There's a reason every dictator eventually rolls out their secret police to murder and disappear the dissidents. It's bc they don't like living in fear of someone assassinating them for being a dictator. How many more supposed attempts on Trump's life until he goes down that same path?

So are we about to see MSM try to lecture Dems about political violence after they ignored 2 Dem congress members getting assaulted by MAGA clowns in the same week?

If the tech CEOs were really, really honest about AI, they would admit that the jobs where AI would be the best at replacing the human are the high-level executive positions. C-suite execs are the most replaceable-by-algorithm jobs in the entire company.

Liberals in general need a come to Jesus moment about when we're willing to let someone make up for their past fuck ups. A lot of people come to the light bc they realized they did horrendous shit in their past. Does this apply to this everyone? No, but we should be open to it applying anyone.

I hope when the CRT/DEI/AA agendas come back in style, Liberals remember just how brazenly all the critics who claimed that the racism in these systems was dead, happily brought used all that extinct racism to attack PoC.

Affordability is a losing message for Dems if they don't have a concrete plan to put dollars in the pockets of voters immediately. You can't base your entire strategy on "well he lied, so vote for us instead." You're going to be in the same place in a few years that Republicans are in now.

Apparently Muslims are a threat to your dogs bc of what some unelected official in Zohran's cabinet said... But Christian diplomats who think Jews have a divine right to all of the Middle East are... cool?

This is one of the dumbest arguments for the 2A. Afghanistan has one of the most free and widespread access to guns in the world. It's part of their tradition. There's virtually no limits, registration, or barriers to owning a gun. How much did that prevent the Taliban from rising to power?

Can legal Bsky explain why Palestinian-American families can't take Israel to court the same way the 9/11 families took Saudi Arabia to court? Israel is already on the hook for war crimes, right? If SA can be sued for abetting terrorism, seems like Israel should be getting sued for war crimes

These are the same people who will try to tell us that parents, working with doctors, are committing child abuse if they let their trans kids take puberty blockers. How are we having THAT convo while parents willfully defend themselves letting their kids die bc they don't understand vaccines?!?!

I think sometimes folks on the left forget that the most successful progressive leader in American history was a Baptist minister who used Christian faith to argue for racial and economic justice. Don’t buy into right wing framing that they have a lock on faith.

Deen the Great on that Katt Williams crashout trajectory....😂😂😂 I don't care. All these dudes doing everything for clout. Catching a two-piece, back to back, will get you there...😂😂😂

Just to make the point clear... when multiple voting blocs need to agree on a candidate, and one bloc tells you they have a moral line that they won't cross to support a certain candidate, the onus is not on them to swallow their morals. It's on you to find a different candidate that works for them.

And these are the same ones who will gaslight us into thinking that racism doesn't exist, but they'll turn around and support the very ppl who perpetuate racism. How about you get to keep your racism, and we get keep the programs that are designed to counter your racism?

My running list of demands for the next Democratic nominee for POTUS: -Refer to racial profiling that SCOTUS ok'd as "Kavanaugh stops." Stain his reputation -Target immigration enforcement in districts who vote for mass deportations/no amnesty. Crush the local economy is that's what it takes

If I had the choice of either a Kamala ticket in '24 vs an AOC ticket in '28, I'd 100% pick AOC bc AOC is better in every way. But Kamala did run. And we lost 2 elections with women at the top with "unexplained" defections from supposed blue bases. I think we see the same thing with an AOC ticket

Finally watched Peacemaker S2. I don't love that Nazi Earth is framed as this serene existence for White ppl that's only ruined by the mere appearance of a PoC.

The clearest proof that Elon will have zero repercussions for his White nationalism is how little pushback Epstein got from these same ppl. They were willing to tolerate a rich pedophile as long as he kept the money flowing. You think they'll step in to attack Elon's racism?

Ask them how many White ppl they've stopped then...

MAGA: we don't want to go to your limp-wristed, Marxist, hell holes bc they are dangerous indoctrination camps that offer nothing of value. Also MAGA: You also can't accept Blacks...

I need to get this off my chest but... I only know when to use "past" vs "passed" like 80% of the time. That last 20% is between yall and God.

One of the more telling things about America is that the case against ICE rests entirely on the fact that they killed to White ppl. There's equally damning evidence (which would actually stack the deck againt ICE) that they tried to kill another woman and lied about. The problem? She's not White.

Called it...

Sometimes I wonder if movies would be better if sometimes the bad guys won? Like... I don't think it's a coincidence that Thanos winning at the end of IW also set up the story to be one of the best adventure movies of the 2000s.

