I missed it earlier. This is very good & I'm glad to see Dem governors taking the lead. We still have a federal system, all. State execs (governors) have an important role to play in the Dem party. How the Democrats Can Play Offense on Immigration

Absolutely disgusting to dismiss people’s trauma like this. Until very recently, and perhaps even now, there have been bulletholes from the shooting in the building where the attempted mass murder of CDC employees occurred. “What you’re going through is normal”?? NOTHING about this is normal.

The problem with so much of the thinking around Democrats right now is that its largely based on the right wing assumption that Dems are just mindless NPCs with zero agency. A lot of Republicans are going to find out the hard way the next generation of Dems is not going to be as forgiving

There's also the fact many of the candidates DSA/leftists are pushing either hold abhorrent views (Chevalier and her opinions on Ukraine and interracial relationships) or show signs of being bad people (Platner). Some of us don't want such people steering the party, @narosenblum.bsky.social.

There is also the obvious problem that this is going to be an absolute nightmare to properly enforce and age verification systems tend to be incredibly easy to cheat if you know what you are doing. Remember how the 18th Amendment getting rid of alcohol didn't solve crime it just made things worse.

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov, Gov Whitmer et al: from here on the ground we cannot tell who was sent here for 250 and who wasn’t, they are all just occupying forces

Translation: "I wonder why I am so virtuous and why those why disagree with me are deeply wounded and morally obtuse?" No farcically amplified nnarcissism happening here, move on!

Good Lord. This is like, Politics 101. He wants to rub it in your face that he doesn't have to be remotely decent; voters will still come out for him in November. I wonder if he really believes it.

Again with the fallacy claiming opposing Trump is the only thing Democrats are offering. Democrats have always had a good policy agenda and leftist DSA clowns are the ones who keep dismissing Democratic plans because to the DSA, the perfect is always the enemy off the good.

This is indeed the case and it's perhaps not gotten as much attention as it should. The lower courts are bordering on open mutiny to an unprecedented degree, and it's not just Democratic appointees. The Supreme Court's perceived legitimacy is in freefall *within the federal judciary.*

Very probably the best photo I've ever taken of a 16th Century dovecote with a cow standing in front of it, surrounded by buttercups, looking like she has just dropped a debut album she is thoroughly proud of.

okay so again, its the *right* of every AMERICAN to spend their money lobbying on issues they care about, this is not *bribery* and its not foreign but implying Jewish Americans are foreigners using their money in underhanded and illegal ways is you know antisemitic.

Trump is doing us the favor of showing us everything we don't want. Was there a problem with fireworks nights? No. This is all an intentional cycle of Trump's inability to brook civic criticism leading to a crackdown demanding that everything suck because Trump is sad that everyone hates him.

Every day it's like "Republican-Appointed Supreme Court to Decide Whether the FDA Can Stop People From Selling Ground Glass as Flour"

Keep making up people to get mad at. That'll make things better.

President Biden imposed sanctions on illegal settlers. Donald Trump, who has an illegal settlement in the Golan Heights named for him, lifted sanctions on illegal settlers during the first week of his term. We are supposed to believe there was no difference between them on this issue.

AGAIN: The VAST majority of his "fraud" claims are utter horseshit. Blog post coming soon.

The big issue with left-wing antisemitism, and the reason it's vital to discuss this and root it out, is that it completely invalidates every single left-wing argument about inclusivity, diversity, morality, and principles. Why would anyone trust anything else you say if you allow and excuse this?

the thing that's annoying about this is that they just *had* the option to "condemn socialism", it was called the promise to america, and less than 5% of elected house members (and zero senators) chose to sign it

A mess made in seconds can take decades to clean up.

Yes. Frankly, it's very Trumpian. "And now, we end on a cliffhanger. Tune in next week to the Johnny Roberts' Judicial Power Hour!"

I don't disagree but "SCOTUS is on the ballot" was a message going back years and it did not matter.

Food Truck Mafia sounds like a crappy Food Network reality show but this article is unhinged

The Supreme Court set the stage today for the next Democratic President to fire every single Trump appointee across the federal government on Day One. I assume there won’t be any complaints.

Congress "could commandeer" agencies? Wth does that even mean? Congress *created* the agencies, sets out their mission and authorities in statute, and appropriates money to do or to not do specific things. Whatever it is, it aint the US Constitution.

As I write here, it's totally incoherent to immunize the president from prosecution on the theory that he can be held accountable through the political process — and then to suppress the information that might allow Congress and the public to actually hold him accountable.

This is bad www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Avid golfer here. Had the privilege of playing East Potomac Golf Links this spring, and it's fine just how it is. It's one of like two or three public courses in DC. I would be livid if I lived there and had to watch this active theft of a great public resource in my backyard.

What a fucking asshole. This @thrasherxy.bsky.social person makes shit up, w no evidence, that Dems don’t want to talk to constituents. No fucking clue that most Dem electeds do a _ton_ of public events. Challenged on it, they block. What a dishonest coward.

I was a teenage concert promoter, and I booked Count Basie to play my high school auditorium (which was really nice) to raise money toward marching band uniforms. #BlazingSaddles #TCMParty

the destruction of ODNI, burning an entire generation of CIA recruits, redirecting FBI to beat cop delusions, and all the other things i'm probably forgetting is a genuinely frightening confluence of factors

This show was a balm for my soul at a very sad time. It's very Robin Hood.

This is pretty amazing. And just … wow. It makes Ace In the Hole look like Pollyanna.

See where you helped make a difference in communities across the world this week🌎 (1/2)

I have retired from the gentrification-discourse posting wars to get candidates who want to legalize sixplexes and build big buildings on public land, with very little public input, elected to office.

Folks.

This is not a movement that can even remotely go the distance. We have to persevere, there will be more hardship and heartache to come, but we can absolutely outlast these people (what few of them there are).

One of the most nefarious effects of the far-right conspiratorial bullshit about supposed persecution of Afrikaners is it obscures that the actual viscerally dangerous racism in SA right now unites Black and White racists in hatred of non-SA African immigrants, especially Zimbabweans + Mozambicans.

Siri, what is the Supreme Court? [Also, what was the United States House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol?]

—Turn on a Sunday talk show. —Pundit says NYC election results will "make it much harder for H Jeffries to govern [if Dems win]....Sets up big divide on who 2028 nominee will be." —Turn off TV. (Midterms still to come. We'll see about nominee next year. NYC never bellwether for USA. Etc.)

Dems had their chance to impeach Trump and they didn’t even tr… Oh, wait. Well, they should have impeached him that second time, & they didn’t even tr… Oh, wait…

Sorry, folks, fair's closed - algae out front should have told ya...

I'm just sad Rob Reiner isn't here to see Trump's fake arch.
