The only thing Republicans know how to do is oppose anything the Democrats are in favor of. It makes not difference in what the project is.

Republicans can only govern using racism and revenge.

The surveillance empire that tracked world leaders, a Vatican enemy, and maybe you

We uncovered a massive data trove. It revealed the hidden world of First Wap, whose untraceable tech has targeted politicians, journalists, celebrities, and activists around the globe.

They'll get White House jobs.

She is right, but the Republican party these days sure seems proud of their racism and sexism.

I would not be surprised to see some of these people hired by the White House at the rate they are going.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

People need to rally and work around apps owned by billionaire tech bros.

Kim @kimoco.bsky.social · 12h

This is the right question and I do not expect anyone with access to ask it. I hope I am wrong.

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 13h

I assume that every single journalist reading this understands that the *first question* to ask the State Department tomorrow morning is how quickly it will provide a list of foreign nationals banned from the United States for statements made about Democrats or Americans perceived to be left-leaning

I absolutely hate ants! So of course we have them in the kitchen and the bathroom medicine cabinet.

I put out the killer bait and now they are swarming it!

I HATE ANTS! There is so many of them. When I see them I keep feeling itchy. I hate ants!

I cannot wait to march in the streets with MILLIONS of Americans this Saturday to let these MAGAs know we are saying HELL NO to Trump and his admin.

How in the hell does a single person respect this guy?

Kim @kimoco.bsky.social · 13h

I'd not bet on the one being in a gang, he likely has a tat with a crown and mom written underneath.

He thinks any program that helps Americans is a waste, if we cannot afford to take care of ourselves, we don't deserve govt to help us.

Uh... so he's openly trying to rig a foreign election for a friend of his and a friend of his top donor—Musk—by saying that Argentinians will only get $20 billion dollars in American aid if they vote for Milei?

So this money Trump is stealing from US taxpayers is not to help Argentina, but his pal?
