A Democrat cannot learn how to win a category of voters who are rightwing cultists. Efforts will fail unless the Democrat stops being a Democrat or the voters stop being rightwing cultists. Referring to those voters as just rural minimizes the problem and suggests a solution that’s illusory at best.

Blocking this garbage now

Pete Hegseth responded to all this with the smirking, adolescent sadism of a schoolyard bully pulling the legs off of a spider. Now juxtapose this with the horror experienced by a source who saw the imagery of the men being blown apart in the water: newrepublic.com/article/2037...

Waluigi Coates, the mischievous villain and exaggerated mirror version of Ta-Nehisi Coates.

People who think that the Epstein Files are gonna bring Trump down need to be reminded that Trump was elected in 2016 just a week or so after the Access Hollywood tape was released.

Keep positing that reply meme! It never gets old!

At first, I was disgusted that the Senate Centrists caved. But as matters have developed, I am now livid.

Maggie Hassan (Senate Democrat, New Hampshire) is one of the traitorous eight. She is potentially up for reelection in 2028. May she have a competent and progressive primary challenger if she runs again.

Jeanne Shaheen (Senate Democrat, New Hampshire) is one of the traitorous eight. Senator Shaheen is 78 years old, and she is retiring. May she retire in infamy and shame. Her seat will be open in 2026.

Tim Kaine (Senate Democrat, Virginia), one of the traitorous eight, is not up for reelection again until 2030. So, he thinks he’s insulated. But, we will not forget.

Here are the 8 Democratic senators who just voted to move forward with an agreement to end the shutdown: Catherine Cortez Masto Dick Durbin John Fetterman Maggie Hassan Tim Kaine Angus King (I) Jacky Rosen Jeanne Shaheen

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

What you mean is that you try to be a good person. I assume that you actually are a good person. Being a Christian requires no such effort. Being a Christian requires only that you profess to believe that Jesus is your divine savior. Period. That’s it. No more is required to be a Christian.

Fascists do not understand how humor works. They probably really believe that abusing power and laughing about it might be “satire.“ They probably think that since they were laughing about the abuse, it must be some form of humor, maybe “satire” or something.

Donald Trump took a virtual shit on 7 million No Kings protestors yesterday.

I protested the president yesterday, and the president dumped diarrhea on me from his diarrhea airplane.

I took a picture of this guy at the No Kings Protest in Chattanooga. See the reply below …

Huge rallies today in so many places brought hope, and even some tears to me. It was only necessary because of the tyranny, lies, and destruction. But why was any of the tyranny, lies, and destruction necessary? Where was all this energy on Election Day 2024? When will we ever learn? And, why?

Should I block this account or not?

No Kings

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts bsky.app/profile/did:...

No Kings

Sometimes I have nightmares about how horrible the world is. I wake up and I scroll through the news to see how horrible the world is. Then I feel horrible and I go back to bed and have nightmares about how horrible the world is.

When that AI bubble pops, Oh the shit gon’ hit the fan I said, when that AI bubble explo-wo-wodes So much shit gon’ hit the fan

The 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution were expressly crafted to grant Black people equal rights as citizens in a democratic society The Supreme Court is preparing to use those very Amendments to deny those rights instead ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/louis...

We must all stand up and speak out.

We could’ve had this in March. Schumer could’ve extracted real concessions rather than giving Trump everything he wanted while rubber stamping fascism. But he gave it all away for nothing.

Frankly I think it's good that Senate Democrats for once refused to play ball with nihilist fascists who want the country to burn. I'd much rather see them go on offense and make an affirmative case for their partial role in the shutdown than hide and hope voters blame the other side.

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

In 2021, James Comey said Donald Trump should not be prosecuted after leaving office. He said the next attorney general must ‘foster trust.’

It’s sad that a tyrant was given the federal executive power to abuse in the U.S. There are a lot of people who are responsible for letting it happen. There are too many of them to list. I wouldn’t know where to begin.

This is the most aggravating and pathetic way to lead a minority party. I am so sick of Chuck Schumer. I want him out. Where is his primary opponent?

Bombshell ‘Wall Street Journal’ Investigation Finds Tyler Robinson Once Had Trans Uber Driver

A strong possibility is that this shooter, like other similarly motivated mass shooters, is a nihilistic accelerationist. They explicitly coach each other to leave cryptic, conflicting political messages behind. The goal is to get both sides pointing fingers, to raise tensions all around.

I bought an old Sony STR-6120. They say John Lennon owned one of these in New York. I’m checking it out before I hook it up to anything, but it looks good so far. Here’s the insides from the top, bottom, and front.

The Free Press has devoted the last 2 days to Charlie Kirk hagiography. Soon the same editorial sensibility could be shaping CBS News.

MAGA chuds are all over Bluesky, trying to provoke people into replying with comments they can use to attack the site. It’s important to refuse to engage with these bad faith trolls. Don’t give them what they want. Block them and move on.

Here are some tweets from Charlie Kirk over just the last few days. They are an impressive mix of hatred towards: Blacks, immigrants, women, immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQ, academics.

My 19-year-old son just showed me the video. It is horrific. I do not recommend it.

They'll turn him into a martyr to justify their repression.

Charlie Kirk, just another fascism loving asshole.

Cuomo is now threatening to sic his champion Trump on New York City if it elects Mamdani.

I heard someone say this, and I agree: The lesson from the Holocaust was not just “never again.” And it wasn’t just “never again to us.” It was “never again to anyone.“
