If you don’t vote, you are voting for fascism. That’s it. You’re not deciding which brand of mustard you prefer

I hope he realizes how much we hate him. He doesn't, of course, because that would require some level of self-awareness, but I still hope.

Note for a future president: no, it is not the right thing to do or proper & certainly not basic decency to give him a state funeral. Look instead to the ancient Romans who tossed the corpses of their traitors and tyrants straight into the Tiber

Flatulent racist pedophile shares racist video because he’s a racist and his followers are racist

Oh good, now Famine. I was afraid we had missed a horseman somehow

This wouldn't be happening if Mitch McConnell were alive

Charles Manson.

I agree. Dare Thune to blow up the filibuster.

The reason we can't have nice things in this country is we let a handful of billionaire perverts convince us that they have all the power when in reality the opposite is true. In Eastern Europe & the former USSR: ordinary ppl overthrew much worse totalitarian govts. We can defeat these creeps.

Republicans had no clue Democrats would fight back against their gerrymandering scam. It's taken them completely off guard. Glorious to see.

Just boosting this again since the Purity Caucus won't.

Bluesky is that special place where someone will take time out from serialposting about how ICE can never defeat one mid sized midwesern city to post about how ICE is going to commandeer every voting booth in the US and all is lost

"You kill one of ours, we kill one of yours"

But it’s not even taco Tuesday

I understand folks are scared but I want you to think about the mechanics of this. There are more polling places (>100k) than ICE and CBP agents combined, so they can only pick a few districts to try to intimidate. Now what happens when cell phone footage of that goes online in the early morning?

Never forget, there are more of us than there are of them.

Wow. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The fact that there was even the slightest doubt about this indicates just how irreparably the 1789 constitution has been broken

In case you were wondering, it remains highly controversial to suggest that voters have agency

Congressional Democrats are holding a shadow hearing on ICE abuses. I mention that since none of the Purity Caucus will.

Man, it must be weird to live in a country where rich assholes can't just flout the law with impunity

In any other timeline, this would be just routine standard stuff but in this hellscape we have to wonder whether or when President Caligula will pardon him

Republicans hate children

Not entirely sure how body cams solve this.

One of the most depressing things about the Trump Era is how easily it could’ve been avoided. No need for an uprising or protests or marches. All people had to do was vote. That’s it. But in 2016 & even more unforgivably in 2024 folks just couldn’t be bothered. I can’t fathom that.

Kurt Vonnegut, “Slaughterhouse Five”

Citizens United working as intended. America needs a new constitution.

That's...a pleasant surprise. Have to admit I didn't see rural whites turning on him.

More like Jean-Bedel Bokassa, Ferdinand Marcos, Caligula

And when you read that no Democrat has won that seat in 30 years bear in mind that it doesn't even slightly resemble the district that Chet Edwards won (it included Waco, for example)

Man, it's almost like they were always a gang of bootlicking authoritarian fanboys

EXCLUSIVE: leaked image from the redesigned Kennedy Center, as planned for the re-opening in 2028.

I hate this timeline

I guess this didn't make it into the documentary.

NACAB

I reiterate: Epstein is a test. How much are we as a society willing to allow the oligarchs to get away with?

"As first lady, children will always remain my priority,” she coos, and you can almost picture her coaxing them into her little gingerbread house." www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ja...

A little louder for the "Democrats are caving!" people in the cheap seats

A lot of people on this app who REALLY ought to know better seem to think Republican senators love the filibuster more than they fear Trump.

Visitors to Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) are behaving badly including frightening the children and raising an American flag, according to Orla Joelsen on X.

Slovenia also has a social democratic government

So far I see half the Purity Caucus on here screaming that the Democrats aren’t doing enough & the other half screaming that Trump won’t follow any agreement. Make up your goddam minds

If you don't recognize this as a significant victory by Schumer and the Democratic Caucus I can't take you seriously

Serious question: who was the last progressive to defeat a Republican in a remotely competitive district? I used to say Katie Porter but evidently she's not progressive enough for them anymore

Yes, I mean clearly the real enemy here is the Democrats...

All of you calling for Schumer's head on a pike, who's your pick for minority leader? Just being more aggressive and further to the Left does NOT translate into holding the caucus together. This is a tiny club full of prima donnas; tell me who you think can herd these cats.

The online-ification of politics is producing enormous tension here. Elected officials have become accustomed to tweeting or holding a press conference and having words accepted as reality, and in this instance people are noticing that the actual reality on the ground does not match it at all.

notice how after ilhan omar was attacked by a maga true believer parroting donald trump, the mainstream media didnt kick off a multi-day orgy about how trump and other republicans need to change their tone and "lower the temperature"? that discourse only goes one way for the msm.
