It’s so hard to read this and not think about the many, many indictments of Trump and his co-conspirators. And the evidence here seems thinner.
This is a good time to re-read the NYT’s profile of Nick Fuentes from last week and the far-right anti-Semitic, deeply racist “groyper” movement that appears to have motivated Tyler Robinson. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/u...
This article is a bit old, but I just had no understanding of this conflict between the far right TPUSA faction and the even farther right, nationalist, Christian new right "groypers." It's just insane and scary.
The ref cam is kinda cool, tbh. I’m just having trouble speaking or writing or thinking the words “da zone.”
I know that countless international academics are being arrested by ICE, but Ksenila’s story is heartbreaking and Dems need to sing it from the mountaintops: A unique and brilliant mind who will end up in a Russian gulag if deported while humanity looses a vital cancer researcher. It’s insanity.
I dunno, when we elect these uber moderate rural west dems, we just end up getting people like MGP who supports dismantling our democracy, so, worth it?
First example I’ve seen in my industry of tariffs effect. A $5,000 camera is now $6,600. Just insane.
A couple of years ago, I noticed that Dems were losing ground with Latino voters. I launched a Spanish-language YouTube channel to reach those people. That channel is now on its way to 300,000 subscribers and has nearly 50 million views. We have be aggressive and go into spaces we're not already in.
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org
Sorry small business owners, but you voted for this tariff madness, guess you're going to have to deal with it.
Wait for it...
"Ms. Campbell, the seller of religious goods, said she was contemplating passing some of the additional costs from tariffs on to her customers."
There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵
Stay strong Zelensky
Trump is an international disgrace. The way he treated Zelensky was un-American. Only a traitor who is Putin's puppet would be this horrible. Unforgivable.
Corporate leaders who were fine with Trump sadistically imposing mass suffering on vulnerable groups as long as they got their tax cuts deserve every last bit of what this madman is now unleashing on them with these tariffs. Assholes.
I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
This comments section is the first time I've felt even a shred of hope in eight days.
Moments ago, we were endorsed by Governors Kelly, Beshear, Lujan Grisham, Whitmer, Healey, Kotek & Mills.
Honored by their support! Investing in the leadership of Dem govs will help us unite, fight, and win everywhere.
GDP has risen 12.6 percent over Biden’s tenure, far outpacing both predictions made even before Covid became a household name and growth in other advanced countries.
On Sunday, I launched my campaign to chair the DNC. I'm looking forward to talking with DNC members & allies about how we can unite our party, fight on every platform in every place, and win – with a year-round campaign strategy for each and every state and territory.

Of course @gregsargent.bsky.social is right. Just as Trump will use tariff exemptions to extort private favors, he'll use deportation exemptions for same. The livelihood and security of cleaners reduced to whether their hotel's CEO has flattered Trump or lined his pockets or undermined a shared foe.

It’s great to start Thanksgiving by serving hungry New Yorkers— and nobody does it better than @bowerymission. CEO James Winans says the need is rising.
I genuinely don't think I can handle the next four years of New York Times headlines.
Kill me now.

It defies logic. I didn’t understand when it happened, I don’t understand today, & I still won’t understand tomorrow. I just continue to distract myself, allow some moments of anger & sadness here & there then I breathe deeply & hope against hope that the world doesn’t fall apart.
I just can’t. I feel like I’m in the fucking upside down world. This guy Bessent is clearly a very successful hedge fund bro. Awesome for him, I guess! But for fucking fuck sake he was mentored by Soros, worked for Soros, his fund was STARTED BY SOROS WITH 2 BILLION DOLLARS. The hypocrisy is just…
Well here’s a description of his boarding-school educated “southern belle” mother, from her obituary:
“she was the first in the area to begin mixing antique furniture with what is now known as mid-century modern… Barbara was also a stickler for dress, manners, grammar and cocktails with dinner.”
