Someone please tell me this is AI generated and not stupidity and attempted manipulation so blatant it offends the most basic sensibility.

Just wasted four minutes thinking of how Rs would dunk on Ds if their social media referred to bullets as β€œfreedom seeds.”

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

They’re going to bring down prices by allowing big grocery stores to surreptitiously raise prices.

I know the country is about to kinda fall apart but I’d like every woman over the age of 40 to hear these words and remember that they aren’t merely enough, they are EXTRAORDINARY, and they’re not done until they choose to be done. youtu.be/9SvW3XJP5Ic?...

A particular good morning to all the cartoonists creating and sharing their own versions of Ann Telnaes’ piece that Bezos refused to publish. Loving the art. Loving the solidarity.

Threads feeds me all the drama. Bluesky, just what I ask for. Makes it easier to log into the former for the high, though it’s less satisfying. Gotta start cultivating this site better.

I’d like to see more major-media reports on how the involvement of Elon Musk with a) the Presidential Transition, b) the House Republican Conference, c) the Senate Republican Conference, and d) lobbyists is already unlike anything America has ever seen with a non-government adviser. 100% horrifying.

Not sure saying β€œmore oppo” over and over was especially helpful but I’m nothing if not consistent.

So a reminder:

It’s not β€˜liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not β€˜liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not β€˜liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.
