Saying that I don’t think trying to debate Donald Trump is the best strategy and that what GCN is doing is actually working does not equate to support of GCN over Mamdani. You are the one who said that. Have a nice day.
Have a nice day.
Also didn’t say this. I simply said debating Donald Trump is not the best course of action. You have literally said everything else.
Again, I didn’t say they weren’t a cult. You keep putting word in my mouth because you’re making assumptions instead of taking the words for what they plainly say. Have a wonderful day.
And I should trust you over the years I spent studying counseling and human behavior resulting in a master’s degree because?
I also didn’t say that. Don’t put words in my mouth. I said that debating DJT is not the way to rattle a man who has spent most of his life in front a camera. While I have no doubt that Mamdani would obliterate him, it will not do anything to make the MAGA crowd like Trump less. That’s literally it
The man who gets on camera every single day disappeared for an entire fucking week. Between Gavin’s tweets and Pritzker’s press conferences, it’s rattling them. They’ve changed the plan for Chicago 64837362 times and now are going NOLA?
Again, I never said that I supported Gavin Newsom for anything. I said that his approach is working whether you like it or not. So don’t put words in my mouth. JFC you can hate him all you want and still recognize that it’s working at rattling DJT and his cronies.
He has an alt twitter account run by a comms team that is completely psychologically messing with Trump while also side by side holding press conferences showing his actual opinion and not behaving like Trump. So maybe he is being clever without lowering himself and you’re just being judgmental.
It’s funny that you got, I am fully supporting GCN from saying what he is doing is psychologically actually working against Trump. Also, it’s funny that many people think this all he’s doing like he isn’t side by side holding press conferences actually explaining his positions.
It’s not. You just like it because it feels more normal. To win a fight with a narcissist, you need to break the tools they use to manipulate people. Donald Trump’s main tool for manipulation is how he speaks to the lowest common denominator in the room via social media. It shows his weaknesses.
These three posts in a row truly define what it feels like to live in 2025. @georgetakei.bsky.social @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social @infinitescream.bsky.social
I fear that they might just be *that* stupid as well.
Here, fixed it.
It’s astounding what the party of small government cares about these days.
The biggest is that it gets all of MAGA criticizing Trump’s exact behavior that they then have to defend when the tweets are coming from another source. If Gavin keeps it up, that will be on full display side by side and while they don’t think, or read, repeating that over and over will have impact
This is the same woman who also publicly fought with an AI chatbot on that other app.
I think she’s missing the greater intellectual and social response of it… meaning, honey, it’s funny you’re just dumb.
Two weeks after we get the Epstein files
We need a deeper look into the term “my attorneys” and “my lawyers” — first because is he talking about WH Counsel, the DOJ, personal attorney — who exactly is he talking about every time he says that is wildly important because it all smells just a little bit.
To be fair, he falls asleep a lot during the middle of the day garnering a full 6-8 hours each 24 hour period.
The way that those two other talking heads are like but but but I need to lie louder than you is abhorrent. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again… Jessica Tarlov is a saint.
Can someone tell that idiot that there is actually a penalty for being here illegally? It’s a $600 fine in civil court. Not being kidnapped by masked men never to be heard from again.
Jessica Tarlov is a saint.
I’m less concerned about changing his base and more concerned about independent and one issue voters who chose to vote for this or choose to sit out. The cult will cult until the idiot dies, but the cult is not even 49% of the US population and I think we all know that.
Not all heroes wear capes.
*chuckles*
Can you come to Ohio?
If you’re not following @infinitescream.bsky.social - you should be. It might seem overwhelming by looking at their profile, but within the context of your feed, it’s a 👨🏻🍳💋 for your everyday anxiety.
This is the issue to push it on. They care about nothing, but they do seem to care about this wild “deep state” of pedophiles. Even if the answer is there’s actually nothing in those files, then just release them. But their behavior appears to be hiding something and even MAGA is pissed about that.
Can one singular reporter just respond when he says that with, “Epstein wasn’t arrested on federal charges until 2019, after you’d already been President for 3 years. It was your justice department ultimately responsible for the investigation, arrest, prosecution, and sentencing of Epstein.”
It’s his tooth to gum ratio.
This is your privilege talking… and it looks a little racist.
You underestimate the amount of stupid, racist people in this country.
