@arimelber.bsky.social The year 2000 was last century. 2001 is the first year of the 21st century.

Yup.

Funny shit here.

I ended up turning this into a little bit of a thread, because I sincerely want to understand why so many of the people who could do something about this endless parade of horrors are choosing to enable and endorse it all through inaction.

One fine day, sooner or later, all the secrets will seep or tumble out. On that day decent folks will be stunned these traitors were even more horrible than we ever imagined.

Live your life in a way that the entire planet won’t rejoice when you’re gone….and everyone knows who we’re talking about. 😡

You've been conned.

Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?

Wallace: “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” says the guy who’s still talking about his 2020 election loss.

I hate that the thanks for donating to a Democratic candidate is having my phone number sold on a list to a hundred other campaigns, all of whom send me passive-aggressive texts asking for my donation, often weirdly attempting a guilt trip, as though I knew them. I really don’t like that.

We are living in the dumbest timeline

Oh, yay said no one ever.

Why in the hell am I not seeing current posts? When I log on here I see things that are 5 or 6 hours old rather than seeing real time. I've tried tweaking my settings but evidently am an idiot so how do I fix this?

He won't, but you are correct. He should resign. This job is just too big for this man.

Yes, and I for one appreciate you for it.

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Damn, these look good!

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Tbh, I think crashing the economy to distract us all from Signal-gate is taking things too far.

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Exactly: yes, money can influence elections, and yes, so can propaganda and vote suppression and gerrymandering. But amazing what you can overcome when people just show up.

True.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Just posting some art.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

must rock being a cybertruck guy. every time you pull up it’s like beep beep make way for the Ambassador of Divorce

😜😜😜

What an incredibly incompetent clown. Maybe he should have thought about the (patently obvious) effect of tariffs on the auto industry *before* imposing them? He’s like a monkey on a keyboard.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

And, just like that, the shining city on the hill has become a seedy Atlantic City casino, morally and patriotically bankrupt.

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union. I disagree. They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber. It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.

and there it is

This looks like a cross between a wolf, a bat and a deer. I'm a cretin, I know, but it's kinda what happens when you get to the bottom of the Lego bin.

Nope.

Here is some more truth: it's ridiculous that Liz Cheney has to remind us of this. I am beyond horrified by our current administration.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Oops @meidastouch.com

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

LMAOOO who did this

One of the all time greats imo
