The fact that blue states were doing tit for tat gerrymandering at all is a big step in the right direction. The fact is that a lot of relatively centrist Dems are on board with something like Wyden’s court reform plan, sowething that seemed unthinkable in 2020 www.wyden.senate.gov/news/press-r...

⚡️ Putin's Transnistria passportization decree likely war recruitment tool, Moldova's president warns "Probably they need more people to send to the war in Ukraine," Moldovan President Maia Sandu said.

in spite of every administrative roadblock this is going to keep happening, and they can't stop it

lol

en esta economia??

couple of goofy goobers in richmond va 🥰🥰

and then the tumblrification will be complete

probably nothing to worry about

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

The funniest thing about the “fertility debate” is that it has an easy answer as far as America is concerned (let in more immigrants) but people are like that is neither racist nor misogynist enough

trump, i did not recognize your green new deal game

“election denier” describes someone who writes screeds on redstate or whatever about 2020 Tina Peters is a convicted felon for a material attempt to subvert democracy, in a proper country she would have been [TOS VIOLATION] years ago

Tina Peters is a criminal who attempted to suborn an American election. Jared Polis did not need to give her clemency, and there was no good reason to do so. A disaster. www.npr.org/2026/05/15/n...

seems bad and stupid

Spanberger signs bill to prohibit assault weapons, NRA and Virginia organizations sue

Thirty-six countries signed an agreement this week to establish the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine — informally known as the "tribunal for Putin." meduza.io/en/news/2026...

Put Kex Paxton in the contraption

NYU-Marron and @chittimarco.bsky.social rolling out a giant new visual guide and website — a “cookbook” — on interventions to make your Slow Bus Go FAST

Of course, the point of these contracts is not to build, but to bill. The Republican Party has failed to construct a fascist country but they will settle for stealing everything that isn't nailed down

I’m sorry but the Dems need to run on putting everyone from this administration and bureaucrats who enabled them in prison.

This week, the state’s Board of Housing and Community Development advanced a proposal to allow single stairways in four-story buildings, which some lawmakers and advocates say could unlock housing development on vacant or underutilized lots. virginiamercury.com/2026/05/15/v...

is this bad

My Dutch boyfriend just solved the age old gif versus jif debate by pronouncing it “hif” and now I don’t really know what to do

i gotta see a rothko in person one day

Weight in shape of frog Babylonian c. 2000–1600 BCE (Met Museum)

"got rich" is such a bizarre and dishonest way to frame a non-profit organization like splc

man i cannot do this again 🫩

Every time I open Bluesky,

I feel I should alert Bluesky to the baby foxes in our yard

It's funny that one glup shitto nonprofit will come up with the craziest wokespeak you've ever heard and 1000 Atlantic think pieces will be written about how this is why Dems lose but nobody will address that voters think "Crime" means "The number of homeless people I see"

Many people have a vested interest in pretending otherwise, but the US research university is globally dominant to an almost unbelievable degree. The typical state university is a football team stapled to a R&D lab with a budget bigger than the entire nation of Belgium.

this truly is the thing that makes the united states exceptional, and right wingers hate it so much they want to destroy it

all roads lead back to left beef no pizza

unfortunately it seems that abspan's recent veto requires Nuanced Discussion™️, something that neither this website wants or is capable of having

I am very tired of the stupid-savvy 'oh you think politicians were honest before Donald Trump' take, like yes there has in fact been a qualitative change in the way modern american politics have been conducted that is largely attributable to him, and is bad.

but nooooo kamala laughed funny once

The Trump administration wants to decrease a mother's allotments for fruits and vegetables from $52 to $13 a month.

i am 36 years old. i graduated college in 2013. why am i constantly told about the machinations of new york college kids

i don't even feel bad about using ai to write my cover letters anymore. just push them out man, grind through the aps system

Indistinguishable from 1870s Redeemer rhetoric about "Negro misrule" and the like.
