Um, folks, we are getting remarkably close to the movie "Her." That movie came out twelve years ago and we all thought it was science fiction.

When @kevinmkruse.bsky.social (hopefully) does a "My man looks like..." thread about Steven Cheung, this joint is going to burn to the fucking ground.

Any Italian Americans on here who, like me, find it so frustrating how many of our co-ethnics like Rufo seem to have forgotten their own family history? Wasn't that long ago that we weren't really seen as fully "white" and then there's the whole Catholic thing to boot. How quickly some forget.

Fun facts: Chris Rufo’s grandmother was an Italian immigrant who, I’ve heard from a reliable source, never learned to speak English fluently. Rufo’s wife meanwhile is an immigrant from Thailand. And the director of the Manhattan Institute who employs him? The son of Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh

i suppose i’m not surprised that it is difficult to make people care about something that is low visibility — the vast majority of people have no idea who piker is — and low salience. i think we’re also going to find, for similar reasons, that the anti-trans messaging isn’t working either.

Yuck. Finally got my first text from Carville. I'm all for Peltola, but get the fuck outta my texts, you sputtering dried-up piece of gator peen. Stop.
James Carville text:

“Selfless move from Mary Peltola” - Carville

James Carville here, urgently asking you to support Mary Peltola’s campaign before her FEC deadline on September 30th. 

I’ve spent nearly 50 years electing Democrats and winning tough elections across the country, so please take my word for it:

We gotta get serious about Alaska’s U.S. Senate race. 

Alaska is Democrats’ VERY BEST CHANCE to take back the Senate majority, and Mary needs YOUR help to show everyone she can WIN by this FEC deadline.

It was a selfless move from Mary Peltola to jump into a tough race like this! But she did it because she understands how high the stakes are for all of us. 

Now I’m hoping you do too… 

Please use this link to make a contribution to Mary’s campaign before her FEC deadline:

https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mp-ads-mobile26?refcode=mp-ads-518-v4-l2nat-260929-supporters-mary-needs

Any amount you can spare makes a difference before this deadline. Thank you for your support.
(Stop to stop)

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.
