Happy International Women's Day to this classic banger

Did the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social buy the New York Times in an Onion/InfoWars-type gag?

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Me in January vs me right now

Best thing I ever read.

Yay, kids!

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

Latest installment of 0blivion came out this morning! mkbrooks.substack.com/p/0blivion-7

It is nice to see a *few* Democratic members of Congress energized by the fight and willing to buck leadership CW because they know it’s ineffective and outdated.

Not only are they happy to ingest things that say “NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION” in their fake quest for “cleaner” living, it’s also amazing how MAHA chuds will say things like “methylene blue protects against oxidative stress” as if they know what any of the words in that sentence mean. Case in point:

Couldn't pick a more emblematic photo of how the anti-trans movement has never been about protecting women. JK Rowling celebrating a man that over 25 women have accused of rape or sexual assault, that Jeffrey Epstein called his 'best friend'

It was a good theory: That calling Elon "President Musk" would get under Trump's famously thin skin, causing division. But it's not working. I have a theory why — and it helps explain why Republicans in Congress are okay with giving up power, too. www.salon.com/2025/02/07/w...

Call the US government today, flood the lines and apply maximum pressure. Demand they do their jobs, arrest Musk, and impeach Trump. 5 minutes, 5 calls, repeat. #3E

Do you guys think, if we put our heads together we could find one of those time holes from Dark?

I called Duckworth and Durbin's offices. The DC ones just tell you to email but you can call their Chicago offices. For Duckworth I got to talk to a real person, Durbin I had to leave a voicemail Duckworth: 312-886-3506 Durbin: 312-353-4952

Sheesh. Dems need to plan less, do more. The party in power must justify themselves; the opposition does not. Complain about every bit of malfeasance. Blame them for everything. Throw mud until it sticks. Jam gears, no unanimous consents. Republicans have done that for 30+ years, why won't you?

"The city’s vast networks of workers’ centers, unions and community organizations have spent months preparing, disbursing flyers and cards and sending the message to residents: Don’t talk to ICE."

Just what the fuck. This is genuinely insane

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

The exact same story, covered two different ways. Don’t listen to the people who say there’s no better way to communicate urgency than what our political elites are doing

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

This is extremely good, to me

Chicago, baby.

Resistance in action. #Georgia #Serbia #Slovakia

Blame Duffy, blame Misk, blame Trump

Are you against Kennedy's nomination? I absolutely am. Tell your Senators to oppose him too:

Tell your Senators: Oppose Project 2025 Architect Russell Vought for Director of the Office of Management and Budget

The January 6 pardons are turning out great.

rampell is living my fantasy which is telling jennings to eat a dick (they will never let me on that panel show)

“If Trump is what the image-world has now revealed itself to be – if he’s the ‘society’ we have settled for, looming against us, cruel and false and ugly and determined to destroy – then what answer is left but a fight to the finish?” www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

There are legitimate critiques of AOC on this or that issue from the left. But really, if there were 100 more representatives like her in Congress, we’d be living in a very different country. She represents what the Democratic Party must become.
