@markwarner.bsky.social you are vice chair of the senate select committee on intelligence iirc, what is your opinion of this?

"eric adams" is a character from the always sunny universe. he is not real and can't hurt you

I’m glad ICE released Steve Held, who they grabbed last night in Broadview. Now, the government must stop trying to deport journalist Mario Guevara, the Atlanta journalist who ICE targeted in retaliation for his immigration coverage.

Extremely strong agree. Bureaucracy and rational-legal forms of authority are necessary conditions for any politics other than domination/

it's just sad at this point, man. an old man pining for a past that no longer exists.

Most people who write about politics, right or left, have internalized the concept of the Trump supporter as the authentic american Volk and so many of their conclusions proceed from that bsky.app/profile/qjur...

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

We’re losing not because Trump is popular and strong but because the opposition is obsessed with finding clever tricks to win his voters by talking about unrelated things, rather than talking about the only thing that matters right now, which is how bad he is.

Easy, enjoy your bill kristol lead struggle session re-education through labor program, attendance of all college republicans mandatory

The black pill is that big swathes of labor felt this way as well. This is why I say end the tariffs on day one. Any political theory that says otherwise thinks the 90% of labor that keeps their jobs will vote out of solidarity for the other 10% despite their McStuff getting way cheaper, which, lol.

Never talk to me or my Large Adult Truck ever again

this is actually extremely good. comey is an absolute nightmare defendant. there is very nearly no one else less likely to be harmed or more likely to snag in their teeth

What’s next? Calley posthumously being awarded the DSC? The excusal of atrocities during conflict is a pillar of MAGA national security.

Ireland is just a smol bean country that wants to be the world’s biggest tax shelter while the RAF defends their airspace.

Yes, this is why the “they’re not groyper” fixation also misses the target because it is only a technicality. This *is* postmodern fascism at its heart. 20th century fascism was a result of industrial capitalism meeting nationalism while this the result of consumerism meeting racialized nihilism.

Trump, pounding shoe: "We will bury ourselves!"

Not breaking any new ground here but it is really remarkable what an aggressively dishonest & cynical person she is without any real interests beyond maintaining her own privilege.

Actually Existing antifa supersolider

find me another Dem that wouldn't be too afraid to do this. seriously.

I agree it’s good to convert voters. The thing that DC Dems can’t seem to get into their thick skulls is that kumbaya listening sessions convert no one. What converts people is creating a social penalty for stupid beliefs and ideas

The “reasonable compromise” was the status quo: a 6th grader can play whatever they want, some hormone treatment requirement for someone who might go to the Olympics. The Republicans want to change this, and the specific change they want is on demand genital inspections for K-12 girls sports

people who talk about going to No Kings protests in terms of how to avoid getting kettled or black-bagged are Blue Sky’s version of men who talk about how they won’t go to a large city without a handgun and seventeen personal defense items

You want slaves

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

do not fucking scare the hoes. by the hoes, i mean old ladies who listen to npr. stop scaring them

all sane people who do not want everything to suck forever must yell at anyone saying anything that sounds scary to a retired unitarian teacher in Wisconsin when it does not need to

The US president saying "Comedians and the news are not allowed to criticized me" should be giant front-page news in every outlet in America, by the way. It's him repudiating the First Amendment and the Constitution. Unambiguously and clearly.

Harvey Milk and Medgar Evers...both assassinated for their beliefs...were actual veterans unlike career podcaster Charlie Kirk and Hegseth is actively scraping their names off anything he can.

Bluesky is wild man...

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

Do not come up with excuses to get out of jury duty. It’s a democratic right and we need people of conscience and integrity serving on juries now more than ever.

sorry but at some point you have to stop being concerned about appearing cool and detached and actually start believing in things, even if it means defending the rights of stupid people like jimmy kimmel

Gotta make immigration courts into Article III courts, or at least Article I magistrates under the supervision of district court judges.

Far more dangerous than Trump, I think, is how quickly the last eight months have pulled back the curtain on America's elites and shown everyone how venal, how cowardly and how utterly mediocre the foundation of our society has been.

I refuse to normalize “the Civil Rights Act was bad” and anyone who does is morally bankrupt, left right or center.

the essential problem with what Ezra Klein wants is that he wants the conversation about What To Do About The Negro Question to be a polite discussion between himself and the Klan

If the rules of business you followed brought you to this, of what use were the rules? 7 lessons about SaaS sales I learned from failure:

Congratulations Bill Cassidy you fucking dipshit moron

Read Essence of Decision recently and it's interesting how preoccupied JFK was with "being a tojo" (i.e. the dishonor he would bring on the US by launching a preventive strike on Cuba) A tendency completely buried by history as we blow up boats full of unarmed people in international waters

you’re not edgy, you’re not cool, you’re not helping save everyone, you’re an immature baby and the wine moms who are taking email signups will save the country while you stay home posturing

"Don't sign up for a protest" is a thing to think about if you're planning to do illegal shit. Putting your name and email on a mass, planned, permitted demonstration is a zero marginal risk if you are already politically involved, and a de minimis risk if you're not.

Rather than seeing this as a political project, I would suggest it's better to see this as a reflection of an economy increasingly centered around the extremely niche emotional needs of people with billions of dollars to spare...

No real reason to do this unless you want to drive Black soldiers out of the armed forces.

Groups like @indivisible.org want you to RSVP so that they can contact you about future events, ask for donations, etc. This is called "organizing" and it's how mass political movements work. Please don't listen to mentally ill people on the internet who think they're in the Red Army Faction.
