Listening to THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY
Not radicalizing jihadis!!!!!! 😩😩😩 She's not even trying to hide it anymore
So no Civil War?
Indeed.
yeah, i think this is a house of cards, but if the elites never call the bluff and the public doesnt force their hand, then trump gets to be king for four years.
The function of Jacobin is to convert leftists into liberals
Yup!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...
ooh there ain't no other way!!
There is such bitter comedy in seeing him lose his grip on this situation so fast.
This is absolute insanity.
"I am calling for the toothpaste to be put back in the tube, effective immediately!"
Another win for free speech!
This is class solidarity. In case you’re at all confused.
This is literally the opposite of what Kirk built and stood for. But because the media's default is now "only conservatives are real people" they are now going to retrospectively make stuff up about him after death so he seems like something other than a fascist propogandist.
The attempts by liberals to whitewash Charlie Kirk and cast him as some kind of maverick who cherished debate and difference of opinion makes me sick to my stomach. This is who he was: a fascist propogandist who worked to make ordinary people's lives miserable because he didn't like their politics.
They are not and if Kirk was still alive and a liberal had been assassinated in his place he'd be celebrating because he was a violent fascist who wanted the rest of us subjugated or dead. Memorializing him in this way is disgusting and mendacious. Shame on Ezra Klein.
Or you can just whitewash what they actually stood for after they died so they seem like a maverick political debater instead of a fascist propogandist who celebrated when political violence was turned on liberals.
The only way you could arrive at the conclusion that he "did it in good faith" is if you ignore everything he did and said during his career. What the hell is wrong with you?
It is genuinely astounding the way people who should know better are leaping out of their chairs to whitewash the legacy of a bitter racist and misogynist who was a personal champion of political violence. If the tables were turned Kirk would be celebrating Klein's death, not eulogizing.
Yup. Disgusting.
Imagine missing Thanksgiving at home for this?
Because it's really weird, right? Nobody on Bluesky sits around talking about what's going on on Truth Social and as much as people are obviously anti-Twitter it's not like a hot topic of discussion. It is taking up a lot of space in their brains.
IMO a big part of the Bluesky obsession among the radical centrist/anti-anti-fascism set is that it serves as a convenient totem for the slice of the left/center-left that doesn't bother to engage with them anymore. "Every post on Bluesky" = "lefties who refuse to listen to ME and MY SMART OPINIONS"
this this a million times this
1000%
Yeah TFP also just doesn't give me like "I'm on the Bachelorette looking for love" vibes. She burns too hot.
My only thought about it is: To what end?
Whether or not you support political violence won’t change where we’ve come to, nor where we’ve been for some time in this country. I am quite taken aback by how many people only invoke the term ‘political violence’ when it happens to a person with power. It’s political violence the other way too.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
I encourage everyone to look out for their safety and practice good internet hygiene, of course. But some of the scolding posts I've read suggest we can change the awful aftermath of a fateful event by just holding our tongues and being quiet little mice, and that isn't my experience.
If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.
About to have a salad for lunch, yum!
"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023 www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...
You say this all the time. 🙄
Boy do I wish we still had Twitter circles rn
if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media
It has never been more clear that you are bought and paid for by a billionaire and are no longer a trustworthy source of news!
There has been a lot of truly terrible journalism done during the Trump era, but this has to be a top 10 example.
Somewhere along the way a lot of people decided that journalism = willful suspension of common sense and the results have been catastrophic!
hi bb
It's the only type of exercise I don't viscerally hate the entire time that I'm doing it.
In a way it really is so darkly funny that these are the people we are stuck in the foxhole with.
what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.
A little while ago I was explaining the recent Epstein stuff to some friends who aren't as online and I said something to the effect of "I think he's in the files and it looks bad for him but I don't think it's going to be something like 'Sold: 1 underage girl to Donald Trump.'" Well,
Roisin Murphy is currently throwing a tantrum on Twitter because her album from 2 years ago got the cold shoulder due to her being a TERF, in case you were wondering what's going on over there these days.
I am overall mixed on Alien: Robot Babies but the longer it goes on the more I'm enjoying the way the story is unfolding.
So there's this indisputable best Survivor player of all time.........
