I am going to be honest that if you aren’t sure whether or not it would be good if the fascists kill a prominent anti-fascist activist with whom you have developed an inscrutable parasocial antagonism, I really doubt the sincerity of your commitment to leftism or anti-fascism

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

I have thoughts, and they aren’t going to fit neatly into Bluesky posts. Briefly:
1. The deal sucks.
2. Probably not as much as you think it does.
3. It’s good to be mad.
4. FFS, be madder at the GOP.
5. Strategy is hard.
5b. Timing matters.
6. The fight isn’t over.
7. Go pet a cat. (Or a dog.)

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

There is one political party lining up to oppose Mamdani for blatantly bigoted reasons, and people of good conscience should vote against it at the local, state, and federal level
Really frustrating to see people insist that "the Democratic Party is against Zohran" when every local Dem who endorsed Cuomo is lining up behind him
Thank you Rep. Espaillat for joining this campaign for an affordable NYC and for fighting Trump's authoritarianism in DC.
Adriano and I know that the only way we can protect this city is by standing firm in our values and standing up for working class and immigrant New Yorkers.

Curiously, my very deliberate, ponderous method of speaking truth to power seems to have left me speaking truth to the previous set of people in power, which just so happens to align me with the current set of people in power. What an odd confluence of events!

Unfortunately there are no current issues that demand courageous honesty that challenges our leaders. But if there were, you can trust I’ll be there, speaking truth to power (in two to five years).

Hey, I’m a prominent national news figure and I’m here to promote my new book, in which I tell you I’m boldly taking a contrarian point of view on an important news issue (of 2022) and standing up to powerful men (who have already retired). If only liberals would have courage like me!

I'm her constituent and after seeing the results in South Carolina, I voted for Biden because I cared far more about party unity than any particular candidate
including warren here in particular is bizarre, because, *as a warren supporter who donated money to her campaign* it was obvious to me extremely early on that she had absolutely no chance
The common myth that Jake Tapper repeats about 2020 -- that Democratic voters didn't want Joe Biden but he was forced on them by a back-room party conspiracy -- is transparently wrong and fundamentally misunderstands the problem: www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/05/joe-...

The killings of two Israeli Embassy workers in Washington on Wednesday cast a harsh spotlight on the pro-Palestinian movement in the U.S. and the impact even peaceful protests might be having on attitudes against people connected to Israel.
