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

a few fun quotes from this March 27 2008 articles

isn't it amazing what you find digging through old News Papers

For the first time ever, **in 2026**, it will be legal in Missouri for pregnant women to divorce their husbands. divorce.law/guides/news/...

Kim Jong-il has named his successor, Freddie Freeman

The Ferengi/Quark episodes on DS9 were *routinely* standouts of whatever season they were in. "Rules of Acquisition" "Profit and Loss" "The House of Quark" "Family Business" "Little Green Men" "Bar Association" "Body Parts" "Business as Usual" "The Magnificent Ferengi" I could literally go on!

Alexa, show me the single worst Star Trek take imaginable No that's too awful

Use of the r-slur: basic, bigoted, lacks imagination. "You fool!": classy, criticizes behavior rather than unchangeable nature, makes you feel like a mad scientist or wicked aristocrat shit-talking their lessers

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"

This is persecution. It's a moral and even religious-tinged word that may be off-putting for some but the description fits here.

At the end of the day, my distrust of left-presenting content creators and journalists is rooted in a concern that when the chips are down, they will show that solidarity is something they think other people owe to them, not to be reciprocated

I do feel like 2000% more ink gets spilled by Americans talking about JKR's transphobia and the need to defeat Harry Potter than about actual laws passed by transphobic American Republicans

Occurs to me that the last two years can be read as a period of jock ascendence in the eternal jock-nerd struggle for dominance. And it’s offering a pretty good reminder of the value nerds offer.

While she was serving our country, Betsy was sexually assaulted.  @grahamformaine.bsky.social — the rapists are to blame, not women like Betsy.

pivoting a magazine to BDSM coverage on the grounds that it would be easy to get subs.

I'm going to take this a step further than Will and just state out loud, as a former longtime nonprofit employee myself, that it is plainly NOT the job of political campaigns to provide mutual / community aid nor should it be. this is simply omnicause toxicity masquerading as do-gooderism.

OH MY GOD STOP TRYING TO SAY X IS AN IMPORTANT PLATFORM ITS NOT ITS THE SIZE OF PINTEREST BUT IF I WAS LIKE 'DEMOCRATS GOTTA WIN THE COMMENTS WAR ON PINTEREST' THEYD LOCK ME FUCKING AWAY

This is quite something from Singapore's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vivian Balakrishnan, in an interview with Reuters. The end of the post-war order, diagnosed in technocratic language. www.mfa.gov.sg/newsroom/pre...

Every day on this site I'm reminded of how Joseph Goebbels bragged that communists were the easiest people to transform into fascists because they were two thirds of the way there.

Since AIPAC is being a litmus test for candidates. I am looking at recent endorsements by Sanders the same way. If Sanders endorses you, you will not get my support unless I see what you are working with.He has given us at least TWO bad candidates and another one I am looking at that is questionable

Malcolm Kenyatta, who was one of Fetterman’s opponents in the primary, pulling no punches: “John promised that he was going to go to D.C. and be Democrats’ 51st vote. And instead he’s gone to D.C. and is behaving like Donald Trump’s fucking intern.” Gift link www.inquirer.com/politics/pen...

Maybe unpopular opinion: 98% of the outrage about Timothee Chalamet saying ballet and opera aren’t popular came from people who will never for the rest of their lives ever go to the ballet or the opera.

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

It also bugs me that their are first-time “disillusioned” donors who fell for her grift and are now mad that they’re allegedly hearing from other Democrats. All she did was create more “Dems suck” cynicism among young people. This is truly nothing to be celebrated in a midterm year.

Everyday voters like you can exercise SIGNIFICANT influence over state and local politics by calling your legislators and politely explaining your position on an upcoming vote. Small but well organized groups of NIMBYs have maintained a 65 year chokehold on zoning by simply showing up all the time.

this is not the main reason i'm against genericizing the term "Holocaust" in reference to genocides, but it is one of them. eventually Jews are going to be shut out of another term first used in this context to describe something that happened to Jews.

Lazy “they’re all bastards” cynicism has left you unable to distinguish real evil from imperfect humanity.

Well this is incredibly cool. www.reuters.com/world/lost-r...

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.

The President of the United States does not have operational control of campus security & a handful of students getting charged with misdemeanors was not a brutal crackdown.

The protests stopped after the election because they achieved their objective, they're telling this lie because they don't want people protesting Trump.

I don't like that the far-right and far-left have found common cause in supporting the killing and torture of dogs.

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.

Why do populist left candidates always shift blame in campaigns that focused on very narrow coalitions? She’s also dishonest as hell about the fact that Biss also won after being targeted by AIPAC. And reactions to her loss have fueled some of the worst antisemitism here in months.

My synagogue/child’s daycare just sent an email to all families that our annual security fee is doubling. I wonder what could’ve caused that?

Platner needs to lose the Dem nomination and if he wins it, he needs to lose the general to teach the Democratic Party that if it starts playing footsie with gross fucking Nazi populists it loses in a year it has NO right to lose in, b/c there are people who need to fucking hear & learn that i guess

uhhh… if I’m reading this right it looks like the former NYPD department chief is… bragging about not enforcing traffic laws against drivers listening to far-right talk radio?

We left of center people are waaaay too credulous of people who grew up super Republican and are now “my main politics is hating Dems/libs but from the left.” How convenient that you get to advance the same right-wing goals while keeping up appearances in the crowd you run in now.

I understand a bunch of you have been convinced by snappy slogans that AIPAC and Israeli money are behind all American conservatism I am begging you to realize that this belief is just another face the antisemitic movement is showing you to enlist you in a fundamentally reactionary project

Stop letting your desire to show solidarity to decontextualized videos which, again, are shared by the global antisemitism industry to make you antisemitic, prevent you from having solidarity with REAL HUMANS WHO ARE BEGGING YOU NOT TO START ANOTHER HOLOCAUST HERE IN THE US

not helping Palestinians either by mainlining blood libel Just stop watching the content! Stop cooking yourself in hatred of a country halfway around the world made up of the immediate descendants of genocide survivors! You do not have to listen to the Jew haters & they’re not telling you truths!

I want to reiterate: trans people will not survive a world without Jews. Everyone who calls themselves a “trans ally” while dabbling in lies and slander against the Jewish people told by Jew haters who’ve convinced them to cook their brains on anti-Jewish propaganda is trying to kill me too

I do not know how I can say more clearly that turning on The Jews will not help ANY group except cishet white men with power and hate and misogyny in their hearts

fun context (and thanks to @bretdevereaux.bsky.social for the stat) - Iran has allowed roughly 20 tankers to pass in the last week. the pre-war norm was 120 *a day*

Attention, any leftists supporting Graham Platner out there: your guy seems to be taking his talking points on healthcare from RFK Jr. You know who thinks RFK Jr. is a fucking joke and would never make common cause with him? Janet Mills.

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