Not sure I’m getting the terminology right, but Iran is definitely calling Trump a “cuck” and if we want to go there, we can take it all the way to “whiteboi”? Is that correct? May I get a MAGA ruling on this, please?

Based on everything we keep seeing I just don’t know how people are so reflexively defensive of Obama, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries etc. They’ve all fucking failed us. Their job was/is to fight the right and they don’t do it.

Just got a sneak peak of @mapcenter.com 's new space and it's gorgeous and everyone should spend all of their disposable income on maps so he can afford the rent

If you go back in us history, equal rights for women, black, Latino, Asian, gay people all polled badly at some point. I don’t give a fuck. Either stand up for rights or get the fuck out of the way, I don’t care which party you’re in.

Imagine the depths of the Trump family tax f*ckery that they feel they must secure eternal tax immunity before the end comes.

Beutler is one of our best political thinkers, but this one…Slush fund uses for election f*ckery: A lawyer queasy about an illegal scheme, you can apply for a few million dollars. A state official who wants to help Reps hold the House, but doesn’t want to break the law, would $1 million sway you?

WTF, @whitehouse.senate.gov?

The worst part of this fascist clusterf*ck is that our “opposition leaders” are such losers that we can’t even fantasize about them stripping this criminal of everything and seeing him destitute and bald in jail someday b/c we know nobody will follow through. F*ck our feckless Dems.

Another thing you could do is maintain a public website listing the known offenses of, and proposed accountability measures for, this gang of criminals. It's just unconscionable to be mumbling about Affordability while we're watching a historic crime spree every day

@skeetsapp.com y’all, my app spontaneously shuts down multiple times a day for no discernible reason lately. What’s up with that?

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

For those who genuinely want to build broad coalitions that can win elections, I think "fire these Democrats" would be a hugely winning rallying cry in Democratic primaries, and the candidates that would emerge from such primary seasons would be far more equipped to win broad mandates.

You've got to kick down the door before you can fight the fire, and establishment Democrats are not only acting as the the door, they are actively barricading the door and fundraising off the fire, and they can all go fuck themselves.

I honestly hope at least 90% of currently elected Democrats lose their jobs the next available chance in favor of people who actually believe power can be used to shape needed change for the people they're allegedly meant to represent. It's our only hope.

Imagine if, five years ago, the people panhandling for Dem millionaires had instead put that energy into highlighting the threat to voting rights and pressuring the Biden admin to act on restoring the full VRA -- not to mention punishing sedition. Instead they targeted voters seeking accountability.

“Doomers” have been warning you for a decade while you’ve dismissed and ridiculed us. It’s time you STFU and listen. Your corporate Dems have done f*ck all about it. If you don’t primary them and put fighters in office NOW, it will get worse. This has been a public service announcement.

Slightly increase a band. Mediocre Minds.

Or how about simply a law enforcement body who will arrest him when he commits a f*cking crime?

None of this stops until rich, powerful people — who steal from taxpayers and think they're above the law — start going to jail

4/x I lived it, I did what I could to demand accountability. Bradley Moss can go fuck himself. cc: @jabbanobadda.bsky.social, @elizabethbennettjd.bsky.social, @pamacious.bsky.social

3/x second Trump term and all that’s befallen. Salting the wound, he goes on to defend Biden’s timidity, giving him cover because of COVID and SCOTUS’ eventual ruling on presidential immunity. I didn’t ask for and don’t fucking need a DC insider mansplaining how blameless Biden is. I was there, …

2/x democracy experts, many of whom are women, shouting from the rooftops. These women, treated as hysterical (I chose that word carefully) and pushed out of national media coverage (see, e.g., @sarahkendzior.bsky.social), told us again and again that impunity breeds recidivism. They predicted a …

Biden's presidency and the aftermath we're living through should be enough to destroy the "let's the turn page, let's look forward, let's move on" mantra that has animated centrist Democrats for decades now. Accountability matters. There has to be a reckoning.

