If all you're willing to do is say "We're cooked" on a social media site, maybe it is all over. If you're willing to struggle alongside your friends and neighbors for democracy, then we've got a chance.

This says it all.

HAHA! For the 3rd guess I thought, there's NO WAY it's gonna be that word but I'll try it for the lulz. Ha! Wordle 1,667 3/6* 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This sign reminds me of a story of my redheaded, very North Dakota sister-in-law at the start of the Iraq war. An 8 YO boy in the grocery store was chanting, "I wanna kill some Iraqis!" She looked at him and said, "I'm Iraqi. Kill me."

It's so powerful how all the voices fill up the whole space.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

MEN. IT IS MEN BEHIND GROK. IT IS MEN MAKING THE PROMPTS / REQUESTS TO REMOVE CLOTHING FROM WOMEN AND CHILDREN. GROK IS NOT SENTIENT. IT IS MEN WHO CODED THE PROGRAM AND IT IS MEN MAKING THE REQUESTS.

I *strongly* disagree with this take. Trump IS a lame duck, that's the law. We lose sight of that fact at our peril. The people in the media are doing many things very badly, but reinforcing the truth of this point is absolutely a good thing for them to do.

The Democrats are going to bipartisan the U.S. into the grave.

impeach him. try to do it once a month, if necessary. build the case over and over to not just the American people but to the world that this isn’t the way things should be here, that this isn’t the way we should use our power abroad.

This insane asshole has been doing nothing but crimes since the day he took office, you're the only branch of government with the power to remove him and you're not even going to try because it might not work? Why are you even there? To feel important and do insider trading?

Seems way too optimistic atm, but 2026 has a long way to go so we'll see.

Happy New Year, Sydney! 😍❤️

One of the right wing's top cultural initiatives was trying to destroy the idea that assholery deserves shame and we'll have to reverse that. "I'm just expressing an opinion I'm entitled to." Ok but you're an asshole. "I'm simply doing a business practice that technically isn't illegal." Ok. Asshole

The mildest, most reasonable reaction to this behavior must be to pursue criminal charges against these people to the furthest extent the law allows and to lock them up for as long as legally possible.

I do believe in hell. It isn't a separate place happening after death. It exists on Earth & in people's lives right now. People make their own hells. Trumps whole existence — how he thinks/sees the world — is a perfect model of hell & he lives in it every moment. This post will haunt me always.

there is one and only one political strategy, and that is: “hang trump like an anchor around the neck of every single elected republican and the party itself.” no ‘friends across the aisle.’ no ‘the fever will break.’ anyone not on board with that has to go. no exceptions

whole thread YES. but this post especially!

Yes, yes and even more yes. newrepublic.com/article/2046...

@2urbles.bsky.social this is a thing we both need to know about and now we are blessed with The Knowledge of it

It's a great tribute to Rob Reiner that my dad, who was proudly indifferent to any music other than classical and thought Johann Sebastian Bach was second only to God, saw This Is Spinal Tap and LOVED it.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

One thing I'm most proud of as a parent is that my kids know all about the Bonzo Dog Band. 💪

James Baldwin, Daedalus 89(2) 1960: "We are in the middle of an immense metamorphosis here, a metamorphosis which will, it is devoutly to be hoped, rob us of our myths and give us our history." Is this not the text @esglaude.bsky.social teaches so often on TV?

James Baldwin: "We are very cruelly trapped between what we would like to be, and what we actually are. And we cannot possibly become what we would like to be until we are willing to ask ourselves just why the lives we lead on this continent are so empty, so tame and so ugly."

Brilliant. 👏

We've been looking, looking, looking for that thing for a decade now. 🫩

It's one thing I truly loathe about these assholes (who dominate our politics & culture now). They can't tolerate something good & pure *existing*. Even if it's no bother to them, no bother to anyone, they can't tolerate it. Nothing can live outside their control, their narrow boxes, their fear.

How are they not describing it as a hostage negotiation with a psychopath who is happy to kill the hostages?

Maybe I should emigrate to Australia and claim refugee status since my government is trying to kill me.

These politicians aren't in disarray. They fucking hate you. They don't work for you.

The thing mainstream conservatism is trying to conserve is unassailable cultural, economic, and political supremacy for white landowning christian men. Its inevitable conclusions are subjugation, oppression, corruption, slavery, and genocide.

😲 but also 😂 but also 😜

Stripping the power and therefore wealth of American oligarchs is a necessary step to restoring US democracy and building a better society.

Good things are possible and we don't have to settle.

States need to sue Trump into the ground over this. Hopefully that will stick a shiv into the bogus "immunity for official duties" non-doctrine b/c there's no way this can be passed off as official duties. Ofc SCOTUS will try to make it just that, so we will need to go nuclear on their asses. 😡

Really, what else is there to say? 👏

You can curse daylight saving time, daylight saving, daylight savings, daylight savings time, and/or daylight time. All are considered acceptable so go off.

fact check: true!

The Republican 2/3rds of the Supreme Court are our enemy.
