If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

'A House of Dynamite' but it's your uncles trying to deep fry a turkey.

My most woke opinion is universal suffrage for all citizens. Prisoners, children, institutionalized you name it.

You cannot chose to be peaceful unless you are capable of enormous violence. If not, it's not your choice. You're not peaceful, you're just harmless. And that is not remotely the same thing.

Democrats didn’t make Republicans embrace a pedo freak as their messiah

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

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."

The GOP didn't find a way to incorporate these kids into their political pipeline before they got radicalized online, and now they are a constituency that represents the future of the party, and there's nothing anybody can do to undo that fact. This is a key problem with 21st century conservatism

"No more Mr. Nice Democrat" would have been best a while ago but the second-best time is right now

One interesting thing about Woke Bill Kristol is that he hasn't, to my knowledge, gone on an apology tour. People accept him as the ally of the moment he is, because we believe he is sincere in hating these people will every fiber of his being.

"A second NYC electoral defeat has hit Andrew Cuomo."

Two things are true tonight: 1. Different tactics work for different regions. 2. Do your fucking civic duty EVERY TIME.

INTO MY VEINS

The voters, after 10 months of Republican government: holy fucking shit get me outta here

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Not a fan of Sliwa but I admire that he’s a genuine weirdo who’s gonna go home to his 17 cats and get a good nights sleep and enjoy living in New York for the next four years while Cuomo is snapping 12 pencils in his hands every five seconds and won’t have a moment of inner peace

C'est magnifique!

I hope Mamdani's victory speech is simply "AND STAY MAD, BITCH" *cue Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar*

@petridishes.bsky.social has outdone herself on this one

To be fair, it *is* a weapon of ass destruction.

"You may choose one person to tell you the Aristocrats joke."

This makes me so sad It is like we saw a better world and everyone with power recoiled at the sight like so many vampires hissing at the sun

it feels like they're trying to have a stare-down with the expectation that they can throw the brakes on when it gets too hot, but they are way too stupid to truly understand the kind of momentum & subsequent chain of reactions this could cause if there is no blinking before disbursements stop

if a handful of republicans in congress decided they were done with this bullshit we could block most of trumps worse impulses if les than half of them decided they were done with this bullshit we could end trumpism completely

Republicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House. This is their shutdown.

A neocon/neolib wants the populace to make sacrifices. Fuck that. Tax the rich and end this horseshit

All I can think is that some people believe that being right about a doomsday scenario earlier than everyone else will make them the winner of doomsday or something.

Hi. Where do we sign up for a dull moment.

Fucking personal growth, how does it work?

And nice things and good taste aren't always expensive. It's just that those of us who appreciate artistry also recognize the work involved in making beauty. One thing that sucks about a lot of rich people is they don't actually even recognize beauty and artistry, just $$$ luxury is wasted on them.

I proposed we rename the ACA "Argentina"

So they've started demolition before having an approved plan. Can't say I'm surprised.

The good news is for every turbo sicko I met, I would meet literally 1000 cool motivated people
