hes going to end up just handing over half our nuclear arsenal to them once gas hits $6/gallon

theyre on to us

Oh, I like this: state law requiring ICE to waive supremacy clause immunity if it wants to contract with local agencies?

oh we’re like FUCKED fucked

ok but im capable of sitting in a bath tub while holding a toaster at any time but like, then what

it's hard not to keep coming back to the fact that they could simply have Not Done This they could have not bombed Iran! the strait would be open! we wouldn't be staring down a massive global economic crisis! none of this had to happen!

Fox News has spent less than 12 minutes covering the Pentagon's reported request for $200 billion to pay for the war in Iran. In the same time frame, they've spent 26 minutes talking about Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders being asked to leave a restaurant. www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

"did you know the USPS is losing money" no I didn't know and I still don't care do you know how much money your president has lost you since January

imo the theme of the second trump administration (and the COVID year of the first one!) is super rich guys being genuinely surprised when they can’t buy their way out of physical, material reality

We’re quickly learning that our checks, balances, and separation of powers were always dependent good faith, and therefore incapable of preventing destruction wrought by the very sort of shameless, arrogant, mad president they were designed to contain.

the “post-leftists act normal about kat challenge”

id rather have high speed rail tbh

we have to stop this anti-Semitic freak shit before it festers further. It is not fucking acceptable

theyre calling me blueskys resident bad boy

Thinking about this again, how the wise, sage, cold eyed analysts at Goldman determined we should be back to about 50% of normal oil exports by now

time to watch college basketball for the first time this season

Can you imagine if every recession except for one going back to the 1950s happened under Democratic presidents? The GOP would have already put that in schoolbooks, yet I don't think I've ever heard a Democrat bring this fact up.

mind-boggling to me that i still have yet to see a single democrat utter the phrase “every republican president of your lifetime has destroyed the economy and started a war”

hate to be a debbie downer but as a veteran of living through economic collapse sparked by republican policy, not looking forward to the next decade or so

IS 👏 THIS 👏 GOOD👏

one of donald trumps favorite power consolidating moves is to create such a catastrophic mess that everyone else has no choice but to help clean it up the problem here is that the catastrophic mess is lightning the world on fire

The Wall Street Journal published this one week ago.

well at least trans kids arent allowed to play sports with their friends anymore. or at least i dont think they are, if im being honest i havent checked and it never really impacted me in any way so theres really no way for me to know but at least the vibe is there. thank you president trump

id rather have universal healthcare than $8/gallon gas

Well at least there's an art collector in charge of the Navy and a former junior co-host of Fox and Friends Weekend in charge of the Defense Department. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/u...

@katmabu.bsky.social narrowly lost the IL-09 primary last night. But here's a number worth sitting with. Her campaign brought in more first-time Gen Z donors than Jeffries, Schumer, the DSCC, and the DCCC, and her primary opponents combined. This is why campaigns like hers matter.

following updates about the iran war is trump lying about everything and then real war updates side by side

can think of at least 50 artists who, if you gave them each even like 100 thousand dollars, it would absolutely change the culture we live in for the better. 5 million is pocket change in the scheme of things. but we have to live in a world where all of that capital is wasted on bullshit like this.

Harris accused Altman of being the “Goebbels of the Trump administration.” But on Tuesday, Harris said by email: “It was late and I had a few too many martinis so I misspoke when I said Goebbels… I should’ve said Friedrich Flick.”

My newsletter today is about @katmabu.bsky.social's campaign. Democrats keep asking how to reach voters who've given up on the party. Kat Abughazaleh spent a year trying to answer that question. She lost, but the answer is still right. www.readtpa.com/p/what-if-we...

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

the metaverse may have sucked ass and blown dick but at least it gave us this paul murray feature nymag.com/intelligence...

In an economy anywhere grounded in reality, if you spent 80 billion dollars developing something this useless that died within a few years, you’d be financially destitute. And yet

it goes back to reality having a liberal bias and the defensive crouch that forces on people who can't distinguish impartiality from neutrality

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

The right-wing strategy of “distracting people whose lives are becoming worse by getting them excited about making other people’s lives worse”, but actually said out loud in public

the reason we dont have high speed rail or healthcare is so we can stuff money in the pockets of a few guys who were in the right place at the right time a few decades ago so they can do shit like this, this is the innovation we’re getting for funneling money to these people

I'm not even trying to bully this team but they have demonstrated staggering lack of sportsmanship at every leg of this tournament. Aloofness from day one. Antagonism to fellow competitors. Ignorance of standings. Lying about that. Entitlement at the very end. The perfect Ugly Americans.

disturbing reports that donald trumps economic policies are just as goddam disastrous as anyone who knows anything about anything said they would be

I want to be clear that a load bearing pillar of fighting fascism is exactly this

spoiled brats, perfect encapsulation of america in 2026

gonna be thinking about that wbc us team for awhile, there is just no such thing as conservative culture outside of jingoism and misplaced military worship

A first-time candidate who came onto the scene as a young TikTok’er getting over 25% in a crowded primary against other elected officials seems like an objectively strong electoral performance, whatever your thoughts on the candidate might be. She did something right with voters:

just so proud of kat and the campaign she ran. the images of her standing up to ice goons and being assaulted outside broadview is so inspiring and going to be something i remember forever she has set a new bar for what we should expect from our politicians and candidates

Kat Abughazaleh used her campaign to try a lot of things that the party should been embracing a long time ago. The entire left coalition is better off because she ran.

kat's one year of campaigning has arguably moved democratic politics forward more than the average elected democrat has while in congress

thinking about the hero of this game for Team Venezuela, Eugenio Suárez, and his comments about ICE’s effect on Latino baseball players just last week

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.

i read the article, you could get the same surveillance with a network of $19.99 security cameras
