🔥 @abdulelsayed.bsky.social claps back at J.D. Vance: “Is that Peter Thiel's boy? With that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy… after he said Trump had no business being president of anything, then decided to suck up to power.”
If we don’t fight back, we don’t have a future. The @theguardian.com just published an amazing piece about my book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy." Coming August 18! www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...
Gil Durán@gilduran.com · 4mo agoThe CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Young people under 40 better wake tf up- this 80 year old dirty stink is destroying your future. The 5 guys running this country put this party fluffer in charge of “cosmetics”, so you don’t notice them.
I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.
“This is not working” isn’t a complaint anymore, it’s a rallying cry, and Troy Jackson is turning it into a movement in Maine. Universal healthcare, affordable childcare, reproductive freedom, working people demanding all of it at once. We have 90 days to help make it real. #BlueWaveIn90Days
A lifelong Republican just endorsed Mary Peltola because she understands working-class struggles better than the people supposedly on his own side. This is what happens when we build something bigger than party lines. Let’s keep that momentum going. #BlueWaveIn90Days #USDemocracy #RisingBlue
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
The largest funeral in Palestinian history took place today. 308 martyrs and missing persons from a single residential square in the Al-Sabra neighborhood; families whose names were wiped from the registry, and bodies that vanished under the rubble. 💔😢💔😢💔😢💔😢💔😢

Donald Trump is suddenly unhappy with the state of his new White House helipad.

Klobuchar: "More than six months after Renee and Alex's deaths when I asked Acting AG Blanche if the department would finally fully cooperate with state law enforcement in these investigations, he said 'it depends on what full cooperation means'...Minnesotans deserve transparency and accountability"
“.. it’s one thing for Trump to have a personal fascination with one of the world’s most expensive metals. It’s another for the president to flaunt it at a time when many Americans are struggling to pay rent ..” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.

Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.
