You know who DIDN'T have trouble registering voters or raising money this summer? @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. Whom the clowns in this photo haven't yet endorsed. The answer is RIGHT THERE but party leaders are pretending they can't see it.

As someone who has stopped using Twitter ~3 years ago, after having been on it daily for the prior 16 years, it is *so* clear how much the current hateful and extreme state of the platform warps the views of its users, and NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I see the effect so much working in tech.
You sure about this, Google?
Dropping in to say FUCK @hickenlooper.senate.gov and @bennet.senate.gov for being limp cowards who have done NOTHING to oppose Hitle…err, Trump. Senate Dems suck, and rewarding them with other plum jobs would be idiotic. We need a new party that will actually REPRESENT working folks.
Fuck you you fucking motherfucker
The thing about trump wanting the racist name for the Washington Commanders back is that instead, he should release the Epstein files. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-w...
Trump fucked little kids and everyone knows it.
Trump expanding on his threat to defund the Washington Commanders unless they change their name back to the “Redskins.” Oh, wait. Sorry. It’s him trying to distract people from the Epstein scandal. Proof that you can be a racist dick AND a rapist pedophile. #RadioFreeAmerica

This administration is slowly turning me into a single-issue voter who believes inheritance should be illegal.
As someone who lived in New Orleans during the thing you call Katrina, I’m here to say that the time to politicize governmental failure in a tragedy is when anyone is still paying attention.
This does not inspire much confidence in the NYT. www.semafor.com/article/07/0...
The bill may be Trump‘s, but Trump is president because of Joe Biden
Just wanna give a hearty thank you to Joe Biden for choosing to run for reelection because he thought the 2022 midterm results were about him
Hey Raskin, you’re right, but the gop had a huge assist from all the Dems who propped up a corpse rather than have a real primary. But at least all the regular suspects got their consulting fees, eh? A pox on both your houses. -one of the 17 million whose health plan just evaporated
Happy "All Countries Matter" day to all who celebrate.
If you live in a blue metro area or a blue state more generally, the message coming out of the GOP is pretty clear: We're not trying to live with you or come to a common agreement about how to live; we're going to extract YOUR resources to pay ourselves and shape the country to our tastes.
If this catastrophic bill passes in the House ..... let the drumbeat of revolution begin. If Democrats can not muster the courage, we will ask them to step aside and allow "We the People" to reclaim our country. #AmericanApolcalypse begets an #AmericanRevolution www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Fuck @hickenlooper.senate.gov and @bennet.senate.gov. Y’all knew Biden was a wreck and shoved him down our throats anyway, and now you’ve taken away my health insurance so your rich buddies can get a tax cut. You are every bit as responsible for this mess as Trump and the GOP.
You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country
Somehow the man makes Dick Cheney look like a reasoned, dignified and competent statesman, which is not something I thought anyone else would have the ability to do in my lifetime.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Trump wants to ruin another Biden project by selling off new US Postal Service delivery vans and EV charging stations. An auction would generate no revenue; it's just for spite. Maybe a way to back the petrochemical industry, too. Drill, baby, drill! Hot this summer? Thank Trump. wapo.st/4ei36u2
hey @nytimes.com what if instead of this you reported accurately that the president of the united states has violated the united states constitution by entering into war with a foreign power without the approval of congress, just like, what if
Elect a Republican, start a war. Every Republican president since i was a child has started a new war.
amtrak’s marketing team gets it
👀 Scoop: Trump and Republicans want USPS to sell off its brand new EVs and chargers. That would mean literally **ripping up post office parking lots** to auction off assets with no private-sector value. It’s buried in the Senate’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
The financial press has to deal with the real world, because their readers get angry if they lose money because they've been lied to. So they deal with facts rather than making up incendiary lies for clicks.
Pravda did it better first. Fuck Jeff Bezos and fuck his asshole gobbling minions at WaPo. When the revolution comes I hope that son of a bitch doesn’t get a blindfold or a cigarette.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Thread recapping this very illuminating Yarvin piece, by Ava Kofman in @newyorker.com (Previous posts removed for tech reasons.) —If you've lived in a small town, you know the character of the "barroom savant." Knows the inside story on everything. Knows what "they" are covering up.... 1/n
Hoping to hear from @senatorhick.govpeeps.us & @michaelbennet.bsky.social about how they plan to tie up the Senate with extreme prejudice now. Not actually expecting either to get off their ass and do anything, but a voter can hope. prospect.org/politics/202...
The new pontiff isn’t a Cubs fan and the Sox faithful couldn’t be prouder. From the tailgaters to the clubhouse, there’s a hope that the team’s fortunes are blessed.
"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."
It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts
not saying anyone should, but I bet you could convince Trump to re-open Alcatraz in under 20 minutes
Why bother, when your own party can’t be assed to attend? Performative bullshit like this is why I have left the Democratic Party. Formfuck’s sake.
Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...
Reminds me of that video where Shedeur asks Cam Ward if he wants to dance and do a TikTok video and Ward says no thanks man, I'm a football player.
Wow
You could EASILY get traction on right wing internet by suggesting woke NFL teams are too afraid to draft Shedeur Sanders because Trump endorsed him
New next Pope is going to get picked before Shedeur Sanders.

