the willingness to say “what the fuck are you even talking about, you freak” is a refreshing commonality among much of the new Class of 2026 officeholders

Gotta say, Dan may have just dropped the most robust post-election analysis to date. Props to Dan.

"Climate Pledge Arena" turning down a Free Palestine concert put on by a guy born and raised there is the most Seattle thing I've ever heard

Pop Base@popbase.tv · 15h ago

Macklemore reveals which venues declined to host his ‘FREE PALESTINE’ Tour: • Madison Square Garden • Kia Forum • Prudential Center • Barclays Center • UBS Arena • Intuit Dome • Crypto/com Arena • Chase Center • Climate Pledge Arena

a friend said "McRib" stands for "My Chemical Romance is Back" and it hasn't left my mind all day

one key factor of instability in the present GOP coalition is that Trump is probably racist in the way the modal high school football coach or car dealership owner is racist and Stephen Miller's wing of his associates are racist in the way that the modal grand wizard of the local Klan is racist

@lastpositivist.bsky.social · 13h ago

I gotta say, if you were of the opinion that Republicans lost in part because they couldn't keep their 2024 coalition together, and that because a bunch of racist herronvolk extremism turned out to be unpopular with key elements of that coalition, giving Miller more power would seem unwise.

still finding lots of little fake election micro-scandals to laugh about. turns out normal people aren't hung up on whether potato tacos are gay

one thing I would really like Ds to do is invest a ton of money in a pro trans ad campaign to counteract the horrific propaganda that Rs have poured money into.

You almost have to feel bad for the guy.

wild how all through the election centrist libs were saying “oh don’t you know muslims HATE queers??” then a muslim guy wins; he’s not budging an inch on supporting trans rights, meanwhile centrist libs voted with republicans to legalize child molesting because they fried their brains on transphobia

Fire him tomorrow. Fire him. Fuck this guy. Against all odds? You were the odds we were running against. Don't fuck this up, smarter, younger members of Congress. Don't let them do that. This might be your one and only time to fix it. Do not fuck it up again.

Jen Bendery@jbendery.bsky.social · 3d ago

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) now talking about Dems taking back the Senate tonight. "Against all odds, Democrats have won the Senate," he says. "We have five words for the American people: relief is on the way."

Incorrect. We want the secret police gone, and the criminals who gutted the administrative state and looted our government tried and held accountable. Have a seat, Mr drone strike

now do me a favor Barry and don’t backchannel coach them to be little quivering bitches like you did with the last batch

Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · 3d ago

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.

this is my new line. “an Alabama district swung 22.5 points to elect a trans woman, so how about you just shut the fuck up now?”

☀️@stel.energy · 3d ago

a trans woman pushed a state house district in alabama over by 22 points

The difference here being this is not an interpersonal individual vs individual conflict. This is you making demands of the ruling class. You cannot make demands as one person online. You need to be part of an organized group capable of making demands, making them heard and unleashing consequences

I hope everyone in Minneapolis feels like tonight is a warm, loving hug from an entire grateful country. We made you a hotdish out of votes, to say thank you.

big sigh of relief after those Minnesota calls

if the dems start a weekly YouTube show of “here is all the corruption we found this week” the left won’t need a Joe Rogan

the letters I write to my elected officials over the next couple months are going to sound like Lt. Aldo Raine wrote them

are we sure we want to phrase it as “Josh Shapiro will stay in the governor’s mansion”

“There’s a cautionary tale here for both parties” shut the fuck up and trans your gender

It’s incredibly important to recognize that Democrats running up the score so high they exceeded the margins of fuckery is not a sign of democratic health. It is a time-limited reprieve to secure the government before we lose it. This was the failure of the Biden Era that cannot be repeated.

arrest Elon Musk seize his factories nationalize SpaceX

Trump didn't cancel the election, declare martial law, or invoke the Insurrection Act. Armed soldiers didn't seize ballot boxes and shoot dissenters. ICE didn't storm the polling places. This isn't even close enough for a stolen election movement. Yes, the GOP lost - but the doomers lost too.

it is absolutely wild that a guy named Sherrod Brown is white

for everyone telling dems to shut up about ICE because immigration was Trump’s strong suit: based on the hispanic numbers everywhere, we’re looking at national prop 187

David Dayen@ddayen.bsky.social · 3d ago

This is a crazy one. Seward County, western Kansas. Majority Hispanic. Ground zero of recent ICE raids. Trump won by 39 in 2024. Almost all in, Hamilton winning by 13.
