One of the sharpest and most persistent critics of Tesla's business fundamentals had his Twitter account locked out on the day of the shareholder vote... 🤔

Elon's brain must absolutely cooked if he can get Chotinered by Joe fucking Rogan lol

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

as investor Ross Gerber noted, at Tesla's current share price, giving Musk $1 trillion of stock over 10 years = $274 million a day

Actually progressive fighters will take away a mandate to keep fighting and leading. The Chuck Schumers of the world will take it as a sign to keep doing nothing and let the Republicans footgun themselves so the pendulum swings back. The Schumers need to go. They're enablers at this point.

just started having recency bias and i love it. easily the best bias

Yes, blue states like... *checks notes*... Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, and Mississippi. Those are blue now, apparently.

MRW it's 75° out in November as I'm taking my dog for her walk

I'm sure there will be pieces coming from the likes of Yglesias, Klein, Douthat etc about how the GOP obviously needs to moderate and move to the center... Right...RIGHT?

Man alive. The contrast between the courage of voters and the absolute cowardice of Democratic leadership is just undeniable and the story of the moment. The question is which will win out in the end and that question just got a whole lot louder.

American left-wing patriotism is Jewish guys signing Christian anti-slavery hymns about the first Muslim mayor of New York and I think that’s beautiful

One kind of sad thing about all the hate rn is that Zohran Mamdani is actually living the classic American dream story. It's what they've told us the United States is all about all our lives. They're the ones who're changing the rules to serve themselves, and we don't have to go along with it.

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*.

He won with joy and strong principles. Even when they used who he was as an attack, he smiled and stood for what he knew was right. This is the way.

Apologies to my followers for libbing out 😂 Very pleased to see Trumpists eating shit literally everywhere. Fuck them all.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

new NoVA winemom yard sign just dropped In This House We Believe: -Black Lives Matter -No Human Is Illegal -Women's Rights Are Human Rights -Science Is Real -[redacted due to 18 U.S. Code § 871] -Love Is Love

Putting everything else aside, I cannot tell you how much it irrationally pisses me off that people post this stuff when Mamdani is Shi'a. GOD DAMMIT THE ISLAMIC STATE IS FUCKING SUNNI

Video from a passenger on another plane that captured the explosion of the plane at Louisville (confirmed to be UPS). This footage has been played on WAVE-TV multiple times. #louisville #airplanecrash #ups #sdf

UPS Flight 2976, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo aircraft operated by UPS Airlines, crashed shortly after takeoff from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport in Kentucky, USA. Before the crash, flames were visible on the aircraft’s left wing. #USA #Kentucky #UPS #PlaneCrash

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

We’ve gotten numb to it but Trump threatening NYC voters with federal funding to vote a certain way is the kind of shit that should get him unanimously impeached today. Insane fascist bullshit.

I do think it’s noteworthy that when these guys are inventing party planks that don’t exist they always go to anti-racism as the mockworthy initiative

I would very much like a journalist to ask Bondi: "Donald Trump's attorneys argued before Judge Cannon that these statutes were unconstitutional when Jack Smith was appointed. Cannon agreed. So was Jack Smith's appointment constitutional or is Lindsey Halligan's appointment unconstitutional too?"

Need to fire up a Foodraiser thread soon, but the Costco order is in Food comes out to $129,606.45 this year, up +2.28% YoY If you're willing to be one of our per-donor matchers, please let me know!

It's so refreshing to see someone actually confronting the realities of nonvoting, who non-voters are and what actually motivates them, and attempting to address those concerns directly, and not turning into a self-serving, dishonest morality play.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work. Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released with NO CHARGE. A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”. You decide…

I really am just working from the basic premise of political science that public opinion isn’t just measurable — you can and should CREATE it.

I'm not Jewish. But growing up in NYC has taught me pretty acutely that Jewish people are not a monolith. And watching Jewish identity flattened to "people who love Israel more than they hate sexual assault" this election cycle has been wild.

I wish the history of Jewish/Black solidarity was more widely known and discussed. There are so many great stories like this where Jews refused to align themselves with racism, often because of their own experiences of antisemitism.

"Everyone is 12 now" theory prevails. I regret to inform you this is actually real: www.whitehouse.gov/mysafespace/

The people at @nytimes.com helped me make this video about sexism www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

i want a ban on tv commercials that feature ringing doorbells just open the door and get into the story faster, please, and stop upsetting my dog

Totally! And lucky for them, definitely the sort of thing that's best and easiest to do: 1. In the midst of an extended shutdown of the government 2. While sending your members home for six weeks straight I feel very full of confidence in this plan.

I love bluesky just a bunch of silly lil bees making silly lil bee jokes and then a bigot rolls in AND NOW WE ARE ANGRY LIL BEES 😡😡😡 and the whole hive rears up and goes wild and stings and blocks and dunks until there's nothing left of the bigot and then silly little bees buzz buzz buzz 🤗

It's the night for my favorite Abed autistic-coded moment from Community. youtu.be/Zgz8L9D89aI

ths is how im gonna look every time someone dislikes one of my posts

The Clinton-era Democrats were just as hierarchy based as the Republicans. What differentiated the Dems was a sense of benevolence, versus the sadism of the GOP. The rising equity movement rejects that hierarchy. They insist on being received as our betters, and so that benevolence melts into spite.

If you're in #WNC and depending on SNAP, we're giving out free produce every Monday and Thursday at our downtown Burnsville farm until we run out of food. Please email us at [email protected] to reserve a bag.

It really is amazing that when a popular young Democratic politician who wants to solve real problems for people beats an old-guard institutionalist Democrat in a primary, the institutionalist Democrat just stays in the race and basically runs as a Republican.

These seem to be the three legs to the Trump regime's political stool, if you consider Trump, Vought, and Miller as the three centers of power: Corruption (Trump) Extreme conservative ideology (Vought) Fascism (Miller)

This struck me as one of the best instances I've seen of a Dem politician—in this case, @joeneguse.bsky.social—taking a badly-framed press question & both *calling it out* as a badly-framed question & answering it with passion & smarts. bsky.app/profile/cory...

About fucking time

Imagine thinking your side has to be the worst Nazis to have a Nazi problem "Compared to what" — seriously? Compared to no Nazi problem, which is a pretty low fuckin bar
