I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

this is a really persistent myth but in fact if you look at Silicon Valley leaders they have pretty good educations in the humanities! Peter Thiel has a PhD in philosophy, most famously.

The problem we face is not that the people in power don't understand what they are doing, it is that they think what they are doing is good.

We asked activists from authoritarian regimes what they wish they’d known sooner. Here’s what they said Activists from Hungary, El Salvador and Turkey offer advice to the US about what they’ve learned about authoritarians

“I didn’t expect so many people would be so risk-averse.”

Thread. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to the city.

Big fan of Yuh-Line Niou here, and was really excited for her candidacy in 2026. I totally get why she is stepping aside, and her reasons make a ton of sense. Yet another example of her movement leadership.

In the last election, I felt lucky to be able to vote for you. You would have been my choice in the upcoming election too.

Now, let's win and take everything back into the right hands. So, we can all move forward together.

Thank you for your leadership. 🙏🏼

I know this was hard for you and those closest to you. I hope Brad will find a place for you all. Such is the reality of our non representational government struction <3

A great 🧵from Yuh-Line Niou @yuhline.bsky.social Such a thoughtful and selfless person. NY-10 is closer to having a progressive fighter represent us thanks to this move.

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar

I think I might start referring to the Supreme Court as Trump's autopen

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.

No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

The democrats sold out every American

I saw an ICE raid today in Cedar-Riverside. The man they took said repeatedly he was a U.S. Citizen and had ID. They put him in a car they sped off at an unsafe speed. Not that I expected much, but I called 911 and reported their behavior. The dispatcher asked "what I wanted them to do about it."

Fuck this airport shit

That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight

Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol · Dec 8 🚨#BREAKING: The University of North Carolina Asheville has completely REMOVED all of its "ALL-GENDER" bathroom signs. It has replaced them with "SINGLE OCCUPANCY RESTROOM" signs.

There's a post over on Twitter that I've been laughing to myself about. Some right-wing guy is celebrating that a school took down "All-Gender" bathroom signs and replaced them with "Single Occupancy Restroom" signs. And like... it's the same thing, man. You're celebrating a pointless relabeling.

Cars underwater. Text says most flood fatalities can occur in vehicles. 12 inches of water can sweep a car off the road.

People often underestimate the power of flowing water. A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock an adult off their feet. Most vehicles begin to lose contact with the road in six inches of water. They can be swept away in 12-18 inches of flowing water. This includes pickups & SUVs #wawx

a road closed sign is shown. Text says never drive around barricades.

There's lots of water over roads right now and some cities and counties may not be able to get road closed signs up fast enough. If you see a road closed sign, don't go around it. A flooded road may have hidden dangers such as washed out roadbeds or underwater obstructions. #wawx

Amen to all of this.

You want people to vote for Democrats?

Put actual Democrats on the ballot instead of rich Republican bigots dressed in blue.

Also now is the time we *should* be saying we won’t vote for Newsom.

He shouldn’t be the nominee, period. And no amount of ads or cringeworthy social media posts are going to remove the stink of “fawningly agreeing with Charlie Kirk” from him.

I won't vote for Newsom. If that bothers you, then put the work in and demand better. VBNMW, settling for the lesser of two evils and demanding nothing and acting grateful for crumbs is why we are here.

I will not burn myself to keep you warm.

Now is exactly the time to let folks know that Newsom is an authoritarian asshole I'll never vote for. Folks we have plenty of time to find someone other than Newsom.
