Happy birthday, King Charles. Seen as a progressive monarch, except for the hereditary power and immense wealth and owning land and profiteering from property and being anointed because of being chosen by god and treated like a different species to the rest of us. Other than that, totally woke.

Let me fix that for you: Texas A&M is limiting how instructors may discuss gender identity and race in classrooms in an assault on academic freedom unseen in America since the Red Scare.

I don't mean to be glib or trivializing: Texas A&M's "to end indoctrination you must teach only our doctrine" is some arbeit macht frei obscenity. No, of course it's not genocide. But it's the logic of sadistic erasure, the way in 1984 2+2=5 made even believing the truth impossible.

these epstein emails are pretty damning. i sure hope that we haven't spent the last couple years in a cultural backslide where men are seemingly allowed to openly and gleefully fantasize about dominating young women without any threat of reproach

BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are expected to fire Nico Harrison, sources tell The Athletic. The former Nike executive drove the decision to trade Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers eight months after Dončić led Dallas to an NBA Finals appearance.

EVERYBODY GET IN HERE NICO HARRISON HAS BEEN FIRED NOW SELL THE TEAM YOU ZIONIST MERCHANTS OF DEATH

Is the shutdown over? Not yet. Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5. There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House. Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen. Stay loud. youtu.be/mdFRfeGRKfI

It’s not left v. center or progressive v. liberal or anything like that. It’s fight v. don’t fight.

What makes this more frustrating is that Dems were winning. They had public opinion They had base enthusiasm They had Trump making tactical mistakes every day And they lose

That doesn't mean let up on the pressure, oh no. Just that I cannot, and you cannot, let your sense of purpose depend on Democratic Senators doing the work. They - en masse - will not. Not yet anyway.

Do I understand why Democrats held on for forty days and then caved? I do not. My sense of purpose, my focus on doing things I can do in lanes where I can do them, does not drift. My sense of purpose does not depend on elected Democrats leading; they will follow, erratically and begrudgingly.

I am not going to let Schumer and 8 center-right Democrats bring me down. We won on Tuesday. We're gonna keep winning. Just keep telling the stories of what the Trump administration is doing and how it's making lives so much harder, about the corruption, the incompetence, the violence.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Not seen a single House D or potential 2028 D support this. They must be the D's who want a future.

None of this is my fault, don’t doom in my mentions, don’t be a bitch, kick the shit out of everyone in our way until you see daylight, hope this helps

I don't know the actual details of the shutdown deal but BlueSky is making it sound like the democrats just made a trade with the Rays.

Folks, we need to have a little Civics #101 chat, because apparently the media no longer seems fit to explain to you whats happening. So quick review: The House passed a clean CR. The senate has not passed anything.

🏈 JAX 29 - 36 HOU FINAL ✅ That's Scorigami!! It's the 1094th unique final score in NFL history.

Democrats are cast simultaneously as terribly cunning/powerful and completely inept. Somehow, they always foil the righteous and competent accelerationists.

These people know better than 75m voters, yet have no power in the electorate and no ability to plan or fundraise in a way that delivers anything more than the most corrupt corporate Democrat.

I would argue that anyone promoting accelerationism is an asshole. But the *biggest* assholes are the accelerationists who risk less than the average low-income voter on SNAP, Section 8, Medicaid or Medicare, etc.

I think too many people don't understand what "accelerationism" is and why it doesn't make sense. Just so we're on the same page, "I didn't vote for Kamala because I thought Trump winning would get us third parties faster" is accelerationism.

Rest in Power Marshawn Kneeland 🕊️

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Maybe Bloomberg and the other billionaire bigotry backers can now spend their money on something worthwhile, like goddamn breath mints or something.

Mamdani quotes Eugene V. Debs, who earns a roar of approval just at the mention of his name.

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

Devastating. Teen Vogue's politics coverage has been incredible and this is a major loss for journalism. Legacy journalism keeps on getting rid of the only people making it worth anything anymore.

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

I think that was satire

That dodgers white house visit is going to be something else

Better to win in October than to get fucked in October

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

This is one of the first times in a long time (ever?) when it feels like Bluesky might have The Juice

Oh boy

Myles Straw

Springer is going to die holy fuck

I think this is the truest baseball tweet for me

#Dodgers #BlueJays For the 20th inning we should make Dave Roberts and John Schneider have a cage match

All the thinkpieces about Bluesky don't account for the fact that it's occasionally 100% wall-to-wall baseball on here

Both of these teams fans all must've died of heart attack

Fuck the adelsons

My personal boycott against watching the Mavs as long as Nico is employed continues to pay off.

fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico fire Nico

Happy flagg day to those who can stomach giving 15 dollars a month to the adelsons (not me tbh, I'm just watching today's game)

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”
