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

welcome to bluesky. if the word "mapquest" means anything to you and/or you used it as a verb, you're in the right place

Due respect Senator, your eight colleagues are one of the real dangers. We do not need an adjustment. We do not need a vibe shift. We need a complete rebuilding of the Democratic Party.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

So when are you holding a leadership vote to replace Chuck Schumer?

We are literally mad about your failure to fight the real dangers.

the article fails to mention that one of georgia and david tennant's kids is nonbinary

Dismantling ACA isn’t about punishing insurance cos. The subsidies Dems were haggling for are tax credits. That’s our money. Not theirs. They’re talking about health savings as pre-tax dollars like your 401k. This is deregulation. Letting insurance cos resume denying coverage and selling junk plans.

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

We're nearly a decade deep into politics driven by "vote-against". We The People want something to vote FOR. "Do you want (X) to win?" is not a policy position, it's a confession that the only alternative you're offering is "anti-(x) vibes".

“Christ, I’m old”!

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to "help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Every. Fucking. Time.

does anyone know how to win a battle without fighting, asking for a few dozen frenemies

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

I know, everybody should leave X, but I think an exception should be made solely for Joyce Carol Oates so she can keep wounding Musk's withered soul on his own site and he can't do a thing about it.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

A reminder that according to Fetterman's own former staffers, Fetterman had a meeting with J-Street president Jeremy Ben Ami in which he told Ben Ami that he believes Arabs are like a "carton of sour milk" and that we should get back to killing. "Kill them all" Fetterman is reported as having said.

Remember, when journalists just let trans people live their lives in peace, it’s “ideological capture”, but when they use their own personal anti-trans beliefs to lead a campaign to close down the only place in the country trans youth received healthcare, it’s absolutely fine, nothing to see here.

Yes the "liberal" press could take an interest in this one but the UK has no mainstream news outlet that isn’t extremely antitrans and thrilled to publish any lies in service of that agenda

Sheldon remind me when did Chuck Schumer fight united with the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York

SNAP embarrassed him. So now he's against SNAP. SNAP is now the James Comey of government assistance programs.

Let’s be clear: this is class warfare. Tens of thousands of working-class Americans are going to die because of this “deal.” Real people. Real deaths. For another tax break for the rich. Those who voted for it — Republicans and Democrats — are on the side the 1%, fighting against the rest of us.

Is that the promised vote? Does that count as fulfilling Thune's pledge?

was reminded of this old tweet i made

Mamdani is a threat not because he is a special unicorn, but because his success is replicable. THAT is why the establishment loathes and fears him. (that and deepbaked Islamophobia)

Hurry up and do it so everybody can be raging mad by next November

and there's the official football yank. congratulations, centerist dems. you sold us down the river for nothing.

Because this is a brand-destroying action by Senate Dems.

I remember! Now that's just a fact of life and I hate it!

While that is how the term came about, action figures & dolls are actually to VERY different things now owing mostly to dolls are usually a 12" scale whereas action figure scales vary from size-to-size but are generally 6" now.

That's basically what I do everyday!

Guess who's going to get 🎶YELLLLED AAAT🎶

Excellent idea. The fastest way to do that is to vote for new Senate leadership. I'm glad you agree. When will the vote be?

NAZI APPEASER. Your ancestors would feel *shame.* Your collaboration cost me my dream job. Your capitulation will cost me my health care. I will dedicate my time to making sure EVERY LAST SENATE DEMOCRAT gets primaried. See you at the polls, fool.
