Because people want to delineate between the “good” policing they support and the “bad” policing they oppose in that particular moment.

#AIPAC, representing a fascist and sadistic genocide regime, is actively buying #US elections and everyone claiming rigged elections, fighting #gerrymandering, and complaining about Russian or Chinese interference, is fine with that.

Inadvertent self-own admitting Israel only exists because of bloodshed and violence against the original owners.

the best argument against democracy is 5 mins with the median voter, the best argument for democracy is remembering that without it, thats who gets what they want, not you

There is nothing invisible or free about capitalism. Vulture Capitalists openly and wantonly pillaged jobs, workers, and money to leave behind total financial devastation.

1/ We stopped at a chain restaurant yesterday and I got their BBQ chicken special. Of course it wasn’t actually barbecued, just baked chicken with some chemical smoke taste. Still, it was pretty good. It would have been better had it been cooked a little longer —— just a little undercooked for me.

1/ Just a friendly reminder to webmasters (as if they really care?). If I arrive on a web site and immediately get blocked and told I have to turn off the ad blocking software —— I close the link. If I have a bookmark to that web site, I remove it.

1/ I can remember the feeling I had during the Duh-bya years. Just completely turned off and disconnected with all things politics. I have that feeling again now and even more so. I just can’t get over how damned ridiculous our politics have become.

1/ Although I manage to capture a great deal of the current political insanity via social media —— there is still a ton of shit I don’t bother with anymore. There is just so much crazy going on at once it is impossible to keep up with it all.

I’ve received my third (and hopefully FINAL) notice from the #AARP threatening to revoke my benefits. GOOD! Stop bothering me! I’m sorry I ever signed up in the first place. Serial spammers AND junk mailers.

People harass candidates for refusing to "debate" some MAGA nut. There is no way a Mad Hatter would do anything but vomit vile shit all over the place. No point in giving them any platform for bile. They wouldn't abide by any debate rules or decorum.

1/ Our home has most of our lights controlled by #Google Home smart devices. This morning I discovered the phone app that controls all of them had been “updated”. What a mess. Every menu and screen rearranged and moved. Why?

“Home batteries are in the middle of a revolution, large grid-scale batteries have collapsed in price in the last two years, and the quality of them has remarkably improved”. My rooftop solar system now provides 100% of our needs, including our EV. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

doing my civic duty and voting in my state's absolute clown car of a primary. there are eleventy billion candidates on here including such stars as "Livingforgod Andcountry Demott". and here I am voting for a billionaire because that's the best available option. we live in HELL!

its called west wing brain, and it has been one of the most destructive forces in the democratic party for the last 30 years. even for people who have never watched the show, theyre pushing its stupid behaviors.

How come we never have a "Palestinian Genocide" trending or a "Lebanon Genocide" trending or "Israeli's Are War Criminals" trending, but Bluesky is going to do AIPAC's work with the "Platner Scandal" trending. I am so nauseated by the bias on this site.

A concise history of the Johnstown Flood. The filthy rich casually causing the deaths of thousands of working class folks and never having to face any consequences. A story as old as money.

Sometimes I wonder why people think it's okay to voter shame, when the question we should be asking "why didn't you vote?". Maybe the reason they don't because the answer will be uncomfortable. Though, honestly, they'd still talk down on them, from personal experiences with other liberals...

In February, Trump purchased over $1 million in Dell stock. Just weeks ago, Trump told everyone to “go out and buy a Dell.” Its stock price is up over 60% since then. Now, Dell has been awarded a $9.7 BILLION Pentagon contract. See the problem here?

Why does it feel like Kamala Harris died last Nov 2024, only for her to appear for her book tour last year? If she showed up again, I don't think I could support her again. Just saying.

1. If we were still a decent country, we would interrogate everyone who served with ICE/BP and in the IDF. Then charge them accordingly with war crimes and anything else they're guilty of. But it won't happen because Democratic leadership is all owned by Israel and too cowardly to prosecute ICE.

Nope, I’m not voting blue no matter who. I will not be scared into voting against the interest of the many and if yer out there living in privilege & preaching harm reduction, I think you’re too late. Push your reps to do what’s right. Everything is impossible until it isn’t.

It would be more productive and democratic to pressure the DNC to allow direct Ranked Choice Voting instead of the corporate delegate system that has failed us.

