well, ive taken a good long look under the hood and the only way to save civilization is for the government to give my companies tens of billions of dollars while simultaneously kneecapping my competitors

No evidence of coordinated vandalism of Teslas despite Musk and Trump claims - by Kevin Collier and Michael Kosnar www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-mu...

Early voting started yesterday in Wisconsin! The state supreme court race is one of the year's top elections. Here's some of why it matters, in Bolts: boltsmag.org/wisconsin-20...

If you were outraged by the crimes against civilians on Oct 7th but not by the many more crimes against civilians *since* Oct 7th - just this week: kids being burned from head to toe; having their limbs amputated without anesthetic - then you don’t actually care about crimes against civilians.

Israel now bombing “everywhere, literally everywhere”

Gavin Newsom sees 10-point net drop in favorability since launching his podcast. Survey finds "the podcast only made 13% of voters have an improved perception of the Governor, with 26% saying that it harmed their perception."

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

The whole "but both options are bad!" rationale doesn't reckon with the fact that only one option can be mitigated. A shutdown creates a fight that could lead to a different solution; a cave just locks in the bad option.

Bernie Sanders: I should go to deep red states to hold town halls and listen to the concerns of voters. Gavin Newsom: I should host a podcast where I bring on every far right strategist and reactionary so they can spread their strategies and call me a cuck

Fetterman looks like he's at Jan 6.

truly feel bad for people who are committed to being the last person in the room to accept that federal dems are not meeting the moment. twisting your brain into knots to defend hakeem jeffries and chuck schumer of all people while they do little to nothing to defend us

the conservatives that Sam Seder debated in that Jubilee video were so bad that the online right has convinced themselves that the conservatives were actually the leftists and that Sam was the conservative lol

as harmful and violent as things will get, the ones who are actually to blame are getting million dollar book deals and podcasts while telling you to blame marginalized groups for having the audacity to exist. don’t be a fool.

Sad but unsurprising that the media isn't interested in stories of peaceful, regular American citizens on the left, only in characterizing them as violent vandals. Heartfelt stories about peaceful Americans are reserved for MAGA. Topsy-Turvy land.

literally nobody gave a shit until like 5 years ago, this is like 30-40 people in a nation of hundreds of millions, Republicans made this happen and Dems let them

I’m not down with this! These Democrats voted with Republicans to censure Al Green: - Ami Bera (CA) - Ed Case (HI) - Jim Costa (CA) - Laura Gillen (NY) - Jim Himes (CT) - Chrissy Houlahan (PA) - Marcy Kaptur (OH) - Jared Moskowitz (FL) - Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) - Tom Suozzi (NY)

In the movie version, there's a montage where, after her daughter starts feeding her information from TikTok, Gleason starts cutting Musk contracts to balance the budget, and he can't do anything about it because they made her the administrator.

Don't make me go back and find how conservative media described the Tea Party as the authentic, unfiltered, genuine voice of the people bringing sorely needed revolution to America www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

There’s a lot of back and forth about whether to forgive Trump voters and welcome them to the other side should they regret their choice, and I hope the one thing we can all agree on is that we should NEVER forgive those in power who are aligning with Trump out of convenience or self-interest.

1) Reminder no one is immune to propaganda. Ezra Klein knows liberals are far less conformist than conservatives, but he has absorbed the claim anyway. 2) The great power of "NPC" is how it falsely suggests to people in a cult that everyone *else* is mindless while the cult members have agency.

The last time we got Dems to wholeheartedly support social programs was because of the threat of militant labor and global communism. Thus that’s the pragmatic thing to do

Democratic leaders are finally furious and mobilized in this crisis *touches ear* Correction, they are furious and mobilized against their constituents www.axios.com/2025/02/12/d...

It’s been very weird to see congressional dems puttering around because it feels like normal people are going “this is fucking nuts right?” and then you get an email that goes so true bestie anywayyyyyys 20 dollars plzzzzzz

It's going to be wild when a coherent national level resistance to Trump emerges and the Democrats instantly awake from their slumber and devote huge amounts of energy and resources to co-opting and neutering it.

this strikes me less as an honest diagnosis and more as self-exonerating excuse for not doing maximum delay and obstruction in the senate right now.

If companies can spend $8 million for 30 seconds of air time during the Super Bowl, and millions more on celebrities and production, they can afford to pay their workers a living wage.

I bet trump's debt comments were due to the shitler youth discovering that a bunch of debt is just owed to the federal reserve and they can feel free to zero that out and declare victory if they want

While many of you are yelling "GO EAGLES" or "GO CHIEFS!" I'm yelling "GO ROBERT MUELLER and the rule of law!"
