“We prefer candidates who lose.”

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I’m happy they lost this round, but can’t escape feeling we didn’t fight as hard to stop the murder 20,000 children, needless death of 500,000, or the kidnapping and exile of our neighbors. www.impactcounter.com/dashboard

that seems not good. And maybe making #vinyl out of recycled water bottles isn’t the benevolent project it’s been touted as phys.org/news/2025-09...

Heartening to have a president with the courage to stand up for Mussolini and against anti-fascists

Mr. Free Speech who lost his shit in the regular when it was his side is only concerned with the optics here of the government threatening corporations and demanding censorship? Yes, Matt T is the spineless putz we all thought he was.

“We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.” — Charlie Kirk

Ignoring court orders and violating posse comitatus —not to mention trying to overthrow the government—is patriotic. Death of an online hate-speech bro is “…a direct assault on America,” according to Spencer Cox

these people really love traitors. (@nbcnews.com ‘Protesting’ is holding a sign and chanting. Breaking through a window to unlock a door so you can kill elected reps and stop an election certification is called something else.)

every time I go down a rabbit hole of ‘who designed that great site’ like this, or @hellgatenyc.com it turns out to be Partner & Partners. Unique, engaging, while remaining easy to read and good info architecture. https://partnerandpartners.com/

gotta love when the most powerful people in the party say, “Someone should really do something about this.”

@bennjordan.bsky.social I’ve been thinking about this video a lot and have come across some interesting solutions in the works. Love to discuss. youtu.be/aZ2czFuIYmQ

The “we only deport criminals “ party.

Bitter: We are likely living through a more dangerous time than the height of the arms race…and few seem to realize. Sweet: We’ve won against impossible odds before and will do it again. A great read. #nukesky

I wrote about @mariahblake.bsky.social eye-opening new book for the @nucleartimes.bsky.social It reveals how forever chemicals we live with today are another deadly byproduct of the atomic bomb. She leaves no doubt that the scientists and government were well aware of the danger they had unleashed.

I’m shocked to learn this was all a lie.

He spent two decades lying about this in Foreign Policy etc..

12 points! That’s a blowout

The digital backlash continues. #vinyl

All those tropes about US support for Israel being “unwavering” or “ironclad” means endorsing this. All those votes for Israel military aid means funding it.

Thanks @annehelen.bsky.social for reminding me of a better time. The good news is Matter will help you import from Pocket and they’ve made a beautiful app with a good mix of read-it-later and discovery. Readwise has good features too, but I find Matter more peaceful https://hq.getmatter.com/pocket

unreal that a guy who facilitated 10,000+ nursing home deaths to help out his donor is able to run, let alone in the lead.

“The last time the report was released, in 2018, using a different methodology, the Health Department identified a respiratory virus with pandemic potential as the city’s most severe threat” https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/16/flooding-health-risk-public-climate-change/

This is the only time the president should activate the military on U.S. soil.

Another “violent criminal”

Even the Israeli soldiers who have selected targets now admit this is genocide: “if there is a goal, it’s to try to get rid of Gaza’s population by any means.”

Trump is turning Newsom into a hero like he did with Carney in Canada, which single-handedly reversed a 30 point polling lead for conservatives. He’s a king maker for the opposition.

Trump really loves traitors

But I thought he LOVED the troops?

“Why did one photo of a burned child help end a war, while hundreds of clips showing burned Palestinian children can’t even provoke a ceasefire?” Exec. Director of the Institute for Palestine Studies-USA @jehadabusalim.bsky.social on the reaction to images from the Vietnam war vs. Gaza

Gotta say, I see “no daylight” between Trump on Gaza and Harris, Biden. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/world/middleeast/israel-new-invasion-of-gaza.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Excited for the forthcoming conspiracy: “Newsom has been executed by Trump for his many crimes against children, and replaced by Matthew Modine.”

just checking in to see if the Democrats learned anything from the last election…and… “She built on this message in an op-ed published on Friday by Fox News, invoking her status as New York’s “first mom governor” to pledge her commitment to protecting children.”

Case in point - a whole book about how the gov’t supported this vicious cycle “Attention, Shoppers! reveals how large discount retailers have successfully exploited a uniquely permissive regulatory landscape to create a shopper's paradise built on cheap labor and mass consumption.”

I understand that none of this is in good faith, but curious how those on the Left feel about Trump knee-capping big tech and cheap Temu, Shein, etc. imports. Aren’t we happy to see social not simply be nonstop drop-shipping scheme ads, and US consumers a dumping ground for cheap crap?

these guys love the constitution

In other news…

For a devoted Jesus fan like Pope Francis, dying is like going to Heaven.

Kind of hilarious that Trump is accidentally doing decolonization. He is so woke! Empires run massive trade deficits because they “import” (steal) resources, goods and labor from poorer countries. If he was a colonial Brit he’d be complaining that England runs a trade deficit with India, Kenya etc

Mahmoud Khalil: Columbia’s “singular concern has always been the vitality of its financial profile, not the safety of Jewish students. This is why Columbia was all too happy to embrace a superficial progressive agenda while still disregarding Palestine, & this is why it will soon turn on you, too.”

Omar El Akkad’s writing stopped me in my tracks. “It is generally the case that people are most zealously motivated by the worst plausible thing that could happen to them.” For some that’s death; for most of us it is being yelled at. #Gaza

ffs how many people died because of Cuomo playing favorites with his political donors and being a petty pos https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/28/cuomo-citi-field-mass-vaccine-de-blasio-00257896

I’m sure this headline will age well. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

CIA: Close your eyes and picture the Ark of the Covenant. Remote Viewer: Somewhere in the Middle East.

tl;dr: “Sure he tried to overthrow the government in 2020, but my taxes are getting cut!”

We live in a world where a woman remains in prison three years after her stay of execution due to her complete innocence of the charges. and the fact a now-indicted DA relied on dishonest doctor testimony and corrupt police. #FreeMelissa
