Oh my favorite political theorist? S.G. Hobson, you’ve probably never heard of him

@USPirates Hey they're talking about you @ProhibitionUS!

Happy 4/20! 🍃 Crack open a beer or roll one up for this one… …or don’t! It's your choice. That’s kind of the point. Through the Spyglass: Hibition out now! uspirates.org/through-the-sp…

@ggreenwald Me when I pretend I wasn't pro-Trump

If Trump ends this war without regime change, the MAGA cult members who cheered this war on the ground that we must change the regime in Iran will then praise Trump for having the wisdom to stop before we get to that point.

@johoshua @TheILPP @grok The data center isn't even the crux of the issue; elected officials will have 600 of their constituents telling them "We don't want this" for six hours then unanimously vote "Yes", not because they know the concerns are bs, but because they've all been handsomely paid to vote yes

@TheILPP My company is part of multiple multi-billion data center projects. I am an expert in environmental engineering. This bitch has no idea what's she's talking about. @grok research Microsoft corporate data sustainability initiative and current contributions to environmental safety

Yorkville, Illinois btw

@yourlittldogtwo @nxd1979 The Hillary team did the whole "look at how white they are" thing with Bernie and socialism in general in order to make it seem like that’s a white kid's movement and not one that had black folks' best interests in mind. As opposed to liberals, who uphold capitalism

@nxd1979 You're complaining because Bernie ran vibes campaign that won less votes and had no outreach to black people so y'all have spent the last 10 years crying about how 2016 was rigged when it really Bernie who was the weaker candidate.

this was a completely rigged election btw. the DNC gave clinton control over the party finances, the DNC leadership brainstormed media narratives to undermine bernie, donna brazile admitted to giving clinton debate questions ahead of time, the superdelegates etc

@DiegoVPeru @HRH_SHP @PopCrave He’s literally on the show with her? Plus his father was a longtime politician, the family clearly had a little sway

@HRH_SHP @PopCrave Pls. Billy ray had one hit ten years before the audition. Let’s not be cute and say he had major pull in Hollywood lol

Gary Marsh reveals Miley Cyrus almost wasn’t cast as Hannah Montana, with executives split until the final vote: “We cast for 11 months. We were down to the last two girls, and you were this 12 year old pistol and raw and real and fresh out of Tennessee. And you both left, there's 10 people in the room, and we took a vote. It was not a landslide. And people put forth their real opinion, and I had made a decision, and I wrote an email to the team. It said, 'we pride ourselves not just on creating great television, but on creating stars. I'm ready to pull the trigger on Miley. Is she a risk? Unquestionably true. Is she a potential star? Absolutely. And whatever comes of this decision, I'm thrilled that all of us will be able to sit down over a drink in a few years and remember this moment when we decided to forsake the safe route for the riskier one and the greater reward.’ That's what you did. You brought that out of them. That's what you brought to the table. That's why this was successful.”

@beatmastermatt @RepMann Well, let’s uncap the house and then keep the budget for the salaries the same. Surely you guys could take a paycut, right @RepMann?

After 76 days, he finally responded...to my Electric Needle Room email address, but it's still progress. Here was his response and my response back to him this afternoon. Thank you @RepMann for responding, but I hope you continue to hear me out. :) #projectnocap

@DailyLibber @DumpsterThug666 @kuchisakeonnax Incredible how okay outsiders are with carpetbagging

@DumpsterThug666 @kuchisakeonnax I don’t want Kat anywhere near Congress is that clear enough for you?

Reminder that Kat Abughazaleh is a recent Illinois transplant who has no endorsements from anyone in the state.

@nikicaga Everyday I am exposed to seeing Euros having opinions on U.S. politics and it shortens my lifespan more than any cigarette has ever dared to

Kat's stance on Taiwan proves she is a LION, like whether you agree with or not she clearly isn't running as the "current leftist thing" candidate and has strong personal opinions. They mostly happen to be great opinions too!

