The last 4 elections where the winner had more than 480 electoral votes. Note that Reagan got only 50.7% of the vote in his "blowout" election of 1980. Trump got 46.1% in 2016 (compared to Hillary's 48.2%), and has never gotten a clear majority of the vote. The electoral college must be abolished.

These butal & inhumane attack will likely be completely burried in the algorithms & not even be in the media. Because unfortunately this is not the first time russia does this, and the world is now so desensitized it, it’s no longer considered news. I beg you, please do not stay silent.

In The One About the Blackbird, a young boy learns to play guitar from his grandfather. And there's one song in particular that they love… n.pr/49SMyrX

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

I keep thinking as an Irish-American about the fact of Liam Ramos being named “Liam.” A hundred years ago that would instantly identify you as Irish but today it’s just a generic name for an American boy. To name him Liam in the 2020s was to mark him as just another American boy.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

Dog Lore thread.

Situational Amnesia

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

OK, I guess it makes sense for Brady to narrate this, since he grew up a huge Niners fan. I don't like it, but then who else would be appropriate? Aaron Rodgers? youtu.be/bZH2KwRz36k?...

Oh no, Frankie!

A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate. Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards. With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43. Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Fucking 22-year-olds on here telling me that Pizzagate was real and the coded language about "cheese" really meant child rape. You were 12 in 2016! What the fuck are you going on about? bsky.app/profile/grav...

Maybe the real pedophile cabal was just the friends that Jeffrey made along the way.

🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! 🚨 One of our volunteers, Noah, a veteran who has been doing work as a medic in MN, was arrested and is being held without bail. Please call his reps using the call script!

Is this real? Please tell me this is real

We've just learned that the man in this video, Ian Austin, was among those arrested by federal officials. More info to come soon.

So weird that the guy they chose to direct the Melania Bribe-Umentary was a Me Too-canceled has been pictured with Epstein and another Epstein-backed child sex trafficker who also *killed himself* in prison So many coincidences!

These are the twelve year old girls in their circles some of them their children And people heard of this and voted to give it more power I don’t want an off ramp back I WANT VENGEANCE

American Carnage

That's right, and we're the strongest and greatest country in the history of the world.

How it feels reading the news and posts today

DUDE REMEMBER THIS LMAO. This is literally everything wrong with journalism wrapped neatly in one post. Nuzzi, Bowles, Weiss, and the fucking NYT sucking em all off. Pedos, pedo lovers, and pedo defenders.

Everyone to Bill Maher: Shut the fuck up yourself, asshole.

Everything she did on SCTV. Waiting for Guffman. A Mighty Wind. So many more.

Stunning words by Michael Dubois.

Times are tough. Prices are up. Luckily the uber-rich on Trump’s cabinet are here with some creative financial advice. Subscribe to zeteo.com to support unfiltered journalism.

🎧 listen this is heartbreaking 💔 @coldfishstix on TikTok for the whole track

People dying all over, including many great ones before their time, and yet the guy who eats McDonald's for breakfast, doesn't exercise, has god-knows-what going on with his hand, and is one step away from full-blown dementia continues to roll on.

For all the criticism of Walz On Here, he's actually saying and doing all the right things. He would have made a good VP.

This is all correct.

Huh. This entire administration is an Epstein Island afterparty.

the foreign descriptions of what is going on are hilarious and terrifying www.youtube.com/shorts/SfzuV...

Remember this? As with everything on the right, it's pure projection. The true Party of Death is the MAGA-fied Republican one which currently controls all three branches of government, and which the mainstream media considers to be the representantives of Real America.

At this point, the question is "who ISN'T in the Epstein Files?"

dear god: "plays like a gilded trash remake of Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest" www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ja...

Was not expecting to see Robin Leach in the Epstein files. 2026 continues to be full of surprises.

This thread ended up longer than expected, which probably says everything about how fast this is moving, and how important it is to stay up to date as things change. This is why we’ve launched a newsletter called Tracker to help you keep up with this story. Sign up: www.wired.com/newsletter/I...

A thread for those of you who have been in a coma for the past few months... If we ever have a nation of laws again, all of the people involved in this should be charged - with hate crimes, civil rights violations, murder, kidnapping, you name it. "ABOLISH ICE" is just a starting point.

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

2026 CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF INTO THE STRATOSPHERE.

Our entire Discourse - media, political, cultural, etc - is based on a core premise that both parties want to improve things, they just disagree on how to do it Trump II is proving that false, but people are not updating their priors as fast as our systems is being destroyed

Catherine O'Hara? Are you fucking kidding me? Fuck this year.

Fuck.

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

Maybe we can ask Thomas Chatterton Williams for his view.
