Twitter refugee. Here to make sarcastic comments to entertain myself and myself only. If you still support the GOP, it's not because you like their tax policy.
We need to stop suffocating education in this country. Gutting public school funding and making college unattainable for most Americans financially will only keep making this worse. #MakeEducationGreatAgain

Every progressive gets chased around about their relationship to Hasan Piker. Has ONE reporter ever asked JD Vance about his embrace of the insane and anti-democratic ideas of Curtis Yarvin? Or about his relationship with democracy-hater Peter Thiel? The imbalance is stark.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford: "The red states we're gonna hit hard ... you think an insult from him [Trump] hurts me? Bring it on, buddy. You're a loser."
but if kids are vaccinated it wouldn’t matter if immigrants have it [dies from acute logic]
Mike@mike-umbkm.bsky.social · 2d agoBrennan: "Nearly all of Florida is below the 95% immunization rate for herd immunity for measles. So, is your message to Florida parents to get your kids vaccinated?" Byron Donalds: "No. My message is the reason we have seen a measles outbreak is because of rampant illegal immigration."
The idea that there is a "Left" in American politics is an absurd right wing fantasy, which of course is politically useful to them, but unfortunately it's also useful to centrist media figures who need it to be true for their somber above-it-all commentary to make sense
DOGE was supposed to save $2 trillion. It claimed $160 billion in savings, while the government upheaval was estimated to cost $135 billion and nuked $323 billion in tax revenue over a decade.
When America is gone, remember NYT headlines like this and never again ask what role corporate media played in normalizing the most dangerous man on Earth
We don’t get change until @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov are voted out. They’re desperate to go back to pre-Trump status quo.
Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social · 2d ago“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” only works when you are in a position of power, not when the enemy is a fascist kleptocracy that’s already taken over the government and doesn’t give a fuck about you.

Attacking Jeffries is not “attacking Democrats during an election.” It’s “rooting out traitors during a war.”
“when Hakeem met Jared” keep in mind Maggie Haberman is known to routinely upcycle both Vanky & Kushner (as well as connected mobster-family units) with blind sources still, if this meeting actually took place @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social should resign
Fun fact: So convinced were white officials in 1963 that the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on the national mall would bring lawless and violent hordes of Black people that they imposed an emergency ban on alcohol sales in all of DC and neighboring Montgomery and PG counties.

This 👇 Either the President is the holder of a public office, working on behalf of the country, or he is a private citizen working to protect his personal reputation. It genuinely can't be both in a functioning democracy.

On the one hand, I shouldn't wish my country ill. On the other hand, Canada's grandfathers bled with my grandfathers fighting the Nazis. When we were attacked on 9/11, we asked Canada to send their sons and they bled with our troops in Afghanistan. To betray that bond - we'll deserve what we get.
Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social · 3d agoLate last evening I instructed our negotiators to return to Ottawa. We cannot accept what the U.S. has offered, and we will not give what they have asked.
The whole world needs to stand up to this out-of-control, corrupt, narcissistic bully and criminal, who literally doesn’t care that he’s imploding the US economy, hurting countless families and businesses, and dragging the entire global economy down with him. It actually may be his specific intent.

This might get underreported but take note. The USA has threatened to unleash economic hell of those who trade with Iran. The Chinese just called the US bluff. If the USA meekly accepts the Chinese rebuke (which it probably will), the US is acknowledging how weak it is. www.cnn.com/2026/08/21/w...

At any point in the last decade a journalist could have followed up with a "what the fuck do you mean by that" And they don't, not a single "what the fuck are you talking about" followup in over a goddamn decade of this.
