....said the old man with many health issues visible to the public but who isn't worried about where he can get treatment or if he can afford it because he has really good health care paid for by the government.

Building a movement takes *everyone.*
Case in point: Just received this from my mom.
LFG, America.

Trump Lectures South African President in Televised Oval Office Ambush

Tell me again, @jaketapper.bsky.social, whose dementia the country needs to worry about?

An unqualified white supremacist says what?

This is the most elegant way I've ever seen to make this point.

Thank you for saying this. I always wonder why this isn't the dominating complaint about the prequels. I'd happily watch a whole movie of Jar Jar Binks reading Creed lyrics aloud if it meant the Force wasn't just Lyme Disease in space.

His Twitter takeover has been a **spectacular** failure by any measure that matters.

Does he think that somehow the rest of the world hasn't noticed?

The second post is fake. There's nothing even remotely like this in Smith's timeline.

This isn't a real post. Someone's trying to make us turn on each other.

Check out Smith's actual feed; he's pretty clearly not a fan of Musk.

Speaking as an autistic person, I promise I have never accidentally done a Sieg Heil at a political rally because I misunderstood social cues.

Actually, you know what? Forget Greenland. That's an obvious Trump-style distraction from the actual awful shit happening right now. See (or don't see...) for example, the Jack Smith report.

Wasn't that Biden's campaign slogan?

Remember when people said they voted for Donald Trump because he wants peace and wasn't "a warmonger"?

I wonder if the people of Greenland maybe see it differently.

Two questions:

1. Any governors out there holding therapy sessions to calm the nerves of children who worry about being murdered at school?

2. Has anyone suggested the CEOs would be fine if they just got bulletproof attaché cases?

Not "Postal, LLC."

Kim: You have a number of nominees who are literally, their mission is to dismantle the organization that they are being nominated to be in charge of. I find that to be so dangerous at this moment.

To all the people upset about Luigi Mangione being made into a folk hero. Now you know how we felt when you made Kyle Rittenhouse into a hero.

Let’s add that one to the list of things nobody cares about because Elon isn’t an elected official. #GFYLeon

I think I remember watching this happen in real time.

Give me a single image from a film that immediately makes you hear the song from the soundtrack playing in your head.

YES! So glad I’m not the only one thinking this.

Pssst. Hey, you.
Yes, you.
Hi.

If no one has told you lately, you’re totally kicking ass even though nothing makes sense anymore.

We need you. Keep it up.

Dear Congressional Democrats,

Please work with Donald Trump on eliminating the Electoral College. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Regular people

We need to show people that our media outlet is the one that will tell them the truth, because we understand their struggles and we're with them in the fight.

Pivot back to a "what do these bankers DO all day?" conversation.

Return to excesses.

Contrast with working families' reality. etc.

Have the show after yours discuss it.

Bring it up again the next day.

Invite guests on who'll validate your take on predatory banks.

But – and this is key – it's not just about reporting the story. It's about repeating and repackaging the commentary over and over:

Talk in detail about the bankers' lifestyles, harping loudly on the excesses of their lifestyles – yachts, houses, etc.

Tie Republicans to those excesses.

Or, for example, stories about banks taking people's homes away through "mistaken" foreclosure, contrasted with how precisely they calculate bank execs' bonuses.

Stories about people working three jobs to put food on the table while the CEOs who employ them make 300x as much.
