I certain someone who just lost her congressional primary has not yet endorsed the actual winner for the general, and I don't think either she or her advisors/surrogates grasp how refusing that norm signals to voters that she's not interested in the group project and was only in it for herself.

i need all nationwide dems and dem candidates to fucking knock all of this shit off immediately

damnatio memoriae, you're hearing it more and more, folks, we're going to erase his name from the history books very strongly, big strong men, tears in their eyes, they're going to say, "trump, that's an unusual name, i've never heard that one"

"You don't understand how popular he is in Maine" No bro I know exactly how popular he is in Maine and I'm judging them for it

There were a dozen whitetail deer within a quarter mile of my home, browsing the fallow hay fields Didn’t see any fawns, so either they were hiding or they haven’t dropped yet

Lindsay Graham is a detestable human being. That is still no excuse to target him (or anyone) with homophobia.

Will you make gay "jokes" about anyone if you get elected, or just about people you don't like?

A white Canadian calling other people “colonizer” would almost be funny if it wasn’t so sad

Today I weighed out below 150 kilos It’s the lowest weight I’ve been in 25 years 🥳

BREAKING: For the 11th time, Republicans have blocked Democrats from paying TSA. Republicans have been given ELEVEN chances to send TSA agents their paychecks, but they refuse.

I think we need to understand the whole "Biden personally ordered a brutal Gaza protest crackdown & that's why protests stopped when Trump was elected" thing as more lying as an act of dominance. The people saying it know it's absurd, they're saying it to dare you to challenge them.

No, I don't want *anyone* to do that, thanks.

Help this shit has me in tears

Baseball on Netflix is unnatural and wrong.

> Hamas solidarity probably good No, Hamas bad, therefore Hamas solidarity bad. Hamas are a fascist party.

AIPAC didn’t win! AIPAC spent more money vs Biss than vs her, she got crazy amounts of free nat’l press, & she outspent Biss by 50% She didn’t lose bc of ratfucking done against her. She lost despite ratfucking done _for_ her. And bc she wasn’t the best candidate nor did she run the best campaign

There are a few people in the comments who can’t read and/or attribute Will with things he does not say, so for the benefit of all: He’s not arguing against mutual aid in general, he’s pointing out (correctly) that a political campaign is uniquely unsuited to MA because of campaign finance laws.

do not turn your campaigns into mutual aid operations unless you have both a ton of money to spend on lawyers and a very high risk appetite for criminal charges but if you do, it’ll also be incredibly inefficient use of funding that your opponents will relentlessly scrutinize

I personally don’t think the President should be able to steal from the Treasury to pay co-conspirators using a bogus lawsuit as a vehicle to do so

The Originalist Case For Whatever Donald Trump Wants To Do This Time

The people who get the maddest about automated traffic enforcement are the ones who have benefited from this in the past and want to benefit from it in the future. What did you think the PBA stickers they send you to put in your window for your donation were supposed to do?

-hear a banger on the radio -ask my phone to identify it -it’s an Ed Sheeran song 🤦

hundreds of leftists waking up every day and saying “I will defeat the guy who annoys me on bluesky by being thousands of times more annoying than him” ok I am not sure about that one

I went to buy just a simple stick of classic Old Spice deodorant and I swear to God just under the Old Spice brand they had dozens of different scents with names like Ocean Breeze, Lumberjack, and Sasquatch Dick for $8 and the classic one was buried at ground level but at least it was only $4

It used to be kind of a wink and a nod, where it was basically “do whatever just don’t get caught because you’ll get the book thrown at you“ and now there are a ton of people who will openly say it’s unfair that people who are caught get punished.

I really hate the recent idea that actually cheating (at least on baseball) is nbd

"integrating mutual aid in their operations" is, uh, explicitly something you do NOT want campaigns picking up on, considering it sounds like it could pretty easily be interpreted as dodging campaign finance laws (the Big Boy sort of laws that will send you to prison, ftr)

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Okay now I have more negative feelings about Kat Abugazaleh than the entire running for office thing. Shah is a menace. Actively endangering the financial well-being of people on Bluesky by training them to fall for frauds and do financial crimes.

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

Between skipping the Anti-ICE protests to attend a high school hockey game and kissing up to the ethanol lobby, I’m beginning to think Amy Klobuchar doesn’t have very good political instincts.

I think there are particular coercive controls that universities can place on students quite easily that aren't as available for adult street protestors, but also yeah, this is why building your coalition around a student movement is like building it on sand.

New Orleans seems like an especially poor place for an underground tunnel. They don't even do underground graves.

one of many reasons to distrust platner is that rural healthcare is in significant trouble as a direct result of actions the republicans have taken. republicans closed rural hospitals, not big pharma, and if you’re running as a dem, it’s your job to say that

EVERY FUCKING TIME.

Folks, if you were following Hend because she used to be someone else, I get it. But it's time to cut her loose

It's only war crimes if it's done by Da Wesssssssss, otherwise it's just sparkling resistance

It's the perfect hypercapitalist fantasy of pushbutton instant production of everything they value with zero costs attached, instant turnaround, and they own it all.

If this whole “AI” movement wasn’t build on a rickety foundation they wouldn’t be working so hard to convince people it’s inevitable. Nothing is inevitable. We can and must reject this shit.

I don’t want to wade too deeply into the congressional age argument, except to say institutional memory is a valuable thing in a democracy and discarding it is how you end up with government by unelected lobbyists. Because the amateurs don’t know anything and are forced to rely on those who do.

None of this trash is “inevitable.”

YOU CANNOT BE A UNITED STATES SENATOR IN PRIVATE

This is exactly reversed: you are telling the general public that they can't vote for their chosen representative because you have decided based upon 100% bigoted basis that they should be ineligible to run.

Harassing someone because they don’t use your preferred nomenclature for an ongoing atrocity is not actually praxis It’s just being a dick

“this is a political prosecution” you’re god damn right it is and it turns out you committed a whole lot of crimes

I've said it before, Newsom is popular in the "people laugh when he trolls MAGA" kind of way, but not in a "they'll literally stand in his corner at the Iowa caucuses" kind of way.

Scott Baculum

look at this baby beaver and feel better briefly (@ wildheartrescue on TT)

John Fetterman looks like the kind of guy who hopes Batman doesn't show up tonight during their heist.

I don’t watch a lot of cooking competitions anymore but when I did the absolute best part was the ingredient snob (there was always at least one) getting eliminated
