there is no better visual metaphor for this era

when i was younger we had different things than the things people have now

I genuinely think in the next year you are going to see a major politician in the US make a video when they take a shit on cd disk called "liberal cringe" publicly for all to see to own the libs. That would be fucking amazing.

trumps strategy of destroying blue states which bring in majority of countries revenue and then also destroying and bringing red states to mass suicide with tariffs doesn’t make much sense so far

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

It’s not just who’s on the ballot, but what’s on the ballot. The broken politics of the past or a future we can afford. It’s debate time. Let’s go.

You got Botox my family is Finnish we are not the same - Gustavo Fring

why

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

Please enjoy 10 seconds of a fat groundhog enjoying an apple at my sister's house 😊

... probably not the worst thing in the world if ICE decides to pick a fight with every local PD even though most cops are likely very sympathetic to the admin the combination of "this is our turf" and "stop gassing me, fuckface" is a powerful one

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

You would think the obvious solution to "the volunteer-powered project we all train our AI models on for free isn't adequately twisting reality to our political views" would be "... and so we stopped training on it" and not "... and so we will force the volunteers to bend to our will"

The alliance between South Africa and Palestine is beautiful and everywhere

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Drill baby drill.

⭕ #Bologne pour la #Palestine

It is fully irresponsible to argue for an American return to global leadership. This country is deeply unwell and has no business leading anything until that's no longer the case. There's a whole world out there capable of tending to the world's problems. We must tend to ours.

oh no not the business world

#freepalestine Free Palestine

A president who is crashing the economy, destroying public health and terrorizing immigrants keeps slipping in the polls. He could: A) stop his bad behavior to stem the slide or B) try to crush free speech to cover up his failures. Right now, he’s choosing B.

Richest country in the world btw

Much like Target there are certain things that every middle class politically active liberal has enjoyed using but know they don’t actually need

If the alternative to liberalism or the far right doesn't break up big tech and media monopolies then the same forms of censorship people are mistaking for free speech will keep happening. There's no free speech under a corporation - they're dictatorships run by boards CEOs and shareholders

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because they’re “scared.” People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence won’t protect you but it emboldens them

Lander does this shit when he's not even running for anything. The realest possible one

Free free Palestine 🇵🇸

*siiiiiiigggghhhh*

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

anyone know what kind of dog this is

Free Palestine forever 🇵🇸

is this good

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

Matthew Dowd was fired from MSNBC for saying Charlie Kirk was "divisive". Brian Kilmeade called for the execution of unhoused people with mental illness through involuntary lethal injection. And kept his job

Really weird to see people try to portray Bluesky as a radical website when you’ll scroll past about 10 straight posts about how great spaghetti is

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's. If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too. It's just a question of political will.

This is probably ok, just the west antarctic ice sheet collapsing in real time.

the united states has the political instability of 1990s eastern europe, probably bad

yes yes... all these items are of... equal... importance?

The better question is whether working people can exist in the city they built.

President dril

The reason many of the commentators don’t like Bluesky is because the infrastructure is set up in a way that no longer benefits them. On Twitter it was always easier to gain an audience by purposefully saying things that upset people. Getting ratio-ed was a tactic. Here, that’s much harder.

So Trump approved a botched military mission during which SEALs killed a number of North Korean civilians, and then likely illegally the Trump administration never briefed Congress about it

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.