I needed this reply this morning.
👀 Gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Trump is threatening to defund California — we’re a donor state. We put in $80 Billion more than we get… maybe we should withhold those resources.” www.instagram.com/reel/DKlRUa6... We’ve been wondering when this would start to become a thing.
He also believes he’s a prophet. So I mean add delusional to the list.
Not to mention it’s a well known fact that the founders were deists. Let’s bffr it’s just more gaslighting.
I love the (assumed) Taylor Swift reference. Chef’s kiss.
@jessicatarlov.bsky.social I will applaud your work every single day, but for the love of all that is good life, the fact that you haven’t punched Greg in the face on live television yet is a miracle.
What’s funny is that they claim to worship Jesus, but think the church he founded when he named Saint Peter as the first Pope of the Catholic Church is wrong, but they are right about what Jesus would have wanted. These people need to read some books.
The entire internet needs to read this in sequence just this way.
Sorry, don’t care if you’re afraid. Your job is to represent your constituents, not capitulate and placate to a wannabe dictator who is doing damage. You are part of an equal branch of government. As many have said to these reps, the message is loud and clear: DO. YOUR. JOB.
Thank you @booker.senate.gov that was truly incredible.
When did I say those things versus you making wild assumptions? Have a good day.
Sorry, Houthi PC large group that I have thought beyond one cabinet pick and I’m not resting an entire argument on Marco Rubio being a Nazi sympathizer versus a sycophant eager to make his own future and desperately not realizing the American people likely won’t ever elect him again.
Okay. Thanks for the insults. They seem to be very fitting right now.
I grasp every bit of it. The contrary argument is weak. When has anything in the world ever been solved with absolutes? Expecting absolutes and holding people to those standards are typically referred to ideals to strive to not standards to keep. So I stand by my words.
I’d argue that it’s pretty unstable to hold this opinion.
No, you expect perfect to a set of standards that you’ve created. That’s clear. You’ve said, if someone did X then they can’t possibly support Y and that’s your entire argument. That’s not reality.
You’re not being clear. You are making assumptions and adjudicating with your opinion. That’s fine. It’s just terribly misguided.
That said, I can recognize when these humans are doing something that is good for the people and I refuse to criticize good because it’s not perfect because no one is perfect. Expecting otherwise is what is actually insane.
I personally am not blindly supporting anything, but please feign outrage elsewhere. Expecting perfection from any human will lead you to disappointment which is where you are. Blindly expecting humans to behave in a perfect silo of standards that you created is silly.
Perhaps being organized to be able to go point by point for 17 hours and counting after just 60 some odd days is more impactful. Perhaps placing judgement on where, when, and how the argument should start is also counterproductive. Perhaps, your message is exactly the same as the original post
Also, you misspelled his name.
Putting people down for attempting to help is counterproductive. Fighting against the people on the same side is counterproductive. Placing hatred towards the timeline of when they chose to stand up is counterproductive.
Was able to speak for a while this morning as @booker.senate.gov enters Hour 13 of holding the Senate floor. With two glasses of water and sheer determination, he’s telling the world that America is fighting back against this President. Go Cory!
The morning has arrived and he’s still speaking. Headed to the Senate floor to join Senator Booker in his marathon speech to stand up for people of this country. Thanks Cory!
Putting people down for attempting to help is counterproductive. Fighting against the people on the same side is counterproductive. Placing hatred towards the timeline of when they chose to stand up is counterproductive.

Your fearless leader literally had a hand-written Tesla price sheet to grift the American people during a press conference.

Hey Queen, do you know what a poll tax is? Please name one form identification that is offered in the United States to all citizens that costs $0. Even if it were to cost 1¢ it would be a poll tax. So rub those last two brain cells together and realize you’re a moron.
What are the odds that if they had just used proper communication channels we wouldn’t even know about this? Jesus Christ. The excuses are exhausting.
@aoc.bsky.social hi - is there a contact page on one of your websites where people who are not located in your district are able to send you an email?
Seems like an efficient use of tax dollars.
I mean, it makes sense. I, a wfh, news junkie turned off CNN on November 5th and haven’t turned it back on since. I listen friends for 8 hours a day now on TBS while I work 😂
I’ll leave you with this, Jasmine Crockett represents TX30. As a Portlander, she doesn’t represent you. She has pages on YouTube, BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook, and X. Look at her profiles… if you were her, where would you choose to reach the most people?
