i remain amused that cenk uygur and ana kasparian continue to tell democrats how to do politics when they've veered so hard to the right that they've spent weeks trying to rehabilitate tucker carlson and nick fuentes to their dwindling audience

Fun fact: November 28, 2001: "ENRON, which had been a component of the S&P; 500, was removed at the end of trading Thursday and replaced by NVIDIA Corp., a Santa Clara, Calif.-based maker of computer-graphics chips."

MAGA is having a totally normal one as they slowly start to realize comey can't be charged again by ANYONE in the DOJ (oh, and since halligan isn't actually a DOJ attorney, tish james is safe too - because nobody legal at DOJ wants to get within 10 miles of that failcase)

siri, why is bluesky better than xitter?

i feel like there are parallels here we should be learning from www.npr.org/transcripts/...

It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

Sign at the US Military Academy at West Point:

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

fox "news" isn't helping matters by openly lying about gaines and claiming at various times that she is an "olympian" or an "olympic medalist" (she washed out in her only attempt at the olympic trials)

My take away from this interview [gift link] is that Vance's "National Conservatism" is a form of blood and soil nationalism that is deeply invested in claiming (and possibly actually believing) that it is NOT a form of blood and soil nationalism. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/o...

it's a fuckin shame not one of these absolute clowns will ever face actual consequences for their wanton lawlessness

am i nucking futs or is #theyoungturks desperately trying to rehab marjorie taylor greene's reputation? any thoughts @franifio.bsky.social? your conversation with john hastings sent me down a rabbit hole and it seems a large number of recent TYT broadcasts are really pushing this line IMO.

the fact that most of the media is filling time with thinkpieces about how the government can refuse to release the epstein files even if trump signs the bill should itself be a bigger story

heads are gonna start fucking exploding when people begin to realize that the american dream has been redesigned to be out of touch for anyone in the working class

hustle culture, private military style

meta is now requiring selfie photos as "verification" for accounts on threads. if you haven't already, it's time to bail. i hope bsky isn't next.

ladies and gentlemen: we got the capitol pipe bomber.

Incredible piece of data journalism here from @wsj.com. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

behold, Alpha Male

the libs are absolutely not equipped for what's coming

these horrible takes can only come from a concerted effort to sidestep/avoid what is by now an undeniable fact: *MAGA is a literal cult* nothing dear leader does will fail to garner their support. they're offering apologetics for pedophilia now. they won't care about war against brown people.

the MAGA trollbots have arrived on bluesky

you mean like this? (seems pretty obvious why you turned off replies here.)

lol lmao

Libertarians are just Republicans who are sick of the government telling them their girlfriend has to sit in a car seat

"...and that's why we need to protect Dear Leader from himself"

@hellwqrldpodcast.bsky.social l fyi i believe the latest pod is a repost of the previous one - no steph, and it's all sounding pretty familiar. is @azrww.bsky.social coming back any time soon?

the overton window is FUBAR

tuesday's blue tsunami was so earthshaking that MAGA states have hit the brakes on redistricting because they realize they likely overplayed their hands, making MANY "safe" districts vulnerable to another wave election thebeaconnews.org/stories/2025...

there is no universe in which you can declare anything you see here "alpha"

@angryblacklady.blacksky.app i don't think you're on the meta properties but i saw this over there and instantly thought of you h/t www.threads.com/@cailian13/p...

this is not something companies do when they need to plan for a change in parties at the top. they are complicit with the attempts to entrench one-party dictatorship.

i'm seeing a whole lot of leftist lawyers and analysts post optimistically about the prospects for the plaintiffs in the SCOTUS tariffs case, learning resources v trump, after the the oral arguments.

jesus fucking christ we are cooked

"so that's where my heroin went..."

lying under oath. there's a legal term for that, isn't there?

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social they finna put you out of business

consider that the NJ governor's race was an absolute, comprehensive blowout. now consider how hard right-wing media pushed the idea that jack ciattarelli had a coin-flip chance to win, even up until the last minute. it's almost shocking to me they didn't lead off the morning with "VOTER FRAUD!"

does he switch to german when the press leaves?

my favorite genre of post-election bluesky this morning is "dragging bill ackman"

must be part of the ongoing dealmaking with senate republicans. he thinks he has the votes now to ram this wholly conflicted and unqualified oligarch through the confirmation process. should be interesting to see if the calculus changes after last night's blue tsunami.

this is top-tier
