Piker’s toxic rhetoric is despicable & politically stupid. He does not mean us well. I want @abdulelsayed.bsky.social to win, but continuing to normalize this agent saboteur will take its toll. Every Hasan Piker sound bite is a Shaded missile in the hands of Bannon, Musk & Vance.

I loathe Rahm Emanuel. I loathe “Third Way.” I want Netanyahu on trial in The Hague. I want @abdulelsayed.bsky.social to win his Senate race. But Piker is poison. What he doubles down on here is both morally repugnant & politically stupid. Not an isolated misstep. Willful Nick Fuentes level toxicity

We couldn’t agree w/ you more, Olivia Rodrigo! … We all know what this is really about: control. That’s why our team here at the Center for Reproductive Rights is fighting back in courtrooms across the country and around the globe

Can we trust the armed forces to prevent a fascist takeover? No. Not their job. And the fascist takeover has already happened. 6M people who voted for Biden wouldn’t come out & vote for the black lady. Didn’t even bother. Trump won w/ same number of votes as in 2020, 77M - @malcolmnance.bsky.social

Tonight, you will see Trump try to tear us down, try to lie … The truth about foreign electoral interference is that foreign countries have tried to interfere in our elections to help Trump win — yet he still lost the 2020 election by millions of votes - @timothysnyder.bsky.social

To anyone considering helping President Trump interfere with our election or our count: You will be prosecuted. That’s why I’m moving forward with new legislation that would make it a FELONY to seize ballots before the vote has been certified by state and county officials - @governor.ca.gov

Bill Clinton - 7/4/26 They also want to rewrite history to ignore and outright deny our past flaws while banning books that say otherwise from our libraries. And they select even our military leaders based on their version of political correctness over ability. /4
