More important than any political issue, than any country, than anything at all. Currently almost nonexistent in our discourse.

Hard to believe I’m even writing this.

Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C (89.6°F) than its annual average.

[steven squealberg @potentduck]

Stupid, bad, conceding our entire political order to trumps filth.

@StephenM shut up you ugly fuck

[steven squealberg @potentduck]

One of the funniest things to watch in these numbers this year has been the massive surges of voting for Dems before and after work. GA republicans = party of the lazy voter. Get a job losers.

[Greg Bluestein @bluestein]

Republicans are catching up … a bit. State elections officials say GOP primary voters slightly outnumber Democratic voters as of 1p. Roughly 400,000 Georgians have voted so far today. #gapol

They’re gonna send me to a black site for this but it’s not a joke: deficit reduction

[steven squealberg @potentduck]

If Dems will simply move to the right on uh...let's see, the environment, and I guess...gay people? We can once again win a 6 seat majority in a body that requires 2/3 to accomplish anything of note. You heard him boys.

[steven squealberg @potentduck]

It's always a good day to read Foner, but it's a great day today. America's long national death march continues as we stray further from our true revolution of the 1860s.

The more I talk to my boomer parents about their teen years the more it feels like the 1973 energy crisis was The defining socioeconomic moment of the 20th century on this continent possibly including the second world war lol

[steven squealberg @potentduck]

Here you will see a top advisor to the president of the United States mourning the end of hereditary governance in the UK. That's because the right is now infected with a volkish white supremacy that sees western heritage as broadly supreme, no matter if it's bad or good.

@Jaboicruz This is "Jaboicruz"'s first tweet since the first day of December, 2025. It also marks his first non-atlanta falcons related tweet since September, when he declared that Mr. Kirk should "rest in piss"

Follow for more.

[steven squealberg @potentduck]

Probably nothing sillier than hearing people say that our "order" has "broken down" because now suddenly "might makes right."

In what world has might not made right in post WW2 geopolitics? The diff is that now Europe and western powers fear they may be on the wrong end.

Between this and carney it's the first time in my lifetime I've heard people be honest about what the "rules based order" really meant. A crazy acknowledgement that wouldn't have been made pre trump. Interesting! More!

[Acyn @Acyn]

AOC: We’ve seen such a fraying of these alleged Western values that people wonder whether they ever existed in the first place.

So I don’t know if it’s necessarily that we are in a post–rules-based order. I think it’s possible that we were in a pre–rules-based order. And we have an opportunity to explore what the world would look like if we upheld democracy, human rights, and trade that actually centers working-class people instead of overwhelmingly accruing the benefits of trade to the wealthiest.

If we reoriented toward a new era, it could actually help people — and show how foreign policy, and healthy foreign policy, can show up in their lives and make a difference.

[steven squealberg @potentduck]

@Mr_rager23 She's not saying they shouldn't be infinitely accessible. She's saying they're finite now but our capital markets fail to account for their value, thus they are abused. Making resource depletion accountable to the market would have positive environmental effects, she's arguing.

Bishop Taylor has long been one of the best bishops in this country. Incredible and sobering article from him here. https://t.co/85FQLeZM91

[steven squealberg @potentduck]

Cowardly and out of touch statement. "They have a tough job" we need to "speak out." Masked Gestapo are executing Americans in the streets. Where are you! They laid siege to this man's city and he never showed up on the lines. No one is coming.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

[Leigh Phillips @Leigh_Phillips]

As we frighteningly lurch toward a return of Anni di piombo (Years of Lead), @meagankday and @BenBurgis in Jacobin issue an important democratic socialist critique of political violence and defence of open debate and free speech.

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Dems blowing out a special election by 50 points then walking into a Kamala Harris recrimination news cycle… yeah, that sounds right.

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field.

New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.

[steven squealberg @potentduck]

Constantly thinking about a random tweet I saw in replies once that said it would be easier to vote for democrats if it wasn't so humiliating to be ruled by them.

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Okay, here’s the fight song.

Only good thing the trump admin has done. Let the cows perish.

Example 678969: The USA has been dumping hundreds of millions of sterile flies out of airplanes onto Panama for the past 80 years. Specifially to keep a flesh eating parasites called the screwworm under control. These parasites can kill a full-size cow in less than 2 weeks. (Eating it alive) This practice has saved the US beef industry an estimated 900 million dollars over its history.

Yeah so Anyway... the parasites are headed our way again. 👍