She was a teenager and has worked in progressive media for years since Sometimes people genuinely change opinions! Hillary was a Goldwater girl and Warren used to be a Republican for quite a bit!

@PaulSkallas You should see the signature requirements in every state for third parties and independents compared to the old powers. They do what they can to prevent any alternative from rising

The early 20th century was one of the last periods where political systems were weak enough that outsiders could seize total power. Mass politics had arrived, but professional political classes hadn’t fully stabilized yet. Mussolini was a journalist. Hitler a failed artist. Stalin a seminary dropout and bandit. None came from traditional elites The system stops that now.

@RollingStone Rolling Stone publishing an AI written article and running hasbara, now I’ve seen it all

Commentary: Inside Tel Aviv’s “bomb-shelter raves,” where Israelis gather during missile alerts and dance to electronic music — a defiant act of survival. rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

@TimSheehyMT Unbelievable how you think this is defensivable. Tester would’ve never!

Capitol Police were attempting to remove an unhinged protestor from the Armed Services hearing. He was fighting back. I decided to help out and deescalate the situation. This gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one. I hope he gets the help he needs without causing further violence.

@ProhibitionUS Prohibition Party I love you

France had L'Alarme against alcoholism by 1914. Norway had prohibition by 1919. Canada, Finland, the United States. The whole industrialized world saw the same problem and reached the same answer.

@HairyAssTrueman @TheRealBeliveau The coward blocked me lmao

@GuildsmanIPA @TheRealBeliveau Noticeably silent

America will lose a principled conservative voice in Congress. Dan Crenshaw is a patriot, a war hero, and a serious conservative who has defended his country, the Constitution, and the institutions that sustain our republic. At a time when our politics too often rewards outrage and empty slogans, Dan has led with substance, courage, and a genuine commitment to public service and to the Permanent Things in American conservatism. The current trajectory of the Republican primary electorate is moving in a different direction. Across the country, thoughtful, principled conservatism is being displaced by populism untethered from the constitutional order and the institutional framework that makes American self-government possible. That should concern anyone who cares about the long-term future of the conservative movement and the nation. America does not benefit from having two progressive parties—one of the left and one of the populist right. The country needs a strong conservative coalition grounded in limited government, constitutionalism, free enterprise, and respect for our institutions. “I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so,” Russell Kirk said. “Yet out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin.” Dan embodies those conservative principles. That’s why I went to work for him and why it remains one of the best decisions of my life. Whatever the future may hold, Texas and America are better because of his service. And I am better for having served under his leadership. Proud to be on Team Crenshaw.

@PaulSkallas Has to be a holdover from the anti-communist era, no?

@beatmastermatt @RepMann Please keep this up, Mr. Beat. This is not for naught, your dedication will inspire

It's now Day 24 of emailing my Congressman, @RepMann, every single day until he changes his mind about uncapping the House. He still has yet to give me one reason why he doesn't support it and has blocked me tagging him on all platforms. #projectnocap

@atrupar So the landlords who rent out to "illegal immigrants" are to blame? Can’t help but agree! Let's hold them accountable

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

@We_Bash_Fash @strike_dr There is only one in all of history who ever did and was killed for his troubles

@So2Speak23 @ConQrM_PL Ahh to be 16 and full of shit again

@ConQrM_PL Property rights are the only rights

There’s no such thing as a “human right” There’s no such thing as a “human right” There’s no such thing as a “human right” There’s no such thing as a “human right”

@EuropeanPirates @PiratepartyGR @PirateSenex What are you guys, Putin? Having to dig into the historical records to justify genocide and war? Shameful, this is far from the Pirate movement I admire.

Long 🧵on the new "chairperson"of the disgraced & irrelevant @Piratenpartei: To show us how much they promote young ppl & how much they believe in women, they elected 18yo Frau Lilia Kayra Kuyumcu as their chair - even more inexperienced than Lukas Küffner. 1/15
