This piece is SO FAR OFF I didn't know where to start a rebuke...but here's a five point 🧵 anyway on disagreement with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social piece

Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.

Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.

The push to replace PBS with PragerU is by itself cause for revolt.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”

Once again tapping the sign that reads “the alternative to collective bargaining is dragging out the factory owner from his house and beating him to death in front of his family,” because that’s what we had before collective bargaining Unions are there for *your* protection too, management

That Big Balls is not punched in the face everywhere he goes shows the incredible restraint and lawfulness of DC residents.

…this is just kidnapping, right?

WILD situation in Texas right now: The House Speaker has required Dems, who just returned from their out-of-state quorum break, to have police escorts once they leave the chamber. One Dem is refusing to leave the House floor with escort, and GOP leaders have blocked press access to the chamber.

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

Fox News falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?

Remember, as Trump-friendly media starts to spin Ghislaine’s story into one where she is a victim, deserving a pardon/commutation She is a predator NOT a victim Her victims were not “young women” or “underage women”. They were CHILDREN She trafficked CHILDREN She sexually abused CHILDREN

Imprisoned associate, huh?

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last yr.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s imprisoned associate, has been moved to a lower-security prison, her attorney said. Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 on sex-trafficking charges, had been serving her 20-year sentence at a low security prison.

The equivalent of "if we don't test, there won't be any cases."

Trump has fired the Labor Statistics Commissioner after a weak jobs report. www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

We agree with you.

After April 5…we got some interesting feedback. When a speaker talked about the genocide in Palestine and our electeds not taking money and voting in support… We got some interesting feedback about the price of eggs mattering more. “Someday everyone will have been against this” is today.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

LMAO Trump taking questions in Scotland and is drowned out by a bagpiper….give the person all the beers!

lol

If you haven’t seen it…just scroll down a little on Adam’s post.

South Park delivered the biggest beat down to Trump in history

WE ALL KNEW THIS

Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files.

Absolute cowardice, and everyone involved in this decision should be immediately fired, then flogged with a book on the history of Neville Chamberlain

BREAKING: Columbia University agrees to pay more than $220 million in deal with the Trump administration to restore federal funding.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪
