Some D staffer just needs to add “for me” to the end of this then it’s fixed

Does anyone believe this crap? I don’t think he’s even fooling his diehard supporters

This is disgusting and a sign of a culture that’s completely lost its way morally/spiritually

This is their whole campaign strategy: Talarico gay. Yes it’s 2026

lol. Jake Paul, paragon of blue-collar labor

This is the old Ed Muskie line of attack (For those who love political history). I just don’t think it resonates as much in 2026 when everyone has a therapist.

Hard choice for Trump: the headlines are awful but she has to have a lot of Trump family dirt. I bet they move her to a less visible sinecure somewhere

Correct. How does it help our Nazi problem to not call Nazis Nazis... Again, this is just basic truth-telling but fossils like Brooks are preoccupied with bullshit ideas of comity and decorum which we are way past at this point

Matthew Benjamin @mattbenjamin.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

What we need is like a social media fad where people draw like dicks and devil’s horns on trumps face, and compete for the most disrespectful defacement

Elon’s had more gender-affirming surgery than most people I know!

He just shits on his supporters non-stop and they love it

These people are just fucking idiots

It’s an interesting strategy: spend years passing policies that screw the working class then try to bribe them with free cash right before the election. Sad!

Someone needs to tell the other D candidates about Ossoff’s one weird trick: telling the truth and not being polite about it

Matthew Benjamin @mattbenjamin.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

It’s the classic playbook, going back since the beginning. Stoke racial division to prevent multiracial class solidarity. Works every time unfortunately

Matthew Benjamin @mattbenjamin.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

His one weird trick? Tell the truth

Matthew Benjamin @mattbenjamin.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

He srsly needs to be giving workshops to the rest of the Democratic caucus. Its a lesson in the value of brutal honesty

Matthew Benjamin @mattbenjamin.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Yeah, this is a glorification of violence (and state violence, specifically) that is a good sign that our culture is becoming cruel and decadent

Matthew Benjamin @mattbenjamin.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

And for god sakes can we not call it super intelligence? There are like a dozen kinds of intelligence (spatial, emotional, visual, interpersonal, analytical, wisdom). AI is good at like 2 or 3 kinds (language, logic). That’s actually very narrow. It should just be called RGC. Really Good Computing.

Millionaires have “fuck you money.” Good for them. The problem is the billionaires whose money has given them way too much power and influence over our society. We need to tax them into extinction before we all go extinct

Heart disease continues to let us down with this one

What we need is a running, and public, list of collaborators in this regime. Make it clear they will not be forgotten

Aurelius was probably a very bad hang

“All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike...The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere." - Aurelius

The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Not the vibes of someone who thinks he’s leaving in 2028

Matthew Benjamin @mattbenjamin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Yeah, thats another read. It’s like a childish fantasy of life without loss, illness, death. That’s why Elon is having a zillion kids

Matthew Benjamin @mattbenjamin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

To be Freudian about it for a second, I think all these REL-types ultimately have a death wish. Because they’re deeply disconnected from any kind of human meaning or love in their lives

Matthew Benjamin @mattbenjamin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Vastly different historical, political context. And you’re still avoiding the question of what dismantling actually looks like. Ultimately this is all just fashionable fantasizing. In the realm of reality, we need realistic solutions

And…war crimes should be prosecuted in The Hague. So say that. Much more specific and actionable than “end Israel.”

Matthew Benjamin @mattbenjamin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

If you read the article, that’s how they describe the Green position, as ending Israel. My point is: why not call for Israel to give back land taken since 1948 or 67, and have UN peacekeepers monitor borders to make sure no illegal restraint on Palestinian trade/movement. Reparations. Real solutions
