Endorsing the crime of ethnic cleansing.

RFK saying that “Blacks” have better immune systems and shouldn’t get the same vaccines as white people should be disqualifying. But we live in really dumb times.

People believe all kinds of bullshit conspiracies but the actual conspiracy to cook the planet for profit is somehow not getting as much traction as some weird shit about cyanide in fruit or seed oils or whatever.

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec... Isn't all mass violence caused by "self-radicalization". We may not know what excuse prompted the Las Vegas mass killer, but we know personal breakdown is involved in almost all of them.

Know who else loves a US government shutdown? Vladimir Putin.

i can't think of anything more american than a mass shooting at a christian school called "abundant life"

“At least remain neutral on whether racism is bad” is a very succinct form of the argument that’s been running roughshod over schools, newspapers, and major corporations since 2020.

I fully expect Manchin, Sinema or both, to be given jobs in the Trump admin. Just an unbelievable betrayal. Manchin got what he wanted in bailing out the coal miner pension fund, and screw the rest of labor. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Thoughts on Hunter pardon: - I don’t love it, but I completely understand why he did it - with everything the incoming administration is telling us they’re going to do, we probably need to stop handcuffing ourselves with standards they won’t follow - I wish it wasn’t this way

I second this motion

Fellas, I don’t post here a lot but you should absolutely know this // help me spread the word! Violent crackdowns are happening in Tbilisi, Georgia. We are fighting for our lives here. Please, please, please help us spread the word.

Blue sky hello

The MAGA Republican plan in Congress is to cut Social Security and Medicare, and repeal the Affordable Care Act, so they can give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations. Do not let them tell you otherwise and be prepared to fight every step of the way. We will stop them AGAIN!

Travis has arrived!

Talking to my mom this week about polio. In the 1950s, the polio virus terrified American families. She said: “Everybody was scared to death of catching it! When we went to the beach if there was a little pool of water our parents wouldn’t let us go near it!” 🧵/x

Trump campaigned on this in 2016, it turned into Executive Order 13770, which forbade executive branch employees becoming a lobbyist for 5years (to much fanfare) and was cancelled by executive order on his final day in office. None of this is new. You don't have to pretend you were born yesterday.

This encapsulates the asymmetry in our information environment, and political media. @neeratanden.bsky.social was pummeled in the press, relentlessly, while Trump's cronies are given cursory reporting. The Fox guy is a neo Nazi, Gaetz is a rapist, under the law, and the GOP lifts them up.
