As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Here are the Senators who voted to criminalize hemp products:

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them. I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

Let me get this right… a sufficient number Senate Democrats appear to be willing to reopen government to alleviate air travel for upper & upper-middle income people at the expense of access to healthcare for lower income people. Yes?

I both hope the AI bubble will burst and dread what it will do to the economy/my 401k.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

If you are a Democratic senator watching these results and the lesson you take is "I should cave and help Republicans reopen the government for nothing more than a promise written on toilet paper" then you shouldn't be in the Senate anymore

There are more of us than there are of them.

why is this mayoral election different than all other mayoral elections? in all other mayoral elections, we get to see andrew cuomo lose but once. but in this mayoral elections, we get to see him lose *twice*.

this genuinely feels like a moment history books will look back on where the Democratic Party was forced to either fix its hearts or die

In local politics news, the Our Revolution slate seems to have swept city council, school committee, and we have a new charter! Yay! Get fucked, Clerkin!

Gut party leadership immediately, they do not win elections and they don't want to.

I simply don’t understand the minds of people like Bari Weiss how fucked up do you have to be to spend all your time pretending you’re a Real Journalist and then you get put in charge of a huge media outlet and immediately do propaganda yeah, yeah, the hypocrisy is the point, but fucking hell

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts. Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue. The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point. They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

C'mon! It's supposed to be used to help people! Why?!?

"Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest." Others include Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth.

welcome to the American Troubles.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown. Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Hey, person running for school board in my town: is there a reason your promo ruler is not 12" long? Also, no metric side?

Gee, I can’t imagine why…

Now there's an idea for next year! i.redd.it/fop4mailh5xf...

How about a press conference made up of Democratic leadership near the White House with the demolished East Wing in the background, talking about the government shutdown and Trump's warped priorities and demolition of public goods, including not just the East Wing but health care and so much else?

The media are lying to you again

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing. Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

Anyone in Boston an immigration lawyer or know one who can help this woman? Her husband is detained at Logan over a dismissed misdemeanor from 2017. He’s a legal resident of the US. She just asked for help an hour ago.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

So many people’s liberalism ends at water’s edge. Always shocking when people who would call out such abuses in the US will give Israel a pass.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Pretty happy with how this tie dye turned out 😃

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Holy shit scorched earth motherfucker

TONIGHT! YES there IS a Charlie Kirk vigil happening in Boston today and YES anarchists will be there being very loud

As a society, the one thing we were totally unprepared for was annoying leftists being right.

Folks, I don’t know what end is up right now.

reading a book about china. apparently the government there has sent federal forces into cities, taken shares of major private enterprises, slapped tariffs on industries, and pressured media outlets to fire people they politically disagreed with. didn’t know this.

Somerville Mayor Unofficial Results: Incumbent Mayor Katjana Ballantyne has been OUSTED, finishing 3rd at 23%. The November General Election will be City Councilor Jake Wilson (moderate) at 42% and Socialist  City Councilor Willie Burnley Jr at 34%.
