does he read the news

this can’t be real if this is really real I seriously am going to quit

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Turns out if Dems spend millions of dollars on conservatives and conservative ads, voters think conservatives and conservative ideas are good. Go figure. It's frustrating, but the point of this report is to encourage the Dem family to get better at ball, so I'd appreciate your help sharing it.

this is a good ad www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7SO...

ratio hall of fame 🏆 and you all nuked schumer's post into the sun before i could even get to it. never leaving this damn website, i love it so much it hurts.

"Health care decisions should be made by parents and kids, not by six extremist right wing Republicans in robes. This nonsensical decision is an attack on human dignity and our health care system. We are going to immediately [specific action here]." fixed it for you

Popularists gonna really lean into this right?

I shit you not, people

Last February, I led a proposal submission that encompassed six months, hundreds of hours, four institutions, a massive team, and and 256 pages. NSF just informed us that the entire Biology Integration Institute program was archived and our proposal would not even be reviewed. With a form email.

Lander is on the hustle so hard he canvassed the ICE agents who arrested him

What if, hear me out, what if we didn't suck not going to find out this week

Oh

Masked federal agents just illegally arrested New York City’s elected Comptroller. Outrageous. The Trump Administration went after Brad Lander for asking this simple question: “Do you have a warrant?” By asking this question, Brad was standing up for the basic rights of all Americans.

🚨 UNACCEPTABLE & FRIGHTENING 🚨 Today, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander—an elected official and U.S. citizen—was arrested by masked ICE agents at Federal Plaza while accompanying an immigrant whose case had been dismissed. This is an attack on democracy, civic duty, and New Yorkers’ fundamental rights.

NEW: It looks like Palantir is helping Trump build a mega-database of Americans' private information so he can target and spy on his enemies, or anyone. @aoc.bsky.social and I are demanding answers directly from Palantir.

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

thread. there's a lot going on right now that has more immediate harm to people, but selling our public lands will have really rotten effects on climate change, shared experiences, & public wealth

uhhhh

Would be amazing to get a single piece of media on this topic centered on the right's firehose of bigotry and misinformation rather than "the trans rights movement's shortcomings" www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...

Any Democrat who can’t stand up and speak out now against the Trump-Netanyahu regime change war should not even consider running in 2028. You’re not who this country needs.

Do not. Let. Never Trumpers. Run. Your strategy. Particularly ones who can’t read a fucking poll. (only ‘24 Trump voters? Seriously? Bet the question wording on here is suuuper neutral, too)

This is good and true but they also featured a new and very awesome group called @waytowinus.bsky.social and their extremely awesome new poll - bsky.app/profile/wayt...

unreal

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

as someone prone to directly confronting people for stuff they say online, that from lee is the face of someone who did not expect to be confronted for something he said online

This problem goes super deep. It goes to a whole theory of politics Dems urgently need to rethink; they've been blaming the left for their losses when what's really going on is cumulative advantage in right wing media. But saying this is inconvenient for their worldview. So they're stuck.

She makes no distinction. She uses the royal "we." The only mention of "Republicans" is noting Republicans' praise of the slain lawmaker's impact as speaker. NPR's characterization is fair as are the reactions.

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.
