The Republican Party didn’t create their media ecosystem; right wing activists did. Remember that when you use your left wing podcast to shit all over Democrats.

A fun thing is to get to the part where he says “this is not who we are” and imagine a certain type of person on here trying to pull a “um actually that’s who we’ve always been read a book for once” to his face
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

This is a really great thread
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

“The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.” —Donald Trump, 2-9-2026
This is one of the most ludicrously stupid things Trump has ever said, and Michigan Dems should hit him in the face with it 24/7 until November.

RIP Robert Tinney (November 22, 1947 – February 1, 2026), the artist famous for his playful covers for Byte magazine, a hobbist magazine that ushered in the microcomputing age from the mid-70s through the 90s. I'm honored to have included his work in my own art collection.

The way to understand this, I think, is that everybody knows that when Trump or Vance says "illegals" he's not talking about legal status, but about social desirability, and so people think that that distinction goes both ways.
These people are just crazy. Trump gets up and says "MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS" and they're like "he probably means a path to legal status for deserving immigrants"

Trump took down the racist photo of the Obamas as apes, which was the right thing to do, it shows he’s willing to listen to criticism and hopefully, HOPEFULLY, learn from it

anyway i know how many of you hate that i’m so vocal about this and think it makes me a naive shitlib or whatever. but again, i think the best thing you could do for yourself here is to get involved in election administration where you live.

that’s why they keep saying that we need a strong republican party. aka a party can discipline its far right flank, like the dems do to the left
the problem is that entire generation of dems and their younger disciples are all elitist pricks who think one of their main jobs is to discipline their base, NOT reflect that base's policy preferences. which is why we need to kick every last one of them out of office
I stand corrected. Four out of 5 Democrats want to abolish ICE.
Any elected Dem asking for less is outside the mainstream of their party.

we say this guy chases polls or the Baileys or whatever, but the reality is that he’s just misaligned with Democrats. the polling is clear that this is not what Democrats want.
Chuck is an ideological, pro-cop centrist. He’s saying this because it’s his policy preference. It’s what he wants.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Gonna develop a theory that Bitcoin has no utility in a world where you can just pay a bribe to commit crimes
BITCOIN CRASHES BELOW $74K, BEAR MARKET DEEPENS Bitcoin dropped under $74,425, its lowest since Trump’s win, down nearly 15% YTD and 40% from October highs. Retail is exiting, altcoins are sliding, and Kalshi markets now price a potential fall to $59K.

The regime’s inability to change course reveals some key weaknesses. The Trumpists have bought into their own propaganda – they really believe they represent the “will of the people.” And they exist in a rightwing information bubble that constantly affirms such nonsense.

suing the IRS in your capacity as President? that’s not very unitary executive of you
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

Each time I point out that the Republican platform is simple (they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it), a few people think I'm exaggerating, and usually some small number of people think I'm being sardonic or something. I mean it quite literally.
