Ok last one but this just came across my feed:
The common denominator in every place where birth rates are dropping is women’s increased access to education.
If President Trump was really dead, don't you think RFK Jr. would have hacked off his head and mounted it to the roof of his car by now? You guys are sick.
Tommy V said Elon is a brilliant engineer and Tim Scott is a good person. I quit listening before they really got Bulwarkanized tho.
He’s just another mediocre pundit with unfortunately large platform. Just a few examples:
Pence risked his life and lost his career to certify votes for Biden on Jan6. I disagree with everything he believes but honor him for keeping his vow. Vance would’ve enabled the coup.
💯!!!! Why is he the new Nate Silver all of a sudden? The old one is dumb and wrong enough.
The market space for hate clicks appears to have no limits.
Stunning to me that anyone’s listening to Jain.

I am serious when I say that none of those actions would be more radical than what Trump is currently using his executive power to do—almost always with permission from the Supreme Court. And if the judiciary stands in the way, why not follow Judge Emil Bove's maxim and "tell courts 'fuck you'"?
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
He ruled it illegal but also Trump still can do it.

Guess what USMC and National Guard? You followed illegal orders. It’s almost like we all stood in the streets and yelled it in your faces. apple.news/AI2Kh-eP0R-y...
Couldn’t care less where Ezra Klein is on SCOTUS tho.
Like Nikki Haley whining about missing a bbq because she had to be at UN. These Republicans want all the power to destroy ppl’s lives with zero impact on their own cushy existences.
One of the most reasonable observations and recommendations regarding SCOTUS justices that I have read in quite a while.
Why should anyone care where he is on SCOTUS?
Ezra Klein sucks.
One thing that's really reassuring about SCOTUS is how their actual, real, serious, genuine position on ethics is "we are not bound by any mortal law nor any code or creed, this is our world, you merely live in it."
New story w/ @hilaryburns.bsky.social: A DOJ lawyer accused Harvard of ‘indifference to antisemitism.’ As a Harvard undergrad he wrote a paper from Hitler’s perspective. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...
He’s picking and choosing his conservatisms. Trump and Reagan agree on so much! Goldberg must be one of those “Goldwater was racist!!!?” conservatives.
So disgusting. He thinks prayer stops school shootings but didn’t pray for—or even recognize the humanity of—these ppl.
Jonah Goldberg is a hot air filled idiot out there somehow still finding ways to not slag on Trump while finding any petty excuse to slag Dems.
He also said Trump is loyal to RFKjr. So stupid, Trump is loyal to no one.

Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Yeah. They exist. Because sexism still exists. To wit, sexist jackoffs like Tim Miller who demean and degrade women while also gossiping and talking about his nuts.
it is so funny how the pod save bros are constantly gargling them
Never trust Never Trumpers.
Tbf that was just sexism/racism.
Nikki “bomb everyone” Haley?
Who is “us”?
Idk Sterne but the others are trolls. Sad that ppl keep onboarding troll tweets.
Has he been constantly chatting with AI?
A man killed his teenage daughter sneaking in through the garage a few years ago. Please no more “guns are for my family’s protection” while you slaughter your family.
He’s a big fan of the school to prison pipeline.
Remember when they were all (and Ted Cruz) posting pics of their bacon wrapped gun barrels.
Democracy is cringe, all the cool kids are unintelligible institutionalists.
Hard work DOES lead to economic gain. But not for the workers... Americans should unionize. Because the government won't do shit.
Headlines like this always talk about economic conditions like they're natural disasters and not deliberate oppression by the upper class who control everything and face no consequences. Calling it pessimism feels like victim blaming.
At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.” -George Orwell

big tech hasn't come up with anything paradigm-shifting and useful since the smartphone in 2008 and I'm tired of all the shit they keep shoving down our throats trying to recapture that high

