her from leaving. They then throw her to the ground and handcuff her as she screams.

WATCH: New footage from a home security camera in shows National Guard soldiers tackle a woman to the ground, put her in handcuffs, and detain her seemingly without any justification or provocation🧵

So it does in fact seem that a willingness to excuse a nazi tattoo eventually involves excusing other abhorrent behavior as well!

If the administration has money in the budget for 600 ADDITIONAL cops, it has $100 million to adequately fund our public libraries. You should sign up to testify to this with us next Wed: bit.ly/June10Testify

Bullshit take that removes agency from men for both good and bad actions, and women don't need to be saddled with "civilizing" men

Here are the 117 Democrats who voted with Republicans against Rashida Tlaib's Lebanon war powers resolution. Thomas Massie was the one Republican to join 91 Democrats — who all bucked party leadership — in voting for it.

The left CANNOT afford to get left behind on the new Transformers DinoBots series. Shut up man

This should be recognized for what it is, which is another high pressure affinity group based sales pitch, it has nothing to do with "the left" whatsoever. It's slimy and not a little coercive. People making it are dupes and if not dupes then they are definitely not your friend

The one that really grinds my gears lately is "the left CANNOT afford to be left behind on this." Left behind on what. At least come up with a fake problem to pretend to be solving. What is "the left" losing out on here. Reading its own email?

There's no "right time" to raise salient issues in politics. You just have raise them and fight to win. There is no conductor to decide which order to bring up issues.

Good example of a headline that is literally just untrue and amounts to malpractice— there is no "seeing" settlements in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank as illegal, they are factually illegal. UNSCR 2334 and the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice from July 2024 say so.

New video out now! I break down the rising reality tv stars in the GOP and recount my favorite dumb Spencer Pratt moment. youtu.be/shgnTyqHokA

TURNS OUT, the foxpost generator operator that created that is now a trans woman!

It's a little known fact that when using the advanced weather rules and especially wind in Battletech, it is customary to comment "It fucken wimdy" before applying the appropriate modifiers, as demonstrated by the Fox Patrol below.

some men aren't even NOTICING the story is about classic domestic abuse, that's how little they care about women

Federal immigration agents are still swamping Chicagoland. Sightings in multiple city neighborhoods and in the suburbs today, with reports of at least three people being taken. "ICE is everywhere," the immigrant advocacy/rapid response group Hijos de Migrantes posted in an alert earlier today.

Speaking from a veteran's perspective, this actually all tracks pretty well

Oregon GOP governor candidate Christine Drazan was hanging out with Proud Boy Leader Enrique Tarrio's girlfriend today. That's a pretty close connection to the far-right violent gang.

I think it's bad that the House Democratic Leader can't just unequivocally condemn a racist smear from a racist newspaper against an army combat medic veteran who just won a primary to join his caucus next year.

Sama Safi is a 20-year old American citizen and honor student at Birzeit University who was kidnapped by Israeli soldiers from her family’s home on June 2nd at 3 AM. She is being illegally held in Israel's notoriously unsafe prisons, known for human rights abuses. Her family cannot contact her.

This is what I've been saying from the beginning! A governor is not a powerless individual, there are many levers to pull

The number of our brave neighbors on strike inside concentration camps across the US is rising. @stateline.org is reporting that protests have now erupted in at least four states — in New Jersey, California, Michigan and Pennsylvania. 🧵…

Happy Pride! Every day for Pride 2026, I will be highlighting a Black, Brown, or Indigenous queer person, because we're not whitewashing Pride this year. Today is Y.L. al-Sheikh, a trans Palestinian political writer and activist On Here as @diplomatofnight.com.

are you just going to do this for every generation

june the fourth be with you

Wow this is both truly stupid and incredibly craven of Mikie Sherrill to do

I waited a while to write this one. The time finally felt right.

Time to Primary Glusenkamp Perez and get a real Democrat representing Vancouver!

However much you hate centrists, it's not enough.

China 'doing something' with my data would involve a land invasion in California, years of attrition warfare across the western 2/3rds of North America, and pretending nukes don't exist. America 'doing something' with my data involves bell peppers costing $10/lbs. and being arrested for posting.

"evil billionaires are using up water resources for dumb animations" is a story normies can understand. democrats can either get on this train or be run over it but it has left the station

I think people think of skepticism as cynicism because they think cynics want to be right about their skepticism. Just speaking for my cynical ass, but I want nothing more than to be wrong. I want the Dems to be the fighters their loyalists think they are because my options are extremely limited.

I hear people on Twitter are slamming the Mayor for backtracking on his promise to hold the police headcount flat. Here not so much. This too says something about who is on here.

This is fucking awful and everyone that is remotely on the left should be criticizing this. Why the fuck is Mamdani giving more money to NYPD?

people say they want police so they can keep the peace but really what they want is for the police to keep order, and those are very different things. keeping order is an inherently violent act even if its just cops meandering in circles.

215-208 It passed! Cheer erupt in the House chamber.

Today, you might see a TV ad starring something that... kind of looks like me. My opponent's super PAC is using an AI deepfake of me to mislead voters. They can't win with the truth - so they're resorting to lies. It's disgusting. Minnesotans deserve better.

This is so good and so important.

Like it is a cool dunk, but “I don’t want my kids to be gay or marry immigrants” is a fascist position.
