I know the joke is the people responding suck but also my therapist and I do talk about baseball but that’s because I am a Mets fan and thus I NEED the therapy

why is the leadership team here so so bad at this????

I think the actress who plays Zosia in Pluribus could just replace Gal Gadot in anything she was cast in. Like could we just reshoot and add her in post?

what is happening

Never thought I’d see an unplayable Taylor Fritz but I am now.

TAYLOR FRITZ IS A VERY GOOD TENNIS PLAYER WIN OR LOSE YOU SHUT UP ABOUT HIM

Hello @support.bsky.team I heard from Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social that her account was suspended. Can you please look into this and reinstate her account? She’s a published author and scholar on authoritarianism. Her presence here is valuable. cc: @jay.bsky.team @aaron.bsky.team

this match is giving me agita

dems post-shutdown messaging is giving Big

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Thankful for a union contract every day — especially thankful on days that not every organization/business chooses to honor. ✊🏼

Taylor Fritz I need you to shock the world again 🎾

“Likable person who isn’t 1000 years old and generally does things you like” isn’t unicorn fantasy land bullshit it’s the bare minimum you deserve as a human being

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

she could tax the rich and pass the New York Health Act as a model to the country, that would be a fun way to show that this is more than just pretty words

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be

SEATTLE TRACK YOUR BALLOTS LETS GOOOOO

I took a decent picture at the DMV today and that’s honestly enough

I AM SO HAPPY FOR HER

hiding every post that postulates about a Pete Alonso-less Mets, for my own well being

really appreciate Nate Silver giving us a unifying point during what is otherwise a pretty unpleasant couple days of Bluesky

vibes are godawful. emergency onion

get this maniac on the Mets

the Rosetta Stone of dem politics is the 2006 senate primary which incumbent Joe Lieberman lost in part for making out with George Bush He ran anyway, won with GOP support, dems let him keep his seniority, chairmanships and perks & he rewarded them by obstructing the ACA & killing the public option

You cannot use the suffering of Americans as leverage against people who are fundamentally unmoved by suffering

everyone is being held hostage. there is no part of this that isn’t hell. there is no “but” other than we don’t win the war if we don’t keep fighting. need better generals.

I really think I just need to log off because I’m so tired of people acting like it is a fine and easy decision to let 40 million people go without food and millions of workers go without paychecks for the coldest months of the year

I think this is a good take

What actually happened is that Republicans held a gun to the head of Democrats and said, "Choose between starving kids and healthcare costs." But why would journalists ever hold Republicans accountable for their hostage-taking tactics?

unrelated but justice for westworld

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The DNC Gets It.

We literally can tell a bible story, it’s the Judgement of Solomon Republicans are ready to cut the baby in half

I have good and/or palatable Senators but that’s cold comfort on a night like tonight.

this is the thought that I have been struggling to articulate well →

yes, exactly. i understand why they would make this choice, and i can even respect it. but it is career ending, because you don’t have the nerves for what will have to come next.

a girl has no name but she has a list

Hard to conclude anything other than. They see Mamdani as more of an existential threat to their comfort than Trump. And they aren't wrong

leadership sucks but I think it’s much easier for us on here to talk about messaging victories with full bellies

the minibus funds SNAP for a year, so if we do this again in January SNAP would no longer be in peril

tomorrow morning I go to trade in the driver’s license I’ve had for the last 7 years (new address and also finally updating the name) and I’m feeling weirdly bittersweet 😭

John Fetterman’s memoir comes out on Tuesday, so if the phone calls don’t work you can always tell him how you feel while he’s on book tour.

Why does the House, the larger of the two legislative bodies, not simply eat the Senate

i don’t think the axios reporting is entirely off base if you have house members out here soft launching an abolish-the-senate position lmfao

the libbing out is on hold until morale improves 😔

I’m very mad and I do feel that not getting any meaningful concessions on subsidies feels like a cave but millions of people are starving and that’s just one reality of the trade offs that republicans are WILLING to make it all sucks. living under autocracy sucks.

I wish I was watching the Mets send Ryan Helsley in to blow a 4 run lead rather than dealing with the Cave Caucus right now

I will Post so hard, democrats. No but seriously I will create lots of content and explainers in very plain English, and I will fight for all the people you leave behind by caving to these authoritarians for NOTHING AND THE PROMISE OF A SONG.

OK FINE CALL YOUR SENATORS AND STOP THEM FROM SUCKING (202) 224-3121
