There's a lot to despise gen z and gen alpha right wing podcasters for, but I think the fact that I know that "looksmaxxing" and "mogging" are words and what they mean is high up there right now.

Literally, this should be the easiest red line to agree on.

Should.

My team at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) has shared a big data update, covering all recorded US protests through Jan 2026. Some key takeaways 🧵:

I love this America so much. I am aware that I am in a constant fight, one with existential stakes but which will not be conclusively resolved, to determine whether the America that exists is the one I love or the one people like Rubio love. But it is a fight to which I am wholly committed.

Been saying that we're way too lenient with ICE and CBP agents on the street; that we're way too lenient on fascists in general.

Brown hoodie kid understands this.

If they're "sitting this one out" someone's gonna have to explain to me how it is then that my city's black community is doing a lot of the organizing here 🤔

The criminal I want deported is the criminal in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to deport himself from that location 🙃

I'm known to be a ketchup lover but this is unacceptable

Who specifically at the @kydemocrats.org and @loukydemparty.bsky.social parties do I have to beg for hosting voter registration drives? I keep trying!

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was poisoned by deadly 'dart frog' toxin, Europeans say There is no innocent explanation for the presence of the toxin detected after Navalny's death, European allies say, noting the frogs are not found in Russia.

Finally, an answer

Either he's lying again about stolen elections & should be immediately removed, or he's detached from reality & should be immediately removed.

I'm sure Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson will be all over this tomorrow & in the coming week.

This is LITERALLY just taking Mike Johnson’s lie and presenting it as fact.

I'm going to spend my long weekend (I took this coming Monday off for my birthday/Presidents Day) decolonizing more. I finally found halfway decent resources for learning the languages of the indigenous US tribes both sides of my family come from. Time to seriously learn my 'first' languages.

I'd also add that people don't need to look much further than the US to see what going down that road too long looks like for a society. You get a government run by postcaster dudebros and it goes about as well as you might think it sounds like it would.
