Harris and Dems supported USAID. Trump ran on cutting it. Trumps cuts will cost 14 million lives (and counting). Your weird fantasy about them doing things they don't (or vice versa) is a delusion and not indicative of reality. But who cares? You got more dead kids to tiktok about.
Taylor Lorenz is getting defended for boosting a Nazi by an awful lot of covid conscious accounts, so yeah, looks like she's become the entry point for introducing that crowd into the fash pipeline.
Black ppl do not have the power to drop a single bomb anywhere on the planet. Hell, there are no nuclear weapons on the whole continent of Africa. Yet, for someone reason, we are constantly being barraged with demands to do more to help people who are being bombed by other folks. Why is that?
Iāll be honest, I forgot how completely batshit wild racist the actual details of this were. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/pat... He was unopposed last time when racists pulled these stunts. He only actually served about 1 year prior to this election because of the lawsuits thanks to the council.
The unmitigated gall of these people to tell a Black woman, whose ancestral DNA is encoded to "create space for other people's suffering". 92% of us voted in the best interest of ourselves and others, including Gaza. And yet, they have the nerve to say shit like this to us?
White Americans look at Germany instead of confronting U.S. History of chattel slavery and jim crow.
I am so tired of people who are not Black using the late American hero, Rep. John Lewis's words as a cudgel against his own party. If Ali wants to help, he should be reporting on the daily outrage of the regime that holds power instead of normalizing it and laying blame w/the minority party.
See what Iām sayinā¦
Yep. And that's why a Rep. recently complained there weren't enough of them out in the streets. But they steady want Black people to go protest. Nope. I am not getting my head bashed in for something when I know Black people will not get the same respect in return from most white people.
Yep. And also to just leave us tf alone.
This is good. Watch it.
RT if u agree
Yep. Republicans are allowed to be racists, misogynists, phobes, felons, dementia patients, and literal child rapists. Democrats arenāt allowed to get a cold. And some of you still want to pretend this is a Dem messaging issue.
Ali Velshi can't even spell Jaime Harrison's name correctly. However, Jaime Harrison is not even the chair of the DNC anymore. So how are his posts a part of the problem? Black people are the base of the DNC. Black politicians are the ones being arrested & harassed. Yet they never miss blaming us.
Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers. In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?
Always remember to toss your catgirl a giant dose of catnip when she starts asking troublesome questions like, āWhy did you turn me into a catgirl?ā
An insurrectionist pointing guns at you and buying you a one way ticket on the USS The Implication is itself a crime.
Exactly this.
This is the former DNC Vice Chair celebrating the loss of a Democratic Seat in Alaska. Yes, she probably was pro-Gun, but then again...she represents ALASKA. I hear Hunting Rifles are occcasionalty used up there:
The Florida Democratic Party is a gigantic mess and he's one of the reasons why
Democrats. Democrats brought us every part of our social safety net. Itās not enough and it took supermajorities. GOP has never stopped trying to dismantle it.
The real problem, @velshi.com, you, like the rest of the media, are complicit in helping Trump get elected. Your rhetoric. Your need for ratings. Your feign of ignorance. Every lost life. Every broken home and kidnapped migrant. Every job loss. Every sick or dead child, because of RFK Jr.
Itās perfectly valid that the House & Senate Minority Leaders & the 2026 DSCC Chair havenāt rushed to endorse a DSA candidate running for a local position, that is not federal, who has a voting track record that includes voting against a ban on ghost guns & cyber exploitation, with MONTHS to spare.
This thread. Ali Velshi and every MS Now* producer should be shamed into oblivion. *Still not over this rebrand. Never will be.
So I just got my chicken wings out of the oven for supper, how 'bout everyone else?
'If you're Jewish you're not a actual human being' is a hell of a self report you Nazi piece of shit.
Based on your own genetic history you're ten times worse no doubt.
'The findings add weight to a growing body of evidence that beavers may be acting as ecosystem engineers, reshaping waterways in ways that benefit not just their own survival, but that of entire landscapes.'

What a conundrum ~ #TuaArt | #Lalatua | #Shortstack | #OC
The problem is there's almost 18,000 individually run police services in the US operating 3,144 counties across 50 states, to say nothing of the various territories, employing over a million law enforcement officers. To start with, /could/ the Federal government take over all that legally?
A fundamental question is if you believe a state (assuming youāre not an anarchist) should be allowed to use force, and what kind, to enforce its laws. If you donāt believe it should be able to do so, the conversation wonāt go anywhere. (Not a judgement, just an observation)
It felt good to ask a first generation American why he was slamming the door on people seeking asylum and wanting the same promise of America that he received. Spoiler: he didnāt have an answer. It was a bit of a brick between his eyes reminding him that heās first gen. š„°
AMEN.
