John McCain’s only substantial act of resistance against Trump, sinking his Obamacare repeal, was only done because McCain’s ego was hurt by Trump mocking him for getting captured by the people the U.S. was killing and invading for no reason. He is probably chanting “Bomb Iran” in hell right now.

Elon Musk’s obsession with using his immense wealth to astroturf race riots and democratic backsliding showcases why neoliberalism will inevitably lead to fascism in the end, unregulated trillions in the hands of anyone is as societally destructive as a nuke.

Apparently they are allowed to break the rules if they already burned enough taxpayer money for it

Maine had Mills on the Dem primary ballot. She lost by over 110,000 votes. The people spoke.

It’s funny how the DNC-approved campaign rhetoric (rightfully) says “don’t vote Republican, they want to destroy democracy”, then when these people are elected into office they play dress-up and have fun with these “threats to democracy”. I feel bad for Minnesota, this is your next Governor.

Janet Mills dropped out of her own volition, as did Biden. Jasmine Crockett lost a fair and square election. Democratic voters clearly don’t want more useless milquetoast moderates, even at the cost of flipping the senate.

Usually we don’t need peace agreements with countries we have defeated *checks notes* over 15 times since March

Francesca Hong is the only Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate I trust won’t govern in lockstep with Republicans like Tony Evers has been doing lately. Plus, all the other candidates are open to AI data centers spawning across our state. We shouldn’t strive for mediocrity to appeal to Republicans.

Kyle Rittenhouse was also a “child”, that doesn’t mean someone should get a slap on the wrist for murder. I wish justice was more equally applied, but we shouldn’t treat this like it’s a case of judicial misconduct because it isn’t, he stabbed a fellow child to death in front of multiple witnesses.

I think this whole situation, above all else, has exposed that government coverups can be as simple and stupid as continually saying “Nuh Uh” when legally obligated to disclose unredacted files while facing no accountability from courts. You can’t have transparency when every system is compromised.

It always feels kinda weird to celebrate victories against fascism when fascism is actively on the rise in our time, at this point some other country might eventually have a D-Day moment at our shores.

Apparently, this is controversial, but yeah you can’t bring a knife on school property and then stab someone in the chest, even if they shove you. There are much better cases to highlight unfairness or double standards.

We are already sliding down the “slippery slope” that was created when people like Susan Collins let Trump pack the court with his goons during his first term. Any Democrat who opposes packing the court at this point is fundamentally weak and has no place in our movement.

It’s no surprise that a supporter of Israel’s genocide would try to frame the victim as the perpetrator in this case aswell. Thanks for showing yet again why Texas made such a good choice voting for James Talarico.

These pieces of shit have been normalized by resist libs and lots of independent meidias and they can all shut the fuck up and go sit in a corner while the grownups fix things.

Here is more *wonderful* stuff that Joe Walsh has done and said in the past

We are really letting an ex-MAGA congressman, who got tricked by Sascha Baron Cohen into making a PSA about giving guns to schoolchildren, lecture us about how Platner is “the devil”. It’s no coincidence that all the right-wing grifters oppose Platner, and it’s good that Maine voters ignored them.

Hillary’s die-hard supporters still can’t accept that they made the wrong choice, and blame Bernie for her predictably bad performance against Trump. I am glad voters of Maine knew better than to listen to the elderly neoliberal contingent of the party, and the Senate will be better for it.

Maybe we should start nominating more candidates who have a “cult” following, because usually those are the candidates that voters actually like. There are some other half-decent alternatives in the Democratic primary, but none of them have the name recognition or appeal to beat Susan Collins.

@reptedlieu.bsky.social Please, give a statement, accepting $ ,that to support a Genocide of the Palestinian people, is wrong. Israel, has breached any agreements....because when Isreal was established, no one in their Right Mind, would ever have believed that the Jews( Zionists)= a Genocide!

It’s because Tel Aviv Ted isn’t on the side of Democrats, or the United States in general. We need to accept that these Democrats will do anything to prevent progressives from winning, because their pocketbooks rely on preserving Israeli domination of U.S. Politics.

OK, so David Costello has a fine resume. What happens when a Republican operative levels accusations agst him? Will "Believe the women" still be the rule, & will skepticism based on her likely political motive be heresy? Or will that only happen if they think he'll beat Collins in the general?

