I want people who talk about "Identity Politics" to fully say what they mean.
Because you obviously mean "Stop talking about bigotry or wanting rights for yourself because we need to placate bigots".
You're not fooling anybody by trying to hide your ass behind a phrase.

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.

To fully understand the moment one would have to own up to their part in creating the moment and why would anyone in his family want to do that. Between Supreme Court justices & mishandling of financial crisis & rush to war & tax cuts for rich & so much more we couldn’t be here without them!

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...

The throughline from COVID to destruction of NIH and US science today is this —Epstein-class billionaires backed the COVID disinformation effort because it decreased social trust and weakened consensus truth.

That worked very well.

Same here - and where I live I heard constant sirens for two months and I don’t think I will ever be over that. And I’m jealous of others I know in a way who seem to not carry it with them like I do but at the same time total amnesia makes no sense to me!!

Fyi I’m so glad my instinct to hate these billboards was spot on:

Omg I’m glad to learn this I’ve been hating these when I see them from the BQE!

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Fair point!

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Voters beware - and research the candidates within an inch of their lives.

They will be sending wolves in sheep's clothing into the midterms. Voters will need to do their due diligence before voting.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

Stephen Miller writes on Twitter: "Watched the Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Family Christmas with my kids. Imagine watching that and thinking America needed infinity migrants from the third world."

Don't need to imagine, Sinatra had something to say about multicultural liberal democracies 🧵

Exactly!!

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.

The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.

They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.

Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

it is incredible that legalizing watergate has been the overriding ideological project of the american right for fifty years

!!!!!!

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Fools.

lol perfect joke

Donald Trump endorsed Zohran Mamdani more enthusiastically than many mainstream Democrats.

I won't start ranting about it because I just get myself worked up, but quickly: I literally can not think of an investment of public funds that has a higher return than *cleaning the indoor air in schools*. It's so easy, so cheap, & has such HUGE payoff. Criminal that we basically don't do it.

Weirdly my Brooklyn neighborhood - which has many excellent local joints - has a papa John’s and I’m always wondering “who goes there?”

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

The answer is not to throw your hands up and abandon the Democratic Party.
The answer is to make the Democratic Party into what we want it to be.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
