“The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 of the first Trump administration, now made permanent by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 under the second, was the single largest upward redistribution of wealth in modern American history.” www.liberalcurrents.com/yes-we-can-j...

On Stallman's soul we are ALL using GNU HURD in 2027

If BlueSky isn't a bubble, why is nobody on my timeline talking about the new Olivia Rodrigo album?

nelson mandela is a hero of liberal democracy, the international proletariat, and the global south

Pierre Trudeau is a lot like Bill Clinton, where he broke conservative brains permanently by being a suave head of government from a left-wing party with the implication of social conservatism (particularly sexual liberation), but he was economically quite right wing (at least initially).

Accidentally messaged the subaltern periphery group chat "may your new year be full of imperial superprofits" and the metropole labor aristocrat group chat "may Babylon finally fall this year," so 2025 is starting off great 😒

Accidentally invited JD Vance to my BlueSky chat. He immediately started asking us if we were still in school, if we needed help with our homework, and when our parents wouldn't be around. When we told him we were all adults he left at once and then posted on Twitter complaining about leftists.

NEW: Our visual analysis suggests the U.S. hit two drinking-water facilities overnight in southern Iran with precision-guided munitions. Deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure could constitute a war crime. w/ @ckoettl.bsky.social @johnismay.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/w...

"My Republican buddy is cancelling his voter registration" and you stopped him???

America should not be sending weapons to Israel because it hurts Palestinians. Not you. Palestinians. This is a vital and not minute distinction

"Well, at least the California primary is over and we can all get on with our lives." Katie Porter's staff right now:

For Steyer so loved California, that he gave up his only begotten gubernatorial campaign, and whosoever voteth downballot for progressives shall not perish, but have eternal Nithya Raman runoff.

The Prequel Trilogy was about an evil villain who is elected to power and then usurps it to make an empire (Napoleon III) and the Original Trilogy is about the brave hero who overthrew him to create a new republic (Bismarck).

This can't be right, Barak Ravid told me that Donald Trump epicly dunked on Netanyahu and that a ceasefire will be around any minute.

"Man, I sure do love living in a fair and just society!" You wake up suddenly. You are not online. It is the years 2024-present, and you are a voter in a non-Mexican country in the Americas with a presidential system. You know what you must do. You must vote for Hitler.

Americans when they have to elect Hitler because they're bored

"God, I wish we had a President like Eisenhower. He was a liberal Republican who supported desegregation and warned us about the military industrial complex—" Silently, the silver dollar comes out of my pocket. Opening it to reveal the hidden needle of shellfish toxin, I push it deep into my thumb.

"Welcome to Mohawk and Hudson Railroad Takes, what's your take?" "The degraded Black Irish swarming into our fair cities of New York and Brooklyn from their wretched Papish isle to take jobs and apartments from the Anglo-Saxons who grew up here shall never be real New Yorkers." "100% agree"

I am still haunted by this.

"Omg did you see what the latest Platner scandal is? Like he was sexting the whole ti—" You bolt awake in Washington DC. You are not online. It is 1842 AD. You are Alexander Baring, 1st Baron Ashburton, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Canada must annex Northern Maine

Thinking about the fact that Bono, in going to Rogan and trying to explain to him how many people were going to die because of the cuts, did more to try to bring awareness to the end of USAID than Bush, Obama, or Biden.

I should get really into a niche sport so I can post "OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING" on BlueSky with no context and freak people out.

Wang Hongwen went from an ordinary factory worker to Mao's likely successor in less than eight years. How did he do this? Through handshakes.

"It's my duty"

Henry Clay basically calls Pennsylvania Democratic Senator James Buchanan—whose stocky physique, cross-eyed gaze, high-pitched voice, and general dullness made him a favorite target of Clay's most vicious attacks—an incel on the floor of the Senate.

Steyer has the only ensouled Democratic campaign logo btw

The California Vote Counter liked your post The California Vote Counter followed you The California Vote Counter DMed you: you wanna hang out? I don't have any work to do

Also the USN blockading Cuba with the intent to instantiate a famine is a black letter all caps war crime

The CIA captured the Judeo-Christian God in a special operation in 1971 and trained him to play chess before eventually giving him to an Afghan mujahideen battalion under Operation Cyclone, who used him to shoot down Soviet helicopters until he was tragically KIA.

Katie Porter has announced she’ll start killing hostages (her staff) if “they don’t stop all the voter fraud”

Hi, it's Tom Steyer here. Just wanted to let you know if you feel like closing that results tab you're obsessively refreshing and going to bed, I will lose the election and the cat will be killed under S.B. 1935 (also known as "Schrödinger's Law"). So for God's sake, keep refreshing!

My name is P.T. Jungle, inventor of the Jungle Primary. A little bit of info about me, I hate everything and everyone, I love death, and I worship hell. I hope you are thoroughly enjoying tonight's performance, and buckle up; Act II is going to be even better!

They don't want me to tell you this, but they also check the IP addresses of people who refresh a lot, cross-reference them with the ballots they're counting, and add a few extra for the candidates the real reloaders voted for.

(Playing cards in hell) Ramsey Clark: if you invite Begin next week, I can’t invite Saddam. Paul O’Dwyer: who cares, he always cheats. Tom Hayden: why was I so cruel to Jane Fonda… I should have treated her better… Gavin Newsom: cash me out, I gotta go to California for work in the morning.

Former President of the University of California Clark Kerr gets pied. The image is even funnier than you could imagine.

- Steyer in third with 6% of the votes in and nothing from Los Angeles or San Francisco counties counted yet It's over, time to give in to despair unconditionally

Guy who mourns the victory of the reactionary European monarchs over Napoleon on June 18, then celebrates General Order No. 3 freeing the last slaves in Texas on June 19th like Tisha B’Av before Tu B'Av or Ash Friday before Easter Sunday.

In the darkest night for American liberalism, Tom Steyer went against his class interests, his generation and his era to work for the Mondale 1984 campaign. Absolute lion, I don't care what anyone else says, he's a real one

(Going to vote and seeing my local candidates on the ballot) wtf none of these guys were on the BlueSky discourse

Barak HUSSEIN Ravid

Listening to ABBA's Waterloo and shaking my head the whole time so people know I don't support the mounted Robespierre being hurled from his saddle.

Hey did we decide on the final answer to corporations at pride discourse last year or do we need to start it up all over again

tbh I could be the friend that's too woke but I really can't square how we're having fun with the "epstein class" stuff but are also going to see a Michael Jackson hagiography en masse

UK Greens vs the Financial Times is left-wing infighting

Got an ad for Tinder's Astrology mode and I think we probably should have done a little more militant atheism and skepticism in the 2000s.

The UC Berkeley IGS poll is out! Becerra 25 Hilton 21 Steyer 19 Californians: it is your patriotic duty to vote for Steyer to give us a Becerra/Steyer matchup so we can depress Republican turnout for every congressional and down ballot race in the state. www.latimes.com/california/s...
