Old Ham all time name for conservative exec power bootlicker judge
Don’t sleep on 1) “If a candidate quickly comes up with ideas to solve NYC’s problems, we can surely beat him” is some crazy ass backwards shit. 2) “positive messaging” is his cheat code 3) “Sure, I have no ideas, but Mamdani’s flaws are his ideas bc they don’t fix everyone’s problems”
Duterte madness
Off their rockers
Excellent! It wouldn’t be shocking if some of the awful framing of issues you see in the media derive in part from this — Twitter’s utterly skewed their sense of where the Overton Window is
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.
Artificially Unintelligent
Announcing EU / UK trade sanctions on Israel has a good chance of stopping the build-up towards the occupation+destruction of Gaza city and the expulsion of its residents. Blocking this manoeuvre would greatly reinforce demands to end the war. This genocide can be stopped. Today.
We just need to “allocate” some of the empty row houses in Baltimore to Californians, simple fix
The voice of the people was also clear: 2020 election was a referendum on Trump’s handling of COVID…and USA rejected it (by 7mm votes at that)! It is bizarre that the opposite narrative has taken hold when it is clearly wrong
Good night and good luck to jd
At least 78 Palestinians, including 32 aid seekers, have been killed since dawn as Israel intensifies attacks on Gaza City, aiming to seize the largest urban centre and forcibly displace around one million Palestinians to concentration zones in the south aje.io/7hkxxi
First reports are that karma, which is a bitch, was driving the vehicle
“Obviously” we think this is legal, which is why we did it at 3am on a holiday weekend and lied to you
Judge: During recess, I read provision you cited and then the complaint. Every one of 10 named plaintiffs says they are *afraid* of being sent back to Guatemala. (Reads aloud from declarations.) Doesn't line up with what govt is saying. This is why we have courts.
Evergreen
Excellent
I'm going to be on with @velshi.com at 11 to talk about my article on the small acts of noncompliance that we can take against our dispicable government. I guess Summer is over. www.thenation.com/article/acti...
In 2024 Sen. Merkley & I visited the Rafah gate on the Egypt-Gaza border. On the other side was Gaza’s thriving city of Rafah—home to 270K. Today we saw it reduced to rubble. The Netanyahu govt has gone beyond targeting Hamas to waging a war of destruction against all Palestinians. It must end.
I remember when Vance said that liberals would call drinking diet dr. Pepper racist
“Trump to sign executive order mandating all Republicans kill Democrats” has about as much legal effect
These aren’t dumb people, they’re just jocks. This is just RW anti-intellectualism created out of thin air
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
This is not news in the way “Trump says he will sign executive order mandating everyone say he has a twelve inch penis” is not news. Because neither matters.
Florko is an all timer
We can no longer just post the memes. We need to crowdfund “Weekend At Bernie’s III, The POTUS With The Mostest”, and we need to do so NOW
You can tell it’s really him because his name is on his shirt
At the very least it’s fun to think of this as a sort of tailgate party before the big event
Boob job?
Face lift
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
Privatization by AI, by any other name
1. Make government dysfunctional. 2. Eliminate dysfunctional government.
I declare $5mm of Trump’s money to be mine in end-run around laws regarding personal property
We need to pass a law that all David Brooks articles must begin with “I, David Brooks, who left my wife of 27 years for my twenty-something research assistant for my book The Road to Character would like to talk to you about ____.” It is the Sanity General’s Warning we all need
Imagine if newspapers reported on Putin/Orban/etc this way
RFK at HHS in any position, let alone head, is like a flat earther in charge of NASA. Just an insane thing to have accepted
the people you might sway aren’t usually the people you’re fighting with though. the swayables are the onlookers
NEW: CNN's now publicly released video analysis shows Israel's 'double-tap' attack on Nasser Hospital was, in fact, actually a triple-tap. They bombed the hospital, and then fired upon the rescue team and journalists with not one but two more shells.
This is genuinely shocking behavior
In Trump I, Norms didn’t restrain Trump. This was internalized as “nothing’s wrong because they aren’t violations of law.” Now the hyper focus on whether an individual action *indisputably* breaks a law (both sides!) leaves us lost in a forest of authoritarian creep. There is no “be a democracy” law
Can’t wait for the spin-off, Lifestyles of the rich and spicy a-meat-a-balls!
Lifestyle of not being a rube
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
Just casually laying the groundwork for violent repression of the opposition
@mtsw.bsky.social Trump take FBI
FBI out picking up trash in DC tho
They are under the same reflexive assumptions as that Community Relations guy from the article you recently posted — “boy, we’re gonna have some work to do but people are sure to like us again once we stop genociding so much! Who even remembers genocide? I think there’s a phrase about that…”
There is no greater distillation of MAGA than firing affordable park service employees, deploying armed troops to fight a war that exists only on Twitter and their imagination, then paying the armed troops the equivalent of $130k salaries to spread mulch, all while saying libs lack common sense
This is a carbon copy of 2004 — “top issue for rural states that no one would ever know exist let alone attack is terrorism”
Only thing that can stop litter is a good guy with a gun
Dems have a Zohran-shaped lesson smacking them right in the face and they refuse to listen because they fundamentally don’t think they’re like their voters. “We can’t be authentic because voters voted for Trump so they must be like that”
“Oh, you’re anti-immigrant too? I guess we’ll stop being a political party!”
