This may or may not be true much longer, the issue with "fixing it" like Fidesz has done is that you actually still have democratic elections rather than farcical ones like this:

In Michigan, Detroit's former mayor, Mike Duggan is running for governor as an independent. A little research revealed he's being funded by the DeVos family and Roger Penske. That hardly sounds independent

I think the best thing we can do to prevent a "Billions must die due to no longer being 'useful' " scenario is working towards ensuring we all end up owning the means of production that replace our jobs instead of them continuing to be owned by just a few billionaires and corporations.

100%. Content creators aren't building a political movement. They are running a business.

Put another way: I don't think that Dems want trans people to die, but I do worry that they aren't committed enough to make sure that this is a society we can actually live in.

It’s 40 degrees in MN on February 12th. All EPA protections were just essentially gutted. Don’t let them pollute and destroy our public lands, while killing and kidnapping us, while taking away our right to vote. Call your senators! Vote NO on all 3: DHS funding SAVE act HJR 140

In a 2025 letter, @fetterman.senate.gov said he opposed the SAVE Act. Now he might be wavering: www.abc27.com/pennsylvania...

Henry Cuellar voted *FOR* the voter ID act. The DNC supported him over a progressive in a primary. Any questions?

It is so dumb to see commentators opine that you have to throw trans people under the bus if you want to win elections as if people are completely fine with fascism as long as they can be transphobes. Fuck those people.

From @derekharrison.bsky.social newsletter: *** I noticed that he has figured in Anagram Genius with some very apt anagrams. Mean old serpent PM needs to learn Molest and preen Plot ensnared me Don peer’s mantle Repent sad lemon Lean modern pest Lamented person etc. ***

The horse that 'Gallups', can also, apparently, walk backwards.

I know I'm late on this train but why did he have to call his AI Grok. I liked that word before. It was from Stranger In A Strange Land (by Heinlein) and I really don't like that he took it and made it synonymous with neo-nazis, child-porn-creators, and whatever other shitty thing its done.

I rode Amtrak for years and never ever had to show ID. Not to buy a ticket, not while riding. More importantly, yeah it’s bad and dumb to check IDs everywhere especially in a country where the party in power intentionally makes it difficult to get IDs.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Clearly the Clinton/Obama/Biden deep state is undermining the greatest President this country has ever seen. Or something like that.

20 or 30 people know who you are: cool, that's like they know you at the bar when you walk in a couple or three hundred people know who you are: look, ok, but keep your fuckin head down and don't make any weird moves more than this: the ragged edge of disaster at all times

How very black history month to suddenly discover even more underground railroad

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: Let me reject the notion that the Justice Department’s investigation into the attack on the Capitol was worse than the attack on the Capitol. There’s a real then and now problem. Trump subservience now requires amnesia.

Lastly, GO READ THE FUCKING CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. It contains all the bills that get introduced each session, with records of how those bills fare. You'll see that there are HUNDREDS of fantastic bills introed by Dems every year, but virtually all never even make it out of R-controlled committees.

this is the same democrat who said ICE should be "held to the same standards as local police departments" while pretending local cops aren't getting military equipment from 1033 and training from dave "killology" grossman abolish ICE. you cannot reform this shit. they didn't sign up for "training".

new phobia unlocked for real, when the last shot starts, i covered my phone with my hand lmao

A Minneapolis district by-election just went 95-5 on anti-ICE sentiment, I don't think this pro-ICE chud will be missed.

Lol. Loving the "fringe media" label for FP.

A reckoning is coming for the powerful. This isn't just a scandal; it’s a collapse. It is time to eradicate the predators and hold them accountable.

POV: There's a bustle in your hedgerow.

Hey fam can we create a new alternative to Discord but it's a text-based MUD where you have to navigate the channels on foot by walking to the different rooms and chatting with the other players. Level up your character. learn some new spells. Make friends. Have fun.

Could have happily watched the Superbowl without a MAHA or a "Trump Accounts" ad.

The 'Melania' director was behind that Mike Tyson Super Bowl ad. Brett Ratner, who has come under fire for sexual misconduct allegations and appearing in the Epstein files, directed the ad encouraging Americans to "eat real food." www.ms.now/news/the-mel...

I'm old enough to remember being a birthday party where we played Stevie Wonder, Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing after Nixon's resignation speech.

A question so good that my brain seized up

new from me: Trump's suggestion that the GOP "nationalize" elections in "15 areas" struck me for being a full-on Bizarro version of the Voting Rights Act — a system of federal oversight of election law but targeted -against- minorities

Trumpworld assumed MAGA-adjacent parts of the culture would thrill to ICE brutality. ICE recruits among fans of UFC, Nascar, military tactical equipment. But even MAGA-friendly constituencies and parts of the culture are now rejecting ICE and mass deportations. 5/ newrepublic.com/article/2062...

No Kings includes Draft Kings

The ‘You Don’t Have to Apologize for Being White Anymore’ guys have now made it against the law to use the word Black at college.

WELP just gonna drop this www.howtogeek.com/5-self-hoste...

Lovely coincidence that the day right after Ring had a super bowl ad glorifying how it can be used for mass surveillance Discord is like hey guys you gotta upload your face

I support Massie reading the Epstein client list AND the most salacious allegations in the files regarding Trump and other members of the Trump Junta. Let's see how much tolerance there is in America for a President who violently rapes 12-13 year old girls and boys.

Fannie Lou Hamer never separated freedom from responsibility. A voting rights activist and civil rights leader who helped organize Freedom Summer, led the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and co-founded the National Women’s Political Caucus. Black History. Always. 🖤 #SheShed #Voices4Victory

What if Abundance is just the Think Tank and PAC jobs we made along the way?

Remembering the Flint Sit-down Strike, from a booklet about the @uaw.org’s 1955 program for GM workers. Less than 20 years in the rear view mirror, it was clear the sit-down strike was a transformative moment for American workers. From the UAW archives at the @reutherlibrary.bsky.social.

"Bread and circuses," meet "meat and ferments." You'll get along famously.

Ocasio gang rise up 🙌🏽🇵🇷

This is what America First looks like, a unity of North, Central and South America ♥️

fudgy?
