We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly
Roberts: Scene at State of Union 'Very Troubling' Chief Justice Roberts calls Obama's behavior towards the Court 'troubling. By The Associated Press March 9, 2010, 1:40 PM March 9, 2010— - TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts says the scene at this year's State of the Union address by President Obama was "very troubling," and he wonders if justices should even attend in the future. With members of the court seated before him in the House chamber, Obama chided the court in January for its decision that corporations and unions could freely spend money to run political ads for or against specific candidates. Speaking to law students Tuesday in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Roberts said anyone is free to criticize the court. But he said the scene of a president dressing down the court in front of Congress was "very troubling." Roberts said he wonders if justices should attend State of the Union speeches.
Is he troubled tonight?
trump blasts democrats for voting against his "big beautiful bill" which kicked 10 million people of their health insurance, took food away from literal children, and supercharged ice and cbp - all while giving enormous tax cuts to the rich.
below is a graph showing winners/losers from the bill.
Accelerating his dementia to distract from the Epstein files.
The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...
American media’s sane-washing of Trump is one of its most monumental failures of the past decade.
Stacy Bradley voted for President Trump because of his border policies, and she likes that he has restored “law and order.” But she is unsettled by one aspect of his immigration agenda. Last month, the federal government bought a warehouse next to her cheerleading gym in Surprise, Ariz., which the administration plans to convert into a detention center for up to 1,500 immigrants. Ms. Bradley, the co-owner of Woodlands Elite Cheer, said she worried that a detainee could escape, or that protests could break out. The children who train at her gym are as young as 3 and could see “people in shackles” next door, she said.
“my children might see the children I voted to put in shackles, how shall they grow up”
How it happened: The campaign was born in early 2024, according to sources familiar with the internal deliberations. Tony Sayegh, a Treasury and White House official in Trump's first term, became a key man in the TikTok triumph. Sayegh was on a ski vacation when he saw President Biden declare in March 2024 that he'd sign a TikTok ban if Congress passed one. Sayegh — dubbed "TikTok's Trump Whisperer" by a Wall Street Journal article shortly after Trump's election — phoned a TikTok executive and suggested the very solution that eventually came to pass: If Trump won, he could sign an executive order thwarting the ban. "Impossible," the TikTok official said. "Can't happen." But it did, thanks to an aggressive political and legal strategy, paired with some lucky breaks. Some TikTok executives were skittish about going all-in with Trump, but Sayegh often told the company's D.C. team that Trump was the only person who could save TikTok in America. Chew warmed to the strategy. The biggest U.S. investor in ByteDance, TikTok's China-based parent company, is Susquehanna International Group, where Sayegh is head of public affairs.
Key reporting from @axios.com. In essence, a former Trump official, and then executive at TikTok's largest US investor, called TikTok and made clear that if Trump won in November, the ban wouldn't happen.
Then Trump became the most viewed content on TikTok.
And won.
And TikTok wasn't banned.
gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
They could build a wall around Vought’s home out of the bones of all the children killed from cutting USAID
And yet, the Trump administration's ceaseless repetition of some vaguely defined "Biden disaster" will no doubt bore into more brains than this actual fact.
I thought about why I’ve been pushing back on stolen midterm fears. What’s the harm of worry, even if it doesn’t materialize?
It’s this. The regime has less capacity than it’d like, and tries to make up the difference with bluster. If people act as if it’s true, that grants the regime more power.
honestly about as big of a psychospiritual fuck you to ICE as i can imagine
Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
Absolutely right. Democrats backed a national ban on gerrymandering while Republicans pushed their advantage in key states. This evens things up but also draws us closer to real reform.
Reactionaries use this meme constantly. I'm sure you've seen it. The actual politicians' records show that it's a lie.

In 1924, a racist mob of Piedmont residents forced a Black family to flee their home.
Sidney and Iréne Dearing were Piedmont's first Black home owners. A new lawsuit by their descendants alleges that city officials fraudulently took steps to push them out.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
Oklahoma receives $18 billion more in federal funds than it gives with 12.2 percent from California. Nearly half of Oklahoma's government revenue is from federal funding. Just say thank you and be on your way, asshole.
conservatives cannot abide the fact that they can't control the levers of culture the way they do the levers of power.
A fine is merely the cost of doing business. We need to be throwing C-suite level people in jail.
"Indeed, for much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States."

The Democrats didn’t flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
The PEOPLE flipped a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Anyway congrats to our Free Speech Champions(tm) who helped usher in the most censorious American government since the Palmer Raids
