"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

Trump at the UN is like if Khrushchev had beat himself in the head with the shoe instead

No one will be raptured tomorrow, but God will renew the face of the earth and shine His infinite light on you and the whole world

Wow

Kamala Harris on Mamdani: Look, as far as I'm concerned, he's the democratic nominee and he should be supported.

its wild to see my friend become famous lol

When your regime consolidation is going great.

Very weird phenomenon I sometimes notice of Christians interpreting the things Jesus said and did personally hyper specifically and narrowly (“The eye of the needle was a literal gate!”) But waaaay over interpreting other passages from other books like revelation (7 mountains mandate type stuff)

One of the reasons I believe in the bodily resurrection is that my relationship with my own body has for most of my life been one of extreme shame and intense discomfort.

Damn that’s crazy cuz I get more and more religious each passing day.

The flattening of political conflict into "people I like" vs "everybody else" elides that the far-right option ("authoritarian nihilism") is actually materially worse for a lot of people than neoliberalism

Disney f’d around and found out

EXCLU: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will announce today he is cancelling a televised town hall with WABC News planned for Sept. 25 in the wake of the network suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show last week. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

i really have not seen yglesias et al reckon with the fact that kamala ran exactly the campaign they would have suggested and lost.

This is very much NOT what the RCC teaches at all. Not even close

CW: Food. Everyone clap for me. Instead of breakfast sandwiches in between English muffins, I decided to remember that I’m a diabetic and eat this instead

You ever think about awesome @mitchellatencio.com is and how grateful you are that he’s one of your best friends?

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Remember when Jesus is on trial and Herod wants to see him do a trick? And then puts a robe on him to mock him? It’s because he doesn’t take Jesus seriously in the slightest. It’s apathy rather than hatred, a joke, a punch line. That’s how the right treats Christianity

Jesus Christ is just an idea to these people, a means to an end, a cheap trick for personal gain. Not a person, not God, and certainly not the resurrected one come to set captives free and proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.

It just saddens me that people will look at this "memorial service" and think that this is what Christianity is. It doesn't make me mad anymore, it just makes me sad.

There’s something profoundly gross and spiritually wicked about the religious display we are witnessing on television today.

Evergreen

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

If you’re a Christian in the United States right now, you have two choices and only two choices. 1. Die to yourself, and join God’s resistant activity against fascism. 2. Be a mocker of Christ, and follow the blood and soil nationalist theology on full display on every major network right now.

That is one of my dear friends. Jesus have mercy. He’s a pastor in Chicago

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Worship the LORD all ye people! Shout praises unto Him!

Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine.   My statement: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

I think she’s more ready to be president than the left is to run the US Federal Government and that’s a bad place to be for a potential president. We need to build power before taking on the biggest undertaking in a century.

Everyone says this picture of me is really cute I guess 🙄

Democrats need their own security service. In a time of dramatic political polarization, assassinations and federal lawlessness, it's no longer enough to depend on certain local law enforcement organizations or standard rent-a-cop security guards. Dems need trusted and vetted security.

People bitching about Bluesky is such an own goal. You’re mad at people not wanting to engage with Nazis and trashy ai ads every five seconds? Says a lot about who you are tbh

Interdict please

I would like Never Trump Republicans to demand that George W. Bush appear and speak up for democracy in this country. Why do ppl always ask Obama to do things and “where is Kamala”? Where is the 43rd President of the United States while democracy crashes & burns. This is the party he led. 1/

here's an article about the thing that every moderate on bluesky was telling me wasn't happening www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

After this weekend I’m logging back off

I don’t know why yall are taking commentaries on liberalism’s future seriously from Ezra Klein when Jamelle Bouie is right there.

YESSSSSSSSS. We LOVE Senator Guzman. Thank God she won that primary two years ago (one year ago?)

at this point I'd settle for any Democrat who actually believes in the stated and implied platform of the Democratic Party, forget one who shares my own beliefs

The people there know what they're doing. Even when we were getting tear gassed communication was clear and I never felt in serious danger, although some people sustained minor injuries. If you can show up, please do. The more people there, the more ability we have to obstruct their operations.

If I’m a historian or author who is close with the Bidens and still has a degree of influence (I can get people together, I teach at a good college, what have you) how in the world do I go about rebuilding Biden’s legacy? It’s looking worse and worse by the minute!

AP was a normally decent pollster for Trump and now it has him at 39%

AP-NORC poll | 9/11-9/15 President Trump approval Disapprove 60% (+7) Approve 39% (-6) (shift since last poll) apnorc.org/projects/pes...

gotta say this such a wild thing to do in/around a job interview

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

Worst person you know meme incoming

Right wing crazies want me arrested because they know I won't back down. Too bad.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.