Another journalists giving the oligarch owners what they want by attacking Democrats. You want them to āfight with both handsā when you gave them one hand. And the call to a Black leader to receive violence on your behalf using the words of a Black leader is racist.
The guy who used Arlington for a photo op, who announced budget cuts to the VA days ago that threaten the funds from the Honoring Our Pact Act because Republicans are still mad about getting bullied into not revoking their support of it, continues to suck.
This enormously pernicious and no one should still be on Substack - not just because of the Nazis, but for sheer practical business reasons.

Congratulations, your conscience is only costing ten times the population of Gaza in USAID cuts alone. Hope 14 million dead is enough to help you sleep at night.
Personally, I expand this to include everyone who didn't vote for Harris, and every Democrat they could for House, Senate, and local races as well. Because even if they didn't actively vote for Trump, they didn't care to even try to lift a finger to stop him. They were fine with his winning.
I am rather glad that so many people seemed to love my silly little cosplay bit at the #DragonCon2025 Sprout Social.
ok. this is scratching at my brain and I am not going to be able to let it go until I actually lay out my full position, so in this thread: ellie explains what she actually thinks about the artistic merit of generative work & the merits of human skill. the answers may surprise you!
Yāall have upset and ruined the lives of so many people, itās not even fucking funny. While youāre over here cheering on a nonexistent revolution that will NEVER fucking happen because you all lack the brain cells, history, and strength to do it, minorities are being hunted down. Fuck ALL of you!
Publishers getting banned from Texas cons have me thinking about the future of Powerhouse, the studio responsible for Castlevania, and also my career for the past 5 years. This is very close to my heart. The bill is poisonous.
Blue states should team up on purchasing, protocols, distribution
Graham is exactly why I made this post earlier, btw. Heās going the Bernard Sanders way and told people that the Democratic Party abandoned the working class. Also, I agree with this comment. What IS the point?? āYou voted for the Party that abandoned you so vote for me who is in that Partyā??
"why yes, I haven't informed myself of the actual criticism of Lorenz's article, but I'm convinced that most of what's going on is right-wing Gamergate smears" Bonus Lorenz follower demanding OP mask in "solidarity", showing just how obnoxious the groups Lorenz empowers are.
Adult games can no longer launch in Early Access on Steam. This is devastating for small projects (like my own!) because EA can be a much-needed lifeline while games are still in development
I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste
Still no word from the Washington Post about Trump's latest attack on democracy. But, it is now offering advice to Trump about how to effectuate his tariff plan. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
The Classic "trans issue troll" boasts about their agenda (see below) The problem isn't that someone is "fighting for civil rights for marginalized people." Nope. These folks use the trans cause as a pretense and weaponize it in order to attack Dem leaders, spread misinformation, gaslight, etc.
Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
We are not lumpy
If you actually paid attention to her you'd know that's wrong, but you were too eager to equate all Arabs with Hamas.
Who said anything about Arabs? The poll is about Hamas. Unless you think all Arabs are represented by Hamas.
.@velshi.com āHead in the sandā? Please. Part of the problem is limp news coverage that turns every Dem wobble into a five-alarm fire while treating GOP extremism as background noise. Thatās what depresses our base.
A reminder that the Biden Administration started negotiating a ceasefire and hostage release within days of October 7th, which was successful 5 weeks later. š Hamas could have easily released all the hostages then. They didnāt and still havenāt. bsky.app/profile/maud...
Democratic leadership IS involved. Like by definition, as she laid out.
Did you actually respond publicly to her laying out the issues with it and everything you ignored, or did you desperately try to move the conversation to private under the guise of it being the basis for another report that will no doubt be as cherry picked as the original?
Especially when someone makes a comment about Judaism or being Jewish that doesn't involve Israel and someone else tries to make it about Israel. And they never can figure out what they've done.

Tonight's movie was The Hidden Fortress with what is so far, Kurosawa's best female character.
Things happening about this time last yr re the Harris campaign (8/30/24) Long one: An article about why the federal crimes the Trump campaign committed at Arlington were worse than you realized given he involved two gold star families in covering up a felony. www.editorialboard.com/at-arlington...
Amazing how every point of Taylor's article has been debunked, she herself has been taking money from the same sources she's been criticizing, yet somehow she's still running around telling lies while pretending to be an authoritative voice.
If you're in the states, the Better Business Bureau is your friend
CALIFORNIA FRIENDS - IGNORE THE DISINFORMATION. VOTE YES ON 50 Stop Trump from Rigging the 2026 Election
Someone pointed out that he could have been alive today (age 84), and it really put in perspective how recent 'history' can be.
Definitely some hit dogs hollering there. bsky.app/profile/coeu...
