Angry idealist turned chill cynic. I'm a half English, Progressive Jets fan. Optimism isn't in my nature. If you didn't vote for Kamala, we are not and will never be on the same side.

When an attempt was made on Donald Trump’s life, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris immediately issued statements condemning the shooting and all political violence. The fact that Donald Trump hasn’t said a word about the arson attack on Gov. Shapiro and his family tells you all you need to know.

So I have a theory: The Black Mirror episode "Common People" takes place in a parallel universe to Blackish. If they weren't born to hippie parents, Santa Monica would have been poor instead of becoming rich and famous, whereas Rainbow would have become an insurance hawk instead of a doctor.

The attack on Josh Shapiro and his family during the first night of Passover is chilling, tbh. Maybe it has nothing to do with them being Jewish. But we don’t know that right now. The historical echoes are bad, either way.

Yeah, using outhouses and getting polio was soooo strong, Donald

Rather than cite “DEI”—write out the words. Diversity Equity Inclusion Because if you’re against DEI, THAT’S what you’re against. Don’t let folks hide behind the initials.

Digital robber barons.

Gretchen Whitmer just did all of us a huge favor https://twp.ai/4imgC7

Everyone who has paid into Social Security: 1. Create a Login.Gov account. 2. Go to the Social Security page and log in. 3. Do screen caps of your Earnings Record. 4. Because it may not be there tomorrow, thanks to Elon.

The millions of people who don’t give a damn that an innocent man who broke no laws was sent to a concentration camp without any due process are all Nazis. They are the people we spent generations warning our children about. They are the people who are so xenophobic they lost their capacity

Dear China: Play hard ball. Cut off rare minerals and chip sales to US Companies. Fuck a tariff. Break his back.

How Fox this morning frames Russia’s latest missile attacks against civilians: “Both sides now accusing each other of violating the 30-day cease fire agreement.”

I cannot overstate how despicable the Mahmoud Khalil case is The Government concedes he hasn’t broken any laws But they assert he can be deported for his past, current or even EXPECTED beliefs All based on the sole determination of Marco Rubio Who is apparently now the head of the Thought Police

Timeline Cleanser! 🐾 I dare anyone to watch this and be in a bad mood. Our furry friends want to remind us that there’s still joy in this world despite the toxic news cycles we see each day. I’ve watched it 10 times already. Please repost it so others can smile too. Happy Saturday!

If this is the lead photo art for an article about hotness you've already lost the argument

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

yeah, weird that the left wasn’t present at the Fourteen Words conference

My main hobby is collecting good news about coffee

Once again, we fought a whole damn ass war against the British to prevent this kind of thing

Fuck Stephen Miller and Tom Homan to hell. Goddamn bastards, both of them.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

I’ve been a longtime hater of the White House press briefing but it’s truly never been more worthless than in this moment

Trust in corporate media is at historic lows, resulting in mass unsubs & declining readership. It's one result of billionaires buying out & corrupting legacy platforms. I wrote about how people can get the honest, clear info they need to stay informed. www.qasimrashid.com/p/as-corpora...

I know how this will sound, but maybe their dear leader needs to send them to war. Maybe that's the only way these little shits will experience the real world. Boomers had Vietnam, Gen X had Iraq. Let Gen Z get sent to wherever Captain Shitforbrains sends them.

If you're a Democratic elected leader and ever find yourself about to say "well...I think Trump has the right idea here in some ways..." just...fucking...stop. This is not the moment for nuanced policy discussions. Stop trying to give him credit. No one wants to hear nuance or wonky policy talk now!

An eighth grader is showing more courage than many elected Democrats right now.

BREAKING: After multiple aircraft crashed yesterday, a plane just crashed in Boca Raton, Florida. Sean Duffy is nowhere to be found.

Hey Times writers, in case you ever wondered what you would do during an authoritarian, Soviet-style "crackdown on higher education," it turns out the answer is friendly interviews with the architects about their political strategy

The thing about this guy is that he’s a total product of right-wing affirmative action and you literally would never have heard of him if he was a liberal.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Vandalize a Tesla, get 20 years. Vandalize the capital, get pardoned

I would take this more seriously if I thought the Times would acknowledge their role in legitimizing Rufo as a national figure (via op-eds, elite interviews), and also serving as a breathless foot soldier in his bad-faith purges of higher ed. But they won't. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-campai...
