Just a guy, with a keyboard, talking about politics and race relations. I was calling myself a liberal back when FOX News tried to make it a slur.

There are three classes: rich, poor, and empty
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
Do posters on Xitter count as H1B employees?

They are definitely doing the jobs that Americans won't.

The Tapper/Cassidy interview just reminds me that the role of these cable/weekly news shows is not to inform the public or hold officials accountable.

It's to give them a platform to lie and obfuscate the truth, and if they do a good enough job, then the anchors move on, like it's a game.

I'd put good money on a bet that someone told Elon that Democrats were using fake accounts based in other countries for fake support, knowing that it was actually Republicans doing it, and Elon, like the dope he is, thought he'd expose the Dem operation by showing their location.
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Yes. Please get dressed up for your journey in a cramped seat, as you enjoy your half a can of soda and dry ass crackers.

I specifically stay up all night so I can sleep through the entire ordeal when I fly.
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

The way for Dems to deal with MTG is not to recruit her as a Democrat. They should be challenging her to rise above partisanship and vote for legislation that helps all Americans, regardless if it's from Democrats or Republicans. Hold her feet to fire and make her prove she's turned over a new leaf

SNL: Golden Bachelorette, but it's Olivia Nuzzi giving out the roses.
If Saturday Night Live doesn't have a skit on this...

It's BEGGING to be mocked to hell and back.

We don't shame men enough for thinking that they are after anything but a plaything when they chase women just after high school. IDC if it's legal, these dudes are one step removed from the dudes Epstein was serving.
What would you call it when a man in his 50s spends time convincing an 18 year old girl to sleep with him when she turns 19, @olbermann.bsky.social?

This has been a rough week for women named Greene inside of the Republican party...🤣🤣🤣
November 22, 2025 at 2:58 PM
IDC... Olivia Nuzzi deserves all the smoke and the way ppl are rushing to save her by not covering her is just a reminder that White are allowed to fail up in ways that no minority could get away with.

I hope we cover her so much that she becomes a meme and a cautionary tale.

Can't explain it but these guys are just the same guy but race-swapped.
November 22, 2025 at 3:24 AM
I made a pretty solid prediction, if I do say so myself.

Marjorie Taylor Greene knows who her party is, and is absolutely ready to separate herself from it.

That's better than I can say for 95% of people who say they're Republicans.
I can see her as someone who could make a pivot bc she realizes the rightwing talking points don't jibe with their stated purpose, and she either leaves politics or goes independent.

Best case scenario, she might be a Republican that will occasionally buck the party-line vote for the greater good

With all the bootlicking and fawning from world leaders & corporate leaders & sports figures, it's wild watching the Brown-skin Muslim socialist be the first person to come to the White House and walk away with their dignity intact.

In a very cynical sense, the very last enterprise that should be privately-run, instead of government-run, are prisons.

Like why are we outsourcing prison management so that a private company can run a prison badly when we can just let the government run prisons badly and save money?

I still can't get over the fact that so many of these emails are between people that write like morons. 😭

I don't mean wrt subject matter
I mean grammatically and wrt sentence structure.

The fact that MFers were rushing to give this guy money is as big a red flag as anything.
November 21, 2025 at 6:13 PM
Yeah... we need a law that automatically makes all newspapers not-for-profit. We've seen what the for-profit model of news is doing and it's not benefitting anyone.
Ugh. So fucking awful.

My first job in journalism was as a copy editor, and I truly believe it taught me as much about journalism — on the copy desk in Warren, Ohio — as anything else I’ve learned since.
Stop laying off copy editors and then complaining about errors and lack of reader trust challenge

Staff email:

"Dear team,

Please stop responding to Sam with sarcasm. He has a lot on his mind which is forcing him to take what you say at face value.

Thank you"
I laughed at loud. These people are so pathetic; our enemies are numbskulls. They will kill us all and still not know hs physics.

COWEN: The stupidest question possible: Why don’t we just make more GPUs?

ALTMAN: Because we need to make more electrons.

"Are we leaving a trail of death and carnage behind in Gaza? Yes.

Does it trigger ppl who were conditioned to oppose strong regimes that leave this kind of devastation on weak populations? Yes.

Is it a problem that the youth aren't reflexively defending Israel for being the baddies? Also, yes."
Sharing the video of this because it’s such a ghoulish thing to say that I’m honestly in disbelief that I even heard her properly

I've been making the point for years that Republicans will always try to identify a Black female villain every election cycle, and without a further ado... we our newest target for 2025:

Stacey Plaskett (D), House of Representatives

Someone needs look back at all the times attacks a reporter in the press group and plot out the M:F ratio.

We already know what that looks like, but it would be cool to see it captured.

The pessimist in me would take good odds that somehow Chuck Schumer kills this and frames it as a bipartisan win because he maybe gets to vote on ACA or something.

Nothing has made me feel like our military is ticking time bomb like Trump 2.0. On paper & in rhetoric we're supposed to have all these checks & balances to prevent a madman from going Genghis Khan on the world.

In practice?

Media? Weak
Oppo party? Powerless
Courts? Corrupted
Legislature? Owned

Hands down the funniest thing about Nick Fuentes is how he delights in making his Conservative haters about how not racist they are.

"Oh you don't like me bc I'm a racist? Well my BFF President Trump thinks I'm kinda swell, so he really sucks, Ben Shapiro?"
November 17, 2025 at 8:40 PM
I bet if you offered a deal to the GOP that Dems would cede all coverage/investigation/prosecution of anything related to the Epstein files to Republicans in exchange for Republicans never mentioning trans people/what is a woman/bathroom bills/etc... most of them would take that deal in a heartbeat.
