The “eat the rich except Tom Steyer” crowd is exhausting.

Both the US and Iran have reason to say diplomacy is progressing, whether or not it is (Iran: stall while econ damage mounts; Trump: lie to the American people, jawbone markets). They’re negotiating through media claims, posturing for domestic audiences, and want the other side seen as the problem.

the sudden "nobody has to pay taxes" thing with even fairly progressive dems wreaks of klein/shor/eggy brainworms that has somehow merged with mmt/linux guy brainworms

We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

You got the corrupt Americans in power that you wanted, you bribed them to the hilt, and now it's not working out for you? That's a bummer. Maybe it's better to have competent people who can clear the lowest bar of personal integrity leading the world's premier power. Ah well.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

I'm genuinely not sure how we come back from this level of delusion. I know there's always been loons in political office but I dunno... this feels like something we don't come back from as a society.

As an enlightened BlueSky user, I smirk at the fact-free conspiracy theories that have degraded X and Truth Social. Here's a fascinating post from @Knowledge2026(NoDMs!)🌊☮️❌✊‼️ about how Cole Tomas Allen is an operative hired by Trump to fake an assassination attempt.

Orban says the “results are painful for us but clear.” Trump is probably going to lash out at him for not crying fraud, but I have to say, this is a good thing he’s done in conceding, and it actually shames MAGA and Trump. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Faced with this dilemma you can either just sound like a normie lib, which means you won’t get views and possibly everyone hates you, or you can tell a bunch of lies to get your audience all whipped into a frenzy. And if you pick option A you’ll lose out to someone picking option B.

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.
