I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

i think everyone on the left should more or less aggressively grab on to the legacy of FDR's war liberalism and shove it down the throat of every fascist until they cannot breath

This is what fascism looks like - using a conspiracy theory about a dehumanized outgroup as a pretext for seizing political power and wielding arbitrary authority. What you read about in the history books is happening right here, right now.

The news media wants to help Trump occupy our cities and rule over us like a king. The people in the media who help Trump are his allies and our enemies, and the enemies of what's left of the actual free press

Mookie Betts, Rafael Devers and Chris Sale have netted Vaughn Grissom, Alex Verdugo, Connor Wong, Jeter Downs, Jordan Hicks, and Kyle Harrison. Those trades would have the Red Sox kicked out of a fantasy league.

Infants can literally just stop breathing and die with no warning from “whooping cough” (pertussis) infection. They do not necessarily even get the infamous cough that older children and adults get (and can be severe enough to break ribs). Do not let unvaccinated people around your newborns (or you)

My fed agency helped build an IRS login system that didn't rely on face recognition, we felt it was invasive. For this were attacked by The Daily Wire as "a cabal of perpetually triggered leftists obsessed with politics and pronouns" Per Musk's tweets, this is part of the reason he fired us all.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

The EPA has dropped a legal case against the GEO Group, a major Trump donor, over its misuse of harmful chemicals in an ICE facility. “This is a complete surrender,” said an attorney who worked at the EPA for almost 40 years. By @fastlerner.bsky.social‬ and @lisalsong.bsky.social‬

In serious countries that are actual democracies, strong mainstream parties force members who do stuff like this to resign, & far right authoritarian parties that do this are shunned from government. Here in 🇺🇸, one of our two parties has collapsed into far right authoritarianism. So neither happens.

He took over a small antivaccine group he liked in 2015, turned it into his own propaganda & money-laundering org that became the biggest antivaxx source in the world and made him more than $20K/week. You have to be very intentionally stupid to think this started in 2020 or was ever about liberalism

Pelosi recently missed being assassinated and her husband was almost killed but mainstream media are so far gone they quickly downplayed the political murder attempts. Now another Dem leader and her husband are dead and still most of what we will hear about tomorrow is the fascist’s parade.

Day 2 of the manhunt for the Trump voters who murdered a Democratic politician in cold blood. Those cops are just having such a hard time catching that schlubby boomer who did it you guys. The delay has nothing to do with the fact that he has multiple sympathizers working in the police departments.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

This actually counts as a Father’s Day 2025 mini thread because I do sometimes wonder in these situations “what if it were my kid” and the answer is simple: you love and support your child and you react with unbridled fury to those in power who wish to demonize them for no reason beyond power & vice

This is mostly because the median Democratic politician insists on constructing a made-up median American voter in their head, who they base on some combination of Archie Bunker and William Buckley.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Was yesterday a peak in political violence in recent decades? In addition to the targeted killings in Minnesota, by my count there may have been as many as three attacks against (peaceful) protesters: one shooting (SLC, Utah) and two motor vehicle attacks (SF & Culpeper, VA).

If Kamala won, the tribute to the army would have been a perfectly nice free concert with Tom Hanks speaking and, like, John Legend and Luke Bryan performing. And it would have had ten times the people attending at a tenth of the cost.

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

Would urge any Senator pushing legalization of crypto as a way to "win back young men" to talk to any man in their 20s or 30s who is looking to crypto for stability and consider what they are choosing to neglect in order to make those investments.
