oh my god he’s so fucking incompetent

turns out that alienating your core customer base of highly educated middle aged women is not a great strategy for a major retailer

I can’t get over the fact that Trump disappeared a legal U.S. resident to a gulag in El Salvador and is refusing to bring him back despite a unanimous Supreme Court decision ordering him to

For the sake of the economy, we must take drastic emergency measures. I propose a 150% tariff on Howard Lutnick TV appearances.

funny to see this post, because it’s basically a perfect summary of my broader thesis on the role of EVs more broadly long term bettercities.substack.com/p/are-electr...

I think that we should both A) get rid of our own government doing an imperialist terror AND B) send the two-bit dictator of El Salvador to The Hague for putting Americans in concentration camps

90% of Germans voted to make Hitler fuhrer, guess there’s nothing we can do about it 😕

Cuomo is an incompetent NIMBY and serial sexual harasser. Don’t vote for him and don’t let your friends vote for him either. Zellnor Myrie, Brad Lander, Adrienne Adams, and Zohran Mamdani are all far better options.

this take unlocks a level of neocon inside me that I didn’t know I had: I don’t give a single shit how popular bukele is in El Salvador. if you illegally put American residents in a gulag and mock the US judges ordering them back, you deserve a slap chop missile from the Woke CIA

Phil Murphy sucked up to Trump on congestion pricing and look what it got him: congestion pricing is still in effect and the Trump administration is going after him. never try to compromise with Trump because he will just think you’re a sucker

Dems need to make it very clear that Bukele will end up like Noriega once they are back in power

How it started // How it’s going

I do not think Dems should be voting to send people like this turbosized social security bonuses signed by Trump

Fulop was always an underdog in the NJ gov race but it’s been incredible to see him pick up so much momentum running on an anti-machine, pro-housing, pro-transit platform. He has a real shot of winning and if you live in NJ you should vote for @stevenfulop.bsky.social

I call it trying to prevent Trump from establishing a durable authoritarian regime. democrats should be singularly focused on being the opposition party, and that means refusing to collaborate with Trump on anything, at least without winning major concessions and checks on his power

guy who spent $44B to purchase and control the most influential social media network says that he is the victim of a propaganda war

I really can’t get over the fact that it took so many major U.S. companies and institutions less than 100 days to Orbanify and become vessels for Trump

I know some of you might be getting sick of the dark clouds of morally degraded, culturally impoverished authoritarian decay descending on the entire country and its territories but at least everything is more expensive and shittier than it materially was previously

these guys are fucking nazis

The New York Times can’t stop doing puff pieces on fascists.
