We are not the only ones fighting for our rights and freedom. Here we have the youngest member of the New Zealand Parliament, starting a Haka to protest a proposed law, by the far right, that would allow the reinterpretation of New Zealand’s founding legal document, the treaty…

I think one of the most difficult reckonings of this election is that the incentives we thought inspired voting choices -- a better life for your family and future for your community -- may not be as decisive as the desire to dominate and inflict cruelty on outgroups.…

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: big cup of Folgers, a little blow, and then down to the Bahamas to have sex with underage girls. And now the Attorney General is bringing all of that back

They voted for this and they voted for his Senate so now we get DEI for white folks

So excited for another four years of “Republicans, Shocked and Disgusted in Private, Unanimously Vote for Trump’s Agenda Anyway” stories

My phone is blowing up with Senate Republican aides aghast at Trump’s nomination of Gaetz. Some quite confidently saying there’s no way their boss votes to confirm him. We’ll see.

Apropos of Elon & Vivek's excellent efficiency adventure, back in 1989 Bush sr set VP Dan Quayle up with something called The Council on Competitiveness. It was basically a backroom operation where corps cld toss in a few bucks and get a regulation killed. This will be the same.

If you wouldn't call 2020 a landslide for Democrats (+4.4%) - and it wasn't... You should NOT be calling 2024 (-2.1%) a landslide for Republicans - it's not.

Very kind of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to become government officials while remaining in their executive roles at companies that either do business with or have regulatory conflicts with the government.

Biden: This is the last time I will stand here at Arlington as commander in chief. It's been the greatest honor of my life, to lead you, to serve you, to care for you, to defend you, just as you defended us generation after generation after generation.

Every time someone repeats this nonesense abt a "conclusive mandate" or biggest in 40 yrs remind yourself it's a crock. By any measure. Electorally it's identical to Joe Biden's; not even totally clear yet Trump breaks 50% or wins the popular vote. Both of Obama's victories were…

What the hell is going on in the US Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on.…

Hey, credulous media, I hope this clears things up for you:

Nothing would have changed this. All you need to do is look at the gains he made universally to know that no tweak would have mattered. White America didn’t vote for a dictator by accident. They want it.

Guys, this is such a bloodbath that I don't think picking Shapiro would have changed anything.

IF Sherrod Brown (a legitimately really good senator that actually responded to constituent concerns) loses to a used car salesman who stole wages from his employees, we have really lost the plot and I don’t think we find it again.

How do you define “bad”? People getting what they voted for is not bad in a democracy. And what they voted for is an evil fascist country who hurts “the right people.” So, probably pretty “bad” if you’re, like me, one of the people they want to hurt.


Alex Dueben Reposted

Yep. The Russians didn’t do this. Trump won because of good ol’ fashioned white supremacy.

It's important NOT to overstate the role of Russian interference efforts on social media on the US election. We've tracked two Russia-linked operations for months - and they've been putting out lots of content. But most of their fakes consistently failed to get traction...



Alex Dueben Reposted

Many Americans of all races do not believe our norms and institutions work, and a message about protecting them from a force promising to upend them will not be effective.

Sharing this again, from July.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The years ahead will be rough. Now is not the time for despair or to quit, but to shift energy. Get into community. Learn how to organize. Get grounded physically, spiritually, and creatively. If you haven't already, start NOW.



Alex Dueben Reposted

Nature has some clues. We hear about trees growing closer and deeper together, interlocking roots to help withstand storms. So now is the time to plant yourself in community, and interlock with one another in preparation for the storm. Get rooted. Start soon.

Wait, that wacky "pronatalist" couple with the glasses secretly wants a literal dictatorship to rebuild society via the "mass production of genetically selected humans"? WHODATHUNKIT theguardian.com/us-news/2024/n…
