Of course, because it’s impossible for a snake oil salesman ever deliver on their promises. Once people start to see into the truth, you have to move onto some new scam.
Goddamn right I’m woke. More immigration = a better America. ALL Republicans are dangerous sociopathic Fascists. Treat them accordingly. #TACO. #SchumerMustGo #BlueStateSecession #DeleteTrump

Especially since it’s 100% accurate. I heard Chicago reporter on NPR today dancing around the subject like a pathetic pussy. Fuck them all.

you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later
mamdani had his fourth meeting with jeffries, and jeffries continues to withhold an endorsement in a race against a corrupt cop, a fascist, and a sex criminal who intentionally handed the state senate to republicans and gerrymandered against the democrats.
A rare Bluesky Block.
NO coordination with local law enforcement. NO cooperation with Governors. CALL IT WHAT IT IS: AN INVASION. Go ahead. You can do it.
More framing like this, please www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Yea, and Democracy IS an “institution”. He’s rationalizing his complacent tacit surrender.
Jerry Nadler has been extraordinary
Mamdani on Nadler: Just read that last sentence. Perfect.
"WEAK LOSER" DONALD TRUMP (CRAPPY HAIR!) IS A BROKEN-INSIDE MANCHILD. (SAD!) HIS TYRANT FATHER (KKK!) DESTROYED HIM AND NOW WE ALL MUST SUFFER AS A RESULT. YOUR FAVORITE WRITER (ME!) EXPLAINS THIS IN A GREAT POST THAT MANY ARE SAYING IS THE GREATEST POST EVER. READ IT HERE: bit.ly/3HD7AQd
Good news. The House of Representatives stands behind the NIH budget with no cuts.
The Washington Post covered the story on the left, but ignored the story on the right. Luckily, Democracy Docket has you covered. Support independent pro-democracy media. Subscribe today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
not just “a” side, the righteous one.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
Every single US city needs to do this, and enforce it.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Federalism. It's what's for dinner.
Who was the first person into the capitol on january 6th !??
FIFA should pull all of the 2026 World Cup matches scheduled to be played on US soil & reassign them to venues in Canada. That includes the World Cup final scheduled to be played at the Meadowlands. This is not a country suited to host an international event now & won’t be until 2029.
My favorite sentence in the New York Times explainer on Mamdani and socialism.
Nothing more frustrating and enraging than when the media mindlessly repeat fascist republican propaganda and false justification.
Raddatz: "There are people out there that don't feel safe." Moore: "My heart breaks for anybody in our community and doesn't feel safe...I know what that feels like. I would love more federal support...on things that actually make sense, not on things that are performative."
Pritzker out here giving a master class in countering the right wing propaganda machine’s efforts to justify further federal invasions and occupations of American cities: he’s effectively reframing the discussion (beyond debates re: crime rates) to one of rising authoritarianism & federal overreach.
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
Once again, the New York Times does its level best to empower Trump‘s fascism.
Reminder that RFK Jr is not a doctor. He is not a scientist. He has zero scientific literacy. He is not qualified to make any assertions about vaccines, disease, pediatrics, hospital parking... NOTHING. He is a fraud.
Remove RFK Jr for dereliction of duties. Immediately.
Seeing the lead strategist for Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign saying Democrats need to abolish ICE and nationalize SpaceX should be a wakeup call to Chuck Schumer. But it won't be.
This N@zi freakazoid doesn't know the scientific method from his börthole.
So it would seem.. #politics #fascism
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
He's more powerful now for ONE reason: every single Republican, including 6 members of the Supreme Court, have effectively renounced everything they ever claimed to believe, and now care only about maintaining power by giving Trump whatever he wants. The End.
He's every bit as much of a brainless, sociopathic narcissist dictator as Trump.
That's right, and it starts with NO DEMOCRATIC CONCESSIONS until every vote is verified and validated.
A pathetic and perfunctory effort to appear like a caring human being with a grounded moral compass.
This administration of extremists, quacks, and grifters continues to endanger the lives and health of millions
Yep, sounds like me...I have this weird tendency to take reasonable measures to avoid getting unnecessarily sick with a potentially fatal disease, or spreading it to others. Shouldn't be an outlier but in a country polluted with MAGAt morons, it is.
I know not many people are aware of this but without a COVID booster every year, you aren't as protected from severe COVID infection. We really need more public outrage about COVID vaccine access.
Yeah, 20 years ago. Now they have to be destroyed.
As long as Republicans are in charge we will never be safe from the real threats that put Americans' lives at risk bc they are only capable of inventing enemies that do not exist to put their fascist agenda in place. "Crime", but only in Blue cities Vaccines that save lives Canadian fentanyl 😂
Call them IMPORT TAXES.
