what I'm hearing

We watched totally different movies if your takeaway was that everything would turn out all right. It's bleak. (I saw it in the 80s in junior high. Would you rather die in the initial attack or survive and potentially die of radiation sickness? What a fun debate for 7th graders!)

I don't know if @slotkin.senate.gov has ambitions beyond this term or the Senate, but this whole the Midwest knows best schtick of hers is killing any chance of broadening her appeal. I'm from IN and I'm good with "coastal" ideas like govt FOR the people and BY the people. That's all they want.

Making an uncomfortable point again: why is Platner's history not being treated at *least* as equivalently as Joe Biden having a bad debate night? Because we rushed to replace him as a Democratic candidate over this issue... but we're allowing a Democratic candidate with this history because...

Pittsburgh, City Paper is BACK! You thought we were dead and gone, didn’t you? So did I. But to be honest, only very, very briefly. Today, we're thrilled to announce to yinz that Pittsburgh City Paper is coming back, baby! www.pghcitypaper.com/news-2/pitts...

Primary every last one of these warmongering dicks that abdicated their responsibilities to paper over this blatantly unconstitutional act of war. A Dem that carries water for MAGA is just MAGA with a D after their name.

Wait, THIS is young Anton Chekhov? This? Good lord. Let that gun go off, daddy

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Fundraiser time for the Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center warming shelter. I'll donate $1 for everyone who reposts this. And if you quote-post this with the amount you donated, I'll match it. www.miwrc.org/donate

Please read this thread and sit with it. The amount of negative self-talk I hear from my students daily is heartbreaking and a direct reflection on what they hear and see in our world. I spend some days not teaching the objective, but just making sure they know they aren't a burden & are important.

More reaction to Maduro’s “arrest”

So are most of the @housedemocrats.bsky.social going to make a statement soon condemning the kidnapping of a head of state or nah?

What the--and I mean this most sincerely-- is the actual fuck wrong with you? Trump called it a war, which can only be authorized by Congress. You think "demanding answers" is the appropriate response, not introducing impeachment articles? You are abdicating your duty.

@fetterman.senate.gov why are you okay with our tax dollars going to GOP senators for bogus lawsuits related to Jan 6? Did you not read the bill? Did you not care?

Why? Sarah Kendzior is one of the main reasons I moved here. If you're going to just be Twitter-lite than there's no point in staying. You can't suspend an account of her magnitude and expect it to go unnoticed and unchallenged @jay.bsky.team @aaron.bsky.team @support.bsky.team

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

While I’m at it: You guys know what to do!! youtu.be/jPCJIB1f7jk?...

The Replacements. (The Matrix isn't even in my top ten.)

The way you square low party favorables with an okay generic ballot and very strong special election performance is that the Democratic base is ready to crawl over broken glass to oppose Republicans and furious at party leadership for not feeling the same.

If you change this to the steel mill, it's not that far off.

I don't know who's in charge of the #Hulu algorithm, but the fact I had to use the search function to find #MidCenturyModern is evidence they're asleep at the wheel. This should have been front and center based on my viewing.

Tried to call @johnfetterman.com to ask him to vote no on the CR. The line goes dead and now the call won't go through at all. I've been calling DC offices for a decade and never had an issue getting to the voicemail.

Ron Howard FTW 🎯
