Most of the "I regret my vote for Trump" takes are liars and these people would vote for him a fourth time if they could and then another set would vote for Vance or DeSantis in 2028 anyway.

We need to make it shameful for anyone over 30 to care if people under 21 think they’re cool. If you are a fifty-something year-old rocket billionaire, you should not care if teenagers want to play video games with you.

Embrace the arrogance of your 30s. I do not care what the zoomers are into because they have garbage taste in everything, music, film, and video games all peaked when I was 28.

Just the the world’s richest man (and apparently co-president), casually calling for extrajudicial targeted assassinations of anyone he claims are “terrorists,” within the borders of a neighboring country that is supposedly an American ally.

hey, if you're a Googler and not on paternity leave, a good question to put on a leadership Dory is "considering that the US government's anti-DEI order is suspended, what timeline can you commit to for reinstating Google's commitment to its diversity principles?"

the new york times is genuinely evil

a lot of women and non-white people and queer people are *stupid assholes* and it still doesn’t mean it’s OK to discriminate against them there’s no “misogyny, racism, and queerphobia are OK when they’re being applied to stupid assholes” caveat, and that’s for very good reason

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

you are the dumbest people on the face of the planet my god

Seen today in Lower Manhattan...

I’ve been banging this drum for a while but like: they shut down huge swaths of the counterterrorism functions!!!

I watched a journalist complain earlier this week that Bsky has reinvented the right's skepticism towards mainstream journalism without a profit motive as a way to be derisive, but honestly I feel like we are not harsh enough on institutions like the Times over here.

i'm not a fan of mangione or his weird cult but consequences for the obnoxiously overt class solidarity and elite politicking would not be a bad thing at all

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

Not gonna lie. I do think our chances of long-term success against fascism are improved by the fact that the fascists want to treat women as property. Because that drives half our the talent straight into our arms. Of course, it also gives us a responsibility to do better on gender issues.

if they end up merging DEA and ATF with the FBI without going through congress i'm gonna die laughing

I simply do not know how the Supreme Court would allow this without setting a precedent that would allow Dems to abolish ICE. And if they try a “no precedent but Republicans get what they want” move like in 2000, then just give up on following the supreme court’s dictates ever again.

i genuinely think it was this specific genre of video that broke silicon valley's VC guys' brains, and 3 years later we're like tearing down the US Forestry Service because they think it's full of brunch-eating do-nothing-email-job remote workers

The editors and the publisher of NYT are really the embodiment of reactionary centrism

I'd ask when this guy will be led off in handcuffs but I already know no one has the balls.

fellas is it bad if your regime's active duty military is posting about they aren't loyal to you

sirota sephiroth-posted "we are going to go all the way to the convention with a plurality after the moderates fail to consolidate then dare them to blow up the coalition by not making me the candidate" and immediately thereafter the moderates consolidated. this is compared to murder

This man doesn’t look cool enough to have the nickname Razin’ Caine

yeah it turns out that actually teaching conservatives to read radical theory is that they did and they realized reality was socially constructed and that knowledge is an operation of power and here we are

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

what I can’t work out is how you even had a 2020 tweet stuck in your Bluesky drafts to send

Pretty much

its beyond fucked up that a bunch of self-described leftists are making a folk hero out of someone who is more or less politically indistinguishable from a DOGE kid

In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6. Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.

I have to say that spending 8 entire years saying someone was Rapist Hitler The Fascist Who Wants To Kill You and then the moment he wins shrugging and going "well we can't do anything now" and voting for the Kill All Immigrants Bill is... not an ideal look?

A very good thread. And I’ll note that the administration is barely a month old and there are -already- legitimate grounds for impeachment.
