The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."
Just saying it right out loud now.

All this was a choice. I can’t get over how all of this was a choice. A plurality of American voters saw corruption, bigotry, pandemic, economic crisis, coup attempt, and criminal conviction, then opted for more.
If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
If you voted for Trump, this is on you.
If you voted third party, this is on you.
If you chose not to vote at all, this is on you.
Your reasons are irrelevant.
Folks are going to wake up on the East Coast to the news that Israel bombed Iran.
I’m pretty sure this is yet another example of awful shit that wouldn’t be happening if Kamala Harris was POTUS.
I have ceased to have strong enough language for anti-Democrat people, voters or people who bitch about Democrats leaders, politicians, or voters
You’re an asshole who deserves everything you get if you can’t get your head out of your selfish anal sphincter to understand what is required of you.
It feels worth saying that the thing that unifies men as disparate as Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra and Trump is patriarchy. Patriarchy, hatred of women, and the need to dominate them, persists across race and class status. Left movements refuse a robust analysis of persisting gender violence.
Us: Vote for this person to give Democrats the political power to preemptively stop XYZ from happening.
Them after not doing that: WHY AREN’T DEMOCRATS STOPPING XYZ FROM HAPPENING THEY MUST BE CORRUPT
Us: No, it’s bc We The People sent more Rs than Ds
Them: MATH IS AN EXCUSE
This ...
And once again: ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF A TINY PERCENT MORE OF THE POPULATION HAD JUST FILLED IN A LITTLE OVAL NEXT TO THE BLACK LADY’S NAME.
We ALL fucking warned EVERYONE, but too many didn’t listen or shrugged it off.
I have the answer!
Definitely an overlooked point: The authoritarian far right, including its white nationalist iterations, are self-consciously global in scope and liberals need to adapt to that:
Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.
MeToo was the only reason people started caring about Epstein, btw.
Everything Epstein did was more or less public knowledge for decades prior, but only after the social consciousness of "rape by powerful men is bad actually" hit, did it get taken seriously, starting with Miami Herald's work.
We demand the people who benefit from systemic racism dismantle it. So we can have universal healthcare.
Epstein offered the NY Times photos of Trump with young girls in bikinis during his first campaign in 2015.
The NY Times declined them because they were just too busy hyperventilating over Hillary’s private email server.
Support independent media.
READ THIS. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND IT ⬇️
Just going to put this here and move on🤷🏾♀️
Some of y’all have become so addicted to shitting on Democrats that you don’t even realize you’re doing it.
Fix your shit because it really is a form of voter suppression within our own ranks.

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.
In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.
I miss having a REAL President.
Understand this: most Black people see the Graham Platner controversy through a completely different lens than most white people— our lived experience. So stop telling us it’s no big deal. It’s no big deal to YOU.

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...
This right here
Bunch of relatively rich white men on here saying "no one could have predicted how bad things would get under Trump!! No one!!!"
Fuck all y'all. Fuck all the way off.
hey, remember when Kamala Harris warned everyone that Donny Convict would send the military after us — and the press was all “shut the fuck up, laughing lady, prove you worked at McDonald’s”? that was fun, wasn’t it? it’s a good thing there weren’t any serious consequences from that bit of journalistic malpractice, isn’t it? oh, wait. tell me, where does America go to get its apology from the press? better question: where does America go to hide from its own mad king? because he sure seems super fucking horny to mow us all down.
REMEMBER WHEN OUR WORTHLESS PRESS TRASHED KAMALA AND SANEWASHED DONNY'S FASCISM, AND NOW HE'S PRESIDENT? AND OH LOOK — NOW HE'S SENDING THE MILITARY TO WAR AGAINST AMERICA. THANKS, MEDIA! MANY ARE SAYING THANK YOU JEFF TIEDRICH (ME!) FOR WRITING THE GREATEST POST EVER! READ IT HERE: bit.ly/42hqdQG
A tangential point but it is humiliating as a feminist—and a sign of the ways that endemic misogyny abridges women’s citizenship and dignity—that someone like Klein can be considered authoritatively well informed about American politics while also knowing so little about the politics of abortion.
White progressives still blaming Kamala for what's happening in Gaza, DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PALESTINIANS.
This triggered hatred used to scapegoat a Black Woman for what Trump, Bibi, and Hamas are responsible for is racism.
It's not progressive.
It's not humanitarian.
It's not Free Palestine.
“Male loneliness” is a vague, empirically unfalsifiable Potemkin village of an argument meant to smuggle yet more anti feminism into popular consensus.
