.@jamestalarico: I've had a lot of interviews with national media. No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. No one's asked me about the cost of prescription drugs. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.

The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians.

We hear you. We see you. We’re ignoring you - The Democratic Party

Fuck everyone who voted for Trump. Every last one of you.

Nothing changed after Sandy Hook.

Nothing changed after Jan 6.

Nothing changed after George Floyd.

Nothing changed after Renee Good.

Nothing will probably change after this either. Her emails, a tan suit, abortion, gun rights (ironic) or some other bullshit taking point will win over the morons and continue to allow tyrannical & evil people to control the government.

There was a time I truly believed good would win out. I’m losing faith by the day. The country is broken. I’m embarrassed by it. Everything we do internationally and domestically is fucked. The most simple & basic ideals are dying by the day. People are being murdered in the street. We have no moral compass and no high ground to stand on. I hope for change. I pray for change. I call for change. But I no longer expect it. A plague on all the houses that brought this to fruition and are too stupid, or evil, to realize what they’ve done. I hope tomorrow’s better. I bet it’s worse. I hope I’m wrong.

I think the hardest part of the political climate right now is realizing how many people around me are actually evil. Not stupid. Not misinformed. Just blatantly enjoying and relishing in the suffering of other human beings.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”

all other problems are this problem. all other discourse is a distraction from this

We are governed by fools and led by idiots

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok.

They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post.

They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets.

“Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

[Peter Twinklage @PeterTwinklage]

the U.S. has enjoyed such decadence for so long that Americans genuinely lack the imagination to conceive of how bad things can get — and how quickly. we are not God’s special, shiny city upon a hill. it can happen here. we’re watching it happen in real time.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

The countries where comedians can't mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.

[The Nation @thenation]

Charlie Kirk was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct.

So much of Trumpism is deeply insecure men trying to act out some fantasy.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

He says he’s surprised Putin doesn’t want peace. What a fucking idiot.

“Bottom 60%” is a funny way of saying the majority.