Whole thread. We’re in an up-in-the-air moment now: one hand, Trump threatening civil war; other, ICE being turned back by civil disobedience. Moral: fascists don’t know yet how far they’re willing to go. My belief: more moments like this now will prevent the war that’s been threatened.
Likely place for it to be.
Paul Verhoeven really is one of the most tuned in and prophetic artists of our time.
It's deeply funny that Johnson is the best MAGA could do after ousting McCarthy as speaker. He really is a like D-tier political talent.
I often think about what future historians will make of Omarosa
Please purchase airplane wifi to live text me throughout
No, you can't. That's not true.
Meanwhile the NYTimes headline will be "Trump Talks Tough to Promote His Crime Fighting Initiative in American Cities"
Who knows if winning Texas is possible but trying an Andy Beshear-type there is worth the shot. 🤷🏻♂️
stoned and eating a burrito and liking + replying to positive comments about Tinashe on a YouTube video
As others pointed out at the beginning of the general: anybody who thinks Adams and Silwa are going to drop out to help Cuomo win doesn't understand how much both of them hate his guts.
Money, drugs, chains on my chest, that vintage Celine Diamond grills, champagne bottles, swagger I bleed I want sex, money, bitches, and the stickiest weed
Came out of nowhere, didn't give no warnin' Pedal so heavy, like the two most wanted
It cannot be overstated how damaged your brain needs to be to care about this stuff, let alone coin the term "Blueskyism" and believe that it is having any measurable effect on the world outside of your own personal feelings.
Like one of the fake movies from Seinfeld
not to point out the obvious, but all this shit is racialized. Democratic voters are seen as inherently less *valid* than Republican ones, and because Republicans have a more or less permanent majority among white Americans, they're unconsciously (or not so unconsciously, nowadays) the 'norm'

Do you think that guy from the DOJ knew that they were going to tweet his apology letter about getting honeypotted by a Project Veritas agent he met on Hinge?
how your skeets find me
This betrays such a fundamental lack of understanding of the current political reality that it borders on irresponsible. I used to follow your work but I'm really disheartened to see what you've been focusing your energy on as fascism rises in the US. You are going to look back on this with regret.
Part of the reason we're in the mess we're in is there is a whole political analytics and commentary class that refuses to engage with the reality of how radicalized and violent the right has become in the US. For example:
Especially alarming when you remember that Stephen Miller recently referred to the Democrats as a domestic extremist group!
Dido:
You do not, under any circumstances, need to apologize to Shadi Hamid.
total moral rot
This is the thing about the Graham Linehan's of the world: when you strip away the culture war veneer, what you have are grown up adults who are pathologically obsessed with stalking, harassing, and bullying children.
The thing is that Bari Weiss would give you The Free Press for nothing if you let her run CBS News. The $100M they're rumored to pay is just her reward for helping the oligarchs take power, first as an infiltrator inside NYT then as a highly promoted propagandist
Like irreparable brain injury. Inoperable. I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do.
It really is hard to arrive at any conclusion other than that American elites have gone completely insane.
It's actually really not that serious. He fucking sucks shit on any possible metric you could judge him on and that is kind of the beginning and the end of it for me personally.
There is a very clear and obvious answer why that doesn't require multiple skeets to arrive at.
Yeah because he is personally bigoted against trans people.
Every time I pull into the Costco parking lot and find a decent spot right away I start laughing like a crazy person and bouncing up and down in my seat.
One of my anti-woke takes is that when someone very publicly turns into a stark raving mad lunatic we should just say something along the lines of "He lost his fucking mind" instead of "a peculiar metamorphosis."
vaxxed?
Well, he should unwrite it.
If you're on X you want to be fed this content from a Nazi that makes money from you. I prefer something else. It's that simple
So..................what is going on?
Someone please kill me right now.

The Hunting Wives is so genius. Verhoevenian.
ketamine coke and molly ketamine coke and molly ketamine coke and molly ketamine coke and molly
"I love this show!!!!" me every 5 minutes while watching The Hunting Wives
There's a Malin Akerman acting choice in episode 1 of Hunting Wives that made me HOWL with laughter.
This is me, if you even care...
If I was somebody with a lot of money who wants Dems to do well/Trump to fail I would be dumping money into the I've Had It ladies' pockets to grow their media influencer. They are the bruisers we need going forward.
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
Here is the moment we find ourselves in.
