Now that all the right wingnuts had their little Nuremberg rally and got all that white Christian nationalism off their chest, can we go back to a conversation about… I dunno… the fucking economy falling apart and that our president is a senile pedophile who commits criminal acts daily? Thanks

We are now on day 10 of “the economy is in shambles, our president is likely a pedophile, but let’s keep debating who is responsible for the death of a right-wing operative that 70% of voters didn’t even know existed until last week.”

So… at what point do we all march?

Whoever is planning to lead post-Trump America out of this mess better be planning the most comprehensive audit in the history of the US government. They also need the courage to tell voters just how fucked things are and how long it’s going to take to fix. I don’t want to hear “back to normalcy”

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Every actor, director, writer, and member of any entertainment industry guild should be walking off sets right now. If they want any kind of future, they should refuse to work until this McCarthyism bullshit comes to an end.

Oh look at that… he didn’t fit into that neat left/right profile promised by literally every media outlet and politician over the past 48 hours. Shocker.

This is the best political ad I’ve seen 2008.

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

I stopped following the news for the last 2 months. After checking in today, I’m not surprised that I haven’t missed anything. It’s basically the same bullshit over and over again. Capitalism slowly eating itself while a decrepit old man cosplays as the President. Just a world of idiocy.

GOP voted to proceed on a bill that is wildly unpopular across all segments of America out of fear of a president with a losing record when backing a primary challenger. The only thing crazier than that reality is that Thomas Massie and Rand Paul are the ones that have figured this out.

@kenmartin.bsky.social Why are you not shutting down the circular firing squad that half of the party created around Zohran?? Why are you letting this happen? You have enthusiasm behind a candidate and you’re squandering it. WAKE THE FUCK UP, KEN!!!

I’m just sitting here and wondering… at what point do we need to negotiate a separation of the liberal and conservative democracies within the United States? This isn’t a united nation and at this point, it never will be. At what point do the parents get divorced, so to speak? This isn’t working.

This outrageous decision on birthright citizenship (even limited as it is) sets a horrible precedent. The next Dem President should be formulating Exec Orders addressing gun sales, abortion rights and my own fave “corporate personhood,”… @meidastouch.com @muellershewrote.com @tribelaw.bsky.social

If so, it is time to start crafting some cool-ass laws. What a time to be a state legislator or an AG in a blue state. The Supreme Court just said you no longer have a boss. It's the last day of school, Democratic state majorities and AGs! Time to abuse some power.

Every Democratic politician needs to say this, publicly, right now: When we take back power, we will take full advantage of today’s Supreme Court ruling to move our agenda forward on matters like Student Loan Relief, reproductive rights, and gun control laws

Every lawyer in line to advise potential Democratic presidential candidates is drafting right now a host of policies that could be implemented without fear of nationwide injunctions slowing them down.

Trump’s entire motivation for everything he does is to prove that a white man is a better president than Barack Obama. That’s at the core of his being. He just wants the New York Times to say that he’s better than Obama. If they printed that, I bet you he would get bored and resign.

There’s an awful sinus infection going around right now. It’s not COVID, but it makes you feel like you it - groggy, slight fever. I got over it in a day, but my neighbor has had it for a week despite antibiotics. Be careful out there!

"Historians will be working around the clock trying to understand how the Republican Party, in a few short years, got to the point where their loyalty is to one person and not the constitution."

When you’re more influential with the voters than a former president and a revered member of the congressional old guard

My hot take about Zohran is that people want authentic candidates who seem like they give a shit about improving their lives. Ideology aside, people are willing to take risks—they just want somebody they think is going to fight for them in a world where very few are. That's why he's winning.

NY Democratic machine genuinely befuddled after the charismatic, talented person with good ideas defeated the sex pest fuck-up with name recognition

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

Fuck Andrew Cuomo Fuck centrist billionaire democrats Fuck “Joe Rogan of the Left” Fuck the GENIUS Act and everyone who voted for it. Fuck strongly worded letters Fuck “experienced” Fuck bipartisanship We want REAL leaders.

The Obama-to-Trump voter is a myth. They don’t exist. It’s a Trump voter’s way of signaling “I’m not racist.” They are racist. The truth is, they probably didn’t vote in 2008 and 2012. Trump wins because Obama voters aren’t turning out to vote and Gen-Z men are cosplaying Nazis.

In just 5 months President Trump has completed decimated whatever was left of the United States’ ability to conduct diplomacy post-Iraq. No other country can trust us, our “word” means nothing, and we are not to be taken seriously. Our position on the global stage has never been weaker.

democrats should be doing this a lot more often. publicly threatening powerful actors who consider appeasing trump. they have to counter trump’s bullying and they also have the added benefit of being right

This is what I’m talking about. We should be protesting against these fascist Silicon Valley assholes every day. They’re the real villains behind the curtain

The NY Times story on Social Security is another reminder that Elon Musk and his Silicon Valley friends are 100X more dangerous than Trump will ever be. He’s an idiot who wears his schemes on his sleeve. Musk, Thiel, Sacks… these are devious psychopaths who know exactly how to hurt people.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Trump’s military parade was an embarrassment to the United States, an embarrassment to the men and women who serve our country, and a waste of taxpayer money. It makes our government look weak and pathetic. World leaders don’t respect him. The only people afraid of this man are billionaires.

I make over $1600 per month eating eggs. The government actually pays you to eat them.

AI is the biggest scam of a generation. Unfortunately, in addition to burning money, it also destroys the environment.

I bet it would short circuit Trump’s brain if democrats started talking to him like he’s a 6-year-old constantly seeking praise. “Oh, I see you had a meeting today! What a big boy you are! We’re very, very proud of you!” Use terms like “big feelings.” Give him gold star stickers.

Ding ding ding ding!!!

Wall Street is in zombie invest mode and completely detached from reality. I can’t wait for earnings-per-share stats for the next 3 quarters.

Awesome! Now let’s do Amazon next

The @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com both changed their headlines about Trump’s meeting with Pres. Ramaphosa 3 times in one day!! At one point, NY Times added, then removed, the word “Ambush.” What the fuck is going on in those newsrooms??

It’s becoming clearer by the day which of my colleagues and professional peers are utilizing AI on a daily basis. They’re not internalizing information. They don’t learn anything or remember key facts. So, they ask the same questions over and over again. They think that nobody notices this.

“Well, Senator, I see the Constitution as kind of like a puppy. An excitable, untrained puppy that’s starting to really get on my nerves.”

Wow… Not that I’m surprised. Noem is dumb as a rock.

This morning, I hope progressives realize that the fight we face doesn’t just stop with removing Trump from power. Big tech/crypto, MAGA, MAHA, media conglomerates, complacent democrats, racial/religious nationalists… There’s a foundation of groups enabling Trump and it needs to be demolished

Dear @davidhogg.bsky.social, I’m totally on board now. Time to primary these MFers.

Great job @schiff.senate.gov. Lap dog for Ryan Selkis.

Here's the Biden age tie-in the press might need to cover this: Democrats are asking for an immense amount of trust from us right now and then repeatedly doing things to make us not trust them.