It’s SO MUCH. It’s why bahn mi matters.
This is an extremely gracious way for Nadler to put things, and is exactly right for the current moment. He's helping his party and cementing his legacy at the same time.
⚠️ Per the NYT: Rep. Jerry Nadler will NOT be running for re-election.
Jerry Nadler ends his remarkable career, conceding that his brand of politics on the Middle East is over. “I don’t know what to say at this point,” he said. “I can’t defend what Israel is doing.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
Loved Maximus. Loved Reservation Dogs.
Reducing women to their capacity to breed is monstrous to do to cis women and a sign of patriarchal overreach and right-wing rhetoric. Yet it's the sole, essential bar in the exclusion and dehumanization of trans women. You cannot be a leftist or feminist and be anti-trans liberation.
Only a 30-second standing O here.
Someone please kill me right now.
The scholars group, founded in 1994, has previously held that China's treatment of the minority Muslim Uyghurs and Myanmar's crackdown on Rohingya Muslims meet the threshold for genocide.
Grab the flag by it’s poley.
We dumped a president for being too old only to elect one who immediately died. You can't say that's not funny
Strom Thurmond with his three orange hairs was toted around for years.
Makes me so angry that society at large has just blithely bought in to this bs.
Forcing AI on our kids because techbros need to finish what greedy gunmakers started.
Fucking first world problems.
Sorry, but wtaf? This does absolutely nothing but ensure that even more people, including children, have to use irregular crossings, and blocks people who even this government have recognised are refugees from being with their families. This is utterly sickening from Labour. 1/
Stand your ground ppl purport braveness while being the most cowardly cringeasses in history.
Love Dennis Farina in Big Trouble talking about how only female mosquitoes bite.
“Gaza Riviera” is such a uniquely horrifying phrase, contemplating it is like looking at a death mask for the world.
“America is now a society in which an administration that is engaged in naked abuses of power, the desecration of our public health institutions, the betrayal of our foreign allies, and carnivalesque displays of corruption still polls in the low-to-mid-40s.” furious +1

Lindsey Graham helped Trump steal money for base housing to “build the wall.”
It's almost funny how much he is the antichrist
The Trump administration tried to snatch unaccompanied minors from foster homes, put them on planes and deport them illegally, on the weekend, during the night lawyers worked through the night to prevent it, while kids sat on the tarmac words fail me
15 years ago today I took an incredibly on-the-nose photo
Sanction the fucking lawyers. Make it so no one will represent this evil administration in court.
Worth thinking about how Chris Van Hollen, hardly a ultra left-wing firebrand, has accumulated a ton of credit over the last few years from the growing pro-Palestine constituency of the DP by simply 1) Demanding that there be justice for Shireen Abu Akleh, 2) Demanding that US law is adhered to.
Ossoff voted for the bill to bless this corruption with the veneer of legality. He left his newborn baby to cast the vote. Critique must be matched with action.
rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides
A truly evil administration top to bottom
Fell in love with her in Ingrid Goes West.
Actually, Frankenstein was far more a real doctor than RFK Jr is, and RFK Jr is far more a monster than Frankenstein ever was.

Israel threatening to formalize its already-existing regime of annexation & apartheid over the Palestinians of the occupied West Bank in response to European recognition of the State of Palestine is the diplomatic the equivalent of “if you fire me from my job, then I will go home and beat my kids.”
why can't the democrat messaging on trans people be "no, we are not going to force children to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports"
My husband was Riker for Halloween and also irl I guess.
Meanwhile in Russia: Zakhar Prilepin explained that regardless of any ceasefire, Russia will eventually resume its efforts to take all of Ukraine. He scoffed at Trump's peacekeeping proposals and emphasized that Russia will never be friends with America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKrS...
This is good stuff. Tom Wolfe was a “Dixiecrat wordcel” who helped create the trend of conservatives attacking the style of liberals and leftists (today’s “green haired” pronoun obsessives) to make up for the fact that they couldn’t validly attack the substance (poverty, racism etc.)
On both sides of the lib/leftist divide.
