A decomposing president who is easily fooled and is only running on his cruel and self-serving instincts is the ideal puppet of the wealth and oligarchical classes interested in dismantling government and requiring widespread oppression to continue hoarding resources.

It's all so incredibly stupid.

I am a woman who joined the Let’s Rethink Chicks Having The Right To Vote Party and I am concerned they do not take me completely seriously, somebody please help me

It's hard to pick from the rogues gallery of murderous ideas, but sometimes I feel the most dangerous thing about modern conservatism is its transparent desire to destroy the fabric of truth in daily life.

A soft, small, hopeful thing.

This is false. Reagan corruption didn’t end when Reagan left. Bush corruption didn’t leave with Bush II. Trumpisn won’t just fade away. This stuff stays around and fucks everything up because Democrats are too cowardly or lazy or both to purge it.

It's just... it's torture porn invented for school shooter types. The agents are acting out this alienated incel fantasy of being able to pluck perceived enemies from public space and roughly, physically demean and ritually humiliate them in front of a live audience of passers-by.

This entire thread.

Here is @vaquero2xl.bsky.social with his latest @thelatinonewsletter.org story: United States to Order a Year’s Worth of Food for Troops in Puerto Rico More at TheLatinoNewsletter.org

Amen.

As I said last week on VIBE CHECK, we’re told when it comes to family during the holidays that we should protect the peace, but who is the peace protecting?

The sheer power wielded by a freshly retouched platinum blond over middle-aged journalists and politicos must be studied by science

I appreciate the reporting AND I want everyone to stop using criminal records as a stand in for whether people should or should not be harassed and deported.

my god this is hilarious. "Yes, thank you for taking my question. What do you think is currently the best way to show our loyalty to Maximum Leader Donald Trump?"

THANK YOU!! Excited to read this paper. Polarization is an unsatisfying concept that confuses more than it explains.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I found a flowchart which helps you navigate the IT landscape

“AI is here to stay” from the visionaries who brought you “NFTs are the future.”

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).

KOTOR, no question. That was such an awesome game and I'm sad younger people have never experienced it.

Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time you’re in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

I don’t know why everyone is talking about Star Wars today but let’s just rewatch this. “It’s here and it’s not visiting anymore.”

They truly believe this! Like when they arrest a noncitizen who committed a crime years ago and has been out of prison for a decade, they put out a press release claiming they saved the public from a serious threat, even if the person has been law-abiding for years and is a random ex-con doing well.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Now do Fascism. Interested to see the numbers.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Republicans are bad people with weird beliefs and disgusting values.

We said the same during the Iraq war and then they just rewrote history and everyone gave them a pass

I guess this was always going to be the endgame.

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures

AI is like this giant fucking boat we all were forced to get on, and it's a boat they stole, and also it barely floats, and also it's not going anywhere good. So it either takes us somewhere we hate, or it fucking sinks, so either way, fuck AI.

I am so disgusted by him and the stupid people who think he's great and the cynical people propping him up. He is a national embarrassment. He makes me ashamed to be American. Fuck him forever. I wish hell were real and men like him faced consequences.

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

And here it is. Hillary Clinton lost because of sexism. Kamala Harris lost because of racism and sexism. And yet we need to hash endlessly over this and write concerned and complicated opinion pieces when the basics are quite simple.

I hope Alice’s memory is never sanitized. She supported free Palestine. She believed in deep pleasure for disabled people, sexual, aesthetic & otherwise. She was unflinching in calling out people’s bullshit. Don’t let the mainstream turn her into some desexualized defanged inspiration porn!!!

Sharing again because AI sucks.

The room is almost all elephant. Almost none of it isn’t. Pretty much solid elephant. So there’s no room to talk about it. -Kay Ryan, “The Elephant in the Room” #everynightapoem

Shutdown fight shows the basic cunning of the default GOP move: never give Dems an inch, no matter how unpopular our position, and wait for them to fracture. www.offmessage.net/p/epstein-re...

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

me: it would be great if good things happened occasionally Senator I voted for: you idiot. you fool

Why is the Chicago PD aiding and abetting Trump's Gestapo @mayorofchicago.bsky.social ?

The easiest political layup for Democrats in recent memory. That’s even compared to a lot of other easy layups.
