He probably thought it was like vax nanites and wanted to get out of there before they formed the Liquid Metal face of a creepy baby

RFK junior seems incredibly scared and misunderstanding of germs and sickness, these actions make total sense to me given everything I know about him

horoscopes by christ... @Cjdeck1 Pouring one out for Dick Cheney

have you poured one out for dick cheney

Democrats he has just given you the easiest layup in the history of politics. He could've taken the off ramp political win with his base and blame the woke judge for forcing his hand but no he doubled down and appealed the ruling because HE WANTS PEOPLE TO STARVE.

By the way Senate Dems, you realize that you absolutely cannot reopen the government right? Look at this shit here. He's being told by a judge to pay out OUR TAX MONEY already earmarked for SNAP and he's not going to fucking do it. What do you think he'll do with any "deal" you make?

Creating? CREATING??? JFC, folks, MAGA has been LIVING in an alternate reality since at least 2016. It went into overdrive after J6 & now Trump & Co. do not even pretend to accept reality nor engage with facts. They simply cater to the imaginary world they have created.

Watch how government ‘propaganda’ techniques portray Chicago as a city at war with the feds The government’s social media storytelling doesn’t always match what’s happening in the across the city and suburbs. The diverging sources of information are creating “parallel universes," Professor Nick Cull says.

"Tisch didn’t violate any sanctuary city laws... Tisch ordered officers to remain on the sidelines in order to comply with such laws, which bar the city from helping the feds with civil immigration enforcement, and, conversely, to also avoid any sort of standoff between ICE agents and city cops."

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch got Trump admin heads up before ICE raid on Canal Street The revelation that Tisch had advance knowledge of the Trump administration’s Canal St. raids could raise a number of complicated questions for Zohran Mamdani, the mayoral-elect who has said …

"NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch received advance notice from the Trump administration last month that ICE agents were about to conduct a controversial immigration enforcement raid along Canal Street... In response, sources say Tisch directed NYPD officers to stay away from the ICE agents"

Καλημέρα σε όλους εκτός από φασίστες, ρατσιστές κλπ.

Me too. The moral panic, that was intentionally created was disgusting . There is a lot of work to do now-because some people-many of them Jews- are really scared

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

JUST IN: The first post of a major Trump meltdown. #NoKings ❌👑

Let every mention of his name be followed by a groan or a chuckle in all future backroom deals

May the Cuomo name be irreparably tarnished

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Pains me to say it but I think this is true. Some of my colleagues in the media who’ve stayed on X don’t even realize how badly its noxious algorithm is skewing their perception of politics and reality.

Also, that place seems designed to make you miserable unless you’re a Nazi. It’s just wretched.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

currently running neck and neck with "write ins"

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Normal People: I wouldn’t normally vote for X but under these circumstances again against these evil opponents they are the only choice:

Other Normal People: Let’s work together where we agree

Bluesky People: UNACCEPTABLE, I DEMAND YOU EXPLAIN WHY YOU DON’T ALWAYS SUPPORT X

Every. Fucking. Time.

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Only Donald Trump could get a socialist elected as mayor of America's largest city.

It's really kind of amazing. He only has himself to blame.

We have evidence now going back to 2018 that when Trump isn't on the ballot, it's grim scenes for Republicans.

And he'll never (lawfully) be on the ballot again.

Once more, for old times’ sake
