Do not for one second believe that Californians are united behind Newsom as a presidential candidate regardless of our support for prop 50

I've tried to give Kaiser Permanente the benefit of the doubt. It's what I imagined healthcare for all would look like. Not perfect but decent care. But I'm done. I went to the ER with severe injuries, including likely torn ligaments in my knee, and they won't even examine it for nearly a month. 1/x

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

What the fuck?

It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and protect each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.

A threat to authoritarianism anywhere is a threat to authoritarianism everywhere

Israeli forces killed more than 70 people in Gaza on Wednesday and launched deadly attacks on Yemen.

I take it all back, there ARE violent criminals on the streets of San Francisco. They're grabbing people off the street and pepper spraying journalists.

When Clarence Thomas meets a white billionaire who needs a favor.

I disagree. I will tell you what's wrong with his jeans. 🧵

Liberalism ENABLED the end of slavery, but did not drive it. Slaves themselves ended slavery & Haiti was founded as a result. A new biography by @juliagaffield.bsky.social tells the story of Jean-Jacque Dessalines, who France demonized in revenge. My @liberalcurrents.com interview:

you have no idea what black americans are about to do with this picture.

This is what heaven looks like. Never ending dumplings and polite canine chunksters.

1. The extra marginal tax rate will affect millionaires' daily lives almost not at all, which is why in reality none of them would leave the state. 2. When you have this much money, your accountant/financial folks are already making you as tax efficient as possible. www.wbur.org/news/2025/04...

Public health officials in Florida are reporting 21 cases of campylobacter and E. coli infections linked to drinking raw milk, all from the same farm.

despite everything, i still believe in the potential of humankind to create utopia. but it will require hard work, courage, and above all else extremely deep v-necks that go almost down to the dick

starting to think we should give "strange women lying in ponds distributing swords" a chance as a basis for our system of government

RIP to a real one

Omg i just realized this is who K pop boys look like

I can't believe people are actually celebrating the death of Hulk Hogan just because *reads literally anything about Hulk Hogan* Oh. Carry on then.

a gen z’er at work just said “who is hulk hogan? was he famous in the 1900’s?” so i reported her to HR

"Last Thursday, at a town hall in Jonesborough, Tennessee, a 35-year-old woman shared her story: she was denied prenatal care by her physician because they objected to the fact that she wasn’t married, nor did she plan to be." nashvillebanner.com/2025/07/20/d...

I understand the allure of wanting to be a "carry guns and wear leather jackets" Black Panther but there's a case to be made that the most dangerous ones were the "feed kids breakfast and teach them about settler colonialism" Black Panthers

holy shit lmao

The Challenger explosion.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

commemorate the 4th as i do every year with a reading of Frederick Douglass's "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?" read here by the late James Earl Jones www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtfZ...

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

They're all just going to ignore Brad Lander, huh.

Well I'm Jewish I don't agree with @ericswalwell.bsky.social's decision to be a fucking liar, and I definitely trust Zohran Mamdani more than I trust Eric Swalwell's defamatory ass

i am not saying blue sky affected the outcome at all i am just saying if zohran mamdani had lost we would be hearing endless snide remarks about how his only support was on irrelevant blue sky lol

LAPD is working with ice / feds and are basically doing security for their operations. Please report this correctly.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Donald Trump‘s deranged Memorial Day screed against federal judges raises two serious questions: When exactly was former president Biden diagnosed with cancer? And why has he not held a solo press conference to address it?

The road to fascism is paved with people who told you to stop overreacting.

Just got a CB2 catalog and noticed there are no product prices. My assumption is since none of their shit is actually made in the States and most of it comes from Asia, they don’t wanna print prices because they have no idea how much things are actually going to cost due to tariffs.

murder is bad and if you feel that way then hopefully you also agree mass murder is bad

Re: latest read, @crissle.com and @thekidfury.bsky.social, the “Unfit” episode of season 3 of The Handmaid’s Tale. 🫤

/9 …I’m not feeling betrayed, because I never expected anything of them. Demicompetent hacks who have pushed the carceral and security state for decades while assuming pretense to being “progressive” are dishonest? Well I fucking never.

/8 It seems as if a lot of the people who are the most focused on/outraged by the story are people who are really invested in the Democratic Party as a political and social institution. I’m just not. I’ve never been warmer with them than “well, okay, I guess.” So….
