The Gang Builds a Police State

Failed left-wing @mayorofchicago.bsky.social Brandon Johnson is at it again

The "Lactus" in "Galactus" comes from the same root as lactose as in lactose intolerant

Finally people are paying proper attention to the classic Stephen Baxter alternate history / sci-fi novel Anti-Ice

If you're wondering what's going on in Argentina, Milei did the same move right-wing Argentine leaders always do of borrowing a ton of money and using it to buy pesos to subsidize imports and capital flight, which rich Argentines enjoyed until the borrowed money ran out.

October 7th and the Charlie Kirk assassination have a lot in common in terms of creating an immediate enormous wave of sympathy that was immediately squandered by the over the top reaction

Tell @governor.ny.gov Hochul that you want Jay Jacobs out and replaced by someone who wants Democrats to win more than they want to crush the left

I have gotten to the "Bloody" Mary Tudor part of the @historyengland.bsky.social podcast and the Trump comparisons are off the chart. Can't wait for the Elizabethan restoration of woke

@smbccomics.bsky.social this guy never heard of a horse www.smbc-comics.com/comic/sheep-2

Answer: yes bsky.app/profile/pete...

Predictable based on nothing but knowing which right wing streamer had beef with Kirk

The mass shooter party is eating itself

Statement from Robinson regarding the Kirk shooting

So it turns out criticism of Charlie Kirk is a firing offense in the corporate media

Beautiful back and forth support between NYC-DSA and the German left

Okay just to make sure, the reason it was inappropriate to celebrate Kirk's death is because we don't want to encourage political violence, and we are all still going to party if Trump strokes out right?

Important to remember that Kirk was most likely shot by a far-right extremist - both because that's who does almost all political violence and because the most dangerous faction of them were committed to hating him HT @robertdownen.bsky.social

Interesting how every Democrat is responding to the Kirk assassination by praising him and condemning political violence while every Republican is responding by praising him and calling for more political violence

It just hit me that Morrow from Alien Earth is part of Gen Z - left Earth in his mid-40s in 2055 on a 65 year trip to come back to the events of the show in 2120

@governor.ny.gov New York needs this right now

Dear President Donald J Trump please bring back the cigarettes in old movies and the black face episodes of Always Sunny and Community we are deprived of access to these things because of woke thank you for your attention to this matter

I come not to praise Trump but to bury him

The Onion : What is your biggest political weakness? Cuomo: Name recognition.

Reddit is a great source of information but it's important to see the context of what's being said rather than having the content of random posts regurgitated as if they were something other than some guy on the internet spitballing

Literally too many new Adams administration scandals to list

A new book "Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York [about Prince Andrew] quotes Jeffrey Epstein saying that he had sex with Melania Trump a full year before Donald Trump started his relationship with her. After threats from Melania, the publisher removed this from the audiobook and e-book.

Yikes I always thought the intensely made up and plastic surgeried into a parody of femininity thing Mar a Lago women have going on was gross but it's really sick to think about it as a dominance ritual by Trump

It's funny how usually sending in the military to keep cities under control is a dramatic and unpopular move by a regime that's only doing it because it's at risk of collapse, while Trump is just doing it for no reason because he wants to cosplay as an authoritarian

Isn't Trump a CONVICTED rapist not just accused?

RFK would rather fund the shooter than the CDC

The only difference between Trump and Bob Roberts was that Bob Roberts was a businessman cosplaying as an entertainer for votes while Trump is an entertainer cosplaying as a businessman for votes

Trump strangled Epstein to death with his own hands

The dream is that the Epstein stuff is the beginning of low-trust Americans going back to their natural state of political disengagement rather than this weird ride we've been on lately where they're living vicariously through Trump as he kicks the shit out of every institution they're suspicious of

"These are deeply troubling signs"

When will the Lion King series end the coverup and show a lion killing and eating a talking animal?

Breaking news:

Has the WSJ really only released a description of this birthday card Trump sent Epstein and not a picture of it? What is that about?

The excuses that conservatives are making to claim that Trump couldn't have written that note to Epstein are hysterical - he doesn't know the word enigma! He has never drawn anything in his whole life! And then because Trump has been a public figure for so long they're instantly debunked

It's wild how the official Republican stance is that Joe Biden was president for Trump's first term

If you support Mamdani you should definitely vote for Delgado over Hochul

Amazing how much "controversial mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani" we got when he is easily the most liked and least disliked candidate in the race

NYC mayor poll by Data for Progress, conducted July 1-6 with a margin of error of 4 points: www.filesforprogress.org/datasets/202... (h/t @ndhapple.bsky.social) Zohran Mamdani (D) - 40% Andrew Cuomo (I) - 24% Eric Adams (I) - 15% Curtis Sliwa (R) - 14% Jim Walden (I) - 1%

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social won a historic mandate to make #NYC a city that puts families first. We are organizing to deliver that agenda: universal childcare, fully-funded public schools, and safe streets for our kids. Parents, your political home is here. Join us: socialists.nyc/cwk

I need to check the perimeter

There are some resonances between how tech companies talk up the AI Apocalypse as a way to market LLMs and how the Trump admin talks up their dictatorial ambitions as a way to scare people into compliance

@socialists.nyc powered @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 's victory. Now, we’re organizing for universal childcare, fully funded public schools, and safe streets for our kids. Join us for a mass call to connect with other parents and get involved in building a city that puts families first.

The difference between the smear campaigns accusing Corbyn and Mamdani of antisemitism is the difference between hyper-Zionist Jewish institutions and pretty reasonable Jewish people, with the US having a large enough Jewish population to speak up and outweigh the institutions and the UK not

I don't really see the point of blocklists - if someone annoying is popping up in my feed enough to bother me I can block them individually
