SCOOP from me:

I uncovered that the Interior Department just quietly defunded *two* multimillion dollar research programs studying how whales move and behave near U.S. wind farms actively being built.

Trump blames wind turbines for whale deaths, then cuts vital research on the topic. 🧵

Trump claims ‘wind mills’ kill whales but quietly torpedoes the…

hey! if you’re a texan, are able to vote, & you believe in taxing the rich? get your ass to the polling place! early voting is now! there are new amendments to the tx constitution (don’t get me started on how dumb tx is for doing shit this way). too many will make it impossible to tax the rich.

The fun thing about me saying that progressives can't coalition build...is that so many of them can't. I just turned off notifications on someone, because they can't meaningfully answer a simple question. Why is it required that all Democrats nationwide endorse in a mayoral race, when that mayoral candidate didn't even endorse the Dem candidate in the previous election?
Why is it that progressives get to demand Dems do their explicit bidding, while not reciprocating in any way?
They sound a lot like...tenderqueers, don't they? "Vote for my issues but not your own."
It's not surprising that the Venn overlap of these two groups feels quite large.
If progressives want to act less like bigot-supporting reactionaries based in white supremacy and misogyny, they...would be happier in the Democratic Party. But I think they need to Go Their Own Way for a century or so. They have this idea that they can win all by themselves, despite every single "progressive" Congressperson having gotten their seat by starting as a Democrat. All but one, are -still- Democrats. But they -hate- Democrats, which sounds a lot like self-hatred to me, and that is not my problem.

Also, Harris already endorsed him? What's the point of being aggro about this NOW? Fetterman didn't endorse him, so it's just the ninja women who DID that are the problem? Like NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY FUCKING SENSE!

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

Lots of people seem to have convinced themselves that Fetterman’s stroke is the only thing that made him actually bad, which is 1) a justification he doesn’t deserve, and 2) an attempt to not have gotten snowed by the guy’s affect in the first place.

Leftyists really need to pick better leaders. I'm not joining them until they have a non-racist leader, a platform, a Party, and ballot access in all 50 states, AT MINIMUM.
