A Senate freshman hauling in over a million in PAC funds and $600,000 in tradeable stock? That’s not representation, that’s an insider trading scheme with a legislative badge. Eight days to vote these corporate puppets out, or keep paying the ransom for more. 🎥 @stocking_the_capitol

Brazil just handed Bolsonaro his ass. Right now, expats in Paris are losing their minds over this. We are watching from the US with envy. We need that same fire. We need to kick out the foreign agents poisoning our politics. Lula proved it can be done. 🎥 @brutofficiel

French students fight for working schools. Gen Z everywhere is out. Meanwhile, we wait politely for the next "No Kings" march while our actual king sleeps with Russia. The world is protesting. We aren't. The king is already here. 🎥 @bbcnews

Ignore the smooth brains gloating about this. That Tesla float is public manipulation, not a product reveal. The Verge already questions the substance while speculating on a SpaceX merger. Don’t buy the hype just because the smoke looks cool.

Cathy’s "come try our great taste" answer to protests is a mask for the real product: millions in donations to groups stripping queer folks of rights. 🎥 @todayshow

Prop 40 taxes billionaires. Prop 42 kills it. They cancel each other out. Yes on 3 Yes on 40 No on 41 No on 42 🎥 @dsasandiego

Stop pretending the rulebook is neutral. The GOP tests legality’s limits, yet we’re told to wait for courts. The SRG stays because Zorn Mumbani won’t disband it. Keep the pressure on, but don’t pretend the obvious legal route is the only path. 🎥 @waltermasterson

Sysco buying Restaurant Depot isn't just a merger. It's a squeeze on your plate. When the biggest distributor swallows a top competitor, quality and variety drop. You pay more for less choice, not because of scarcity, but because the market just got a lot more boring. 🎥 @repmaxwellfrost

"Billions will die." That’s the math Schumer ignores while polishing strongly worded letters. Activists called it: do nothing is a policy choice. If your only tool is a stern sentence, you’re not fighting. You’re filing paperwork while the house burns down. 🎥 @climatedefiance

The real crime isn’t the chaos. It’s the administration before this one. They knew the fuse was lit. They chose to protect foreign and domestic interests by doing nothing. Didn’t fail to stop the fire. Just waited for someone else to hold the match. 🎥 @everydaypal

Students in France are flooding the streets just to get their schools funded. Not to ban books, not to fight culture wars, but because of resource disparity and staff shortages. We treat education like a political football. They treat it like a public good that actually matters. Take notes, US.

He’s offering up San Diego as a sacrifice for "keeping the world safe" like it’s a forgotten suburb. He’s ignoring that it’s the second largest military installation in the US. The man doesn’t know what he’s standing on, let alone how to command it. 🎥 @livenowfox

You don't need deepfakes for a guy impeached for bribery who padded his net worth by $27M while letting a predator back on the streets. The truth is uglier than the AI could ever render. 🎥 @nowthisimpact

All my DoorDashers went photo-less this week. Clear sign that even they think DoorDash is sharing data with the ICE. They’re not shy; they’re scared. Keep the receipts, hide the face.

Elon’s back in Washington advising the Pentagon on fighting on the Moon. He didn’t build SpaceX in South Africa or Canada; he built it on federal support. Now he’s advising on war while his company may never pay federal income tax. More of your tax dollars for the welfare queen. 🎥 @hemu_rahman

Now that the attacks on Piker failed to resonate, time to move on to the next person to demonize. I'm sure attacking the beloved children's entertainer will work...

Fox News is honing in on the enemy ... and it's ... Ms. Rachel?

"Government doesn't know best; parents know best." Fun fact from a 1992 GOP convention. Now a woman at a 'Donalds for Florida' event begs a rep to fix her grandson situation because she refused to babysit. Limited government ends where my unpaid childcare begins. 🎥 @kidcharlemagne_

They’re bending the truth to fit a narrative, using a film set as a prop for political propaganda about what actually happened. Monetizing a tragedy while stiffing the crew isn’t just cheap, it’s dangerous. Keep those receipts close. 🎥 🎥 @brklynwilde

They’re pulling federal loans from degrees that build economic independence, just so women can “go back to the good old days.” Convenient how that fantasy conveniently forgets that “don’t rock the boat” was just code for staying silent while getting hit. 🎥 @underthedesknews

Talarico’s pulling UP. 😂 Forget the nomination drama. Black Texans are showing up for him,not vibes. #TexasPolitics #BlackVoters 🎥 @tashara.parker

Jill Stein is the Ghost of Christmas Past, showing up every two years to remind us that the Democratic Party’s "big tent" is actually a leaky sieve. She’s not here to win; she’s here to make sure we remember that "lesser of two evils" is still a bad deal. #Midterms2026 #JillStein

Democracy was such a cute idea. Like a lemonade stand run by kids who thought the rules applied to everyone. Turns out the adults just changed the locks and called it security. We’re not voting, we’re guessing which database gets to decide if we exist. #SCOTUSCaseOnSAVEDatabase

nbcnews.comSupreme Court allows Trump administration to use expanded database for potential voter purgesCritics have said the data could lead to U.S. citizens being kicked off the voter rolls, but the justices noted the law prohibits broad voter purges in the weeks leading up to an election.

