it took a phenomenal, expensive, coordinated effort to get from losing 400 million dollars & a gubernatorial race to skrmetti in 9 years.

The objectively correct answer is Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers

Since acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has confirmed that “Anybody in this country is eligible to apply if they believe they are a victim of weaponization,” I decided to apply for reparations. Here is a template if you want to draft your own demand: shero.substack.com/p/everyone-c...

The Biden Administration also wronged me, and I will now apply to Trump's "slush fund" and demand millions of dollars. I recommend that every American flood the system. Thanks @muellershewrote.com for the tip. I am no longer a silent victim!

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions.

This is true for every metro area. Can you imagine all the people in rural and far-flung suburbs having to pay the actual cost of getting infrastructure to their houses? Buddy living in a 3800 sq ft house in Corinth is maybe the biggest taker in the state, but is completely oblivious.

SIGN OF THE DAY…

Happy Lil Sebastian Day to all who celebrate

Big thumbs up to Curry Barker's Obsession. Super upsetting film. Very well made with tremendous performances especially Inde Navarrette. Also check out his short The Chair (unless you know someone who had dementia; it'll be tough). youtu.be/mhazCS14Tas?...

Gavin still needs a foster home, btw.

Get up off your butt, you have to vote again.

During the pandemic that killed a million Americans there was no talk about sacrifice from republicans. If you said it wasn’t safe to go to Dave & Busters because there were no more hospital beds available you were a traitor to America. But a war of choice? Better start your liberty garden now.

This is what actual 'energy independnce' looks like.

Winning in 2026 and 2028 just gets us in the ring. That's when the fight starts.

In addition to fighting back against GOP gerrymandering, here’s another reason why state-level races so important in 2026: if Dems win trifectas in combo of MI, PA, WI, NV & AZ they can put National Popular Vote Interstate Compact over 270 electoral votes & elect next president with popular vote

really insightful and horrifying stuff from @thefarce.org

Trump plans to steal $1.7B from taxpayers to pay off the terrorists he already freed from prison. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

You only need but ask…

Puppies!

bluesky — i am talking to you, all of you — need to internalize this and you need to tell everyone you know this. shampoo more expensive? republicans. burgers more expensive? republicans. beer more expensive? republicans.

It's a decent 'gotcha', I guess, but to me the big issue is Burgum is so worried about the US using Chinese-made solar equipment but doesn't seem interested in making those parts in America.

My wife: your commute is 3 miles to an office building where you wear slacks. Me: god! You just don't get it!

Worth pointing out the South never assimilated with the US.

Sometimes you just have to revisit the best to ever do it. youtu.be/qWXnt2Z2D1E?...

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

This is the kind of energy we need coast to coast right now

This dog was a three term mayor of Whoville.

Every blue state needs to be doing this and also making housing way cheaper. Most people already want to live in big cities and on the coast. It's the cost of living that's pushing them away.

The big divide in today’s Democratic Party is not liberal-progressive or centrist-leftist. It’s fight-acquiesce.

Little, yellow, different, better

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

Uh oh... #ThirstyThursday

Was it a dream where you were where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid, with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you? No... Why, am I the only one who has that dream?

new linkedin shit post up

@jellyzedsy.bsky.social go to bed!

Has this been done yet?

Saw this on reddit - had never heard of this band but I guess people said they sounded like the band from Star Wars so they sang the star wars song. Now I will have to investigate them

“The dismantling of USAID, according to models from Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children,” Gawande wrote.” hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

China's big bets: Solar power, high-speed rail, inexpensive high-quality EVs. US big bets: Bomb Iran, protect domestic car industry, dismantle wind power, the Freedom to Drive initiative. Who do you think is making the smarter bets?

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.
