the endpoint of the scheme Peters was a part of and attempting to execute is to end the United States Constitution, abrogate any of the freedoms Americans enjoy and then ultimately enslave us. This is in some ways *worse* than treason as defined as assisting a foreign enemy.

Oh my god, this is unbelievable: the striking LIRR worker complaining that Hochul “has money for everything except our salaries” LITERALLY MADE MORE MONEY THAN HOCHUL DID LAST YEAR

The reason they had to threaten people's jobs over posting Charlie Kirk quotes verbatim is because most Americans, including many Trump voters, would recoil in horror if they ever got an uncensored view of what TPUSA is promoting.

I find it very strange that we unequivocally equate "nonviolent" with "less harmful." Attempting to overthrow the democratically elected government is a hell of a lot more harmful than many--perhaps nearly all--violent crimes, and should be punished accordingly.

I dream of a world without cars. Barring that, I’ll take just getting them out of the cities.

Tlaib is introducing a War Powers Resolution to prohibit US military activities or support for Israeli military activities in Lebanon (where Israel has displaced over 1,000,000 civilians and systematically ethnically cleansed entire villages in the south) and Gottheimer decides to lie and say this:

yes. the clearest path to deal with the SCVA ruling is just to say that it wasn’t a constitutionally valid exercise of judicial review. because it wasn’t!

They actually did it. @mtalirr.bsky.social unions actually went on strike. Ok, @governor.ny.gov. Get to work! Strip away those archaic work rules that double costs, claw back the Cuomo-era giveaways, align everything with @mtametronorth.bsky.social! This is the chance to make things right.

I was ranting tonight about the job that rejected me for using Excel most days but not every day, which was the job requirement. That was over a decade ago, but I don’t think I’ve bought one of their anchovies since.

A surprising amount of what made the USA a functional country was put into place during the very brief period where white southerners didn't have the ability to veto it

Having interacted w some of these Third Wayish folks as they tried to co-opt YIMBYism, I cannot even begin to describe how deranged these ppl are about DSA and how that derangement is totally detached from either electoral outcomes or what a given DSA politician actually supports in terms of policy.

100 percent agree with this. you can have a private company or a public one, but the dual class structure is just a fraud against the public bsky.app/profile/john...

I forget who it was who first said that Bluesky was a retirement home for Millennial posters but they were right and I remain fine with that

this Elon Musk plot to steal your 401(k) money is really going underdiscussed

People’s idea of a “narrow” street is really skewed in this city. It’s a four lane road!

After a year of obsessing over COMMON SENSE I have come to think that Tom Paine’s great insight about media - “Men read by way of revenge” - is a profound framework for understanding our social media environment and how Trump came to power. Tune into Zoom for my talk tonight at 7pm!!! Link below

One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States. Here's the National Archives making this point:

What was a moment in world history where the book burners were the good guys

Oh my god, New York State legislators are trying to ban e-ink price tags, which the grocery workers’ union seems to have convinced them to do based on insane online conspiracy theories about the tags changing depending on who’s looking at them! Why is the NYT sanewashing this?!

Not that it'll change their vote for Valdez, but people who haven't lived here long enough to know how hard Reynoso worked to defeat the corrupt Brooklyn Dem Party machine and how responsive he was to constituents while on the City Council could stand to understand why voters like me back him.

Had a realization after reading this interview with Reynoso: as someone in their 40s who's lived in this district for 20 years, I'm an exception to the rule. It's no wonder I have younger friends who aren't really aware of his record and his role in changing Democratic politics in Brooklyn.

Once again striking how much all these debates are like debates about foreign policy or whatever are exactly like the debates people have inside families with an abusive father

thats why I say the closest analogue is Satanism despite the fact that probably sounds hysterical and hyperbolic — they don't worship him despite his wickedness but precisely because of it.

The "faith" side of "faith vs works" — even the hardcore determinist Calvinist variety — does not say that obviously wicked and evil conduct is sanctioned by God! The thing this actually is like philosophically is Satanism (classic variety, not the lame LaVey libertarian stuff)

THIS IS WHAT RIGHT WING EVANGELICALS ACTUALLY BELIEVE — "personal relationship with Jesus" translates to an unlimited and unqualified indulgence for wickedness, at least if you're a powerful white man who serves their cult.

There is a massive scandal brewing around Trump's pardon of a far-right Honduran authoritarian and convicted drug trafficker in order to reinstall him in power in Honduras, then undermine left leaning governments across Latin America. Seriously, read this: washingtonmonthly.com/2026/05/12/h...

america was straight-up not a democracy between 2011 and 2021.

a lot of people clearly think that the united states should have a "hukou" style system of controlled migration

Hey @pearlmania500.bsky.social if you had a hint of integrity you would: 1. Delete this episode 2. Make a post explaining what went wrong (i.e. you didn't do any research, despite that being the premise of your show, and just repeated something you saw on your TikTok feed) 3. Publicly apologize

I already miss Mexico City and I am still here. I basically always miss Mexico City except for the first two weeks of when I get here.

Kevin Gonzalez has died just hours after reuniting with his parents, NBC Chicago/Telemundo Chicago reports: www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

My obituary is going to say I croaked. I hate “passed away.” I do kinda like “went home.” It implies I just went to Pittsburgh.

I worked on the ballot measure that took down right-to-work in MO. The GOP moved it from November to an off election in a naked attempt to suppress turnout. When we still won by 2/3 a republican lege staffer I knew told me it wasn't the will of the people because it wasn't the general election

Not gonna speak to Concord directly but the idea that developers somehow make Extra Bonus Money for keeping apartments empty is a weirdly common urban myth. High-demand American cities have extremely low vacancy rates and "empty luxury high rises" isn't a meaningful driver of housing scarcity.

She's also wrong on the facts. America didn't "choose developers over people," we made it illegal to build housing in the places people want to live.

“housing is a human right but the problem is developers who build housing” is simply not a coherent message Especially when you consider the fact that Seattle has actually done a decent job at building housing and is relatively affordable as a result compared to other high demand cities

"So what needs to happen now - and it needs to happen now - is that Democrat-led states need to set aside procedure and redraw the maps. New York, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Maryland, and Colorado need to get it done. Do it in 2026 if possible. By 2028 is non-negotiable."

it's not that hard, guys. Think like a robber baron! Almost every railroad did this once if not thrice.

actually, amy coney barrett has written on the subject, and believes that there was no valid adoption of the 14th amendment

I am among the 30 percent of Trump approvers regarding the price of gasoline. every time I drive past the gas station in my solar powered EV I think of these guys and grin ear to fuckin ear

it's hard for me to imagine the depravity of an organization which excuses the mass murder of its own hostages because they thought htey were following orders to commit genocide

the fast food chain white castle is older than italian unification

I’m just like Jesse Singal in that he published a series of articles that helped kickstart the nationwide backlash to trans rights and I’m someone who said we should all steel ourselves to die on the hill of trans rights together, but not leftistly enough

Wtf is this dirty soda nonsense? I’ve been drinking soda with milk my whole life, it’s not new! Laverne from Laverne & Shirley was drinking milk and Pepsi in the 70s!

I love a good road trip, but this is brutally out of touch: a Trump Cabinet member making a documentary about himself while regular families can’t afford road trips anymore, because Trump and his war put gas prices through the roof.

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

the most annoying thing about this line is a dead tie between the fact that the people who did not vote for Harris over Palestine did not decide the election anyway and the fact that those people were mostly not white.
