CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?

#WomensHistoryMonth THREAD 🧵Professor, political activist, founder of a radio station + former member of the Young Lords Party AND the Black Panther Party Denise Oliver Velez is still militantly Black, still militantly proud + is still fighting today. Who is Denise Oliver-Velez? Glad you asked.

This is what I'll be focused on.

In October 2025 Platner told Prof. Nick Jacobs that the only reason he was running as a Democrat was to get access to Act Blue, so he could raise money. #mepolitics theconversation.com/graham-platn...

Quick Tip: "Don't speak ill of the dead" means dont demean, or spread lies, or speak malicious untruth about dead people, who cant defend themselves Accurately describing someone's life and legacy is not "speaking ill" It's the truth - which is self justifying in that it is the truth!

"I know that when certain powerful and blatant enemies of black people are shoveled, at last, into the ground I may feel a certain pity that they spent their lives so badly, but I certainly do not mourn their passing, nor, when I hear that they are ailing, do I pray for their recovery." Baldwin

The October Surprise seems to be Father Time.

Wow. Here we all were with death watch on McConnell and Lindsey just died. I hope you get everything that's coming to you, Lindsey. I hope you meet the exact God you politically manipulated people with and I hope he's mad. I also hope South Carolina can do a whole lot better than you.

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

When in trouble, just say "funded by AIPAC!"

AI is to information what Silly Putty is to newspapers. Copy, distort, and bend out of all recognizable shape.

friendly reminder that if you use the phrase 'democratic establishment' these are your peers

LOL what happened bro was your pro-rapey article too much for Medium?

Does Mediocrites want to add anything now?

Well, well, well, if it isn't another banger from Mediocrites (pronounced the Greek way).

That story about Daniel Moraff and Morris Katz trying to groom Oyster Boy for a 2028 presidential run instead of AOC is just a reminder how the left is a toxic old boy network that will never support a woman's presidential bid.

It occurs to me that it is not in Platner’s interest for the Democrats to win Maine. He wants Collins to win so he can say “I totally would’ve taken Maine for us if I hadn’t been stabbed in the back by the Zionists and HR ladies.” (Though that calculation may change if more accusations come out.)

*meredith brooks voice* im a mitch im mcconnell i help trump comma donald ive a turtle for a head im probably really dead

Black people are not your ops! Anyone telling you this coded or not doesn’t want the best for you and this country we all live in.

If you grew up when I grew up, Total Eclipse of the Heart is deep in your bones. NY Times obit says it danced “on the edge of camp.” No it was OVER the edge. That was the point. RIP Bonnie Tyler. m.youtube.com/watch?v=lcOx...

I miss the Car Talk guys. I need to hear about Benjamin Not-yet-you-yahoo one more time.

You didn’t care that almost the entirety of his unit that served with him never spoke out for him, or that he said a veteran deserved to die, or that he signed up voluntarily for Abu Ghraib patrols, or rumors of misconduct in Iraq & other persistent potential oppo that’s actually from Collins…

Sexual assault IS political. Blaming rape victims for being raped IS political. Those things ARE his politics. Americans treating rape and misogyny as private matters, separate from a man's politics, is literally how we got Trump. Terrorizing women, sexually and otherwise, is political.

This whole Graham Platner situation could have been avoided if only racism and antisemitism were red lines for leftist white folks. But they rarely ever are.

🧵I’d rather spend my weekends doing something else than post about Nigel Farage’s murky finances, but his behaviour poses such a threat to our democratic norms that I wanted to flag a number of points in the public interest.

Every American needs to watch this:

David Duke is, ironically, a great divining rod for the worst people on the Left. He figured Tulsi Gabbard out YEARS before Bernie Sanders did, somehow. This was 24 November 2016.

This is such a glaring truth that it is almost poetry.

Like, I thought y'all wanted "fighters". Well, this is what fighting looks like. It's ugly and it gets people hurt.

You explain it Mike. You’re in our mentions pretending to be confused & demanding we explain YOUR point to you? How does this make sense to you? I mean like when you jumped in a thread with a bunch of Black Folks pretending to be obtuse what were your expectations? Soooo…tell us why it happened

Somebody should tell the DSA the base of the Democratic Party is not transferable property. They keep saying going to take over the party, so they should know we don't just get passed over to them like kids in a custody battle.

Takes no one cares about: The Sanford Townsend Band is wildly underrated.

I disagree with her take because I think they're all part of the same problem. 1/ Her take: Worse than identity, it's lack of ideological conformity. Me: They're inseparable. www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth...

Sprinkle this liberally over all tankie statements.

Tankies say it because they're privileged assholes who make things worse.

Shout it for the cheap seats. These centimeter-deep thinkers are going to purity test us right out of democracy.

Hey, Jolene, the VRA was codified. Did that stop the court from gutting it?

NYC is deep blue, so DSA-style candidates can win here. And it was undoubtedly a great night for Mamdani. The real test, though, is whether that politics can win swing districts and help Democrats get to 218 seats.
