Anti-Data Center organizing is really ramping up especially in the South.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen Iran still has 50% of their missile capacity. They still have enriched uranium. And they still control the Strait of Hormuz. The President had no credible strategy going into this war, and it's clear he still doesn't have one to accomplish the goals he set out.

The ranking Democrat member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee folks:

RIP. I will never forget the police brutalizing him — and then that one cop stopping the other cop from helping him

Schumer Takes No Action As Even Far Right Calls for Impeachment Over Trump’s “Civilization” Threat As others called for impeachment and removal, Schumer and other Democratic leaders did not commit to any action.

"I am sick to my stomach. I can't for the life of me wrap my head around the fact that Congress is doing nothing. Even if you don't have the majority — protest, force votes every day, file impeachment articles — do ANYTHING. Disrupt ANYTHING. Anything at all is better than this."

DOJ Admits ‘Unprecedented’ National Security Staffing Challenges The Justice Department acknowledged facing “unprecedented” national security workforce constraints due to high turnover compounded by rising overseas threats and new responsibilities, according to a d...

This was entirely foreseeable, and many of us warned that if the Department abandoned all of its principles, the decent public servants in its ranks would abandon the Department.

Iran Is Quickly Repairing Missile Bunkers, U.S. Intelligence Says

This doesn’t seem like a war that will end in two weeks. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...

if this was the first time they used the frame, you'd be right. And because of that, there's no indication at all humor was attempted. this is just how they write headlines and it's awful

Billionaire fortunes have reached all-time highs under Trump. So has the movement to tax them Residents in at least 10 states are organizing campaigns to tax wealth in order to fund schools and other social services

wrote about how rage at America's wealthiest, particularly in tech (Musk, Zuck, Thiel), and the inequality of a new gilded age is powering a wave of efforts to tax the rich — out of organizing and anger that's built from Occupy to the 2016 Bernie campaign to Zohran's election. @us.theguardian.com

Thorstein Veblen tried to warn us

I don’t love being in a society where you can sell enough pillows to do meaningful damage to democracy or sell enough children’s books to do a genocide or sell enough chicken sandwiches to abolish gay marriage

That all seems like a ridiculous way to do society to me

Look how aggressively we are sanitizing Kushner's conflicts. The NYT described Kushner as "having business interests" in the Middle East.

KUSHNER IS BEING DIRECTLY PAID TENS OF MILLIONS ANNUALLY BY MIDDLE EASTERN GOVERNMENTS

AI slop can't top this

This is why AI will never replace us 🤌

he's finally done it — he's achieved a level of fucking lame that i can't even come up with a joke about.

i genuinely think bluesky will collapse when Platner wins. I'm not even supportive of nazi tat guy. I think the bigger question is why are Maine's older whiter population not giving a single fuck about it. They want vengeance against elites. Anyone in Platner's mold would win nearly anywhere

left populism is actually good and not equivalent with fascism

A new car in the U.S. costs $50k. A new Chinese EV costs $5k and has better tech. I know manufacturing jobs are critical, but we can't hold 95% of the country hostage because American car companies chose wrong. This one change could dramatically improve middle class life

wow that was incredible, esp for how short it is. this guy is uniquely talented as a content producer. if he never became mayor, he wasn't going to go anywhere

The extent to which every single one of these guys has absolutely no idea what the fuck they're talking about is frankly stunning. You should be embarrassed to go out in public and spout shit like this. It should scar your soul and make you weep in shame, but that requires introspection, so...shit.

yeah, BDT was amazing!! just googled it and sean penn had 33 minutes screen time vs only 13 mins for BDT

“We want to change the rules of the next election so Democrats don’t win anymore”

The least shocking thing ever is learning DOGE used chatGPT to identify which grants were “DEI.” It is critical to understand that LLMs are an authoritarian technology meant to win the millennia-long war on critical thinking and art. They are a right wing wet dream.

Karoline Leavitt sold her soul to embrace the nazi grandpa and he doesn't even remember her.

You can rage all you want about the median voter but people want change, they want it yesterday, and they more or less want a total revolution is how things are going even if that's not how they articulate it. Democrats are a collapsed party with no purpose other than funneling donor money.

they're getting paid. both campaigns publicly and openly admitted to paying off influencers, so they have to milk it until the end of contract. The whole paid influencer army aspect was the most interesting and unique part about their race, even if its also the most depressing
