1. Trump certainly wants to fully rig elections. 2. He has no actual plausible plan to do so. 3. We should absolutely take the threat very seriously and actively do what's possible to protect elections and democracy. 4. What's actually likely is success or failure at the margins; every bit counts.

While Wolf’s post is extremely fucking stupid (frozen means are fast and cheap, that’s why people eat them) her disclaimer is totally inappropriate bc this is basically Chicken Soup for the Soul compared to her Covid posting.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Of all the things in the history of the world that definitely did not happen - this is the pinnacle.

This dude looks like Daniel Stern in Home Alone after the iron hits him in the face, only (much) dumber.

do you all have a moment to discuss the Good News of seitan

If nothing happens, Democrats didn't message enough; if something happens, Democrats didn't message enough

I strongly support the new position of the US Government that the District of Columbia can bar possession of firearms, which contradicts the Supreme Court’s mistaken 2008 ruling establishing that individuals have an absolute 2nd Amendment right to own firearms. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distric...

Now is probably a good time to remind folks that Elon Musk deleted this recent tweet of his about an 18 year old girl

Too bad for them that the next dem prez can unlock those papers as an official act.

Yes, it is imperative that the next Democratic Congress shutdown this paramilitary organization which has shown no respect for the Constitution or basic human dignity, but that's not on the table right now. The right play is to sever DHS funding from the rest of the gov, and trade it for policy wins

Chotiner shot that man right in the face with his own gun and he never heard the *click*.

Why did they dress up as the redacted Epstein files?

The simplest translation of this horseshit is “I’d rather die than live in a society that treats immigrants humanely”.

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

He’s just describing The American Dream but you’re supposed to hate it for some reason

Two days ago, the president used his social media platform to endorse this "phenomenal candidate" and to urge "all America First Patriots" in the district to get out and vote for her. Today, he says he doesn't know anything about it and had nothing to do with it. He's lying or demented or both.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

yeah and they're going to keep doing it because they won control of the state. like the only thing to be happy about now is the prospect that we will win at some point in the future.

“Schumer should have told Trump to kill more immigrants and observers, bc this would have been bad advice and who cares whether people in the US live or die, I am very savvy (and also not in the US).”

Paramount, Amazon in bidding war for Melania sequel.

there's just no fucking reason at all that noem or homan or bovino (rip bozo) or rubio or hegseth or anyone else should take orders from stephen miller, miller shouldn't have that authority, and the only reason he has it is because they're all fucking cowards who let him do it

straight up Gestapo shit

Hate to be a broken record but these guys are absolutely in full on conspiracy mode about Israel and the Epstein files. Hasan has 3 million followers. Not fringe.

Peter “Spiders” Attia is an outlier and should not be counted

Translated "it's fine if they're slaves or indentured servants"

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis. If not, why not?

Seattle Seahawks; America's Team

like, Will Stancil's an attorney, he knows that following ICE around is legal and permitted a bunch of people who are doing it likely don't understand that it is legal and see it as a criminal, but moral, action there's inevitably going to be some crossover there

Dang it, I’m going to really miss this critical source of wisdom

Tillis is retiring. He doesn’t have to fear being primaried or facing the general electorate. He’s voting to fund ICE amid these atrocities because he agrees with what they’re doing.

Most damnable of all, Will sometimes: - has a friend or two over and re-broadcasts Twins games without the express written consent of Major League Baseball - clicks “I agree” on a software user agreement without having fully read it

ah the two genders of Bluesky

OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in. *Reads:* "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"

Alex Pretti doesn't have "stock," he isn't alive. CBP agents shot him in the back 10 times and killed him after disarming and pepper spraying him because he tried to protect a woman they were assaulting.

the fact that this bullshit has even reached the supreme court is completely disqualifying to the entire field of law

My “I’m being super fiscally responsible” 24-carat gold plated cashmere kimono has a lot of people asking questions already answered by the kimono.

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

“By the time you turn 18, you should no longer be using publicly financed roads, or expecting a publicly funded police force to protect you from being robbed. This isn’t the USSR.”

Love how former Reporter Against Disinformation Ben Collins has essentially turned The Onion into his own personal cog in the anti-Democratic Party disinformation complex.

Disengaged voters will not be aware if unanimous consent is denied in the senate, and there is no obvious reason why this would impact Trump’s approval rating. I dislike futility but I do like doing things for reasons.

I don’t think we should be *happy* about politics (though hopefully people can find things outside of it in these shitty years) bc things are still going to suck for 3 more years, but we should be happiER that dems may be able to get some restrictions on ICE than if they couldn’t.

"The Dems can't be reformed, we need a new party" is the political version of "we can't fix earth, we need to colonize Mars" in that however hard you think the first one is, I promise you the second is way, way, way harder and you'll need the Dem base voters anyway so... enjoy the Schememocrats

Obviously what gets negotiated now is what matters, and if the Dems can’t get some actually meaningful restrictions on ICE/CBP then Schumer deserves to be criticized for failing to capitalize on the opportunity. But it’s OK to say that he did a decent job to get to this point.

Breaking: trump boom coming out in 2 weeks

The child sex trafficking party wants you to know that they’re very concerned about the wellbeing of children

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/
