Crow: "It's so telling that when members of Congress simply remind service members of the Constitution and their duty to obey the law that he cannot handle that and resorts to threats of violence and execution. That tells you everything you need to know about Trump's respect for the Constitution"

Let This Radicalize You - a book I needed in this moment. I've just started but can't stop thinking about it "When you feel trapped by an oppressive inevitability, you never stop trying to escape, because every jailbreak begins with a decision to reject the inevitable" - @mskellymhayes.bsky.social

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

I dunno if Elon actually knew how bad this would end up looking for conservatives the world over or if this is just another in a long line of baffling stupid decisions, but man am I glad calling out bots is so much easier. Bluesky needs to implement this like, yesterday.

the last 24 hours on X, summed up:

I don't think you should be allowed to argue that [x category of people that I don't belong to] aren't able to win elections for the progressive party. It's decisive until suddenly it isn't. We had a Black President already and he won two terms. Clinton and Harris both only barely lost.

I think its good that brazil punished people that tried to overthrow democracy with jail and i think this should be a thing!

bolsanaro reportedly upset about going to prison because it’s taking him away from his true passion, going to the hospital

Anyone remember that cease fire? "Gaza hospitals running out of supplies as airstrikes continue"

these people basically just take luxury government jets and go to fancy events like make a wish kids while their minions flashbang your elderly neighbors

As awful as Maduro is, it won't do the Venezuelan people any good if the president starts an unpopular and ineffective war on their behalf. It'll just cause chaos and a hemisphere-wide refugee crisis.

Let’s be honest: nothing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin have done in the last 56 years justifies the tremendous cost of bringing them back from the moon. NASA should’ve spared the long-suffering taxpayer and left them up there

Reuters has confirmed that President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and his special envoy Steve Witkoff held a private meeting in Miami with a sanctioned Kremlin proxy to help shape the new "peace plan" for Ukraine. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

I’m continually disappointed by people who say they believe in justice and self determination but blame Ukraine for Putin’s invasion. You know how we leftists condemn the US for starting wars? Putin invading Ukraine is just like that! US & Putin imperialism are both bad! We can condemn both!

OK so wait. Trump talked to Bolsonaro last night and was planning to meet him “in the very near future”? Sounds to me like he was in on the escape plan. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

That Oswald killed Kennedy, acting alone, is comprehensively proven beyond all reasonable a doubt, well beyond most historical facts we'd never question. The conspiracy theories did do a lot of real harm, but belief in them is essentially unfalsifiable. It wasn't a failure of the investigation.

You’re gonna see posts that make you think “I agree on principle but you seem unwell.” That’s the bluesky promise.

The U.S. is the biggest emitter of carbon emissions from AI, making up 45% of the world’s emissions.

We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.

As a historian, I have been torturing myself by watching some of the series that the White House in cooperation with Hillsdale College produced about American Independence (tellingly, they avoid the word "revolution"). There are so many errors that it is hard to know where to begin. But I'll try

The entire Republican power structure shits on the constitution every day. If we’re not ready to bury the GOP as a party forever, we won’t recover. They’re not a legitimate political party. They are a crime syndicate.

It is amazing that the lawyers for Texas tasked with defending Texas' racial gerrymander are essentially throwing both DOJ and the Governor under the bus.

After you help your boss convert a doc to PDF

It’s bullshit that the best workable strategy we’ve got is waiting for a cult leader to die.

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

Even as we talk about a new party for liberals/progressives, I think we should have another for people who are party “INO”s - people who run on a party’s platform to get elected, only to vote against them Every. Single. Time. And I nominate Fetterman as the inaugural member.

help

ah yes, the thing that makes me a “cultured elite” is i am not a big enough rube to believe that trump is some bottom-up populist phenomenon bsky.app/profile/zacs...

trying to imagine face turn trump. "folks we're stopping the biden genocide, it's been very bad, the biden genocide, and netanyahu. he's a nasty man. not a friend of the great, great jewish people, who need our friendship and support now more than ever. we're unionizing the service industry, folks"

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.

it really is such a damning indictment of all the odious fools and apes trump has surrounded himself that 10 minutes with a normal positive dude like mamdani de-aged trump like 10 years

Five hours apart

Stephen Miller going into the white nationalist reading room only to discover Trump has replaced everything with feminist zines

[there's no way he can blame this on democrats. even he's not that good.] Donald Trump is our nation's biggest mark but Dem leadership is so inept and fundamentally unpersuasive that they've lost a charisma contest to Steven Miller for ten years

I’m gonna implore everyone here to take the W if only to experience the feeling again.

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

This might be the single funniest thing that has happened during this incredibly cursed year

the biggest loser today is elise stefanik and to that i say lol. and furthermore, lmao.

I am laughing over here at another flawless Mamdani victory that has left all the MAGA morons spluttering

My most controversial take on this whole meeting, though, is who knew you'd have Trump embrace Mamdani before establishment Democrats. They should be ashamed!

we're living through a "trump has covid" type of day on here

Most surreal part of the Zohran vs Donald Trump meeting was a reporting asking "Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist" and Trump going "I don't mind...it's easier...it's easier than explaining" and Zohran just smiled and said "yes"

Miller as soon as Zohran leaves the WH

donald trump endorsed zohran mamdani before chuck schumer lmao

Turns out charisma goes a long way in politics!

everyone who spent the 90s laboriously and lovingly making mixtapes just dissolved into ancient dust

The Daily Mail is IN HELL

I think this clip is the key to understanding why Trump acted the way he did with Mamdani. His world revolves around TV ratings. "I tell you, the press has eaten this thing up."

it's so funny to watch the far right White House press pool try to bait Trump to say something nasty about Mamdani and every time he's just like "nah this guy rocks"
