If I were MacKenzie Scott, I would simply start a newspaper based in Washington DC.

Livid. Cannot fathom a world where Republicans, who regularly fly commercial with their families, are not revolting internally over this decision. Will one of you cowards stand up to this madness before someone you love dies??

Reliance on these talking points informed by polling is the result of not being amongst or even related to any regular people. They are clueless as to how Americans outside of their own enclaves think, and are too nervous and jittery to take a risk (see how quick they muzzled Walz last year).

It feels like this is the week that every warning I’ve read about in a theoretical sense for the past 10 years all became a reality at once.

Today on bluesky I learn that it was "propaganda" that the Soviet Union had trouble delivering consumer goods to its citzens and that store shelves there were sometimes empty. My "gas leaks everywhere" theory of politics is looking more and more unstoppable.

No matter what side you were on in the Philly arena fight, you have to be feeling duped today. If you supported it - sorry, it’s not happening, & you probably spent social/political capital for that opinion for nothing. Everyone else: we now know for sure we’re just pawns in a billionaires’ game.

Horrifying. Idk even what to do. Stop using their platforms? We’d lose a valuable info-sharing, community-building and organizing space. We are really fucked here. Stay vigilant and use those community notes if you’re sticking with FB & Insta.

Said it before but now that it's Jan 6 I'll say it again: The violent attack at the Capitol was done by rich people, the modern landed gentry, the people who could afford to travel and book fancy hotels to plot a violent attack. It wasn't hicks. It was rich people doing crime.

I have a lot of friends posting their goals or their predictions for the new year, but I don’t have goals, only feelings:

New York Rep. Pat Ryan, who easily held his Hudson Valley swing seat last month, spoke for AOC in the Dem conference meeting yesterday. Asked him what he said and he just sent me the speech - sharing in case it's interesting

Climate change is accelerating, potentially faster than predicted. If you're the type of person who recycles, eats less meat, rides a bike, etc, in order to lessen your climate impact, please also consider your Data & AI usage, and how to cut it back.

I am tired of living in unprecedented times. Please make the times more precedented.

This is the rallying call that I've needed to hear since November 6th. From Roxane Gay in today's New York Times www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

Biden: I will leave my successor and my country with a strong foundation to build on if they choose to do so. It's true, some may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that's under way in America, but nobody, nobody can reverse it.

Jake Paul fight RFK Jr. next

Begging President Trump to own libs like me with a Trump Train across America His friend President Xi did this and they made him President for life!! Because of love, not because they were forced to I would be so owned

BEGGING yall to stop pointing fingers at anyone other than the lying, fascist regime taking power. Do Dems & leftists alike need a hard look in the mirror? Yes. Strategize? Definitely. But TOGETHER. Not in a kumbaya sense, but with a “we will FAIL without each other” urgency.

Saw Barack Obama, Bruce Springsteen and John Legend at the Kamala Harris rally last night in Philadelphia! Absolutely unreal experience, especially seeing 10,000 Pennsylvanians singing “Dancing in the Dark” in perfect unison with the Boss. Let’s GOTMFV!!

Knocked doors for Harris/Walz this morning in South Philly. Felt good to touch grass (pavement) and realize there’s a lot of normal, decent people out there, all of whom just want this to be over as much as you & I do.

👋 hi, nothing to post yet, so here’s that clip from Abbott Elementary with the teachers dancing to Wild Wild West youtu.be/YETF7zW1zKc?...
