By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

if trump actually goes to fort knox, there is no way he doesn't get one of his goons to pocket a gold bar for him.

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

Not fresh observation but the idea that “government should be run like a business” is an exceedingly stupid one that fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of a functioning democratic government. Redundancies in the event of any problem occurring are the point, not a failure or “bloat”

Anyone justifying national Democrats' current strategy to you is committing massive, possibly world historic political malpractice, including the elected officials themselves.

I'm starting to think that repeatedly grooming NYC machine pols to be the next generation of Democratic congressional leadership was one of the great mistakes of the post-Citizens United era. Their loyalties are misplaced, their instincts unhelpful, & above all they are visibly, painfully soft

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

The richest man in the world being handed all of the trappings of public office, with zero accountability

This is interesting because the question is less what they will do as legislators and more what they will do as politicians. AOC is a member of the House minority, but she’s doing a lot of politics about all of this anyway.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

There's a few interesting numbers in this poll, but the headline is job approval of Congressional Dems is 49 disapprove, 40 approve among Democrats. If you're still pitching the "Bluesky isn't real life, Normal Democrats aren't mad at leadership," it may be time to reassess.

my real fear (articulated last november) is that Musk following the Twitter playbook doesn't just mean chaos and organizational dysfunction and firings...it means not caring at all about the financial health of the organization bc the ultimate goal is creating a political weapon

This weasel actually insists it’s a “longstanding norm” that only the president or his attorney general can say “what the law is” which is, of course, absolute garbage.
