Watching Fox, MSNBC, CNN, and BBC America in a 2x2 grid is eye-opening. Its a different reality dominated by hourly trans panic, the Trump shooter's "they/them" Deviant Art profile, endless military "tribute" stories, and of course super-cuts of Trump being edgy. Even expecting it, I was surprised.

Love the idea that the phrase “conspiracy theorist” covers both someone who believes the USA is about to destabilize another mildly socialist country for its own profit, and people who talk about Jewish space lasers. Our culture is in a great place.

CIA not wasting any time in Mexico. Drones and special ops in the north, funding another fake color revolution in CDMX, carrier group close by. Just so happens to another country with the audacity to nationalize resources and work for the people.

“Milk of the Madonna” by the Deftones seems like it would incredibly fun to play on the drums. Such a good groove. Not surprised Abe has the first writing credit on the song.

Dems, smugly: "well the Democratic Party is a big tent with a lot of views" Translation: "ACTUALLY, it's better you go without healthcare than for us to do the basics and enforce a party platform."

Dems can't even organize themselves sufficiently to say Republicans are "defunding healthcare".

ABOLISH DEMOCRATS

That those 8 Dems who voted Yes aren’t vulnerable to being primaried is classic Democrat Revolving Villian. They provide cover for the rest of the party to, like Kathy Hochul, fall in and claim they were pro-shutdown the whole time, preventing any mass retribution from the base.

This country isn’t cooked because shit like this ACA capitulation happened, we’re cooked because there’s absolutely no immediate democratic recourse built into our system. Our only option is to crash, burn, rebuild.

The biggest problem is that these politicians don’t genuinely fear the people or any consequences at all.

Revolving cast of Democrat villains strikes again. Of the 8 who voted to end the shutdown and affordable healthcare, none are facing reelection in the next cycle and 2 are retiring. Remember, we’re told we NEED these closet republicans in the party. Don’t you love the big tent?!

Surprised by Dems? In your 20’s and 30’s? I’ve watched Dems do this exact shit since the early 90’s. They’d rather lose every election than move even an inch to the left and risk their donor bucks.

We’ll see which Dems cave, and I’d love to see how much they each receive from the health insurance lobby.

Seems like Dems are using all the momentum from winning this week to extract…a republican ~promise~ to hold a vote on ACA subsidies. WOW. Great job guys. A promise to think about it.

Don’t ever take for granted the ability to poop regularly. Constipated is a miserable way to live.

dora.nyc this is OUTSTANDING. super navigatable directory for food distros, resources. and easy to remember because it’s like the explorer but also— directory of resources & aid

"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." — Malcolm X

Literally could be a boom time for the US but we refuse to adopt a government level economy planning an investments bc omg communism.

Kinda wish Putin were as big a troll as Trump and congratulated Zohran on bringing communism to the USA. The crash outs would be epic.

Will be stealing a stack of these New York Post Zohran announcement issues tomorrow morning. Framed and on a wall in the apartment by the afternoon.

A centrist Dem would say something about bygones, but Zohran didn’t choose the coward’s route bc no one should tolerate Cuomo’s many racist attacks. Fuck that man forever. Do not forgive. Do not forget.

Zohran results by borough highlight that without that bum ass home of cops and crystal meth, Staten Island, he absolutely SMOKED Cuomo. Bronx: +11% Brooklyn: +19% Manhattan: +9% Queens: +5% Staten Island: -33% (50k votes)

@zeteo.com and @joyannreid.bsky.social gotta step up their tech in the age of streaming bc Hasans got stable 4K and yall got 480p filmed on a potato. That said Hasan needs mics that aren’t $100 and clip when he gets shouty. Gotta get that 32bit float!!

Excited to do my part in welcoming Shariah Law Communism to NYC today!!

Dick Cheney died!!? Has anyone confirmed that the guy he shot in the face while hunting wasn’t involved?

One big reason we won't get "real" AI that goes beyond probabilistic LLMs anytime soon, is bc big tech can easily sell their copious user data to every startup large/small training yet another LLM. Other approaches to AI will be largely starved of funds as capitalism demands immediate growth.

