Coincidentally offending my centrist friends.
Trying to be like Christ. Just a little bit liberal.

I've seen enough: Susan Crawford defeats Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, preserving liberals' 4-3 majority.

@NukitToBeSure You made it worth sneaking back into Twitter.

[Ryan McBeth @RyanMcbeth]

Couple of interesting things:
1. Assad has fled. Zelensky stayed. It kind of shows how much faith they had in their people.
2. The US needs to get over to Syria and purchase every single Russian anti-aircraft missile system it can find.
3. Russia probably won't be able to keep its bases in Syria, but it may be able to negotiate safe passage out of the country.

[Michael Weiss @michaeldweiss]

Look, you can be sober and even skeptical about Syria’s future without being an asshole to people who are emerging from decades in regime dungeons, returning to homes and being reunited with their families for the first time in years. This isn’t about you and never was.

The United States, Japan, and South Korea strongly condemned Russia and North Korea's violation of numerous UN Security Council resolutions. The countries will continue to support Ukraine in its right to self-defense.

Ron Johnson defeated Mandela Barnes by about 27,000 votes, and within 24 hours, the @WisGOP hacks were screaming for a concession speech.
Tammy Baldwin beat Eric Hovde by 29,000 votes, and 6 days later…crickets.
Not a peep.
From any of them.
Fucking hypocrites.
Fuck em all🖕

[A.J. Bayatpour @AJBayatpour]

Hovde says in this video, "At 1 am...based on the models, it appeared I would win the Senate race"

That's demonstrably false. Here are two
Wisconsin conservatives posting that night the central count cities' results would likely tip the race for Baldwin:

@Athos_K_K @DefenceU @MontayBayBay I remember that, the 8th nazgul descended on their dragons. They were only turned back once NATO expended all of their nuclear weapons.

This is important data that demonstrates the legislative maps are now fair. Not because she got half the districts, but because the assembly-district-level data comports with the statewide data, which hasn’t happened in seven cycles.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

One thing we shouldn’t let slide in the wake of the presidential election is the duplicity of the CEOs of the country’s most powerful corporations.

After January 6, for example, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Trump needed to be held accountable for inciting a riot. "I think no one is above the law. I mean, that's the great thing about our country, we're a rule of law country. I think everyone that had a part in it needs to be held accountable," Cook said. "I don't think we should let it go."

Last Tuesday, Cook let it go, offering a cheerful public congratulations to Trump.

Congratulations President Trump on your victory! We look forward to engaging with you and your administration to help make sure the United States continues to lead with and be fueled by ingenuity, innovation, and creativity.

Similarly, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote after January 6:

The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor. His decision to use his platform to condone rather than condemn the actions of his supporters at the Capitol building has rightly disturbed people in the US and around the world

In the years that followed, Trump statements about the attack only became more disturbing.

In the course of his 2024 campaign, Trump lionized the January 6 rioters. At an October 2024 campaign event, Trump described the attack on the United States Capitol as “a day of love” and claimed that there was "nothing done wrong at all." He has promised to pardon many of the January 6 rioters on his first day back in the White House, claiming that they are "wrongfully imprisoned."

But, after Trump’s victory, Zuckerberg offered his enthusiastic congratulations, suggested that Trump's election heralded an era of "great opportunities," and expressed his excitement about working with Trump and his administration.

Congratulations to President Trump on a decisive victory. We have great opportunities ahead of us as a country. Looking forward to working with you and your administration.

Does Zuckerberg send this kind of congratulatory message after every election? No. Popular Information found that Zuckerberg offered no congratulatory message at all to Biden after his 2020 victory.
