Show your work.

If true, GREAT! I don't want the Brill Cream and Tooth Polish suit. But this past year my socials have been *overrun* with Blue No Matter Who types demanding fealty to Gav before a primary. So forgive the paranoia. I mean, do you people remember Bernie and the DNC fuckery?

I guess I'm glad to see a fair bit of pushback against Newsom as nominee but I'm also seeing it framed as a response to Newsom "doomerism" and that feels very what the fuck are you talking about. Like posts saying "He won't make it past the primary and you're silly for worrying about it." Really???

It’s 2026 right? Why are people posting about who I have to vote for in 2028 or else

Scholarship, sure. But also a vibranium shield.

"okay"

Might've been slightly ahead of the curve on a return to the old way of TV production. I know HBO execs have talked about that a fair bit recently.

It did a great job of respecting the original while proudly moving forward on its own.

“Any fun plans for AIDS Denial Weekend?”

💯

😕 definitely the least funny thing Nate has done

FLASHBACK: “They chased him, he got home and when we closed the door they shot him.”

👇🏽a family calling the police with ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & child inside

ICE NOW ADMITS DHS/NOEM lied 🤥 that the man attacked agents with a shovel

"zoomers are killing the bar industry" oh interesting was it zoomers who decided a drink should cost seventeen dollars

Personal fantasy scenario, do not take seriously:

AOC absolutely demolishing this dipshit in a primary "debate" (quotes for his sake).

We continue to see no drawdown today with ICE activity in the Phillips neighborhood, Columbia Heights, and Shakopee.

Our pressure is working as the Senate bill to fund DHS did not pass last night. Keep up the pressure by reaching out to your federal representatives.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.

Black Women Are Losing Jobs At Three Times The Rate Of Other Women | Essence New labor data shows Black women accounted for a disproportionate share of job losses across 2025, especially in federal, education, and care-sector roles.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."

😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!

"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."

Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

reminds of that old bible story of how people were hungry and jesus conjured himself a security detail bsky.app/profile/carl...

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

A few folks who I otherwise agree with and appreciate have gotten on my nerves with that. Who the fuck can maintain any kind of concentration on the dozens of daily goddam outrages this administration engages in? Acting like it's a moral failing to be exhausted by these fucking people is absurd.

"X horrible thing was done/said by right-winger Y and we've already moved on."

Ya know... Fuck off. If you're an online journo or commentator who posts several times a day about a different awful thing and you throw that "we've moved on" shit out, stfu. It is fucking IMPOSSIBLE to keep up.

Cool. Moderna sucks. RFK's HHS sucks. Money should not determine moving forward on these vaccines. But they're not able to make money because RFK is a conspiracy dipshit.

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments.

Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.

Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

Watch this bearded loaf of Wonderbread stumblebum his way through a non-answer.

Have *you* read what you actually wrote?

Add this to the growing list of reasons to boycott the Olympics.

How anyone doesn't see through this self-dealing hype is beyond me.

They posted an article about the possibility of AOC entering the race, which has dick-all to do with Gav, and IMMEDIATELY brought him into it. WTF else would you call that if not carrying water? And kudos on bringing in *another* tangential mf'er. Any other undeclared centrist you wanna drag in?
