@elonmusk I’m at a 2. I’ve occasionally risen to a 3. I’ve asked my conservative friends to stage an intervention if I hit 4.

"One of the reasons my party lost in the recent elections is that we didn’t recognize how the world was changing, and when we did, we did not adapt quickly enough. Specifically, there was complacency about the nature of the enemy we were fighting because a lot of people did not recognize it for what it was.

There’s a great movie from the 1990s—The Usual Suspects. In it, there is a fantastic quote: “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist.”

That is the trick that those on the authoritarian left have pulled off. They have smuggled ideas and policies that look like liberalism but are anything but. They speak the language of the civil rights movement, but they aim to resegregate us. They preach about social justice, but they do not believe in the most basic ideas of fairness and equality. They demand our tolerance even as they seek to undermine the very culture and institutions that create that tolerance in the first place.

Another way of putting it is that liberalism has been hacked."

I get it guys. Women suck. The system is rigged against you. You’re right to be angry.
But here is where I come from:

I was sexually molested twice, by 2 different men (strangers) before I hit age 10.
I spent my entire childhood dodging my dad’s fists.
My first husband, when he wasn’t beating me, was sleeping with my friends. I was lucky to survive that mistake.

Despite all that, I refused to turn into a bitter man-hater. I appreciate men who are not abusive, and call out bad behavior wherever I see it.

If I can overcome all this, and not succumb to black pill, so can you. I have no patience for weak men who use the unfairness of the system as an excuse to check out from being men.

If your excuse is “I would be a better men, except…” guess what, you’re not a better man. You never were.

@MilaLovesJoe Barack Obama. 2008.

@HistoryBoomer I’d take a clown from McMahon and add it to Gaetz, but otherwise agree with this.

this is like watching an amateur house flipper tear down a load-bearing wall

[thatonemaddy.bsky.social @thatonemaddy]

Watching Gen Z men veer right hits different for Millennials. We lived through Columbine, 9/11, the Iraq War, 2008 crash, 2016 election, covid, abortion bans, & now this. We watched institutions repeatedly fail us while older generations selfishly protected the status quo. 🧵1/

@JRubinBlogger I think people need to reread the tweet—at no point does Jen say that individuals shouldn’t call her Kamala. She’s talking about NEWS REPORTS—because official statements referring to the VP by only her first name create a disrespectful discourse.

[Nelson Gray @nelsongray]

@RpsAgainstTrump Please leave Governor Shapiro out of this. The Commonwealth needs him more than the country does—especially for a largely ceremonial role.

[Nelson Gray @nelsongray]

@aaronlarnavarro This isn’t simple ignorance. The irresponsibility, arrogance, and selfishness is absolutely stunning.

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

The 90s were great. We had Super Nintendo, Daria and this is what our politics were like.

If you were not a teenager in the 90s, you missed out

[Robert Pondiscio @rpondiscio]

We've grown unaccustomed to hearing it, but this is what grownups in politics sound like.

[sean illing @seanilling]

Every single serious problem in this country is rendered damn near insoluble by the collapse of consensus reality

@NewsWire_US It’s a veritable who’s who of WHO? in recent days.

Biden: I'm running. Only god almighty can change my mind. Challenge me at convention.

Pelosi: Biden should make his decision soon. Oh he already made it? He should make the decision again

[Bugman Hegel @FedPoasting]

I have a mental illness that makes me think that people will change their minds if I present the correct arguments with the appropriate facts and data.

[yes, really @simonefiii]

me as a child finding out we were looking for Carmen Sandiego to ARREST HER and not just hang out bc she was pretty and cool:

[Carl @HistoryBoomer]

I'm a center-left heterodox Dem.

For me, Trump is completely unacceptable.
RFJ Jr is slightly less unacceptable.
If the Dems keep Biden, that's bad but nowhere near as bad as the other two.

If Repubs had chosen Nikki Haley they'd at least have made me feel guilty voting Biden.
