“At a moment when many doubted Lula could reverse the result, a WhatsApp channel called Lula's Army emerged, and rapidly grew to 10.8 million followers. Led by Congressman André Janones, the operation encouraged supporters to share videos, promote hashtags and recruit new voters.” 1/

PSA: If you’re more upset about Obama making a joke about Cheesecake Factory than you are about Trump making it impossible for you to afford to EAT at a Cheesecake Factory, then congratulations, because YOU are an idiot, and an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

Do you know why the cops keep pulling me over and giving me a breathalyzer after I have six drinks at the bar and swerve into oncoming traffic? Because I keep crushing the test, that’s why.

Trump: "You know, the first question -- they have a lion, a snake, a giraffe, and a bear. And they say 'which is the snake?' ... by the time you get to number five a lot of people are left out on the road ... I get no credit for it."

Just a periodic, friendly reminder that we could actually avoid all this by not caring who’s attracted to, who’s having sex with who, who’s marrying who, let alone believing any of it should matter in public policy. We could just all mind our own business and all have rights. ✨

MAGAs want you to be afraid of the non-existent threat of "Islamic Shariah replacing the Constitution" so you remain distracted from their full court press of Christian Shariah, i.e. Project 2025 actually replacing the Constitution.

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

Sexual assault is so common that I have to assume any man who complains about it or blames victims is guilty of it. Anyone who uses one false accusation to question us. Anyone who asks why she didn't report or requires a criminal conviction. I just assume you're guilty.

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

It was then they realised that it wasn't the task that was the point, it was the way you used your mind to complete it. But by then, it was all too late....

And imagine if the media turned this kind of scrutiny and skepticism against police, politicians, and powerful interests instead of vulnerable victims of gang rape? What a world we could have

George W. Bush had plenty of opportunities to speak up. January 6th. The January 6th Committee. Trump’s return to power. Mostly silence. But now he’s stepping back into politics to help Republican senators get reelected? Yeah. I have some thoughts.

Cornell University takes rape so seriously that seven #ChiPhi fraternity rapists (Matthew Ingalls, Jonathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris and Scott Kretzschmar) were punished by having to write an essay. And you wonder why women don't feel safe . . .

NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?
