Just the most corroded souls in the Republican Party…

This is maybe the most Bluesky duo of posts: the first mad at Democrats for abandoning Platner, followed by a reply mad at Democrats for backing Platner. Which is it, Bluesky?

Twin Cities are great, don’t get me wrong, but damn I miss Portland.

What does it even mean to pass a smell test on the substance. Doesn’t getting to the substance of something by definition require more than a smell test.

Oh Bari Weiss is just Ms Rachel’s Wario

You genuinely can’t win a war if you tolerate too much doomer behavior. Public doomerism is shockingly socially corrosive.

The president doesn’t have a constitutional right to impose a tariff because he doesn’t like a foreign country’s TV ad. I know this doesn’t matter to the dictator in the White House, but I thought I’d point it out in case we ever start following the Constitution again.

Can we just play West Ham every week for the rest of the season?

Get bent w the phrase “purity test” ffs. Do people not get what they’re saying is “do not have standards”? “Do not change your mind when you learn new facts that are v troubling — & stfu when a person’s actions & explanations around those facts are shifty, hostile & display a lack of maturity?” 🤡

Open letter to Sanders and Lovett: My fellow Jews, you too, you especially, should draw the line at a fucking SS tattoo. This isn’t hard. This is, in fact, very easy. Why am I seeing you going to the mat for a former Blackwater merc with a Nazi tattoo?

The latest in Shut the Fuck Up Bret Stephens, from NYT’s continuing series: Shandas of Our Times

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

You're writing this down right? Good. As I was saying my car sucked so bad my wife left me. Yes I can spell my name for you.

It’s not just that they weren’t “kids” but this speech isn’t just doing “stupid things.” Even a fucking 14 year old shouldn’t be saying the heinous shit these Nazi shits were saying. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Inspired by this: please find my official apology regarding the cause of the 2025 LA wildfires. I will try to do better in the future #learning

A someone who has written extensively about the eugenic roots that permeates those who claim to be building so-called artificial general intelligence, I'm here to tell you to please NOT compare criticism against corporations claiming to build a machine god, with eugenics. The audacity.

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

They are now calling any and all criticism or (constitutional!) checks on their power terrorism.

If you think the Trump administration is very online, you're wrong. They're one hundred times more online than that. They only exist for online. It is their beginning and end, it is absolutely everything for them, they care about nothing else but retweets.

There was a teacher in my high school who pronounced Saturday “say-er-da-day” and I reliably think about this once a week.

Bluesky not exactly covering itself in glory this week. Doubtless antisemitism and anti-Palestinian bigotry will get that coveted waffles treatment from Jay soon too.

This was for an immigration raid of an apartment building.

He said that people who had a problem with his speech should do the honorable thing and resign, but his conception of our military is of one that acts without honor and is proud of that.

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

I am never gonna feel safe in added time this season, am I? #MOT

When history books are written, sure they’ll say he did disastrous things to the American people’s pocketbooks, recklessly spent down American soft power, and engaged in human rights abuses. But he also jacked off some truly heroic invisible dicks while dancing. Gotta focus on the wins sometimes.

Was just listening to a podcast while making lunch and heard an ad that started, “Wherever Bud goes, his harmonica goes with him. Now he has prostate cancer.” Did, did the harmonica give him cancer?

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I’m not a betting man, but I’m pretty sure this is going to end up a world historical mistake for us.

Very normal person bsky.app/profile/tsak...

Very very normal, all Jews, explicitly not only Israelis, need to answer for "our president" Netanyahu bsky.app/profile/tsak...

Experts took issue with Trump’s insistence that there is “no downside” to pregnant women avoiding fever-reducing drugs. In fact, studies show untreated fever in pregnancy is linked to risks of miscarriage and disorders including autism. @corinnepurtill.bsky.social www.latimes.com/science/stor...

The problem with pointing out that the emperor has no clothes is that many Americans think the UN is a nude beach.

This person is called Pissshitter because their takes are both piss and shit. Asking the average American to engage with “revolutionary leftists lit” is like trying to draw blood from a rock, just ain’t gonna happen. You meet people where they are, not where you want them to be in your imagination.

Too many people on here starting from “I want to call other people dumb, naive, and/or secret feds” and working backward from there.

Lots of bad faith and bad legal advice flying around on both sides of the argument I want no part of. - A perpetually relevant statement.

Ignoring everything else, why would you put your name on a list to get even more spam political emails and texts for the rest of your life?

jesus christ

Man, r/Jewish has lost its damn mind over Einbinder.

Can y’all just go read the Jewish Atheism Wikipedia entry and stop giving me a fucking headache with your “all religions are bad because they’re the exact same thing as Christianity and no I haven’t looked into that any further because my ego is too big to make me an intellectually curious person”

Last year: Austin Peay State University learns prof is Nazi who went to Charlottesville rally. Admin drags heels, pays him $56k severance to leave This week: APSU prof posts screenshot of headline - Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths ‘Unfortunately’ Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment- & is immediately fired

Update from outside Broadview ICE facility in Chicagoland— Even after feds killed a man a few towns away today, a small group remain to finish their 7am-7pm protest. SRT takes the dwindling numbers as an opportunity to unleash less lethals on a protester with a mobility aid sitting on the ground.

Charlie Kirk fans threaten HBCUs because they want to lash out at Charlie’s enemies, and theirs, and they’re conceding that means black people. Not ONLY, but definitely.
