Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

Humorless liberal scolds are, as far as I can tell, the ones terrorizing Republican congressmen when they make public appearances so until you do that instead of posting jokes, shut the fuck up

On 22 February 1943, three young Germans, members of the White Rose Society -- Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst -- were guillotined by the Nazis for distributing leaflets speaking out against the crimes of the Third Reich. Their bravery, and their cause, will not be forgotten.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

it is not great to me that the entire right is adopting a trolling approach to the Hitler salute

Another six-byline alarm on DOGE’s specious accounting. “That contract wasn’t canceled by DOGE or anyone else,” he said. “If they took credit for canceling the contract, they’re lying.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent. truthout.org/articles/tes...

it's really saying something that this is how an apparent friend explains Elon's goals www.vanityfair.com/news/story/e...

you could put this exact demographic on house arrest and it would lower crime by like 80 percent

Just wow. He's openly threatening governors if they don't comply with losing all federal funding by violating their own state laws.

Nate Silver 🤝 Noah Smith Knowing nothing about the past, skimming Wikipedia and not doing the reading, and assuming they’ve invented a new way of understanding human history

that would pay for the entire National Park Service budget for 33 years. but "government is inefficient"

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

If you de-zoot the toots here, he’s saying he spent $44b on twitter as part of his right wing political project—which is both obvious and something you can’t say in the newspaper.

Just got out of jail. Only forty four left to go to catch John Lewis’s record. Remember - peaceful civil disobedience. Don’t comply in advance.

walmart's warning is notable - consumers are holding off. confidence is vaporizing and it shows. www.reuters.com/business/ret...

Fucking spineless coward. Cooper is going to thump him in '26

The same reporters who had no problem idly speculating that Biden had dementia (and Stelter was leading the crowd!) cower before Trump's threat of cutting off access to him if they don't call a body of water by a name he likes. You want to know why democracy is dying, start there.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

i think the “NPC” insult is dehumanizing and illiberal and *rich* coming from a guy who thinks entirely in mindless dinner party cliches. in fact, all you need to know what he will think about anything is to know what parties he goes to.

still one of my all-time favorite tweets

This is one reason highlighting the Nazi links of Musk and Vance, the way their politics are so deeply rooted in meme-driven online extremism and Nazism, the Yarvin stuff, the /pol/ stuff, is important. It places serious strain on the conservative coalition.

Not for nothing….if you don’t want to be there and don’t want to work to fight him….I do and I will.

Imagine being a neo-Nazi lawyer working for ICE and getting busted because you kept making posts to your anonymous Nazi account while appearing in court, while the journalists watched you and checked your feed www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Nobody has ever been more vindicated than the Russiagate people

Hail Satan! Hail Satan tonight! Hail Satan! Hail hail!

He’s not talking about Elvis.

Please stop saying it saved money until you understand the value of what was cut. They are downsizing, and if the stuff getting cut had real value, its not a saving.

I absolutely believe that the Pope should excommunicate Vance and the other Catholics in the Musk/Trump junta carrying out its demonic agenda.

I know wine moms and lawnmower dads, personally, who said "Bernie is too extreme!" five years ago that are currently drafting DIY guillotine plans in AutoCAD using parts from Home Depot. They are absolutely not ready

When Dems were in power these things weren't happening to Fed workers. But the voters kicked Dems out of power. Biden did a lot for union workers and Dems were rewarded for that by many union voters switching to Trump. The GOP is bad and voters shouldn't put them in charge. But they did.
