Shocker! Our story didn’t make Brian’s media roundup. Not deferential enough to the msm I guess www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

I honest to goodness dont think this is true. Perhaps I’m naive and I’ll cop to it. But I believe a strong truth is more effective than a simple lie. But the truth absolutely has to be “sexed up.”

As I keep saying: when I say we need to steal from the right, that doesn’t mean I think we should lie. We should steal the effective stuff from their playbook and use it to be fierce advocates of the truth. Punch them in the face (rhetorically) with the truth as HARD as they throw shit at us.

Hi @brianstelter.bsky.social www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

after i called out the @nytimes.com on bluesky and in my story for @dailykos.com the ny times has FINALLY added a correction. we caught them in the act. they tried to hide it. then we exposed them more. and now they've reacted again.

How it started. How it’s going

ny times, the most well financed, praised news source on the planet, able to influence govts, institutions, etc: "here's some lie, dont fact check it, just trust us" me, who failed high school geometry, googling while waiting for a burger: "yeah, that's not true." www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Get bent.

Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

Gallego wouldn’t find himself explaining a joke if he didn’t appear on Fox. It really is that simple.

cc @nytimes.com "Presenting the views of a partisan operative—particularly one who is Black—without context helps to give Trump a permission slip to further erode [civil rights] gains." www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

EXCLUSIVE (by me, heh) New York Times caught passing off GOP flack as average Black voter www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

dumb for democratic governors to go to the white house today imo

ELON: (replying to picture comparing 90s Lara Croft’s breasts to current day Lara Croft’s breasts posted by account called Western_Gaming) Woke must be stopped. GRIMES: Elon please call me back. Your sickly child Morty Mechahitler got cut in half looking at a photo of a Cybertruck.

Like clockwork, no solutions to combat sky-high eggs prices and shortages so he pivots to lies about the southern border. #TrumpTakeEgg

Surprise! Trump broke all his Day 1 promises www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

“... in order to pay for this staggering amount, the plan calls for sweeping cuts to essential programs, including potentially Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, and more.” All to pay for mass detention camps and mass family separation, in our name and tax dollars.

Democratic disapproval of legislators is at like 65%. There are going to be successful primaries if Schumer, etc. don't get their heads out of their asses.

The Daily Beast: What is this Elon Salute what can it mean French Nazis: too Nazi for us

“What are you doing in my kitchen, hooman?”

And this isn’t helped by Democrats like B Clinton and Obama who have reinforced conservative tropes about belt tightening and running the govt on a family budget.

Eric Adams can’t be trusted. That’s why I’ve asked Eric Adams for his recommendations of who should help keep him in check.

Musk goes to war with astronaut who called out his BS www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

it will be their version of trump stopping the testing after it showed covid spreading

the french nazis somehow come out looking better than the american conservative movement (to be clear: all nazis suck. fuck all the nazis, theres no good nazis)

we are on the worst timeline

This is a prime example of poor messaging. “At 4am, Republicans just voted for more of *your* money going straight into the pockets of multi-millionaires.” Take a lesson from Pete Buttigieg.

americans are begging for leadership

get the orcas.

BREAKING: The SEC has dropped its enforcement case against Coinbase. Coinbase spent $46 million to influence the outcome of the election. Now they're already getting their payoff.

the ny times and their writers believe that communications are a one-way deal. they speak and you listen and obey. they are not to ever be challenged or questioned.

It's blatantly obvious that the NYT finds Republicans to interview by calling up their Republican Party contacts and asking for someone "normal" to get quotes from, and their failure to disclose that they always interview party apparatchiks is a conscious choice

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

racism isnt racism, its racially charged nazi salutes arent nazi salutes, theyre ironic hand gestures 2025 isnt orwellian its 1984 related

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

Looks like @nytimes.com has stealth-edited this to add Evans' affiliation with Young Republicans. No correction or update note. I don't think I've ever worked with a single editor who would let me get away with that but it seems to happen regularly over there.

As much as we accuse dems of chasing polls, that gives them too much credit. They chase the poll #s that get emphasized by the news media and various bad faith actors