Every single one of them has a website, phone number, email, and physical office in this country. It seems your goal is to shame people who don’t live in an ideal altruistic way. That’s not reality. Reducing the work to which social platform they use as acceptable to you is stupid.
She very literally posted the exact same message to followers on the other platform. Also, let’s be for real, someone from her staff posted that. They use tools to cross post. She’s not corralling people to use meta. She’s trying to do her job by meeting the constituents of TX30 where they are.
Agreed.
Also, dumbing down the work of government to one being served based on the social platforms one is using is pathetic. Representatives can’t work in a world of ultimatums propositioned by people who want them to be infallible instead of the human beings that they are. Are you perfect always?
Where have you seen a social media live that was held live across platforms? You need to be realistic. She went live on IG. IG live reaches 100M daily. If the videos are cross posted elsewhere then great. If not, fine. It doesn’t change the work Jasmine is doing which is good work for ALL the people
We are allowed to do that. By asking an elected official to just boycott half of her constituency we will get no where. Messaging is important, and what we are doing is important. But she’s an elected official who needs to represent all the people of TX30 - not just the ones in the resistance.
1. It’s her job to serve her constituents. 2. It doesn’t matter if they listen to her or not - she is trying to share the message. 3. I didn’t ask her to reach across the aisle on lawmaking, I noted that she is meeting her constituents where they are. 4. She’s needs to represent her people.
YouTube Live averages 42M daily views. Twitch averages 2M daily views. Instagram Live averages over 100M daily views.
She likely will, but admonishing elected officials for going live on meta owned and (f)Elon owned platforms to talk to the people is just silly. Jasmine Crockett, in particular, a representative from Texas absolutely should be on those platforms because that’s where her constituents are.
Instagram daily users represents over 500 million people. Bluesky has 33 million people using it. You do the math.
Please stop telling our elected representatives who are trying to reach the people, especially those on the other side of the aisle, to stop using apps where those people are. It’s counterproductive, elitist, and exactly what the stupid people are accusing us of being. She’s doing her job.
Girl, we don’t use meta apps anymore. Sorry. No judgement though. You’re working for the people and trying to reach them where they are. Thank you.
Does that man in the bottom right corner know that he’s stupid?
It also needs to be simple and use words a sixth grader would know. “Tariff is a fancy word for tax,” is an example. Which leads my brain to think, the messaging needs to be simple while attacking the rich.
The problem is that their supporters don’t understand how any of it works so they can say things like this without repercussion.
It’s great that you support Medicaid and Medicare. But when you vote to censure the people who are actually fighting instead of fighting with them, you’re working against us, not for us.
Is it hard to work with extremely stupid people every single day? I don’t envy you at all, but I am thankful your very specific voice is there. You’re even tempered, smarter, and hit the nail on the head almost every time. Please don’t back down.
Are you showing up to work for the people who elected you again? Or are we still leaving it in god’s hands?
It’s funny we are calling a 1946 law obscure as if the whole world didn’t just finish fighting a war against a man named Hitler just before that law was passed.
Let’s just wait until the arts refuse to perform for him. The cognitive dissonance this crowd puts on display becomes sillier and sillier… every. single. day.
Literally. No one cares.
I have thoughts… and LVP being the villain wasn’t one of them. But y’all pop off on that hatred for her 😅
Let’s talk about the lack of being able to take personal responsibility.
I don’t need my third screen, but it is a nice little place to keep my email. I have a travel monitor that I got on Amazon for $50. It connects via HDMI or USB-C. Two of those plus a laptop would be like having three notebooks in a bag and you totally could do that.
He’s a genius… remember? We just don’t get it.
Keep fighting. And please tell your friend, Mr. Jeffries, in regards to his tweet about putting things in god’s hands… god didn’t elect him. The American people did. We need you guys to fight.
You win the internet today
It’s almost as if they didn’t think about their actions before they took them… shocker.
Might I suggest using the stock image provider freepik? They have a filter to turn off AI generated images. I use them for my graphic design projects and highly recommend.
I love Starbucks for a variety of reasons. None of them have ever been because of its coffee house vibe.
