ive seen the irishman 7 times (plus at least a few times where i started it then fell asleep)

is there any explanation as to why the states that will be most damaged by climate change are also the most hostile to remedies?

I'm not sure why "democratic candidates should model a positive vision for patriotism to the public" and "patriotism is slop for hogs" are presented as conflicting views

I’m calling for a moratorium on AI data center construction until we have strong guardrails in place. We need the highest standards in the country to prevent the kind of pollution, jacked up electricity rates, and abuse of communities that we’ve seen from data centers in other parts of the country.

He's officially lost the mandate of heaven

i grew up with such a big puppy

DC is, flatly, owed statehood after what they have been through under this man to make sure this shit never happens again

we brought the cat with us to my parents and she is very much enjoying having a whole house to explore instead of our little one bedroom apartment. shes having the time of her life rn

cat realizes we are packing bags and keeps causing mischief to stop us

it's not really important in the grand scheme of things, but finding out the 250th anniversary of the country was going to be a nation-wide party with infinite food and concerts in major venues and Trump canceled all of it so he could hire shady contractors and pocket the rest infuriates me so much.

AOC has changed the trajectory of American politics and inspired a generation to believe that government really can work for working people. I am deeply honored to earn her endorsement for US Senate. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/u...

This is cool (the first one especially)

Literally the Supreme Court upheld sodomy bans in 1986 and said homosexuality was worse than rape and nobody even talks about it

i didnt know that britain repealed the taxes on america in 1778

because the npc blocked anti-trump organizing, smc and groundwork jointly organized an anti-trump effort. like we literally sent people to canvass in swing states. the paragraphs about how we want trump to win are beyond idiotic socialismbeatsfascism.org

jonathan chait dunking on red star is stolen valor

ok Nashville is probably the best answer, but i think you could make a strong case for Casablanca (as an optimistic reading of what "america" is) or The Big Country (for a pessimistic reading of what "america" is)

Another Democratic Socialist is going to Congress! Congratulations to DSA member @melatkirosco.bsky.social! Congresswoman Kiros will take the fight for a better world to D.C: to Abolish ICE, free Palestine, and win Universal Childcare and Medicare for All.

There is now set to be at least eight democratic socialists in Congress. Melat Kiros – alongside Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Chris Rabb – will join Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

i expected the sheep detectives to be about sheep solving crime, but i didnt except it would also be about them solving sheep bigotry

We're really wasting the concept of a Great American State Fair because a REAL Great American State Fair would have fried foods even God didn't dare to imagine.

We’re currently fighting an initiative in Washington State that has genital exams as part of the enforcement mechanism. www.kuow.org/stories/tran...

AOC on her amendment to withhold offensive and defensive weapons to Israel: “I think after witnessing US-funded weapons help perpetuate genocide of Palestinians. I think that people want to see more accountability into where public taxpayer dollars are going.”

I'm so thankful to Becky and her mom for their trust, generosity, and strength in front of the Supreme Court. No matter what the Court says, Becky is a hero for standing up for herself and trans girls like her. Doing what's right, even when the odds are against you, is the definition of courage.

There are three things I think could truly break the country. War with another Western democracy, declaring citizenship can be arbitrarily stripped, and Boston Massacre 2. The fact the first two were narrowly avoided has caused a lot of people to think It Can Only Good Happen. I'm not convinced.

Kavanaugh's decision on trans people in sports contains a footnote saying it applies only to trans women, by the way. So trans women can be legally segregated (and his reasoning isn't limited to sports), but he explicitly says it doesn't apply to trans men in any gendered spaces at all.

We are swiftly headed for a society in which a trans kid must undergo state mandated torture, are banned from being on line, are banned from hanging out in most public spaces, are banned from using bathrooms at school, banned from accessing the health care they need, and banned from playing sports.

1/ Transgender Americans want the same things as every other American: the freedom to build a good life, earn a livable wage, and fully participate in their communities — including, for many, the camaraderie, discipline, and sense of belonging that come from sports.

he saw our mean posts and decided to stay on out of spite

My compromise on court reform is that the 6 conservatives get the possibility of parole after 25 years with good behavior

im really upset

the "susan collins is stopping communist china from taking over rural maine" ad is the most annoying one so far

This is an affirmatively good amendment by AOC

our cat has bad asthma, and every time she starts wheezing and we have to jump up and give her her medicine all i can think about is the scene from the insider where russell crowe has to run to put the asthma machine on his daughter

werwulf trailer looks incredible

had a terrible day and now the lamp just fell off the wall. why

Like idk I simply am not here for “everything is worse” when it is unimaginably better to be queer today than anyone born before 2000 could ever have dreamed

One of my favorite parts of Pride is seeing queer elders out and about enjoying things many of them did not get to do in their youth or could not do as safely as they can now (in Minneapolis at least)

Let’s fucking gooooooooo

Fun fact: John Fetterman begged for Pittsburgh DSA’s endorsement in 2018 and stormed out after being asked about the gun controversy.

It might be hot outside but the rent is freezing.

holy shit DSA gained 2,000 members in the last 24 hours

there is going to be an autocoup attempt if the Dems win Congress

when i die, i would like my gravestone to say "ranked choice voting does not eliminate the need for tactical voting"