This week in Ottawa, Canada, a woman was stabbed at a store because sheās Jewish. The man who attacked her had a social media pattern of extreme antisemitic content. Donāt respond ābut what aboutā¦ā Check in with Jewish friends and colleagues. We are not OK. Shabbat shalom feels insufficient.
I like that Natalie said '50% of the discourse on this app is antisemitic', and Taylor went 'HOW COULD YOU SAY THIS JUST ABOUT LEFTISTS AND NO ONE ELSE'. When Twitter is like 99% rightwing if not more.
Harris did not prioritize genocide. You did. And you got it.
'Randos', also known as voters, are the ones who got the US into the position it is. Why the fuck would I not be angry at you sabotaging the better option over a war on the other side of the world being waged by two groups that are NOT US controlled, dumbass?
āI have (plural noun) and (plural noun), but so many are (adjective)ā is a sentence structure in which the nouns have a attribute applied to them by the latter adjective. This is basic english. Itās cute youāre avoiding the rest of my post though.
Murdering babies isn't morally wrong? If you vote for her that's what you're voting for, according to you. Seriously you say shit like this and then go 'No no everyone should vote for her I think she's great :D', and expect us to believe it? You pissing on our leg isn't rain.
You listed your friends and family, and /in the same sentence/ talked about how 'so many are dumb, racist and misogynistic'. It's quite simple to read that as 'My friends and family are the ones I am talking about'. As for the party 'failing all on its own', you're not paying attention.
'I constantly badmouth Harris, insist it was morally wrong to vote for her, insist her actions were unforgiveable and completely wrong in every regard, say there is no way anyone should have voted for her- Oh but /I/ definitely voted for her! You should believe me. Don't blame me for her loss.'
yall this dude at the dragon con sprout social is cosplaying the mare loading bar
'I can't actually talk to my friends are family who are racist, misogynistic and dumb! That's too hard :( It's much easier to yell at a Black man online.'
You picked ten times the population of Gaza losing their lives so you could make sure Harris lost. Why are you still bitching? It'll only cost 14 million lives to get you the outcome you wanted. Well, 14 millions from USAID cuts alone. The rest of the tally is still being counted.
It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house weāve built together. Iām sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, Iām calling you out.
When politicians fear the people, they cheat. The Missouri GOP is shredding maps and crushing ballot initiatives to cling to power. But people outnumber politicians and rebellion starts at the ballot box. Screw you Kehoe.
Oh no, you see, the stroke of the pen has truly awesome powers because the bully pulpit- Hmm? He did try 'stroke of a pen'? Oh! So- What? Shut down? SCOTUS? Exactly as predicted? ... You see, the stroke of the pen and the bully pulpit only work if properly used, and because Biden did not want-
'I didn't say Harris and Biden are exactly the same as Trump!' Literally just a few posts above-
Guys I can't see shit.
Hello. I am a nonbinary person who moved a few months ago from FL to the north with my husband. We had to take out a substantial loan to move and the bills have unfortunately piled up higher than anticipated due to an injury I sustained. I currently owe $400 in medical debt. Anything helps. š
I mean you thought 'Trump is exactly the same as Harris' was apparently a thought you felt confident enough to hit send on, the bar is buried beneath all the dead Gazans and other victims of Trump. Not that you ever actually cared.
Famously, the conflict between Israel and Hamas is the only issue in the whole world that matters. It's not like he's putting up a travel ban against them agai- Oh.
I don't want Newsome to be the candidate, but if he is I'm going to support him because even Manchin would be better than literally any Republican. THAT'S the only binary I have time for.(/F)
last November, when Harris was looked at in such a binary light, and people gave her an 'automatic F' before we wound up with Trump, who is by every metric worse. So yes. I am exhausted by this whole thing now when we're not even at the mid terms.(/2)
I'm saying I remember arguments and debates about Avenatti three years before the primaries and how exhausting they were. I'm saying I remember the fight over Fetterman and how the people who championed him then now point to him as proof Dems are awful. And I remember (/1)
Oh hey look, I'm not lying. You, however, are about to weedle and whine and say no, she never actually wanted peace because of this and that and the other, because you are more interested in sustaining your own reality than actually getting peace.
Oh yeah, definitely someone 'the people' were wanting!
This is Fucking Evil!! I Better not catch Any white LGBTQ+ people pulling this shit! No, no, no, no, no!! š”
Actually, the reason we don't have gun restrictions is every time a President signs them into law, their party loses the next election. Voters demand a politician does X, they do X which angers other voters, and then when they ask for those voters support - they refuse because X is "crumbs".
But have you considered how firebombing a walmart, which I won't actually do, is actually superior to voting? And with that terrible joke I'll show myself out.
My handle makes a lot of sense doesnāt it? You canāt protest your way to power.
