Crazy how the pedophile trying to incite a civil war didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. Sad!

To be fair, they don't say which side they're on

a thing ICE agents should try to keep firmly in mind is that eventually everyone is going to know who is under the masks, and that’s going to be the first line in their obituaries

I bet it'd be easier for Americans to see ICE agents as just regular folks if they weren't, you know, wearing black masks and hiding their names and identities from the public out of shame.

I wonder if the residents of Kennett, Missouri are also upset about law abiding waitresses in LA being deported? Or just their neighbor?

The NBA playoffs are drunk

Alright Rory LFG! #masters

What a boring (but accurate) way to say we're led by fucking idiots: “We worry this risks lowering the policy credibility of the administration on a forward-looking basis,” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

And just like a fake Christian, I'm totally stealing this.

This looks like a casting call for incels willing to trade Social Security data and national secrets for feet pics.

aaaand now it all makes sense

Am I the only one thinking Lebron's getting traded to Phoenix or Golden State in a few days?

Voters have shown over and over again they'll hold the party in power responsible when things don't work. Let's Roberts Rules of Order the fuck out of things.

Trump voters won't turn on him due to racism, sexism, arrests or other moral failings. Even MAGA fully adopting the Nazi salute won't move many. Lost support will come from higher prices, failing local services and human tragedies. Highlight those and cast blame over and over until the dam breaks.

Nothing is more #GenX than making sure I have the right pair of glasses on before turning on my Death Row vs Bad Boy mix for the drive home.

Ball Don't Lie

My biggest hope right now is for Dems to not save the GOP from themselves. For the next two years, please no seeing an immoral policy that GOP owns and taking half-ownership to make it only horrendous. Either Dems fix something to make it a net positive, or let people find out what they voted for.

Gaetz and now Pete struggling to win GOP support is giving me juuuuuust enough optimism that our guardrails are stronger than I feared on Nov 6th. Still hoping Tulsi & Bobby get the boot as well.

Well gang, Looks like we have to fight, and defeat, a compilation of history’s greatest evils all at once. Civil War, WW2, the Cold War, greed, racism, sexism, ignorance, fascism…hell is empty and all the demons are here. Let’s fucking go.

This account is mostly for political conversations and/or angst, but here's my prediction for CFP bracket: 12 Iowa St @ 5 ND...winner plays 4 Boise St 11 Miami @ 6 Georgia...winner plays 3 SMU 10 Indiana @ 7 Penn St...winner plays 2 Texas 9 Tenn @ 8 Ohio St...winner plays 1 Oregon

Happy Thanksgiving Bluesky! Anyone else tired and full this morning?

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

This is my shocked face www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

What's a longer three minutes: waiting for an automated phone call to send you to a representative, or stop and go traffic?

At this point it seems like sexual assault is a prerequisite for serving in the Trump Administration.

President-elect Musk must be having the time of his life right now.

Despite the rhetoric about a mandate or blowout, the difference was less than 250k votes in PA, MI & WI. Dems definitely have things to work on, but we're still an evenly divided country. Honestly this makes me more optimistic a few GOP will think of 2026 and oppose the worst of Trump's impulses.

I find myself wondering a lot about what Congress will do regarding recess appointments, and can't decide if that's because it'll be a pivotal line to cross and set a major precedent breaking the separation of powers, or because I'm doom scrolling too much?

Jericho. The perfect premise and show for the streaming era that launched a decade too soon

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

There's a small chance Gaetz is a sacrificial lamb to take attention away from RFK and Gabbard. No one likes Gaetz - even Ted Cruz might have a shot at homecoming king compared to him - and there's plenty of other lawyers and judges Trump could choose from.

Anyone excited for all the furrowed brows of concern by Republican senators right before they vote Yes on Gaetz, Gabbard, Noem and Pete?

Gaetz for AG?

DEMOCRACY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT

Meant to order pizza with no green peppers but accidently hit extra green peppers. This is the worst thing to happen in America all week.

Anyone else feel reenergized by Xcaping to @bsky.app? This is a time for rest and recovery, but I feel better about whatever's next being here.

Remember in 2004 when W said "I've won political capital and intend to spend it"? Buyers remorse kicked in by spring and his approval ratings fell, with Katrina as the kicker. Best guess: Even Trump won't be immune to falling ratings when he oversteps, especially if we cast him as a lame duck. /1

How obstructionist should Democrats be in 2025? Go along and get along? Block and delay everything? Hold out for one or two massive fights? What advice would you give Jeffries or Schumer?

Introduce yourself with four movies

I should be working on my spec right now, but building our network of Xcapees feels pretty good too.

For my first post, I'd like to throw an idea out there: "Joke's on US" A podcast where guests sharing how MAGA policies affected them. Hosts skilled enough to balance plain English with just enough wonky stuff to show how MAGA uses misinformation to hide what their policies do and avoid blame.

Happy to be here!
