One of those people Drake was talking about when he said “y’all sleep at the Sheraton”

Guess we’re doing this again 🦜🚮

I was using emdashes aggressively before chatGPT was even born.
One thing I still I love about America is that despite social media’s attempts to paint us in explicitly binary fashion of red and blue there are still 1 million shades of American politics and opinions. I don’t agree with Ventura on a ton, I agree with everything he says here.
In case you haven't seen the Jesse Ventura video, see it now:

These Minnesota people — Frey, Walz, Sens Smith + Klobuchar, Keith Ellison, now Ventura — are not fooling around.

Again, we don't have an Opposition Party, not even close; these people are a dangerous fucking joke, the lowest bar possible.

We have a room full of people who are "colleagues" with fascists, who protect their capital at all cost & do the bare minimum to gaslight enough people to get reelected.
Alexander Van Hook is confirmed 53-40 to be a District Judge of Western Louisiana. According to @senatepress.bsky.social, the Dems yeas are Dick Durbin (IL), Maggie Hassan (NH), Tim Kaine (VA), Amy Klobuchar (MN), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), and Peter Welch (VT). Angus King (I-ME) was also a yea.

Not on my 2026 bingo card: “Geraldo makes some very good points”
Geraldo Rivera on the ICE shooting: "She didn’t want to hit anybody. She didn't want to run over anybody. To pretend that that was a possibility, given the fact -- I mean, do you believe me or do you believe your lying eyes? Are your lying eyes telling you something that you know is not true?"

I’m seeing a lot of people predict that “the right wing media is going to turn this story for Trump” and “they’re going to work overtime to make America forget this” and you should tell that to all these people out there in Minnesota in fucking January. This can matter. This will matter.
A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Really need the embarrassing @washingtonpost.com to be more specific with the “many arguing” that Trump should be allowed to weigh-in on state policy in exchange for duly required aid. Jefferson is rolling in his grave and everyone laid off or left the Post is embarrassed by this.
President Trump has so far withheld federal relief funds, with many arguing that California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats in the deep-blue state have mishandled the fires and should be forced to rescind liberal policies in exchange for aid.
California awaits disaster relief as GOP offers full support of Texas
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), during a trip to South Carolina, highlighted the plight of Los Angeles communities still recovering from devastating wildfires.

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

Guess who I trust 1,000x more than @sallyjenx.bsky.social?

@sulliview.bsky.social - thank you for so cogently distilling down the outrage those of us actually concerned with freedom and liberty in this country had with this move. I hope Sally pulls her head out of the sand to read this piece.

The fact that incessantly centrist™️ pundits like @mattyglesias.bsky.social are like “ignore Van Hollen, he’s in a safely blue seat etc etc” is insane to me. This man’s messaging - not just on immigration - has hit every single high note. His messaging should BE Dem messaging right now.
Remember who was sitting right behind Donald Trump on his Inauguration Day? The richest man in the world, the tech billionaire tycoons, and his billionaire cabinet. He’s certainly delivering his “golden age” for them, but it’s crumbs for everyone else. That’s the Trump economy.
Trump's 'Golden Age' has arrived for the top 10%
The robust GDP numbers reported this week mask the extent to which wealthy Americans are driving growth.

Nearly a full day after Bari’s fiasco has fully unfurled, complete with an accidental posting of the spiked clip on Canadian TV and the only post from @sallyjenx.bsky.social today is some lame article she wrote linking elder athlete Philip Rivers to Lindsay Vonn…
Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I’m particularly struck by Bari homing in on the student analysis as not relevant to the piece. These students working for a human rights center used video footage to prove that Noem stood in front of el Salvadoran prisoners that had been at CECOT for years. Specifically NOT the deportees sent there
The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

The deputy attorney general of the United States went on the Sunday shows this morning and shamelessly lied through his sweaty little teeth. Yes of course they are specifically redacting Trump shit. Yes of course Trump is deeply implicated in the Epstein files.

To anyone that has been praising @gavinnewsom.bsky.social very online performative bull shit that has had zero effect in LA: @govpritzker.illinois.gov and Governor Kotek of Oregon have taken actual steps to either prevent federal troop invasion, or expel them shortly after their arrival.

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

Tom has long been taken seriously by the media elite and certainly by Tom himself when the takes have always been this dumb. The idea that there’s only maximalist no social media posting fascism and that masked agents jumping out of unmarked rental cars to haul off your neighbors doesn’t count…
If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.
the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

@erinbiba.bsky.social DJs deal with this nonsense a lot. They’ve even released at least one banger to specifically address this.

The parallels here to early 3rd reich are becoming more pronounced. Deportation Barbie goes on TV and lies that DHS is focused on murders and drug dealers. Yet here they are arresting 100s of South Korean nationals that likely committed no non-immigration related crimes apple.news/Auhjf1hSvS_-...

@mondairejones.bsky.social you were just on Katy Tur’s show claiming authoritatively the Ukraine war is deeply unpopular which seems to be demonstrably false so I’m just wondering what you are talking about/ looking at?
