Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

I want to reiterate that if I had the resources of a huge political party I would not lose to these people

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Neutrality and objectivity are not the same thing and are, in fact, often contradictory goals. The objective truth is often not neutral in its political implications, and it would be a useless exercise if it was.

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

Very cool how Whitmer immediately thanked this shitstain!

Their political philosophy hinges on a vision of white supremacy in which people who aren’t white are here at the privilege of white people, which they can revoke at any time, which they expect to be received with gratitude.

Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

It’s insane to treat the filibuster as the most sacrosanct. Article 1 power of the purse, oversight, and war? Nah. Emoluments clauses? Bribery prohibition? Meh. Criminal law? 14A? Doesn’t count. But maybe the Senate changes a rule it has multiple times before? Gasp! Not that. Anything but that.

this guy started the video with his qualifications as if there was any chance i wouldn’t trust this man about clocks

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

@sixersnba.bsky.social 💦💦

The Democrats will not save us. Though often characterized as well-meaning dunces, their impotence is a core feature, not a bug. They exist to render revolutionary energy inert; they are a failsafe. They have spent 50 years coauthoring this nation’s descent into fascism.

one serious problem i see that i am not clear how we solve is, probably 50% of the GOP voting base if not more is really not interested in being part of a democracy anymore. and the only alternative is guys who think democracy means finding common ground with those people

dems honestly should not wait till the midterms to dump their shitty congressional leadership

Senate Democrats think this is the appropriate response because they begin every conflict with the assumption they will lose, and then ask “How can we end this as quickly as possible while creating the appearance of having tried to win so the base isn’t mad?”

One can hope that this hastens the end of the modern National Democratic party but people have been conditioned to accept shit sandwiches for so long that who knows...

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

i’m just so fucking tired of living through crisis after crisis and feeling like we have to beg for and negotiate with our own representatives to address the crises seriously. they shouldn’t have to be disciplined by the base into mustering an appropriate response to a fucking coup!

putting my sons thru female socialization (teaching them how to do basic household tasks and form deep, meaningful, fulfilling relationships with other people)

Imagine if Democrats relentlessly hammered him in these moments instead of assuming nothing will ever stick to him. Imagine if we demanded that Republicans answer why the President is throwing Gatsby parties and calling football plays instead of negotiating. Nah, we should definitely fold instead.

still wild how many companies/media organizations/thought leaders etc. seem to be operating under the assumption this guy and his movement have the mandate of the American people when it's clear that most of us hate him

your boots taste so delicious mister president

Vilma and Albert are such cowardly shitstains. The type of worm who'd shake hands with Hitler if they thought it's what their studio wanted

Absolution for Vilma if he cold clocks that fucker right now

hey Michiganders, let's fill up every voicemail inbox Peters has. Fuck it, send him all the mails and texts too. Fucking bury him in dissent.

You can pull up 5calls.org enter your zipcode & get a walk through with phone numbers to call & a script! It took me less than FOUR MINUTES to call my Senators!

not only am i a guy who likes to watch football, but i'm also a dad. so right off the jump i'm already one of the most fascinating people you've ever heard of. and that's before you find out that i live in brooklyn and post on bluesky a lot

Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried as quickly as possible because they're stupid, aren't capable of recognizing they're winning, are incapable of representing their constituents, and are cowards not up to this era's challenges.

*desperate for interactions on social media voice* Are the bills frauds?

JJ on JJ violence you hate to see it

Somehow despite everything the hottest flashes of murderous rage I can feel are reserved for when RedZone coverage pauses for a gambling ad

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

Never forget that a Democratic US Attorney’s decision to prosecute Aaron Swartz for downloading JSTOR PDFs contributed to his suicide but AI firms’ decision to download everything ever will be a justification for hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer bailouts and legal exemptions.

50 year mortgage is so crazy. to put it in perspective, 2016 was 50 years ago

potential revision to the “everyone is 12” theory: everyone is 12, except for Donald Trump, who is 5

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

“Signs posted in college football facilities” is a great genre

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

Is F1 straight up just not on yttv now?

Every time I see a picture of JD Vance I'm reminded of the time @bransonreese.bsky.social described a Rude Tales NPC as "a shitty little guy with a face that sucks"

virtue signalling is good actually

and if you *are* a ghoul, faking decency is the price of admission into polite society. seethe about it on your own time
