Meiselas: MAGA Mike Johnson was being questioned about the shutdown during this disastrous press conference he held. He literally says, “I don’t have any strategy." Then Rep. Lisa McClain jumps in, apparently realizing Mike Johnson had just blown it and she completely unravels on camera.

Matt Walsh and MAGA have been citing this "study" all day to claim "total cultural victory" over trans people. Claiming that it shows less people are identifying as trans because it's a socially influenced phenomenon.

This is a great 🧵 debunking all of it

activists are doing a lot of good work to try to help the people being brutalized but the biggest and most important thing that needs to be done is to break the regime, by any means necessary, and absurdist mockery is proving to be an extremely effective part of the arsenal

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

If i was sam altman right now, i would shut up and load cargo planes and crop dusters full of cash, and dump them out over the nation to win the goodwill of the people, so they can hide me from the vicious rich rubes who start hunting him for sport any second now.
