For a bit I forgot that the current political movement was won with a weak minority and is managed by annoying dorks who nobody likes who have terrible vibes. This video has 1.3 million likes and is a good reminder that better things are possible, even for those of us outside NYC. A good night!

It’s rigged in the most ridiculous ways. Musk is always openly talking about tinkering with the algorithm.

Any non-fascists still posting there seem to be in denial about this fact, which should be obvious by now.

When you stop using X then open it back up after a while, you realize how obviously it’s designed to elevate vicious jerks who share Musk and Trump’s cruelest, dumbest beliefs. Harder to see when you’re addicted to it; blazingly apparent from the outside looking in.

Journalists: It’s bad for you!

More premeditated killing at sea.

The "designated terrorist organization" supposedly operating this vessel is unidentified.

The basis for labeling the victims "narco-terrorists" is unspecified.

Cloaking lawless killing in the guise of counterterrorism doesn't actually make it counterterrorism.

Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO).

Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. The strike was conducted in international waters in the Eastern Pacific.

No U.S. forces were harmed in the strike, and two male narco-terrorists — who were aboard the vessel — were killed.

We will find and terminate EVERY vessel with the intention of trafficking drugs to America to poison our citizens. Protecting the homeland is our TOP priority. NO cartel terrorist stands a chance against the American military.

Zohran Mamdani in his victory speech in the NYC mayoral race tonight said: "In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light."

Mamdani calls NYC "light" in "political darkness" after historic win

"New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

very funny to yell “and so it begins”
into your private sandbox social media site months after you’ve ordered an invading army into multiple cities.

screaming “now it’s personal!” into a fisher price phone while your hired goons are setting fire to stuff hung on the walls in the neighbor’s garage.

Affordability, affordability, affordability: Democrats’ new winning formula

From a democratic socialist in New York to moderates in Virginia and New Jersey, Democrats found success by focusing on the cost of living — not culture wars.

As ever... the vast, vast majority of people don't want the hellscape the right is forcing on us. they really are the minority viewpoint. vocal? yes. powerful? unfortunately, yes. But there are so many more people who don't want to live in the world they're trying to make.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

"And we will build a city hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does not waver in the fight against the scourge of antisemitism... Where the more than one million Muslims know that they belong."

This is the kind of solidarity we need.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 6h

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."
