They are truly scared of all Muslims. Like, deathly afraid.

The establishment is scared. Michigan is coming for you.
Pretty sure when you win the election it's a big election night. Pretty sure when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate.

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
Abolish the Senate, uncap the House

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.

Trump is on the side of Iran and not Minnesota. Congratulations everyone. Apparently J6 wasn't proof enough that he was a danger to the country. Lol
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTrump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
Ok so this lady says solar panels are getting built on "the most productive farmland" in her area. Which just ain't true at all. It ain't true here in NC either. Where I ALSO hear that talking point over & over again. Smells like astroturf! So let's get the dirt on solar farms & dirt ✨
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 6d agoI genuinely don't know what to do about this. In our diseased information environment, one MAGA-adjacent "influencer" can do more to shape public opinion than mountains of studies or facts. Where are the pro-clean-energy influencers to counter this shit?
No, I don't want AI CEOs because they are emotionless min-maxers that will fuck over workers as much as possible if it means increasing profit by one cent www.businessinsider.com/sam-altman-a...
Sam Altman says people don’t really want an AI to act as CEO: ‘I think the world wants to know about the person’
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said he shifted his views about AI-related layoffs in part because he has seen how much humans value themselves over AI.

as a straight dude I agree too. it's evidence of a weak will and/or poor attachment to good values, and we've all got LGBT friends or family. more practically I've seen way too many people go batshit fucking crazy down the transphobia waterslide
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 7d agoSquishiness on trans rights is a dealbreaker for me because (a) it’s a straightforward issue of personal freedom and bodily autonomy much like abortion, and (b) the right is obviously coming after us cis gays next.

Oh is this the language we are using now? Sweet, I have so many ideas for 2027.

Our current Iran strategy is no different than a clown at the bar yelling ”hold me back, bro”

Ah yes, political violence even. Because one side tried to overthrow an election and the other wore dino suits outside ICE facilities
