@JuliaMasonMD1 @mattyglesias @ezraklein @jonfavs I dunno, these are the "boys" you're banning from participation in youth soccer and that doesn't seem like such a tough sell to me

Holy hell. For the love of everything American I’m going to take a deep breath and respond to this absolute dribble.

I pay taxes. YOU pay taxes. WE pay taxes.

The idea that American tax dollars should go towards the improvement of American lives is NOT socialism.

I have not ONCE advocated for the government to assume control of the means of production and equally spread those resources amongst the populace.

THAT is socialism.

FFS I am literally advocating for tax levels to be where they were before Reagan came in with his trickle down bull SHIT and gutted the working class.

The billionaires are NOTHING without us. They leverage our resources, our energy, our labor and our LIVES.

Not ONCE have I asked for or advocated for an equal distribution of wealth.

On God, we are just SICK of giving every single thing we have to offer to the oligarchs and going bankrupt with a single cancer diagnosis.

We pay everything and get NOTHING.

The dam is breaking. And comments like THIS only serve as a reminder that propaganda WORKS.

@BevJacksonAuth @WomenAreReals @ezraklein Comparing transpeople to cancer is supposed to make moderate voters feel like youre taking the reasonable humane position in this debate? Where's the club for ppl who think transwomen are real & valid but also biologically =/= women so sports isn't a cut & dried issue either way?

@Ike_Saul ... and here we go

[Mitzi Alton @MitziAlton]

@Ike_Saul Maybe it's too dark to suggest, but the Trump/right narrative around this feels like it's laying the groundwork for the endgame of fascism, which is the disappearance/euthanasia of groups of people. They dont want treatment for folks, they want concentration camps.

@MeghanMcCain What in the everloving duck are you talking about?

[Mitzi Alton @MitziAlton]

@lanwanmandan @unusual_whales I think you just invented government cheese

[Mitzi Alton @MitziAlton]

@B3nL1pman @unusual_whales We're not just giving them "garbage food," they get what they pay for and have access to, and by and large make the choices that are best for them.

[Mitzi Alton @MitziAlton]

@GaelenBet @unusual_whales And low-income folks should be given housing, not vouchers to shop on the open market?

“I don't believe those numbers. We're doing so well. We want straight numbers. This person is very suspect to me. We fired her.” - Trump

Orwell is laughing from his grave.

[Mitzi Alton @MitziAlton]

@oren_cass Sounds like the plan. Fire the civil servant to fire up the haters then the replacement does this victory lap, Trump declares victory, dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits earth

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

The firing of the BLS Commissioner, favorable treatment of Maxwell, intimidation of the universities—a notable week on the slide to a banana republic.

I hope everyone is brushing up on the history of stagflation -- where an economy has both high prices and low job creation.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

[Mitzi Alton @MitziAlton]

@RonFilipkowski Cry harder

[Rep. Jack Kimble @RepJackKimble]

Our long national nightmare is over.

[Mike Konczal @mtkonczal]

This is a bad jobs report. 73,000 jobs would have been worrisome to begin with, but deeply negative revisions to the previous two-months wiped out much of the recent gains. 2025 looks a lot worse the further we get into it.

There's a lot to cover, let's dig in. /1
