Literally every move the Republican Party makes is designed to keep the money hoarders rich and the ultra bigots angry. It's a double win for Elon Musk who sits at the intersection of both projects.
Jeanine Pirro should stick to doing what she does best—being a braying boozehound.
Mike Waltz -- the same guy who accidentally added the editor of the Atlantic to a top secret Signal group chat about US strikes in Yemen -- says that people who expose military secrets need to be in jail.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoWELKER: Is America backing away from a larger attack bc our stockpile has been depleted? WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted? WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail
I like how Platner was this singular irreplaceable figure and within ten seconds everyone was able to go “never mind this other guy is just as good”

Instagram's disabling of links in posts means it's designed for fraud. BY DESIGN it enables the strategies of bullshit vendors who post lies without links or credits. Meta is evil.
I hate that we have two Dakotas. Republicans got greedy for new states in the 1880s and we're still paying for that a century and a half later. Two states that, when combined, have the same population as The Bronx. They shouldn't get four senators.

Weird how “vote blue no matter who” only goes in one direction
Chicago Tribune@chicagotribune.com · 3w agoCommentary: No matter how hard left-leaning Democrats try to portray themselves in the majority, they need to face the truth. The center is the majority.

Another must watch video about LA’s train system. The company building the LAX people mover, LINXS, highjacked LA World Airports for hundreds of millions of our dollars. This is frustratingly mad. AND, they will run the APM until 2048. What is this corporate bureaucratic bs? Kleptocracy in L.A.

I am honored to be the Democratic nominee for Colorado's 8th Congressional District.
How old were you when you learned that many populations of animals are cut off from one another and from suitable habitats by our highways? I remember feeling very stupid when I learned this in my twenties; I've since found out it's one of those blindingly obvious facts that many people don't know.
Meade Krosby@meadekrosby.bsky.social · last mo.This is what it looks like to take wildlife collisions seriously. There are >40 wildlife overpasses and underpasses with fencing along the Trans-Canada Highway near Banff, Alberta. They’ve reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by 80%, saving human & animal lives while promoting connected ecosystems.
feels uncontroversial to say that this is essentially the point of the democratic party
Truthout@truthout.org · last mo.Centrist Democrats are gearing up to organize against progressives and democratic socialists, who have been racking up victories over the last two years by presenting themselves as an alternative to a failed status quo that lost the 2024 election to President Donald Trump.
This is what happens in an authoritarian state, and not in a free, democratic nation.
Nancy Levine Stearns@nancylevinestearns.bsky.social · last mo.So this was the Instagram post that prompted Federal agents track down Syracuse woman, demand she remove Instagram post about ICE?
good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands
All In with Chris Hayes@allinwithchris.bsky.social · last mo.WATCH: Chris Hayes looks at how Elon Musk’s assault on USAID became one of DOGE’s most devastating legacies—and why Musk is now trying to rewrite the record.
Blanche v. Lau is devastating for green card holders. It means that if they leave the U.S. then return, a border officer can claim they committed a crime at some point, revoke their lawful status, and confiscate their green card without meaningful evidence of wrongdoing. It's really, really bad.
Centrist Americans being mystified by Kier Starmer's unpopularity despite him doing everything they're always telling Democrats to do is so funny. Just the biggest dumbasses around.
Don’t listen to Joseph Gordon-Leavitt. He’s busy cozying up with Peter Thiel and Ted Cruz.

Mark this moment. This is where the endgame begins—though it might take two years to play out. A President of the United States is openly linking the *Pentagon* and rigging elections for his party. He is framing an authoritarian takeover as something the *U.S. military* wants.
Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

no one should respect these clowns, Pelley justified
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 2mo agoBari Weiss addressed Scott Pelley's firing at the top of this morning's editorial meeting: "I hope I speak for everyone here when I say I'm only interested in working in a newsroom that is built on trust and mutual respect. We cannot do our work without it. That foundation was broken on Monday."
Congratulations to the courageous Dr. Adam Hamawy, army veteran and surgeon, who put his own life at risk to save Palestinian lives in Gaza during a genocide. 🫡
Scott Pelley was fired. Bari Weiss and Co are day by day killing a great journalism institution. For what? To appease a man who despises journalism, free speech, democracy and American values. Infuriating.
