It is impossible to overstate the centrality of social media to our political collapse. Policy is being set in order to provide content for the MAGA social media hordes, who then spiral into greater radicalism, which then results in more extreme policy. Complete disregard for any other goal.
I think there's more than two. Texas does for sure.

An important detail of today's shooting is that Utah is one of only two states in the country that allow campus carry. I hope that this decision is revisited.
Forty. Four. PERCENT?!?!
I've said this from the beginning. If the Epstein list was public from the start, these people would have already moved to defending the men and smearing the girls. They only cared because they liked playing Citizen Detective on the internet.
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and đđđđđđ
Uhhhhh....good?
I miss the old brand #CDC
It's the courts, Marty! We've gottta do something about the courts!
Gerrymandering is now done by professionals who use software to prevent "dummymanders" (districts that might trend the wrong way for their party). If you normalize mid-decade redistricting, a party could stay in power forever by re-adjusting the maps every two years. Basic stuff!
She has aged 10 years already
Holy shit.
Billionaires are all buying land and houses to build their own compounds because climate change is going to change the landscape and entire communities will die. RFK Jr will help kill whoever doesnât get washed away. This is reality if climate change isnât our priority. Billionaires are prepared.
I was in a big sorority in Texas and I'm a Democrat.
Maybe. Probably. But I'll be honest, I'm a cheap date at this point.
I just canât believe our Reichstag Fire is the Big Balls Beatdown.
"Facts don't care about your feelings" was RIGHT THERE
Oh god. For a few years now, I've been finding some comfort in the fact that Dan Carlin didn't appear to be freaking out.
If Kamala Harris had used our tax dollars to raise a riverâs water level so that her family kayak vacation would be more fun, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 for two weeks straight.
The bread I assume
Ugh so gaudy. Embarrassing.
me, crawling into the ER, bleeding profusely and gasping for air: help ER nurse, not looking up, tapping the QR code on the side of a gurney: have you downloaded the app
The 17yo passed, thank god. Need to test the 11yo.
Bleak. Note to self: go ask my children how to spell dawned on.
Why does Angela Paxton get to be the only one to biblically divorce this man? As a Texan, I'd really like to kick him out of our house.
That part at the end was WILD
Yep. Just finished. Totally agree.
Agreed. I came away more sure than ever that the whole ideology is completely hollow. I don't think Ezra let him off the hook at all.
We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans. Instead, weâre getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.
Trump is levying more taxes on US consumers than any president in US history. And he has built a massive propaganda machine to explain to people that he's not dong what he's actually doing. www.ft.com/content/50f8...
To end the Israel/Gaza fiasco, we need all guilty parties to come to the table: Netanyahu, Hamas, and Ivy League college presidents. by Bret Stephens
The Trump administration defunded her local hospital, denied her county its emergency FEMA money, and added trillions to the debtâa motivating issue for her. It also deported a homeless Guatemalan day laborer she found unsightly. Asked whether she'd vote for Trump again, she thinks long and hard.
Why do they all have the same face.
I know that's not the pronunciation, but that's what my brain reads.
I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.
Seems like republicans haven't quite figured out that this is going to eventually backfire on them. High education, high propensity voters are not the ones voting for them anymore.
They do leave voice notes though
donât worry! the economy is fine! the price of baby wipes and coffee may be going up but I hear theyâre giving out free planes
Jeffries: Thereâs only two options at this point, either Donald Trump, Pam Bondi and that whole crew have been lying to the American people about what is actually in the Jeffrey Epstein files, or alternatively, they are hiding something from the American people right now.
i sure do love those 30 seconds after waking up when i havenât yet remembered about The Things
It's like my teenager is talking to me.
Watching Rubio's soul leave his body day by day is the only joy I can find in these moments.
Is she under the impression that migrant farm labor jobs come with a nice Blue Cross PPO plan?
BREAKING: Jury has reached a verdict on Sean Combs, so we'll soon know if he's presidential material.
Speechless. Truly.
I'm paywalled. Why was it so much? High deductible and his policy didn't cover anything at all? Was there no state health clinic that does free vaxes?
congrats on the election, America
At my store they always have "our associates recommend" shelves with their handwritten reviews. I've bought several on their recs.
I've tried to move my book buying from Amazon to B&N recently. (Don't have a local independent book store, or I'd do that, obviously)
Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

God. Shut up, Susan
Gen X is cynical, right? That's their defining trait. Republicans wallow in cynicism. Any candidate who professes hope or earnestness is either stupid or grifting. (That's my analysis fwiw)
Gen X continuing their reputation destroying tour.
So, if any Member of Congress is feeling frustrated that they have no voice, they can always move to Iran, where the Parliament votes on acts of war. www.newsweek.com/iran-parliam...
Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasnât them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? Theyâve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.
Here's my crew of Texas girls heading down to the subway in Dec. It was fine. We were all fine. We did get a little confused abour the stops, and some helpful unaccompanied NYC tweens straightened us right out.
Ok girl.
Just an administration full of the most careless people.
And, God, sometimes it's pure torture.
why did we let anyone other than the engineers of the noble honda civic even attempt building for space flight www.theverge.com/news/689183/...
âICE agents have to wear masks and no uniform because they have become so deeply unpopular that itâs safer to appear to be a vigilante kidnapperâ is a hell of an argument
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
As theyâre trying to do the right thing

Kristi Noem already admitted to feeding the JFK files into AI. Imagine being such a slave to your dick you see an AI image + let computers form your ideology + decision making.
âA deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if youâre an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who wonât identify themselves telling you to get in a vanâ, what a fuckin country
Would we say...beautiful?
âTeslaâs driverless ârobotaxisâ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school busâand hit it.â @cbsaustin @velez_tx
So correct me if I'm wrong. Obama has forestalled this war with the Iran nuclear deal. Trump killed that deal. So Iran started building a nuke. Which caused Israel to preemptively attack. Despite Trump telling them not to. Which all could have been prevented if Trump hadn't killed the original deal
I wrote about Scott Jennings and what itâs like to watch him lie Read at @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/scott-jennin...
Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."
Never not embarrassing that we let these goofy losers think they're in charge.
She looks 13 years old. What is happening.
Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously
When Joe Biden did stuff like this, Fox would play the clips over and over like it was as significant as the moon landing
Itâs obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depotâs of all places is about. Itâs rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.
Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.
If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.
Wait... is this the best meme ever made?
Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies canât keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.
itâs funny that theyâre both on their own personal websites posting their little posts
I will never forget this Thursday afternoon
this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake
I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.
Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites who would call me bad. But you should read my articles anyway! open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...
From Tom Wolfe, The Right Stuff; âKhrushchev was right about one thing: when it came time to hang the capitalist West, an American businessman would sell him the rope.â
Oof. Cut the ad now.
Isn't this targeted harassment? Incitement to violence? This has to be against some kind of law.

Until someone said "don't have kids," and she pointed out that it's not always as easy as saying that.
Victims aren't allowed to post about their experiences on social media or they were retroactively asking for it? Nice.
