heres an example of politico covering the news while still covering for trump. the headline says trump is calling for a "trial" for dems. but what trump actually said is the dems should be offed. its very plain what he said. not saying so is a cover-up.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting.

As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Emily, this entire thread is simply emphasizing that we have Moved Beyond the Need for the New York Times.

There is simply no way to reasonably defend their last decade of utter professional and ethical depravity.

This is so offensive I don’t even know where to start.

“Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.”

Nope.

We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours.

You work for us.

“Negotiating your own insurance” will result in everyone getting the dirt-cheapest junk plan which covers virtually nothing, because most people are terrible at risk assessment.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

That is also not my wife.

Times like these I wish I could cancel my subscription again. Good grief.

I read it; it’s so so dumb.
The say “woke” or “wokeness” - I am not joking - 25 times.

These people cannot conceive of the idea that while society teaches us gendered behavior & there are observable differences between the genders, people are wonderfully diverse & never neatly filed into boxes.

Brand new data:

Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).

These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.

Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

If the Senate Dems don't realize the kind of upper hand they have against Trump in this moment - and if they let a chunk of their caucus (8 Dems) fold after get a "a promised vote" from the Republicans - not sure what else is there to say.

“we will not comply with court orders demanding we spend the money congress has allocated to feed the hungry” is quite the message when you’re trying to get congress to come back and allocate money

Once again, marginal income tax and capital gains tax rates are too low and pose an existential threat to American democracy

We don't cast off one segment of society to save ourselves. It's a betrayal of everything we're trying to defend. It's a cowardly kind of self-preservation.

If your plan for escaping this bank robbery involves deliberately killing a few of our fellow hostages, maybe sit this chat out for a while?

These are likely the same people who pretended that Kamala was too hard. 🙄

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

I vote you pull out a torch for one of these squares. 🤤

zuckerberg probably released this mod himself

Ahh yes. The impossible standard of “don’t be a nazi.”

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

I don't think people understand how horrific this is. I can think of no reason other than to pave the way to run trials while forcing or misleading people. It will start with prisoners and immigrants, then move on from there.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

It’s 2025, and Democrats Are Still Running Against Trump

There's just no way to exaggerate how cooked your brain has to be to think like this. Trump is an unprecedented, law-breaking, norm-breaking, increasingly demented maniac who is destroying this country's basic institutions. Like, right now! As we speak!

But media elites find that boring.

This is a very good point about DHS. They direct harassment campaigns on Twitter using quote-tweets.
