- I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic
- I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.
- whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero
- i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.
- Weird and almost universal revisionism today. Even at the time, it was pretty clear that Mandelson wasn't appointed *despite* his dodgy links but *because* of them. Trump's Washington is a dirty swamp. Mandelson was deemed a man able to swim in it. This wasn't a secret. Everybody said it out loud.

- Swalwell: The guy said he would cut prices, and instead he’s killing people—and I’m not signing off on that.
- Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

- I guess "ocean" isn't one of the words they test when the president makes his monthly visit to the dementia ward.

- The Founders wanted the states to run elections. And they have for 237 years. Now Donald Trump wants to run them.

- Let me explain the math behind why the destruction of the Washington Post isn't about money. The paper is now losing $100 million a year. Jeff Bezos is worth $253 billion. This means he could self-fund the Washington Post for THE NEXT 2,000 YEARS and still have $53 billion LEFT OVER.

- We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
- This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care. It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...
- I doubt it’s a coincidence that Tulsi Gabbard was at the Georgia election office raid and Maduro is in custody. Her presence signals they could fabricate a foreign election interference claim. But not against Russia, of course.

- I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")
- "PROVE ME WRONG" "Show me a single fucking clip in the past 8 yrs of Donald Trump speaking INTELLIGENTLY about any policy decision, domestic or foreign." "YOU WILL NOT FIND A SINGLE ONE. Not a single clip of the POTUS speaking like he has any fucking idea about policy whatsoever."
- OMG. He literally went with "they were no angels" which is the mocking phrase people use to point out how authorities try to minimize their law enforcement executions. And he's using it earnestly because he doesn't realize how it's actually used.
- If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.
- My god it's nice to hear someone speaking fluently and with knowledge of the subject
- Guys they are really, really not winning It sucks what they’re doing to our country, and my city especially God only knows how much damage they’ll do before they’re stopped, much of it irreversible But they are very much not winning
-
View full threadTheir plan was to take the momentum of their initial shock victory, measly as it was, and push through all the lines of resistance, counting on each one to fold out of pragmatism, so their strength was never tested. But Minneapolis didn’t fold, their strength was tested, and they broke instead.
- Now what? They can’t regather their momentum. They’re much weaker than before and even their strongest wasn’t strong enough. Their leaders are detested, their cult of personality is built around a rotting human mound, they cannot regain the initial shock. The ship is sinking; who will board it now?
- Given that they are not winning, and in fact probably cannot win, the goal needs to be stopping them, as quickly and permanently as possible, so that we have to rebuild less in the aftermath
- We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
- Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]
- Conway: If you want your lives to be better and you want this country to persevere for your kids, we need to impeach and remove this fascist fucker now, as soon as possible. And I know that language is tough, but that’s where we are.
- Have you noticed this? I have. "The news media doesn’t seem to know how to bring anything other than wide-eyed credulity to his utterances, even after all the lies and deceit of the past decade." That's @sulliview.bsky.social at her site. margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/dear-media...
- France’s Foreign Ministry owns Elon Musk in this response:
- not saying he's necessarily in the organization, but this skull face mask was popular among members of the Proud Boys a few years ago
- Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets
- I keep saying to people in my life that the problem with writing in these days is that you sound absolutely off your nut for simply saying what is happening.
- The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

- THOU SHALT NOT PROTECT PEDOS!!! WHY THE FUCK IS THIS SENDER’S NAME REDACTED?!?
- I'mma answer your rhetorical question: Because the Pedophiles are in charge of the redactions.
- In no functioning country is this allowed.
- Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE: End the roving patrols and racial profiling. Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police. Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.
- No we don't. There isn't any such "common sense" reform. ABOLISH ICE. That's what we want.
