“Let them eat gasoline”

Regardless of intent, actions like this are an argument for dissolution of the union.

Yeah keep the shutdown going forever. Not paying for this

This noble amendment is written into the Constitution with the blood of the Civil War dead. To dispose of it on the whim of a decrepit madman is an act of disunion and treason.

One of the flaws in the logic here is that one side is actively trying to prevent so many of us from either living here or living at all. This assumes from the other side good faith and shared ideals that demonstrably aren't present.

This is not the safe course, it's a reckless gamble that the party will magically rebound from record unfavorable polling numbers by quietly helping Republicans fund their agenda and avoid a major electoral problem until just after the midterms.

Btw, “just compensation” for the government’s eventual seizure of these ill gotten gains is $0.

Seems that taxing them at 50% for state income tax is not the same as banning them.

The central dividing line in Democratic politics is not between the left and the moderate wing, it’s between serious people who understand we’re in an existential fight against an incipient fascist regime and irredeemable narcissists who just want to keep fighting the 2016 primary forever.

Really impossible to overstate how completely this guy has failed at every aspect of being an opposition leader over the past six months. Jeffries is a truly inspiring example for every soulless careerist who would rather be king of nothing than stand for anything decent in the world.

We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps

*Biden tries to forgive student loans* SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. *Trump revokes part of the constitution* SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

It is our duty as a free people to put our bodies on this machine and halt the movement of its gears.

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

Walked past Paul McCartney on Sixth Ave in NYC. Didn’t realize who it was until we made eye contact. I made a respectful head nod and kept walking.

A United States Senator has been thrown to the ground and put in handcuffs by federal agents for trying to question a cabinet official.

Dem senator: Please, protestors, there are better ways to oppose the president Voters: Like not voting for his nominees? Dem senator: haha no no no. No. What I mean is we are writing a rap

The Strokes at the Tabernacle in Atlanta (2006). Was front and center. A presumably drunk Julian Casablancas stood on the crowd control fence and fell into a group of teenage girls standing behind me. He crushed them. His security guard and I had to haul him out and toss him ...

Steven Miller will always shed a tear thinking about those brave boys at Normandy who gave their lives to try to stop the landing.

everyone involved in and supportive of this decision is a fuckin’ loser with no moral code or compass, and they will not see heaven

Brb, going to tell my kids to expect less dolls this Christmas because of Trump.

"I assume they preordered," gonna hit hard when we're facing soviet-style lines to pick up christmas toys.

hell isn't hot enough

The **only one** with the voice and juice for the moment

Neurodivergence is not a disease and this is not an "epidemic." It is genetic. As such, "eliminating autism" is, by definition, eugenics. It's an actual crime against humanity and what RFK is suggesting here should only be reported as such. bsky.app/profile/bran...

Are they trying to provoke a woke business plot

In honour of Hayao Miyazaki I've implemented the biggest update to the GenAI mute/block list in a few months. Clear your feed. Let me know of any missed accounts and any false positive I might have swept up. I'm not perfect and happy to review mistakes. bsky.app/profile/eidy...

The 25th amendment was made for when someone displays this level of mental fitness.

At different times of my life I’ve had the dishonor and now honor of being represented in the Senate by the record holder for the longest Senate floor speech. Times change.

Airplane safety/disasters

Truly untenable for views like this to come from Dem Senate leadership. Got to go.

These people are mass murderers.

@booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov voting no on cloture isn’t sufficient here. Leadership has to go. We aren’t moving on without a new direction for Senate Dems.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Cloture has met the 60 votes to pass in the senate with the help of at least 9 Democrats: Schumer, Fetterman, Hassan, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Gillibrand, Shaheen, Schatz, and Peters. They sold out our country to Trump and Elon. They're traitors to democracy.

these people swore an oath to defend the constitution but i guess that’s just too hard

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

2/ headfake me. That's really unforgivable. I think Senate Democrats are sowing the wind here in their relationship with their own voters.

I don't know who the Senate Ds were trying to fool here. If they decided that this wasn't worth fighting over OR that it was a fight they were destined to lose then just be clear about that. They got elected. I didn't. You didn't. But I don't like being lied to or having people try to ...

My favorites genres are:

Important to note that we’ll never live in a free democratic society if public corruption is legal. Any precedent standing in the way must be overturned by a new court majority, and we have to do what’s legally necessary to create that new majority.

This is treasonous.

These clowns in the WH are traitors to this country and to democracy in general.

Clown governor cozying up to fascists to help the small fraction of NJ residents who drive into Manhattan at the expense of literally everyone else. Pathetic.

Why would we abandon the prosperous, democratic nations of Europe, our allies for one hundred years, to "partner" with weak, poor Russia, a longtime adversary and dictatorship currently in the middle of an unprovoked invasion of a neighboring state? Treason. It's treason

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president
