Across all the results yesterday one thing is clear- the first Dem in the presidential primary to vow that their first act as President will be to raze ICE to the ground and dump the remains in a toxic waste landfill is gonna lap the field

I don’t think it’s insane, it’s the phones. The average person doesn’t rationalize things as statistics, they respond to things they can see and algorithmic video is full of videos of crime and unruly cities that they interpret as things getting worse because they’re seeing it more on their phones.

The digital revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

Proposed cuts to libraries, parks, CUNY, housing + health, while keeping NYPD + Corrections intact; proposed real property tax increases disproportionately affecting Black owners + most tenants; homeless encampment sweeps.

Why is Z proposing these regressive measures, and how best can we respond? 🧵

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

anybody currently raging about Newsom needs to be stopped better get on board or I might think your outrage is a tad performative

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

I know the lootbox Bobby kotick Epstein email is wild but microtransactions go all the way back to arcade machines which required quarters to continue playing. lootboxes were not invented by Activision gatcha mechanics preexisted that shit by years. Please believe in the existence of history

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis.

If not, why not?

Absolute indictment of our media that there isn't round the clock brow beat coverage of this insanity. They are absolutely capable of doing it but refuse to do so.

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.

remember when centrists confidently asserted that dems should avoid talking about immigration because it was a GOP 80/20 issue

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

In a strange position where I think there are massive, massive social harms to the proliferation of AI (misinfo, deepfakes, predatory 'companions', surveillance, labour rights) but also feel the mainstream arguments against it range from unconvincing (water) to actively harmful (copyright; "soul")

The reason you go scorched-earth on this is the same reason we should have gone scorched-earth on impoundment; you can't stop it from happening, but you absolutely need to stop it from becoming a normal part of politics. You have to draw a line.

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

well, 2016 was a hard year, but we made it through. hopefully 2016 will be better.

they put the postal service in the fucking constitution

it is a public service and not supposed to make a fucking profit

aaaaaaaaaaa

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass

“The Missing Context from the Elon Musk salute” - Megan McArdle

“Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace” - Ross Douthat

“O Canada, Come Join Us” - Ross Douthat

“In Defense of the White House Ballroom: Trump vs NIMBYs” - The Washington Post

“No, Israel is not Committing Genocide” - Bret Stephens

I am dead serious when I say that if one of the most vulnerable people in the country can do this with the right allies, no fight in American politics is completely hopeless.

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

i don't want to win a unifying 70-30.

i want to win 51-49 based on promises of vengeance.

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