It would be more productive and democratic to pressure the DNC to allow direct Ranked Choice Voting instead of the corporate delegate system that has failed us.

no, the courts have said "you can't" and they just do it anyways without any real consequence. you cant tell me they havent done anything in the last 17 months. thats just living in self delusion.

kamala harris stans in 2026 are so funny. your idol is one of the only two people in history to have lost a presidential race to a demented pedophile? well, that specific demented pedophile at least

Gotta love how recipe comments are like: I replaced the sugar with turkey drippings and the flour with dandelions. It said to fold ingredients in gently but I stirred them with a pogo stick and after all that work the recipe tasted like tin cans. Zero stars.

I blame the DNC for screwing us once again. They should never have "virtual" primaried Biden or allowed him to shoehorn her onto the ballot when he bailed.

Another clear centering of Trump’s emotions from a few days ago: the number of headlines and articles that referred to E. Jean Carroll that referred to her as an “enemy” or “adversary” rather than “victim.”

Getting info from A.I. is like reading a novel with an unreliable narrator. You get info but always have to think, "Hmm... I wonder if that's true, or partly true, or sort of based on truth but twisted in some weird way, or just a total unhinged delusion." You need to see what other characters say.

I want a law requiring companies to advertise when they are making their sizes smaller but keeping (or increasing) the price. I'm so tired of opening a bag of chips or unwrapping a Snickers to find 82% of what I paid for. These fuckers are trying to fool us.

Intolerance Discrimination against protected groups. Since when did business become a "protected group"?

How will the Blue No Matter Whos defend this one

Rep. Steve Cohen just made American history. He is the first person in 235 years to file articles of impeachment against a sitting Chief Justice of the United States. Read why John Roberts is finally facing accountability: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/great-news...

Users shift to DuckDuckGo as its no AI search traffic triples after Google's AI overhaul imposing unrequested tools and data ties. This shows corporate dismissal of privacy demands. #AIOverreach

1/ Being obtuse is sort of like cursing yourself for stubbing your toe on the chair that has always been right where it is when you stub your toe. You blame your lying eyes for not seeing what is there because it has been there so long you forget to see it sometimes.

The ignorance of the Climate Change Deniers. How much more death, destruction and suffering will people have to endure by hurricane, tornado, drought and flood before these people get their heads out of their butts?

1/ One of the aggravations of the latest Excel programs is the proliferation of themes, fonts, font sizes, colors, etc. Every time I would cut & paste something there were unwanted changes in appearance and format.

1/ Laws requiring cremation or burial of aborted fetus This has nothing to do with human dignity. This is a direct blow to fetal stem cell research and therapy by requiring tissue to be destroyed rather than donated. Not to mention the added cost to bury or cremate.

Good Cop vs Bad Cop They are all bad cops if they watch murder without intervention.

There is significant backlash to news media victim exploitation. Disaster porn interviews of grieving survivors, cliff hangers, and stay tuned for the rest of the story. I haven't watched television news for years now because it just made me angry. Now the Internet is the same with AI crap.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

In a stunning blow to Ken Paxton, the Houston Chronicle just endorsed Democrat James Talarico for U.S. Senate in Texas. One of the biggest newspapers in the state is making it clear: Texans deserve better than Paxton’s corruption, chaos, and endless scandals. =====================

Facebook Plus? No thanks, I have…

The saddest part is that American has never been a true democracy! It’s run by the rich to help the rich get richer by only allowing the rich to determine the fate of everyone! An easy solution would be for the poor to jointly decide what to not buy and who to not elect & not just follow?

It was the DNC that caused this by not insuring a democratic primary. They ignored the voters and the voters stayed home in return. Blame the root cause, not the victims.

Israel does NOT have the right to exist as an apartheid genocidal state. It’s not antisemitic to say such a thing.

NBC News: Federal prosecutor leading the James Comey indictment over his seashells post resigns from the case.

Btw. The kamala campaign autopsy. They neglected to once mention the mass genocide they were actively perpetrating, which was the thing that had crowds of pissed off dem voters in the streets every time she went anywhere.

The ICE agent charged with shooting a Venezuelan immigrant in north Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge and lying about the circumstances has been arrested in Texas after Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents tracked him there.