How are we dividing up all 1,000,000 vacant apartments and houses when everyone moves out of New York because Zohran passed mandatory trans sharia in the five boroughs? Which ranks you higher in the lottery? Being more trans or more islamic????

Zohran's campaign really shows how the left can hold two simultaneous thoughts: that class-based policies create a compelling platform, and that you can sideline identity politics without throwing marginalized groups directly under the free bus.

This is actually REALLY bad considering Teen Vogue, clearly through the work of dedicated journalists likely in opposition to management, positioned itself as a legit, clear-eyed, political powerhouse capable of honest reporting. Genuinely, we lost a real one today. Goddamn.

Anyone know of solid leftie mutual aid groups that take clothes and shoes in good condition, in Brooklyn? @taliajane.bsky.social you know the legit groups, any recco??? Feel free to DM btw.

The new "the left is in hysterics" is definitely that Trump will figure out a scheme to run for a third term or refuse to leave office. Love this for us.

If you're demoing your autonomous robot and every task is performed by an offsite human in VR goggles w/a controller, that's just fraud.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

SHE’S SO FUCKIN WACK OMG STAAAAAAAHP. LOL. Jfc take a hint Dems, try something new and I don’t mean fascism-lite!

Lando Norris is just Lance Stroll with a bit more skill, but the same billionaire fail-son future DJ soul.

If you watch #F1 you may be entitled to compensation for emotional damage. Absolute dog shit stewarding from the first lap to the last.

How tf is LeClerc not being investigated for going from behind Hamilton, off the track, and rejoining well ahead of Hamilton on the first lap?!?!?!???

The only pearl clutching I’ve really seen for our naval murders is in the form of “this could be really dangerous for our troops put into harms way on an unclear mission”. Ma’am, your concern is for the heavily armored, gunned-up, AGGRESSORS? Tf is wrong with yall??? Jfc.

MSM responds to the US extrajudicially murdering civilians with the same uncritical blasé ghoulishness as they did with every Israeli assassination inside a neighbor state. We are a truly diseased country.

This is exactly what would happen. And libs have the audacity to criticize the Defund the Police movement.

Final days of Cuomo and Adams' campaigns are just "fuck it, full 'scary brown savage' islamophobia". JFC.

If ICE agents are so fat and stupid they can't kidnap people, that's actually not a bad thing and should be encouraged you fckin moron Libs. Stop clutching your pearls and lamenting the incompetence.

My replies are full of arguments about the legalities and semantics of one law or amendment or another, but they acknowledge A) that none of it matters because SCOTUS will rule for Trump, and B) no one will physically force Trump out.... so why bother debating unenforceable laws?? Copium I guess.

Libs: I’m worried the Gestapo members aren’t swoll enough or properly versed in all the finite ways they can LEGALLY crack immigrant skulls.

You don’t have to punch a Nazi, burn down a police station, to be an antifascist hero.

More dumbass Dem arguments: "Trump is taking 60 DEA agents from Arizona, the fentanyl capital, and deploying them to harass landscapers and gardeners...and working people, in DC" Trump's literally blowing up claimed fentanyl boats while you pander to law enforcement not people. Also, lowkey racist

Truthfully, most people who are "canceled" do a shit job of growing from whatever got them hemmed up. Hollow apologies, qualifiers. Minimizing harm. They want instant forgiveness. Growth requires actions not just thinkin bout it real hard. Reading. Therapy. Groups. Demonstrable changes in behavior.

The relationship The Left should create with MAGA is "these guys understand getting screwed by the CEOs and paid-for politicians, I'll vote for them because they're going to do X, Y, and Z" then, on the periphery, hopefully they learn and grow. PER-IF-ER-REE. NOT ALLIES. NOT SHAPE THE PLATFORM.

I don't think The Left fully understands the difference between offering class-centered material policies MAGA hogs can vote for, and inviting those hogs to influential positions and demanding the core black/brown base tolerate their unreformed racism.

So frustrating that seemingly intelligent people fall victim to the false binary that Dems need to either "forgive people of past indiscretions" or "cancel them forever". Folks. It's easy. You can indeed forgive people AND draw a line at ACTUAL NAZI SHIT. JFC.
