Still kind of inconceivable how many people died or will die because of the death of USAID. And the world’s richest man did it almost as a joke

The gap between 1.5°C and 3°C is not a spectrum of mildly different futures. It’s the difference between a difficult but navigable transition and a fundamentally destabilized world. Please stop burning fossil fuels just as soon as you possibly can 🙏

Yes, these items constantly poll well. And then half the country still votes for the party that calls this "socialism" and "government overreach."

Trump started a war that Biden intentionally did not start, and in fact told Bibi to fuck off about. And this fact has broken the brains of the weakest minded on this app. Because it definitively proves Biden was the better choice than Trump, and they fucked up and caused way, way more harm.

Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...

Basic rule of thumb, if you have two sides: 1. Side telling you "vote out fascists because the other side's flaws are generally nowhere as bad" 2. Side telling you "leave fascists in power to punish people whose flaws are generally nowhere as bad as the fascists' flaws" Ain't #1 that's the psyop.

There are people who believe both that Republicans are all fascists, & that in the current environment enough Republican Senators can be convinced on the merits of the case to vote to remove Trump from office. These people may be good citizens & virtuous people but they’re not serious thinkers

Wilson Cruz has a simple message: make a voting plan now, not when the lines are long and the rules suddenly change. Check your registration, vote early if you can, and make sure your ballot counts at HandsOffOurVote dot net. Then bring your people. #BlueWaveIn40Days #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Jesus Christ. The President of the United States is standing in the well at the UN and basically saying "Fuck you all, I'll do whatever the hell is want and there's nothing you can do to stop me." And Republicans will still sit on their thumbs and do nothing to reign him in.

Corporate Media would have crucified Hunter if he had a Russian oligarch pay for his wedding while Biden was president, but they will bury Donald Jr. doing it. Easy to become inured to absurd asymmetric accountability, but critical to hammer home to US that Corporate Media is biased for Trump.

If you ever needed a reason to choose any other slow fast food restaurant other than Steak and Shake, here is one more to think about to have you choose differently. Vote for @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social
Tweet from Steak ‘n Steak endorsing Jon Hustead

Steak n Shake is proud to announce its endorsement of Senator @JonHusted for U.S. Senate!

We stand with Husted because he champions the #MAHA movement to clean up the American food supply chain and lower the cost for consumers.

Meanwhile, his opponent, Sherrod Brown, has a record of supporting the extreme federal spending that fueled the inflation crisis, driving up grocery prices for every Ohio family.

Senator Husted is the only candidate fighting to make Ohio healthy, safe, and affordable again.
#MAHA

Has anyone articulated a reason why Jeffries meeting with Kushner was bad? All I've seen from people is "It's Kushner!," just like the "It's Cheney!" nonsense during the Harris campaign. Kushner is one of a handful of ppl Trump actually listens to. Why shouldn't the future speaker meet with him?

Tl;dr is you shouldn’t be shocked by the conservative-majority SCOTUS continuing to harm voting rights & if you vote by mail, make multiple plans to ensure you cast a ballot & your vote’s counted. Screaming because a party you likely helped put into the minority can’t wave a magic wand isn’t useful.

Seriously, why do we still have millions of miles of above-grpund transmission lines in this country? Yes, it's probably more expensive to bury them than string them to poles, but surely savings on repair costs, not to mention the human and business costs of outages, offsets that?

My semi-optimistuc take re: November is that most voters who aren't already hyper-partisan don't actually give a shit about whether a candidate is "establishment" or "outsider". They care about whether their lives are better or worse than the last time the voted. That doesn't bode well for the GOP.

I think the main downside to this site having a relatively small user base is that every single Thing becomes a platform-wide conversation instead of a niche topic that a handful of issue-nerds fight about. Everything spills over, so everyone feels like they need an opinion on it.
