Russiagate is real

This is incredibly stupid. US Treasuries are NOT part of the Trump admin. Also, it services nearly every other form of debt, so this is very futile.

lol

This is illegal.

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

They're fucking with the data

How I feel

@bsky.app Y'all need to fix your processes. This is unacceptable.

waow

I'm going back to sleep

If this is what they are doing with the AI, what do you think they are doing with the much simpler and easier to control algorithm that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are seen by others?

wtf

UPDATE — Here are the at least 11 congressional Democrats, 11 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Glad this story is finally public but also incredible that it is taking media so long to dig up what is essentially open knowledge in these communities rn.

We cannot turn away

Another win

We built a team of young Black, Asian, queer, and trans staffers at Teen Vogue, and they deserve the world. They are passionate, whip smart, and incredibly talented. Many of them are now without jobs — please consider donating to their GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/help-laido...

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

Seattle peeps:

A genuinely insane thing to say

"We’re done waiting for Dems to find their spine. We can’t afford a weak & cowardly Democratic Party while the authoritarians invade our cities, terrorize our communities, & threaten our democracy. We get the party we demand, & we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.” — @indivisible.org

Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot. Vote in your local elections! www.thestranger.com/news/2025/11...

remember that any senator not loudly calling for Schumer's head is happily playing their part in his Kabuki theater 'resistance' and is your enemy as much as he is

we are going to win

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. (Published January)

Joyce Carol Oates should say he can't do backflips off the roof next

The kids are all right

This is what Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., John Fetterman, D-Pa., Tim Kaine, D-Va., Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., and Angus King, I-Maine voted for.

In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help. We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party

Take the Democratic Party away from Democratic leadership.

This is just sad, man. What are we doing here?

lol

We need good privacy laws yesterday

I can't stress this enough as a super volunteer for the Democratic Party and Democratic candidates. This should prompt you to get MORE involved, not less. Show up and use the existing infrastructure to make it work for all of us. In my neck of the woods, we've seen a ton of local victories this way.

A win! fuck yeah!!!

damn!

NEW in Bolts: A populous, swing county in Pennsylvania replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

Remarks by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social at press conference on states' AG's lawsuit to protect SNAP recipients. "What was the point of the federal government's cruelty this weekend? Why subject people to prolonged anxiety and fear? It is not an abstraction. Real people are hurting. They are hungry."

NY AG JAMES: "I believe that not only was SNAP being used as a political pawn, but also, unfortunately, all of the delays at our airports were also being used as a political pawn, and that's why you had a cadre of Democrats who decided to cede power."

Good morning! Last night sucked, but it is Monday, which means that phone lines are being monitored. Yesterday’s vote was what is called “motion to proceed” and it was the vote with a 60 vote threshold. In the next couple days, maybe even today, 1/

Advocates in New Jersey say lawmakers should codify into state law a directive that restricts local collaboration with ICE. “We need to do whatever we can in New Jersey to protect our people,” says the director of the ACLU in the state.
