This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

It’s weird that some people who were so loud about Mamdani being the model of resistance don’t appear to have the slightest unease over his meeting in the Oval the very week Trump called for Dems to be hanged.

All I’m asking for is a little consistency at how you act towards your faves & others doing the exact same behavior or fluffery in order to keep federal funding as part of their basic job duties, whether a shitty picture comes out later or the ass-kissing is nauseating without one.

Although it’s horribly unfair to the survivors of the abuse, I wish they release their list and blow the lid off everything. This administration won’t do shit.

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

I’m not asking this to be an ass, but I don’t get why Gretchen Whitmer was excoriated for meeting with Trump in the Oval Office but it’s cool for Mamdani to do so. Why is it different.

Ugh. Panel on @11thhourmsnow.bsky.social locating about the GOP’s “working class base.” I’m so tired of the assumption that only white people are working class. The media just avoids meaningful racial discussion in electoral politics.

Both parties are not the same

We’re all piggy. Stay loud.

Reminds of what the press can do when they feel like it… www.pewresearch.org/journalism/1...

It’s funny that even now, with everything we know, there’s still a retreat towards treating racism as somehow uniquely unbelievable.

ONE MILLION U.S. citizens DIED because he fumbled COVID! He tried to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021! How could the stakes not have been properly described. What else Needed to be described? This is some white shit I will NEVER understand.

If Joe Biden had an MRI a month ago and we had no idea why it was done or on what body part and he claimed he had no idea about either of those things it would literally be all you heard about in the press but Trump just gets a huge pass b/c reporters treat him differently.

BlueSky mob in a nutshell. So online and vocal with Dem hatred but completely ignorant of how anything works.

The Democrats are not at fault for anything going badly in your life right now.

Just had to turn off MSNBC again. They’re still high as a kite on their “young voter” kick. Of course their idea of “young voters” are white young voters. Interesting that they never look at the racial disparities in voting. Actually, given their Sanders-centric focus it’s not all that surprising.

Nancy Pelosi deserves a fucking monument on the national mall, not the “she should have retired years ago” bullshit currently being shat out on social media. This is like the ultimate litmus test for who cares about delivering policy wins that help people and who cares about brand-building tripe.

An important point I don’t see my fellow white people making on this app.

The persistent fallacy about New York City being the center of the known universe is mainly promoted by the people who live there.

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

They LITERALLY campaigned on making children go hungry as a political statement and they can't figure out why they lost.

Stuff like this, coming hot on the heels of two amazingly well qualified women running for president being savaged from the right and (more importantly) the left for completely insane bullshit sexist reasons, leaves me cold.

I agree completely with AOC on this, but everywhere I’ve seen this posted commenters clearly didn’t listen to a thing she said.

MSNBC would do exactly the same and then require that each program that day use it as a “both sides” and then talk about Dems’ bad messaging.

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

Well...Leader Jeffries did Mamdani the same way Mamdani did Kamala Harris. And for this, I am immensely proud.

if only Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris got the amount of grace given by some "progressives" to a man with nazi tattoo.

Everyone who told you to support John Fetterman in that primary, is now telling you to support an ex-Blackwater mercenary with no voting record in the Maine primary. When are you going to catch on?

Just posted this today. Every election is important!

I expect the ageist left to be totally consistent in response to 46 year old centrist Seth Moulton challenging 80 year old progressive senator - and leftist's sweetheart - Ed Markey.

Today we honor the rich history, culture, and resilience of Indigenous communities—past and present. As we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, let’s commit to telling the truth about our history, protecting sacred lands, and fighting for justice that includes everyone. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

You know what’s really tiresome? Hearing over & over again that “Republicans are good at messaging.” Saying “Democrats are all terrorists in Antifa” a million times isn’t being good at messaging. It’s just being good at bullshit.

So exciting!!

Whew! She is the ultimate Karen…were we right or were we right about her! Another one the “progressives” tried to shove down our throats!

Essential thread. Read it. Sit with it.

If you're a reporter in DC lobbing questions about who's gonna perform at the Super Bowl to the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, you're just a shit stirrer and a hack. Plenty of things in Mike Johnson's wheelhouse you should be asking him about. Bad Bunny ain't one of them.

I saw this on FB. Ruins of a 1500-year old synagogue along with various artifacts were found in the Golan Heights. Yet dumb leftists think that Jews showed up in Israel in 1948.

I see movie studios push AI actresses and immediately think of how they blindsided Sharon Stone with the interview scene in Basic Instinct. She learned not to trust studios and directors and for that was labeled "difficult". Execs don't have those kinds of concerns with a bot.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

We really do need to collect our own and stop expecting others to do it for us.

More important now than ever to remember that the most progressive place in the world can’t protect people who can’t afford to live in it, and can’t welcome people it refuses to make room for.

"Fascism—ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power". -Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd POTUS 🌊

I’m confused. Kegseth is proposing NDAs for military. I’ve never heard of NDAs in this context. How do NDAs function in the context of the UCMJ and federal laws about retention and dissemination of information (esp FOIA)?

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

Folk will organize to get their favorite talk show host back on the air but not to stop the election of the authoritarian who's administration bullied ABC into suspending him.

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.