"You need to long for Holden Caulfield because longing for something is good for the emotionally unwell. That’s what I told my friends when they stopped coming to my parties because I was getting 'too intense' about metaphors."

All I know is something like a bird within her sang, All I know she sang a little while and then flew on, Tell me all that you know, I'll show you snow and rain.

The Senate passed the Voting Rights Act renewal in 2006 by a vote of 98-0. The Supreme Court majority gutted it on the grounds that the Justices personally dislike the impact.

Now, as much as I like this, I'm really holding out for a Dem to go with my big ICE-melting idea: promising million-dollar bounties for ICE officers who rat out their buddies for violating the law: 31/

This is very good Nuremberg Caucus stuff. It would be an *amazing* campaign promise for anyone primarying a shitty normie Dem in the midterms: "Vote for me, and I will be part of the legislative movement to make the Supreme Court weaker and thus more accountable." 30/

They need to believe that elections can deliver the change and hope they've been promised since the Obama campaign, but which has never materialized. While trials and punishment for Trump's fascist goons are at the center of the Nuremberg Caucus plan, that's not all of it. 17/

The idea here is to both demoralize Trump's collaborators and to stiffen the spines of the Democratic base who will have to be convinced that turning out for the coming elections, and defending them, will mean something. 16/

The Nuremberg Caucus could even set dates for the trials of officials, with judicial calendars for each federal courtroom, starting on January 21, 2029. 15/

Dems should create and maintain a docket with exhibits and witness lists that gets updated every time one of these crooks runs their big, stupid mouths on Fox News or OANN or Twitter. 14/

smh The only way this still makes sense is if I see the entirety of US politics as a giant "drama" and everyone just plays their part on stage. Because if you did believe this was an authoritarian take over you would not - emphasize NOT - attend. These people believe in NOTHING!

I can't speak to other cultures, but for every English-speaking culture on Earth as of 2026, "are we the baddies?" is essential to understanding the moment. It's not just that there are baddies; there are genuinely millions of people who can barely comprehend what they support and why.

The wheel is turning and you can't slow down, You can't let go and you can't hold on, You can't go back and you can't stand still, If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will.

Exploiting your opponents' scandals to your own advantage is just good politics. Newt Gingrich understood that. Newt's only mistake was overreach. He used extreme methods for misdemeanors the public considered trivial. With Pelosi/Jeffries it's the opposite. Their mistake is drastic underreach.

Wait for it to focus... Sound up... Earthset, recorded by Reid Wiseman during the Artemis II lunar flyby. The initial imperfect composition, and the phone hunting for focus makes this so much more human and familiar. A celestial scene witnessed by only 28 of us in history...more

Maybe he should go filibuster nothing at all again. That’ll fix shit.

It’s coming down She's leaving your house She had to get out She’s mad And she’ll take her mattress with her The imagery and construction of the last 2 lines of this @thebandcake.bsky.social song strike me as sheer brilliance anew every time I hear them. Who is speaking?!

My cats watching me clean their litter.

I've thought about this, too. The Republican party hasn't been legitimate in my eyes since I watched Gingrich and his lot of "angry, young [white] men" behave as if the Constitution didn't apply to them.

Why has electric blanket technology gone off a cliff? I bought one in 2010 that was toasty and awesome but finally died 2 years ago. I’ve bought 3 *expensive* ones (with the best reviews!) since and they’ve all been non-toasty and all-around crappy.

Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry any more, 'Cause when life looks like Easy Street, there is danger at your door. Think this through with me, let me know your mind, Wo, oh, what I want to know is are you kind?

Dems get a free pass to sexually assault anyone they want until trumps out of office is way too common of a Lib talking point right now. Blue MAGA is crazy to witness.

There's no reason entry level work should mean poverty level pay. Whatever the job, full time work should always pay enough to live a decent life.
