The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.
I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1
one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus
one of the single most important bursts of legislative activity in the nation's history happened because the governing party did not hesitate to remove their opponents from congress itself when they had the opportunity. 🤷🏿♂️
Hasn't Booker voted for Trump nominees? Hasn't that enabled Trump when he's voted for judges or executive branch officers who have implemented Trump's agenda.
He's so performative. Did his filibuster and right afterward voted to approve some Trump nominees.
New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

When people make their food it’s a completely different experience then when they make YOUR food
Yup. That is exactly how I feel.
At least Punk looked strong in defeat. Night 2 was better than Night 1. Women's match tonight should have lasted longer.
As the match went on, Reigns looked like he needed the win.
#wrestlemania
Punk went out strong. Gave everything he had. Reigns needed the win and he won clean. Punk still needs his WM victory one day.
One of the best WM main events in awhile. Night 2 was so much better than Night 1.
Louder louder louder
He should go after the police for "officer-involved shooting" and other similar phrases ppl use rather than saying "police shot" someone.
"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging

It’s the freakin weekend
The hype of Austin Rock at WM17 was electric. Both faces at their peaks. Who knows where things would have gone had Rock not done The Scorpion King. They threw down for weeks before the match & ppl were still excited for them to lock up at the event. I don't think WWE has had that intensity since.
Here’s Trump bragging about making the U.S. a country that no one wants to come to and many want to leave.
Will voters EVER understand the big lie about "scary democratic (small D) socialist policies?!" Bernie has told us for decades, and Mamdani is showing us now. We can instantly fund a WAR but have TO DEBATE for decades about healthcare for all - GEEZUS!
They've LIED TO US FOR PROFIT for decades.
This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇
37 years ago today, April 16, 1989, #TheSimpsons short “Bart of the Jungle” first aired on The Tracey Ullman Show on Fox.
you'd have to be this young and dumb to think you could beat a handsome Australian man in a contest of expressing snide confidence
Most of us are aware that authoritarians don't wait till the day of to steal elections, they rig the rules in advance to ensure they can declare themselves winners but we're supposed to keep saying our elections are presently "free and fair."
It's astonishing how wedded people are to the idea that refusing to name what's happening is how we overcome it.
Most of us can see clearly that a desire to control women (including free license to abuse) is at the heart of MAGA's project but we're told not to say too much about this because we need to be appealing to lonely young men.
Most of us can tell that abducting, assaulting and then forcing immigrants into what fits the legal definition of concentration camps is well underway but we're told to call them "detention facilities" lest we turn off white working class voters.
I say this often because it must be said: my daughter’s generation has fewer rights now than when they were born.
My father spoke of staying awake during times of change. Today, we are witnessing a generation that refuses to sleep. They see clearly. They act boldly. They will shape what comes next.
I've found that WWE lacks intensity in its wrestlers. Everyone sounds the same when they talk and only does hype happen when the wrestlers are in each others' faces laying blows.
The company also fears stars becoming bigger than the company like Hogan, Rock, etc.
Fans want stars to throw down.
"A community is democratic only when the humblest and weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic, and social rights that the biggest and most powerful possess."