IMPORT TAXES. Why isn’t every Democrat using this word every day instead of “tariffs”?
Y’all are wild
And everyone rushes in with their favorite (usually self-serving bullshit) explanation. ITS THE COMPLICITY, NOT THE POLICIES.
Nothing puts things in perspective like that.
That’s why they invented foundations Mark…stop acting bemused.
Look how happy, uplifted, & energized New Yorkers look in the #ZcavengerHunt photo thread by an attendee. Also, observe how clean & safe blue NYC is. It's hardly a warzone with a deadly, fatal subway ride, as crying, bleating, MAGA "alpha males," like Sean Duffy, falsely claim every wk. #Mamdani
Look, I get it, these evil assholes are targeting trans ppl bc it divides us, even idiotic Dems. And on this, Newsom does seem to be playing into their hand rather than fighting, which is wrong. I’m saying you may face a binary choice in the future and in that scenario your claim is a bit naïve.
Oh… It’s not one demographic group, of course.
No it’s not. It’s all in your head .
It isn't until the 26th paragraph that there is mention that what Trump is doing is being challenged as illegal. And it accepts Trump's stated rationale to act. Here is what I think: Trump is illegally deploying the military in blue cities to set the stage to interfere with the 2026 elections.
It’s already over for people who are stuck in this outmoded pattern of thought. Just need to minimize the damage they will do on the way out in response to the affront to their fragile ego.
the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.
Centrist Thought Police strike again.
And spiteful if you withhold a vote for someone who will measurably improve others lives.
Selfish.
Tell your Senators and Rep they need to support this bill on unmasking ICE and displaying clear ID here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
Congrats for some truly Yglesias-level snark. So. Unpalatable.
Unfollow. Yglesias-level sneering is so 2019.
Depressing in that it is effective. So there’s hope there too.
This proves nothing.
What a stupid question. A better one would be why super wealthy ppl have become so reflexively allergic to supporting the very system that permitted them to become rich in the first place.
It’s no different than having your gain reduced by a small pct that is paid on the tax. You are still ahead. How do you not get this?
This.
How silly, and a fools errand. The right wing propaganda machine can turn any word into a pejorative. The solution is not to run away, but to lean into them wholeheartedly and stop acting embarrassed to use accurate descriptive terms. Attack attack attack! Don’t you get it yet?
Don’t be silly. I get your point, but if it’s Newsom versus another fascist or God forbid even Trump, then you’d be stupid not to.
Indeed. Thus summary is spot on:
A quiet Elon Musk worries me more than a loud public one.
George gets it.
Oh my God, he’s like a child when you put something gold in front of him. It’s both maddening and breathtaking to see such a feeble minded simpleton occupy that august office.
So much of our problems come from the fact Merrick Garland didn’t want to do his job
Propagandists realize that once you start using their own tools against them, it renders them useless. Why can’t they see this obvious fact? hopefully Newsom will teach them a long overdue, but much needed lesson.
The lack of self-awareness @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has baited them into is incredible. This is easily the funniest thing Hannity has ever said.
To him every microphone looks like Putin’s junk.
Donald Trump the loser.
Every Democratic presidential candidate in 2028 needs to commit to expanding/reforming the US Supreme Court. Absent that the person is full of crap.
I find this delightful.
Paul Krugman Warns This Trump Policy 'Will Hurt More Than People Realize’
JUST IN: Every boo that followed Vance and Hegseth at Union Station was earned. You send troops into American streets, you lose the right to walk them without shame.
An executive order isn’t a law.
I love them. They are perfect. This is how you attack propagandists and totalitarians. DO WHAT THEY DO BACK TO THEM.
Gavin Newsom’s late-night message to Fox
If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.
Where is his authority to do anything like this?
It doesn’t matter what he wants. It’s very clear that states control their own elections. Republicans have been saying this for generations. Every time he opens his mouth and says something stupid people treat it as if it’s serious. Like most of what he spews out of his pie hole, THIS IS NOT.
It’s your time, but why waste it arguing with someone as disingenuous as MatttY? His entire shtick is pretending to “argue” that his misunderstanding of anyone who doesn’t think like him is justified, rational, and reasonable. In fact, his is the only reasonable position according to him.
I’m having an excellent time completely ignoring MattY on social media platforms, but I do admit I enjoy seeing his foolishness get slapped down every now and again.
He wasn't shot. He didn't win. He's on the list.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's a wartime president. He's the head of a war party. War on women. War on voting rights. War on Hispanics. A war on this state. War on institutions. Now he wants war on history."