When they start arresting judges we’re all in a lot of trouble
I built a tool for myself tonight that I would never have gotten done in the amount of free time that I’ve got available, and it’ll help me do more writing. It’s built with code & data I trained and gathered consensually, myself, on my own machine. This is why I’m saying we need better AI critique.

This is why they don’t want to do due process.
I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.
Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

If you think you can't make a political issue out of "people shouldn't be grabbed off the street and put in a foreign gulag forever," maybe consider getting out of politics/punditry. And these aren't technical slogans: they appear in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution (twice).
Man films and confronts two suspected undercover ICE officers (potentially NYPD) after they racially profiled and handcuffed a random civilian. Keep doing this shit. Make these fuckers famous. Make all police and immigration officers fear having their faces known to the masses.
All you Montanans with Gadsden flag license plates on your trucks: this is your moment. This is the tyranny you were worried about when you bought all that ammo. Put up or shut up.
A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.
I am old enough to remember when a movie character said "PAPERS PLEASE" it was a universally understood signifier of an evil regime

An innocent man who committed no crime but is the same race as the person who murdered your daughter should have to spend the rest of his life in a concentration camp is the argument?
With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.
Hey, Justice Roberts, is this what you meant by "“facilitate and effectuate the return" of Mr. Abrego Garcia? Because I'm not a lawyer, but it sure as hell looks like contempt of court to me.
Senator Van Hollen’s commitment to the Abrego Garcia case isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an “assassination attempt” is performative.
Fuck this guy and fuck everyone who voted for Trump. They were thrilled with the prospect of our gay, trans, brown, female immigrant neighbors being murdered but now they don’t like losing money? Fuck him, fuck them, I hope they all watch their kids die of ass cancer.
This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
Van Hollen: "This case is not only about one man, as important as that is. It is about protecting fundamental freedoms and the fundamental principle in the Constitution for due process that protects everyone who resides in America."
This is the problem with electing an administration of too-online edgelords instead of people who actually want to govern. You can’t just “sh—post” your way to a deal with China

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a first-year apprentice and member of SMART Local 100 — a union representing skilled sheet metal workers across Washington D.C., Baltimore, and the surrounding areas.
Teamsters getting their money’s worth for that appearance at the MAGA convention. 🤷🏻♀️
The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:
one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now
Thirty years ago today, the New Orleans-based alternative rock band Better than Ezra released its hit single “Good,” marking the first-ever Good Friday, which has now grown into a major holiday celebrated throughout the world.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
Tree of liberty blah blah blah.
they want us poor, sick and desperate
i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

Everyone criticizing the Dems for inaction failed to account for how quickly they can get motivated to move against the Left
They just rightfully assume that Dems will never ever ever take their gloves off and fight back. Biden really fucked up by not deploying a SEAL team or two when SCOTUS handed him the chance.
I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.
See the movies or don't, read your kids whatever you want, but this self-portrait of a gloating hatemonger is the identity she has chosen.
INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The United States government is sending people from our country to a concentration camp in El Salvador without due process or hope for release. It’s really important for everyday people to realize that if you truly believe in “never again,” never again is right now.
The person on the left has 34 felony convictions. The person on the right has zero felony convictions and isn’t even charged with a crime.
Time for a whole contingent of Senators to fly down and demand to meet with Abrego Garcia. Where are Colorado's Senators right now? Why aren't they also working on this? @hickenlooper.bsky.social is absent as usual and apparently @bennet.senate.gov is too busy lining up his next job to give a fuck.
At this point we need to see proof of life. apple.news/AYh5j9uZ-Tyu...
Advocate [Mar 28] -- Lake City FL Walmart fires 7-year employee w/ spotless record who tutors special needs kids in spare time after a male customer attacks her for being trans because she is 6' 4" tall. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social [HT @denisenorris.bsky.social]
There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.
