Okay so the thing about this is that hanging out and having nice dinners with people who literally served under Adolf Hitler during World War II in the Waffen SS is not equivalent to being polite to your grandfather who voted Trump because you don't want to get into an argument.

1) For someone who claims he cares a lot about democracy in America Jason Stanley sure seems unwilling to fight for it. 2) For someone who fled America at the start of the year to escape the fascism Jason Stanley sure seems to feel the urge to pretend he just fled yesterday.

Jason Stanley's publicist is as good as or even better than the natalist glasses couple's publicist

He said this shit and then he ran

Pretend this is Biden, @jaketapper.bsky.social.

The Keeping Out Worthless Academics Act

i am in favor of banning jason stanley — and specifically jason stanley — from ever re-entering the united states.

There’s no better way to honor Speaker Emerita @pelosi.house.gov than through the words of our future Speaker of the House @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: “Her tenure has been legendary, Iconic, historic, and transformational.” You have been the G.O.A.T., Madame Speaker! 💙🇺🇸 #ThankYouNancy

Fleeing fascism to a 2/2 teaching load with TA support and relying on [checks notes] an imaginary line on a map to protect you from the most powerful military in the history of mankind.

lol

Again, not to say full backsliding is inevitable, but it will happen, and it takes work to guard against it when it does. And that’s what a liberal state is supposed to do. Not forever change the hearts of men, but build structures to help shore things up when hearts falter.

I have never wanted hell to be real before

I repeat:

FIFA has the chance to do the funniest thing. Just give it to Obama.

So he isn't afraid to use the F-word when talking about T***p but he IS afraid to stick around and fight the F-word. "I'm A Fucking Coward by Jason Stanley" is a weird flex, even for the dumpsterfire MJ has made of itself.

It's so especially infuriating that the mass of cruel, insecure failure that is the Trump administration is seen as proof that the gender more supportive of it is the rational one and not the one that should maybe lose the franchise.

This is a well written documentation of Molly’s account of the sandwich guy trial. It’s really worth your read and share and support of lawfaremedia. She draws sharp parallels to the 60’s and the rebellious nature in us all that is justified today as we stand up to bullies. Bravo Molly

i don’t study fascism and i’m not fucking leaving, this country belongs to us, not them, fuck you

Me when I see Jason Stanley:

would be kinda surreal if the wheels start coming off all because the administration thought that senate dems would roll over again

Progress will always induce backlash because it necessarily involves a change in social status. Combine this with human moral frailty—the love of ease and the love of domination—and you have permanent forces against freedom and equality.

I think a lot of people would like to leave the U.S. right now, but I’m not sure taking an endowed chair at a major foreign institution is “fleeing.”

I have said privately that while I don’t necessarily begrudge anybody who chooses to leave the US, but A. That is tremendously privileged and b. I do think we have to be very skeptical about giving them roles in the country once we defeat fascism simply because they didnt stand and fight

When this regime falls, we're going to need an army of pitiless, ruthless forensic accountants skilled as skilled in the use of flaying knives as financial records.

Mockler: The fundamental fact is that things are getting worse for Americans. Over the past nine and a half months or so, Donald Trump has continually claimed that we are in a golden age of America, that we brought in $18 trillion via tariffs…

I guess he found he's safe enough to fly in and out from Pearson, then?

he keeps saying this, it makes no sense as an intentional lie, and I have no idea why he thinks it's true

Osita Nwanevu is a bad political analyst whose opinions are echoed by people who repeat to themselves over and over that Trump is easy to beat and only dem incompetence lets him win bc they can’t face the fact that huge numbers of Americans are fascist-curious bigots, so beating them is hard.

left out of the analysis here are the three main culprits in my opinion: the republican party, which these guys all treat like a force of nature; the media, of which osita is member, and the idiot electorate itself because god forbid you ever suggest the people can make a terrible decision

The key factor that everyone seems to always forget is that Trump was the host of what was once the highest rated show on network TV - a purportedly non-fiction show that portrayed him as a hyper-savvy and hyper-successful businessman.

I still wonder about the alternate universe where Martha Stewart won The Apprentice gig, and how things would have gone.

For all of Osita’s virtues, he’s a sad sack to who can’t get out of his own way.

His charisma is fundamentally incompatible with me (and likely many of the people on Bluesky) but it’s kind of insane to say it doesn’t exist

This is probably gonna be the whole White House in a few months

It's amazing how Trump pressed the "explode the global economy" button. Did Republicans not realize that Trump essentially killed Project 2025

Cottonwood Heights Mayor Mike Weichers conceded to KSL today, State Rep Gay Lynn Bennion is officially the next mayor and has flipped the city BLUE ksltv.com/local-news/c...

Per a polling memo sent to donor’s after last night’s wins, the Senate Democrats main Super-PAC it is expanding it’s focus to more aggressively target Texas, Iowa, Ohio, and Alaska. We are fucking back

National Democrats ramp up pressure on blue states to redistrict after big wins

I'd missed this: Democratic-endorsed candidates *swept* the 6 school board races in Mecklenburg County, one of North Carolina's largest counties (home to Charlotte). This means there won't be a Republican on the board anymore; the sole GOP incumbent was ousted.

Where’s the think pieces of Republicans needing to be less weak and woke to win back latinos

btw the Downballot’s special election tracker is now showing a D+14.4% swing from 2025, putting us at around a D+13 implied National environment as I always point out even if you want to take off 5 points for whatever reasoning you have, that’s still D+8!

Besides naming dropping Iowa, Texas, and Alaska Senate races House Majority PAC is going to aggressively target Chucks Edwards, Huizenga, and Whitman(but he getting drawn out lol). Luria also going to run against Kiggans again

Dem candidate in the TN07 specials(R+22) is airing TV ads as well. Tax cut for billionaires, Tariffs, healthcare costs, and Epstein all mentioned youtu.be/JjznC6xlYrE?...

Its always been pretty clear MTG wasn’t a true believer in MAGA and was saying batshit stuff to get their favor(which is worse!) but her sudden heel turn is almost certainly because Trump wouldn’t let her for statewide office in Georgia with a coronation

Trvth Nuke

Whiplash how fast they went from sadistic triumphalism to pants pissing

Gotta hand it to em @democrats.org this is good
