If your car alarm goes off your key should also go off so you know that it’s you.

We’re going to discover that the lowering of standards for ICE and DHS was also followed by a clandestine call for militia and former separatist members to join. They’ve brought the nationalists into the government.

Will there be Tylenol in Valhalla?

The elephant we’re all talking around is the fear that this incident will be used by the current administration to begin a wave of violent repression using the National Guard it’s already mobilizing in cities and the newly empowered Department of Homeland Security.

If you’re Brown and doing a home renovation, you now have to carry your birth certificate to Home Depot.

If I win the lottery, you will absolutely know. I will collect it publicly, in an ostentatious manner. And then I’ll launch a SuperPac.

Gen Z and Gen Alpha AND Millennials can’t all look 35 somethings gotta give

It’s wild how the difference between Mike Pence and JD Vance suddenly really matters.

A sick president? A close circle of advisors limiting access? An ambitious VP who may or may not be ready for the top of the ticket? Al*x Th*mpson, that’s your music buddy

Trying to lynch the Vice President didn’t warrant the National Guard, but Big Balls getting carjacked requires a show of force?

If you’re the third or fourth son in your family and you’re complaining about women and traditional family values know that traditionally you should be in a monastery.

This story being the entire metaphor and emotional anchor of my NetRoots panel is wild

My dear friend @thestefansmith.bsky.social has been suggesting that we bring back monasticism in a non-religious form to accommodate rising numbers of unpartnered men. Don’t be an incel, be a volcel, and watch the world improve

You cannot shame people for their media illiteracy when their illiteracy governs their media diet.

It’s a major story that’s almost everywhere and is being used across Twitter right now to drag Elon Musk. But that misses its potential to tell a larger story about AI susceptibility to tampering.

Why are you afraid of the Establishment? Your careerism is an inherently conservative impulse and it’s stopping you from replicating Mamdani’s success across the country.

They don’t target legislators if the legislative system is already captured. They don’t target protests if the protestors aren’t a threat. Defeatism is counter revolutionary. Lock the fuck in.