Yeah, I definitely trust the current Israeli-occupied U.S. Government to tell me who is “Hamas” and who isn’t. “Hamas” is whoever Israel needs to blow up at any given moment, and pretending like it’s an actual threat is counterproductive to stopping genocide.

If the one person who’s job it is to advocate for you chooses to endorse your political opponent, that speaks volumes

Ever since 2016, Conservadems have attacked Bernie Sanders for standing up for progressive causes, and slandered him as a misogynist without evidence. Now they are begging us to stop supporting Platner and are smearing him every way possible, but we know better now. The Zionists That Cried Wolf.

Who would’ve thought that the website that allows users to bet on wars and mass shootings was run by morally repugnant people?

Republicans need elderly voters to keep them from totally self-destructing in the midterms, but after that they have outlived their usefulness as far as the GOP is concerned. Boomers who voted for Trump, have fun!

Comparing Platner to Joe McCarthy is insane, if anything the anti-progressive witch hunt against Platner and those who have endorsed him resembles McCarthyism far more than anything he has ever done so far

Right-wingers will go apeshit over the shadiest and most dispicable public figures if they parrot the right taking points, that’s why the current symbol of their party is a washed-up reality tv star who was held liable for sexual assault.

Well, I am sure the people of Maine will take this criticism to heart and let Susan Collins win because Bluesky users felt nervous about an old tattoo

Has any nation in the history of the world held such a massive national victim complex while at the same time invading and genociding their way through neighboring countries? Israel is a trust fund nation with unearned confidence, and your tax dollars are the trust fund.

It’s always funny how AI bros think that their prompt-generated content is genuinely indistinguishable from something an actual human created. Media written by AI is gonna be put into the “slop” category by default, as it inherently has less value than something a thinking human created.

US turning Philippines into 'Ukraine of Southeast Asia' The US is deliberately transforming the Philippines into a forward battlefield against China, following the same playbook used in Ukraine.

Platner’s accuser is an Islamophobic Pro-Genocide Project 2025 operative who has publicly disparaged Palestinian culture, and you can’t fathom why high-profile muslim progressives would be hesitant to believe her (completely baseless) accusations without question?

We have genuinely gotten to the point where Graham Platner is literally being compared to Jeffery Epstein. This is why we need to ignore the panicans who are falling for every right-wing smear campaign against Platner, they will take any opportunity to disparage and defame progressive candidates.

The people that call Platner “the next Fetterman” make no sense. Platner has been one of the few candidates in Maine willing to stand up to Israel, which Fetterman has enthusiastically supported his entire career. They accuse him of that because they are all mini-Fettermans themselves.

The Platner accuser that actually had much to say to the NYT is a literal Project 2025 operative. This is a lot like all the idiocy that Mamdani endured last and Bernie in ‘16. They are targeted for being progressive. Mills busts unions and vetoes min wage for farm workers. Platner is a farmer.

Graham Platner’s “accuser” is a longtime Republican operative who has a long history of supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The New York Times propped up this story because they, like the GOP and Mossad, are trying to throw everything against Platner and are upset that nothing is sticking.

I like how everyone is concerned about the optics of the “anti-Israel movement” when the other side has literally been committing a large-scale genocide since 2023, we have the luxury to care about scary tattoos and old social media posts because we aren't the ones having Israeli bombs dropped on us

one of the funnier bits this kind of Democrat does is this strange jester-dance acting like it's some form of discrimination for not wanting to be ruled by a council of Crypt Keepers that didn't know what the internet was until 2008

“The progressive movement has completely destroyed itself” Is that why progressives keep winning primaries and topping polls nationwide? I think these people would disagree that our movement is “destroyed”.

Why are you acting like the demographic that holds all the wealth & power is oppressed? Boomers have been in power since the 90s, and if you look at the state of our country since then you can see why young voters feel dissolutioned. “Elders” are getting all the respect they earned in life.

He is saying this like he didn't help prop up Joe Biden in 2024, who was constantly struggling to speak basic sentences and mumbling about “beating medicare” on the debate stage. This isn't “ageism”, it's common sense, we need leaders who have a full capacity to be leaders.

Yeah, it's almost like voters approve of working-class progressive candidates over geriatric uncharismatic establishment plants that support sending your money to Israel, who would've thought?

Joe Biden was supporting & funding a genocide, and Kamala Harris was complicit in it. However, I voted blue because it was necessary in 2024. Now we are being told that simply having a old tattoo is enough reason to let Susan Collins win. These are bad faith attacks, and we should ignore them.
