Whoop whoop 🙌

The “this is not new” people need to take a day off. Nothing is ever completely new. All oppression has iterations across history, but we are off the map of our experience, the situation is escalating and it’s completely out of control. History lessons are welcome. “This is not new” is out of touch.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

they really don't think brown people's lives have any value at all

I only based my idea of him being a racist on the words he says about people of other races. You can see how foolish that was.

I want to see a whole new class of Democrats willing to ram the most progressive agenda through the next time they’re even technically in a place to do it. I want elected progressives who obstruct this administration period. No compromises. No bailing out Republicans. Just sand in the gears.

in the end i'm immune to all the awful dehumanizing things they say about trans people because i know they are miserably trapped in their genders and i, while miserable in other ways, am not.

how the media has covered Signalgate so far: “*yelling* TOP US OFFICIALS SHARE SECRET DETAILS ABOUT *whispers* ~a war crime~ *yelling again* IN AN UNSECURED GROUP CHAT” i get why but let’s cover the whole ~war crime~ thing too: leveling an entire apartment building for one dude is evil

The Vice President and the National Security Advisor discussing how they pre-targeted a building housing civilians.

So the guy leading RFK Jr.'s vaccine-autism study? A total quack who was previously charged for practicing medicine without a license for using chemical castration drugs on autistic children.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

political norms are not just completely useless they are deeply harmful because they always end in the worst people acting with impunity while everyone else goes 'oh my goodness well nothing we can do that would violate the rules that don't exist really'

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

BIG TENT PARTY 🔥💙🇺🇸

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The mugger has taken my wallet, raising questions about his respect for property rights

I guess the short form of my objection to the whole "abundance" thing is that it's a bunch of people who are literally doing this thing and have mostly convinced themselves they're not doing this thing

actually the number of people who care about the nonpartisan defense of free speech is exactly the same as it was

Ok for real tho, this mta vest goes hard

you can say they're not sane or their arguments don't pass constitutional muster till you're blue in the face. they have the power. they're doing it. And unless they are stopped they will keep doing it.

when they conceived of the 2nd amendment, the founders failed to consider that one day all the gun owners would decide that tyranny is awesome and just use them to shoot the ups guy

I think Abundance Agenda stuff is basically rooted in the same logic of the New Deal, that to dave democracy people need to see democracy deliver

Antisemitism is structurally necessary to Elon Musk's politics, because his identity is rooted in being an underdog fighting against the real power, but as the world's wealthiest person, who is deeply politically connected, he needs a definition of elite not rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

Says something that Trump pardoned people who beat police officers and trashed the United States capital but if a Dem wins they’ll be like dang I guess everyone who put dog poop on a Tesla should serve the full 12 years