You could keep the first part and substitute in any illegal act “Trump, in a move with little precedent, beheads opposition leader”
Doesn’t even attribute the allegations to a party…they’re just naturally out there in the universe!
You joke but we all know the deal is “lower grocery prices for working families at any point, green light for lawless fascism for forever”, thems the breaks
Idiot, if you can’t do it, it’s not a right
John Roberts, citing the historic precedent of segregation in the District of Columbia, concludes that Trump can legally remove Fed Governors but only the black ones.
These strategists are not equipped to give strategic advice for burgeoning authoritarianism. Hence they pretend it does not exist so the strategy they have the background to give is plausible. They are living in as much an alternate reality as Fox News etc
Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb
Israel has killed at least 20 people, including several journalists, in a double strike on Nasser Medical Complex, the largest health facility in southern Gaza, according to the health ministry in the Palestinian enclave. on.ft.com/41X8Jsz
The United Nations-backed authority on starvation has declared a famine in Gaza City.

Somewhere TCW is feeling attacked by BlueSky for you having recorded a podcast
I keep saying this but it remains true: Dems have not learned the central lesson of Reconstruction, that multiracial democracy cannot survive when those working to overthrow the rule of law & fair elections are allowed to operate with impunity.
Baltimore is “so so far gone” that it has experienced historic drops in crime. This is creation of an alternative universe
Defense of what
The manner by which a holocaust historian waives away the explicitly announced, implemented, and ongoing collective starvation of 2 million plus people as “recent problems with food distribution” is chilling. If I have seen dozens of pics of the emaciated at concentration camps, he’s seen thousands
Scoop: Politico is reporting on a memo from a think tank, apparently think tanks write memos, more on this after I google what a think tank is!
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵
Network television is dominated by conservative police/med/fire procedurals, Paramount plus has its western fantasy hits, and streamers are investing in multicams. Conservative local and cable news is omnipresent. David Brooks just probably doesn’t watch these because they are dumb.
Also, is “crash” really the baseline here?
Did this person think she was drafting a telegram? And this embarrassingly inappropriate-for-the-message font rivals the Dan Gilbert comic sans fiasco. Maybe AI did this? Would also explain the anti-semitism…
The Trump administration is doing its best to turn this country into a pitiful, helpless giant, scared of its own shadow, sheltering in place in a big, bad world. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
They run the government like a mid-aughts subprime lender
That’s not a decision, it’s a choose your own adventure book
I wrote about Israel’s assassination of Anas al-Sharif, a brave journalist in Gaza, and the work of local journalists everywhere. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/o...
Who fucking cares what he claims it is…he’s a liar!
Generational unlike-ability talent, plus schooled in the fundamentals at Duke rather than going straight to the pros from HS. Couldn’t have scripted it better!
i remember when jd vance blamed the haitian immigrants to springfield for rising home prices. well, the prices will come down, because a mass departure of haitian workers will crash the local economy.
Business sure sounds like a click farm/bot operation, what a hero
Israeli settlement that would split the occupied West Bank in half was approved this morning. “The Palestinian state is being erased from the table not by slogans but by deeds. Every settlement, every neighborhood, every unit is another nail in the coffin of this dangerous idea,” Smotroch declared.
It’s that time again
Attacks come as Israeli-induced famine grips the besieged Strip amid calls for Israel to accept a mediated truce.
What I want is for journalists and progressives to start calling Mamdani what he is: an FDR democrat. Ask Schumer, Jeffries, and Gillibrand (et. al.): Why do you hate FDR-style policies?
“Even with all of what happened, I only received just a fraction of what Palestinians have to go through.” Chris Smalls tells @premthakker.bsky.social about the Gaza Freedom Flotilla and how he was brutally arrested by the Israeli military while trying to deliver aid to starving Palestinians.
ICE getting routed in my old DC Columbia Heights hood. Public, viral, resistance is the only way to prevent them from selling the idea that we love our red state military occupation are it’s a solution to urban ills Trump/Bondi/drunk Pirro are lying. Here’s how to expose the lie.

Yo yo yo did you hear Bill Gates dropped out of college?!?
“I would not go to college” says someone who absolutely would and did go to college
pardon me for going full woke here but I feel compelled to say: slavery is bad
Sam Altman: I see humans achieving omnipotence using dark matter by… 2030 maybe? That’s if OpenAI is given a quadrillion dollars Theo Von: Yeah Altman: Or, we may become a race of slaves, genetically modified to be harvested by robot spiders. That’s if OpenAI doesn’t get the money Von: Right
Also a tort
