This is right and the political question is whether enough white collar middle class voters realize this and try to create an anti-billionaire coalition with blue-collar workers (as opposed to hoping for good billionaires).

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

[keith bb @TRAILSANDWAYS]

organizing a union can win you 20% raises, $6k+ bonuses and real power at work against a massive global corporation

[Akilah Hughes @AkilahObviously]

Yeah, the tech isn’t there.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

gambling on the news is so fucking bleak and it’s a real warning sign about how much american society has deteriorated.

[Michael Kandel @K_A_N_D_E_L]

tech guys love to be like "AI is a powerful tool that allows us to create anything we want" and the "anything" is a teenage girl

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

Trump is tweeting slop like this for his base and Dems are like “maybe if we stop defending abortion rights we can win elections.”

[Skyler Higley @skyler_higley]

a lot of the issue is people who see “politics” as abstract (white neolibs basically unaffected by what goes on) vs people who actually suffer the consequences of the American empire

[Jonathan 'Boo and Vote' Cohn @JonathanCohn]

Gavin Newsom admitted that his son is a fan of Charlie Kirk, which raises an important question: What?

[David Lo Pun-ch Nazis @helpmeskeletor]

If you want to see how liberals act as handmaidens to fascism, watch how those fascist movements grow because of the outpouring of liberal sympathy and the framing of fascism as simple political disagreement.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

charlie kirk opposed the civil rights act, called george floyd a scumbag, said he’d be worried abt black pilots & that he’d force his daughter to carry a pregnancy to term if she was raped.

he shouldn’t have been killed but he def was an extremist.

[Romlib 🎄 @romlib_]

I think the murder of Minnesota democratic senators should've been enough but better late than never I suppose

[Clarence Thomas the Tank Engine @TheRealJChubby]

Probably a bad thing that everyone on the right is talking like this right now.

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

Let's be clear: these are calls for mass political violence. They are not really related to Kirk's assassination, about which nothing is known. It is people who have been looking for a reason to call for Democrats to be killed and their cities bombed, and found a pretext.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

So much disinformation on this site tonight in the wake of the horrific Kirk murder, with conservatives cynically suggesting that all of the political violence in this country comes from the left.

In fact it’s the opposite. Here are the facts for those with short memories:

The man who targeted and killed Democratic state Rep Melissa Hortman was a Trump supporter.

The man who targeted the home of Dem Governor Josh Shapiro was a Trump supporter.

The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6th were Trump supporters.

The man who targeted and killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas was a Trump supporter.

The man who tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband was a Trump supporter.

The men who were convicted trying to kidnap Dem Governor Gretchen Whitmer were Trump supporters.

The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Obama and Biden was a Trump supporter.

There is no equivalent or even similar list of Obama or Biden supporters who have carried out similar murders, attempted murders, or violent attacks.

[Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost @RepMaxwellFrost]

So, let me get this straight:

- Direct File let people do their taxes for free.
- It worked and was popular.
- Trump just decided to shut it down, all so companies like TurboTax can keep ripping people off.

Americans deserve better than this mess.

[Esaias Guthrie’s Stylist @DNjtrenton]

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m. planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, and opened several schools up for summer classes…

Crime is down 62%.

Imagine that.

[Organizermemes @OrganizerMemes]

Bro the epstein stuff is a very clear place for the Dems to go on the offensive. Turn that shit into Benghazi/her emails levels of toxic and the bro podcasters and their audiences will flip so quickly I stg

Our union sister Lewelyn Dixon has been unjustly detained by ICE. A 50-year U.S. resident, a pillar of her family, and a valued worker—this could happen to any of us. We demand @UW take action NOW!
