@Teh_Snowflake How exactly could this *not* be a shitpost?

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

X has suddenly banned an account documenting Trump's corrupt stock trades seemingly without explanation.

@OrangeFreddyG Yes

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Rep. Gill voted against the IRA, the legislative effort to boost energy grids, and then supported its repeal under Trump. Now he finds it confusing that energy grids are struggling.

China adds power to its grid, we actively take it away.

[DSA @DemSocialists]

Non-exhaustive, but a good list to start.

@LeftyWinter Just remember that SMC means "Secretly Maoist Caucus."

We all contain multitudes

[CalMatters @CalMatters]

California librarians were stunned when a last-minute budget change stripped K-12 schools of a trove of research materials, potentially leaving thousands of students without resources to do reports, projects or homework assignments. https://t.co/FzlBXPmWqk

Wow. Look local government, the Gov is giving you a 50% off coupon to give up your residents’ private data, outsource your jobs to big tech. Isn’t that cool? Because California basically invented AI slop!

@ostonox Zohran is gonna smoke Portnoy in the 40 yard dash

Now everyone can probably see that @scott_wiener has a tough road ahead campaigning against @conniechansf now that Saikat is out. He needs attention, funding, and defenders. War is not popular. Waffling is unbecoming of a leader. This video is from January.

@noahpasaran Neera Tanden's Favorite White Nationalist, thank you very much

@headintheoffice @trouble_man90 That could have been a Biden quote

@jonkentcomrade Honestly surprising that it took this long for the GenZ Blue Dog guy to dip his whole foot into blatant racism

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

Won’t regulate AI and sides with the Epstein billionaire class as opposed to the people in CA struggling with the skyrocketing costs of health care. The billionaire tax is going to his desk and he is planning to veto it. Same as he did with AI regs and the AI safety kill switch, same with PFAS “forever chemical” cookware. Anything for the corporate class. We are over this. We want people that are willing to take up the fight. Fighters not folders. Learn from Mamdani, Gavin.

@liamkerr folks if this guy’s sneering liberal condescension at someone finding meaningful community in working class struggle rubs you the wrong way, check out DSA so you too can make the community-powered political change this guy hates: https://t.co/FzZ9XX1WdI

@GovPressOffice, if the Governor is serious about setting up California for success now and in the future, he should call @CASpeakerRivas and negotiate to get SB-895 on his desk immediately.

Protect Californians from the Trump regime's war on Science!

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

CALIFORNIA’S BUDGET HAS NO DEFICIT THIS YEAR AND NO DEFICIT NEXT YEAR!

✅FUNDED: small business tax cuts 
✅FUNDED: historic investment in students with disabilities 
✅FUNDED: healthcare affordability
✅FUNDED: cutting red tape to build more housing
✅FUNDED: disaster rebuilding fund 
✅FUNDED: safeguarding and speeding up elections
✅FUNDED: free school meals, free summer school, universal pre-school, and childcare slots

[Mark K. Gradoni @_Snarkaeologist]

A great way to fight back against the Trump admin's assault on science and public health would be to call @CASpeakerRivas and tell him to bring SB-895 to a floor vote in the Assembly!

Stand with working Californians to #SaveScienceSaveLives

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

I’m proud to say we brought California’s deficit down to $0, not just for THIS upcoming year, but for the year AFTER too.

We’re doing this while maintaining California's progress, preparing for the future, and protecting vulnerable communities from Trump’s assaults on our state.

[Mark K. Gradoni @_Snarkaeologist]

So yeah, https://t.co/Y4BpyasBnI

Johnson: The DSA… this is their platform. They put this on paper!  

Abolish the electoral college or replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy, expand the House of Representatives, implement proportional representation and rank choice voting in all elections… End all military and economic aid to Israel, prosecute US and Israeli leaders responsible for the genocide in Gaza

A New York City panel voted to freeze rents for nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments, fulfilling a promise of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. https://t.co/NiyTOPxBRz

@DemSocialists only has a few signature wins in the South it's true, but if you Double Dog Dare us then I guess we'll have no choice 🌹

[Bakari Sellers @Bakari_Sellers]

This is silly. Ppl just say stuff. Does the Dem primary not run through the South (the SEC).

NYC election results have lessons to be learned but Mandani is not the “face” of the Dem party and NYC is not indicative of a larger pattern.

A few months ago yall were telling us nyc was swinging right now it’s not?

The fastest rising 2028 contender is a Jewish dem from Georgia. And DSA got mollywhopped all throughout the south. Facts.