Me, after learning that's NOT Rebecca Ferguson in F1

That last line hit like

The fact that we don't have a problem taxing the winner of a $1.6B Powerball lotto is all the reason we need to raise the inheritance tax.

It's so nice that we are currently debating whether parents opting for trans care for children is harmful, while shrugging our shoulders at parents killing their kids by not getting them vaccinated. I guarantee more children died of measles last year than from trans-related surgeries.

If the ppl who kidnapped Savannah Guthrie's mom manage to get away with a haul bc of cryptocurrencies, I think that will be the catalyst that forces a crackdown on the entire industry. Bc if it works for them, you're gonna see a wave of copycat kidnappings

That new Game of Thrones show should've been a movie. It's great and well l-acted, but why are they trying to stretch it out to an 8 episode series? This is like when they made the Hobbit a trilogy.

As bad as this SB is, at least I could look back at the halftime show and feel like I saw something special. If you're a MAGA choad, this is probably the worst SB you've ever seen bc not only did the game suck, but the halftime show sucked, and the replacement show sucked.😶🤣🤣

2025: MAGA mad bc they don't know what Kendrick's talking about. 2026: MAGA mad bc they don't understand what Bad Bunny is saying. 😂😂😂

I don't like how easily accessible they're making all these weight loss drugs. Now when ppl see me, they're gonna be all... "So you're lazy *and* poor..." Bring back the mystique!

Hey guys... The ppl who listen to Def Leppard have a complaint about a guy who calls himself Bad Bunny...🙄😂😂

Hey @aoc.bsky.social... Please listen to this man.

IN 45 STATES A DRIVER'S LICENSE IS NOT LEGAL PROOF OF U.S. CITIZENSHIP. UNDER THE SAVE ACT, YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT AS VOTER ID. THIS IS ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY. YOU DON'T NEED TO USE DRAMATIC LANGUAGE. JUST POINT OUT, FACTUALLY, THIS INCREDIBLY INSANE THING THE BILL WILL DO.

Women: how can you not cry at the end of Titanic? Do you even have a heart?! Me, watching Man on Fire: 😭😭😭

One of the funny things me and my sister laugh about is if Usha's immigrant family is like our immigrant family, one of the recurring convos with her side goes like... "Oh, so your husband is the vice president?" "Yep...😊" "The one everyone hates, right?" "Not everyone...🙃" "Everyone we know..."

So Trump admitted that he saw the video, directed his team to post it, but somehow missed the last 2 seconds of a 60-second video... And that's what the WH means when they say a staffer posted the video...😑😑😑

A lot of America's problems could have been avoided if we made fun of gun lovers the same way we made fun of dudes who like to show off their katana and ninja star collection. It's cool you have a hobby, just stop exposing me to your fantasies about being a badass just for having them.

The funniest thing about this clip is that the boos aren't coming through over the airwaves. If that announcer hadn't said anything, viewers at home would not have noticed that he was getting booed. She just really wanted to let everyone know how much the crowd hates JD Vance.

"...And why did President Trump leave the video up for so long instead of immediately deleting it?" I hope the WH press corps is ready w this follow up whenever his people deny and obfuscate the blatant racism in his video depicting the Obama as apes.

The thing that Trump hates more than anything is having to admit he was wrong. It's weakness in his eyes, and being "right" is worth any amount of lying he has to do. Keep that in mind now that he's had to delete the racist video he posted. He's madder than he's been in a loooong time.

"...And why did President Trump leave the video up for so long instead of immediately deleting it?" I hope the WH press corps is ready w this follow up whenever his people deny and obfuscate the blatant racism in his video depicting the Obama as apes.

A video shared on President Trump’s Truth Social account depicts the Obamas as apes.

Annoyingly, this is technically true bc the Right has *always* been determined to keep access to rights and resources from minorities, women, and out-groups. The Left keeps "moving left" bc we keep expanding the fight to defend those who weren't being defended before.

Democrats are very dumb to focus on affordability under Trump when they don't have a plan to address it if they come to power. But since they are doing that, the only path forward is maximalist. End income tax for the bottom 90% of tax payers and cover the difference with tax hikes on the top 5%.

Anyone else notice Abby Phillip's show doing a better job of confronting the lies MAGA folks try to pass on her show? She used to let them run over her when they lied, and would just move on w.o clearly making the case that what they said was a lie. Seems like she's got way more fight in her now.

After 3 more glasses of Shiraz and a few minutes of chewing on sediment she kicked in the door of the kitchen and yelled THIS IS A WOMAN'S RESTROOM while trying to pee in the deep fryer
