Democrats, you have a chance to prove you're not going to just fuck this all up again if you just drop this dipshit and Chuck Schumer. They offer nothing, they are gutless and spineless which is a terrible combination. Start strong.

Meet the donors behind incoming speaker Hakeem Jeffries: -Anduril CEO Brian Schimpf: $100,000 -Anduril COO Matthew Grimm: $44,300 -Palantir’s Mehdi Allhassani: $44,300 -Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong: $7,000 -Crypto trade group lobbyist Adrian Wall: $50,000 🧵

Really, really important for Democrats to understand that if we allow "enforcing the rule of law" to be redefined as "getting even" we are cooked.

MS NOW@ms.now · yesterday

"The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is now poised to become the next House Speaker, says that Democrats will focus on affordability concerns and not retribution after their midterm wins.

I am so fucking tired of "seeking justice" being framed as "getting even." Arresting and/or impeaching people who are legitimately guilty of actual crimes is not revenge. It is justice. Innocent people should be released from detention and guilty people should be in prison. Again, that is JUSTICE.

Candid photo of Chuck Schumer watching the results roll in last night, electric energy

Damn, I’m gonna vote again today just for fun

Chuck Schumer’s strongly-worded letters are about to become much more strongly-worded

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.

it's not that Dems and leftists need to be assholes, or dirtbags. It's that we have to end the bogus and self-defeating worship of civility. Uncivil people don't deserve civility. When someone advocates for politics of bigotry, cruelty and murder the proper response is to fuck them up.

From @frederickmelo.bsky.social:

The entire pundit class has convinced people for so long that their “analysis” was somehow necessary and valuable when in reality it was just a con game to manufacture consent for bias-confirming “strategies” that only benefited the capitalist class and guaranteed pundits career security.

Not being able to sleep but for a positive reason is a welcome change

Wishing our president a very sincere get fucked, loser

One of my favorite books I read last year. I think it I read it in something like 4 or 5 hours? The book CRUISES and it’s also about MY WORST NIGHTMARE so I’m excited I now get to see the movie adaptation of MY WORST NIGHTMARE

not every band shows up to the radio session and throws down a song from a one-sided 12" that was available in an edition of 1000, but the mountain goats do

there are very few jobs in the world where you can disappear for weeks without providing an explanation, and "member of congress" should not be one of them, imo

When I see a band I like has inexplicably added a keyboardist and they initially never had a keyboardist, the unfortunate odds are I’m not gonna like whatever they got coming out next.

Shout out to A24 for building its reputation off of incredibly talented filmmakers, having a great marketing team to convince people that it was A24 that was making the films they were distributing and then absolutely selling those filmmakers out to get in on the worst thing possible for filmmakers.

Love that 10 years ago I was really into minimalism and now I’ve accidentally bought City Slickers on VHS 3 times in the past 6 months

Actually, never mind, I love ai, keep doing it

The perk of working with Gen Z is that they’ll turn off whatever music you’re listening to in favor of something better like The SpongeBob SquarePants album.

While you were asleep, Senate Republicans voted to give your money to pedophiles and cop-beaters.

I bought this neat, little micro-cassette recorder over the weekend at a vintage market. Little did I know it came with some workplace drama straight out of 1999.

Today’s tape finds

Despicable. As Pat Dingus continues his slanderous campaign to unseat me, the nation’s toilet seat needs more ass on it than ever. If we allow Pat Dingus to take over, will he actually do the job or spend his term insulting innocent Americans? Enough is enough. Support Dick Dingus for USTSW.

We have him on the run. This is Pat Dingus, the challenger in the race for U.S. Toilet Seat Warmers. Dick Dingus’ tiny little asshole has been on the throne for far too long. Would you consider donating $50 to DINGUS FOR USTSW today?? We need a real ass warming the capital toilet. Let’s flush Dick!

Hey friend, it’s Dick Dingus. Pat Dingus is running a smear campaign against me in an effort to unseat me as your representative of the U.S. Toilet Seat Warmers. I need your help. I assure you my ass is an adequate size for the job. Consider making a $20 donation to my campaign today to defeat Dick!

Pat Dingus here. It’s official. I’m running against Dick Dingus for his place on the U.S. Toilet Seat Warmers. If elected, my giant ass will keep the country’s toilet seat far warmer than Dick Dingus’ tiny ass ever did. This fall, vote for a Dingus that will work FOR YOU. Also I support ICE.
