It would be if they still did journalism, but what the large scale media orgs seems to be for now is to put out just enough current events blurbs to sell a few papers to rubes without in any way endangering their billionaire owners’ next tee time with a politician they want to own.

Your continued insistence that it is a bad idea for Democrats to challenge Trump on issues where he is "strong" in polling because of "salience" cashes out to "Don't bother if public opinion isn't already on your side."

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

No. No we are not doing that. www.upworthy.com/what-is-gen-...

what does it say about the national party that there are candidates running on the dem ticket buying ads saying that some people are technically subhuman without reprimand or even comment. would you abide that for any other group or is this one special

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

Three days after the referendum, the reviews (& most of the ballot counts) are in. The verdict? Danielle Smith lost. Albertans denied her the cover she wanted to keep picking fights & casting blame. And hold her responsible for blowing $200M to support separatists. That’s a win. #ableg

people that love it: it fucks with your head, I can't stop thinking about it people that hate it: it fucks with your head, I can't stop thinking about it

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

The issue that matters most.

We better hear about this 10x as much as we heard about Hunter Biden's stupid laptop.

Still nothing from Schumer.

I’ve genuinely never seen a more open ad for white supremacy. This is a technology entirely requiring everyone around you to be either stupid enough to trick or powerless, which is the whole fantasy of white power.

computers are now battlefields

been a while since we had a good internet worm

HUGE NEWS: John Oliver agrees with me about ending the wretched existence of the fuzzy ball with teeth. Why does it have teeth

“But if you aren’t religious, how can you know right from wrong??”

In a remarkable omission, this article on young people involved in Alberta separatism shouts out the podcast of two young women interviewed—but fails to mention what sort of programming they produce! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

To want it is foolish; to fear it is weakness.

It's a key part of conservative ideology: "I have no obligations to you and I can treat you however I like, but you are required to love me."

No one needs to listen to James Carville about anything. But I'll keep saying this until I'm blue in the face: It's not the lefties who hold Democrats hostage in Congress, IT'S THE MODERATES. Bernie Sanders never killed a Democratic bill he didn't like. You know who did? Joe Manchin. Many times.

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

I got through the whole thing in about a half hour. Definitely plan on taking longer than usual, especially as the day goes on: the process has been made inefficient on purpose to suppress turnout and give separatists every edge they can steal.

For everyone who tried to tell me this weirdo wasn't a plant.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Retired guy whose healthcare bill is entirely paid for by working adults talking about how he shouldn’t have to pay for other people’s kids to go to school while standing in front of a mansion he owns is really just an excellent encapsulation of the Republican base.

watched You Can See Everything and left the theater with more questions than answers. so she built some sort of device and everyone got mad??

Just an insane way to frame this

Really like that Abdul El-Sayed is totally willing to put smarmy little dumbshit wrecker wannabes on blast to his campaign's entire social media following

My short-form review of You Can See Everything: "Let me tell ya. There are worse things than death. There's such a thing as evil" www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWRV...

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