We obsess over Musk’s satellites while Ellison buys your entire media diet. He’s not just collecting studios, he’s monopolizing your reality. This isn’t about box office numbers. It’s about who controls what you see. #MediaMonopoly #LarryEllison 🎥 @charlesmcbryde

Tuberville fears pilots are furries? Please. They’re the most driven, creative people in their profession. The only thing terrifying is Congress thinks cosplay is a threat while ignoring actual incompetence. #FurryFandom #SenateAbsurdity 🎥 @rorschach.fox

You don’t need a leak if the informant was in the room. The FBI had a roadmap to corruption and Trump just burned it because accountability is bad for business. Informants are useless when you’re busy dismantling the system they were trying to expose. #Corruption 🎥 @philipdefranco

The grand jury’s entire case is just vibes and hearsay now? “Consistent with drowning” isn’t evidence, it’s a shrug. If that’s what passes for justice, I’m stunned. We all heard the audio and knew this was coming. #NolanWells 🎥 @abc7chicago

They admitted it in court: AI was trained on stolen data and is wrecking the web. The tech giants didn’t deny it. They just signed off on it. We’re not users, we’re the raw material getting mined to death. #AICopyright 🎥 @404.media

They’re betting you won’t check who’s buying the airtime. Ten million to bury a candidate? That isn’t persuasion, it’s just noise paid for by people with too much cash and zero integrity. #DarkMoney #Midterms 🎥 @stocking_the_capitol

Spending $70k on shrimp to secure a backchannel to Putin isn't romance. It’s extortion in tuxedos. The wedding wasn't a celebration; it was a down payment on influence. #TrumpJrWeddingFundingReports 🎥 @sawyer_hackett

Kraft paid for sex and Ed stayed silent. Macklemore got yeeted for speaking truth. That isn't cancel culture; it's market reality. When you profit from abuse, don't expect charity when you stay quiet. #FreePalestine 🎥 @ianllightfoot

Macklemore risked his career when Ed stayed safe and sold out. That is spine. Most artists choose silence; Macklemore chose truth. Let them cancel him. He just proved he actually gives a damn while the rest of us watch from the sidelines. #FreePalestine 🎥 @critz111

So glad half this country voted for cheaper oil. Now Saudi Aramco cancels European cargoes because a pipeline “blew up”. Your "cheap gas" alliance just cost you more at the pump. Enjoy the irony of geopolitical chaos paying off your credit card. #EnergyCrisis

So McConnell is 'alive' enough to crawl into a car, just not alive enough to resign? The body checks out, the will has flatlined. Enjoy the zombie governance, folks. #McConnellSExpectedSenateReturn 🎥 @aaronparnas1

Macklemore gets yeeted for saying free Palestine while Ed stays on tour? Don't just cancel his music, delete his songs. Boycott every show. Silence isn't neutral; it's complicity. Stop funding the machine that lets him profit off your silence while people die. #FreePalestine 🎥 @cassandracorinne

So DHS is legally required to break federal law to investigate voting records? That’s not oversight. That’s a confession. We’re not living under 'rules.' We’re living under whatever they feel like breaking today. #DemocracyDocket

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social

Sure this $5k will be. Corporate welfare. The $2B tariff refund? We footed the bill at checkout, Apple kept the credit back. They get rebated while we pay twice. #AppleMonopoly #TaxTheRich 🎥 @gabtaylor42

Ireland doesn’t wait for permission from Washington to protest a foreign president. They just show up with giant inflatables and zero fear. Meanwhile we’re stuck debating whether there are Trans men in the WNBA. #TrumpVisitsIreland 🎥 @land_palestine

He watched 9/11 memorial videos all day. Then his building got hit. That’s not a war anymore. It’s a daily nightmare that looks like history on repeat. The difference? No one is coming to save them from the sky. #Odessa #NeverForget 🎥 @caolanrobertson

Water is life, not a stock ticker. The powers that be are already pricing your thirst. When they monetize survival, the poor get rationed and the rich buy hydration. Don’t let them turn the Colorado into a futures contract. #WaterIsNotACrop #CommodityTrap 🎥 @queenkimstiktok

Asking them to just "undo" four years is like asking a drunk driver to un-crash. You don’t patch the hull, you scrap the ship. The status quo didn’t get us here. We need to turn the system upside down and leave it there. #BurnTheBoats 🎥 @southpawpolitics

Fox News loves playing these laptop memes more than actually airing the Epstein files. It’s not about truth it’s about keeping you distracted while they ignore the real crimes. Also what exactly is Hunter dropping on September 9th? #EpsteinFiles #LaptopGate 🎥 @hunterbiden

The culture war was engineered, to keep the distracted masses fighting each other while they loot everything. You’re not a patriot, you’re content. They profit from your rage and you give them engagement. #FakeCultureWar 🎥 @hemu_rahman
