That Vance is a direct line to Thiel and Andreessen is truly important. Trump wants their money. Thiel wants to sell billions in Palantir contracts to power Trump’s mass surveillance/ethnic cleansing infrastructure. Pence was the Christian Nationalists’ guy. Vance is reactionary capital’s.

Are you a fan of all of those guys who are directly responsible for making the internet an unusable dogshit hellhole? Well boy do I have a VP for you.

It remains wild to me how much better AOC is at “doing politics” than something like 98 percent of Democrats. The Supreme Court is historically popular and insanely corrupt! Holding them accountable is good policy AND good politics! ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

This Is How Democrats Should Be Treating the Supreme Courtballsandstrikes.org AOC's decision to file of articles of impeachment against Thomas and Alito is how Democrats should be engaging with a corrupt Supreme Court.

Decade after decade of stochastic terror, gun rights fervor, & the foment of conspiratorial thinking by, from, on, & within the right, & yet it's somehow DEMOCRATS & the LEFT who need to "calm things down" or "lower the temperature?" Nah son. We *been* calm, and quite fucking cool and collected. …

Well I'm given to understand that today & for a VERY limited time, our nation's political violence party is shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame.

Some of you are intent upon chasing one of America's premier public intellectuals and op-ed columnists off of bluesky with your inappropriate behavior. Just as you chased off Tressie McMillan Cottom and other Black thinkers. It's hurtful and degrading, so stop these ad hominem attacks.

Joe Biden at the convention: I’ve got one thing to say to you folks…and that is that I am and have always been Dash Tenderpaws

I’m sorry but “Joe Biden was behind the furries who hacked the Heritage Foundation” is the most nonsense 2024 headline generator shit I’ve ever heard.

No other way to describe this. Pure evil. www.fastcompany.com/91153816/int...

I'm not kidding. Chapter 14 of Project 2025 (see: "Agenda 47") is the part of their plan where they'd cut back medical services to the point where every poor sick & disabled person will, quite simply, not be able to afford to stay alive. This could be your grandmother, your uncle, your cousin. You.

"every trick in the book" = got more votes this is why right wingers think letting people vote who don't vote the way right wingers want is election fraud / voter fraud a free & fair election is one in which right wingers get to vote & have their votes counted, and no one else

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

Jack Posobiec is a very influential MAGA media figure. He posted this today. In the 1930s Fr. Denis Fahey was probably most well know for being one of the most outspoken anti-semites in the world...quite an accomplishment for that era.

a dead giveaway that project 2025 was written specifically for—and with input from—trump:

A widely predicted victory for the far right in France has instead turned into a victory for the left *because people turned out in record numbers to vote.* Defeat is not inevitable and more progressive elected officials means more progressive policies.

In France, the left coalition comes in first, Macron second, the far-right third. The best way to defeat fascism is not centrism, it’s a strong left.

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.

Today in "Trump didn't write this, someone on his campaign staff did." I don't know if Kellyanne Conway is working for Trump these days but this feels more like her style, voice, and syntax than Trump or those posting on his behalf recently.

what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

It really is making *me* feel crazy to see a bunch of other Democrat voters running around screaming about how Biden is now unelectable, on the basis of one bad debate and an incredibly obvious ratfucking campaign by America’s most craven newspaper.
