The ppl on this site demanding Walz attempt to use state forces to use the implicit threat of force vs the feds have a fantasy idea of what Walz can do. But what he *can* do is subject himself to what he is asking ordinary Minnesotans to endure. He must eat tear gas and pepper spray by their side.

Poor reading comprehension is not just a Bluesky thing btw basically every social media site is doing the "so you hate waffles" stuff now

Alright digging into "the Sam Project" and I suspect that they're getting a really distorted view of where American men are at because the only guys between age 16-29 who are going to answer a poll request like this are Grade A weirdos

If I were drafting a new constitution it would have to recognize that probably most of the time if you’re impeaching and removing a president, leaving in place his whole hand-picked line of succession is maybe a bad idea. Probably only a caretaker and a special election would do.

please stop copying and pasting any messages to spread any information if you aren’t personally verifying it’s accurate and what the source actually is, especially about saturday’s events. telling people to avoid downtown when you don’t know who is saying that isn’t helpful

I continue to think the "all the marbles" situation is between November 6 2026 and January 1st, 2027. They're going to get historically wiped out, and Trump is going to lose it.

beware: not a morning person 🎉

Really, really, don't understand the humiliation kink of that fucking newspaper, so insecure about their own claim to being american that they have to ask rural yahoos for validation of their americanness. Rural white yahoos are a tiny and shrinking minority!

For what it's worth I'm pretty willing to hand it to my posting enemies if they're not A. screwing everything up and/or B. endangering others

*Guy so addled with a history of online beefs that they basically make up his personality voice* "We need to engage this issue with clarity and realism"

this is genuinely incredible

This leads me to believe that up until this meeting, Trump absolutely thought it was "hole milk."

You assholes put Rümeysa Öztürk in an unmarked van for writing a milquetoast op-ed

There's always some serious mapgame brain on here and it gets worse in times of great stress. We keep doing this.

Something that I'd note is that there is a pretty clear case of Trump losing going on in Minnesota rn. As in: he would 100% have called up the NG rn but has been told by thr courts and even SCOTUS to pound sand. And so now we're at the final card, the insurrection act, which they know is it.

The online right is reaching uncharted levels of weird

Incredible for ICE to have lost all this after *they* shot someone. Only force I know of that routinely retreats from their own shootings

We saw this last year. People got so worked up and didn't take any breaks to breathe for the first couple months of Trump's term that they crashed out and started dooming, ironically right around the time the administration started being handed its biggest defeats.

it is really becoming obvious now that Bsky userbase expected Dems from November 2024 onwards to mobilize as some sort of Temu insurgency resisting the federal government

A very unfortunate side effect of this elevated state of events is that a lot of people are going to become emotionally attached to the concept of resistance and end up exploited by very very bad people

The two genders

I think there's a very big difference between "nobody with power is taking this insane thing seriously" and "nobody is taking this seriously" when you're talking about the actions of a president with sub-40% approvals and falling

I fear the theory of change here is 1) Trump wants to invade Greenland 2) Desperately offer him alternatives 3) Do anti-regime air operations in Iran instead

It's probably difficult for the President to bathe now. And he probably doesn't want to admit it. Plus he craps his diapers and forgets to brush his teeth.

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

Alright are we launching airstrikes against Iran or is Trump about to try and kidnap the Ayatollah

This is basically a Platner internal from what I understand

Alaska - Senate Polling: Poll: 🔵 Peltola: 48% 🔴 Sullivan: 46%* 2020 Result: 🔴 Sullivan: 53.9% ⚪️ Gross: 41.2% Alaska Survey Research / Jan 11, 2026

Trump just announced a 25% tariff on advanced chips, but not on chips that are used within the United States. So it's a tariff on chips used an input into exports. Yes, effectively an export tariff. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

ICE is apparently running all over my city but nobody is putting out videos of it because local activists have given everybody really bad advice about "OPSEC"

Cowards are trying to cancel TJ the Welder.

TJ the Welder Just run with it

You can tell Elon never listens to his lawyers because this will definitely be used against him later.

.@PabloReports: Do you stand with the autoworker who called Trump a pedophile protector? Ruiz: Trump should release the Epstein files and prove him wrong.

Why is every other Canadian post about American politics something like: "If you still shop at Walmart YOU ARE COMPLICIT"

‘Oracle was sued on Wednesday by bondholders who say they suffered losses because the company led by billionaire Larry Ellison failed to disclose it needed to sell significant additional debt to build out its artificial intelligence infrastructure.’ www.reuters.com/world/oracle...

News from yesterday that I missed but is very important.

"May your house be on CNN" —Bosnian proverb from 1990s

Vibe check: they totally put out something 2 hrs after I posted this

The UAW will ensure that our member receives the full protection of all negotiated contract language safeguarding his job and his rights as a union member. Workers should never be subjected to vulgar language or behavior by anyone—including the President of the United States.

🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

The gofundme for that factory worker who called Trump a pedophile protector is at like $300k. Funniest possible outcome of this is everyone rushing to do the same thing in the hopes of getting paid

Yes, I think statements from Miller and Homan are frustration that they've been dragged into a massive mess that's slowed the entire process way down and bogged down far too many resources. But the Trump rule of never backing down prevents them from changing course.

So Gallup is showing Trump's approval dropped 5% to 36%, that means we're definitely going to get some polls under 35% soon
