Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots. I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to get through this thing called racism...

i think it would help my mental health a lot if i had a big red button on my wall -- like, a frisbee-sized button -- that played Ante Up throughout my home every time i pressed it

The existence of this agency, staffed the way it is today, is just completely incompatible with a democratic society.

This being BlueSky I assume five fellow audiophiles are also Deeply Into this one. STILL!

CONFUSED AND DEMENTED DONNY TACO'D AGAIN, GETTING PLAYED BY NATO AND GREENLAND — MAKING A DEAL THAT GETS HIM NOTHING. IT'S THE ART OF THE IMAGINARY DEAL! I LAY IT OUT IN A POST THAT HAVE MANY SAYING "SIR! SIR! YOU HAVE ALL THE BEST WORDS!" THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS LINK: bit.ly/3YOFg2a

Another great piece from @elienyc.bsky.social “Trump will lose this case because he’s trying to mess with something the Supreme Court thinks is important. I wish we all could be so lucky as to appear valuable to John Roberts and the Supreme Court.”

I understand the impulse to distance yourself from American history. I do. But the atrocities are the actual normal for many communities. And until we confront them as part of a baseline societal flaw and address why they keep happening, they will not stop. They will just continue to shift targets

Yeah, Democrats, I’m pretty sure you can run on “We’re going to abolish the agency that’s snatching up and traumatizing GODDAMN 5-YEAR-OLD LITTLE ANGELS!!!l” and win, you weak-kneed chumps. www.startribune.com/preschooler-...

BREAKING: BlueSky Leftists Have Drowning Pool On Standby

i’ve dared to dream too many times

Imagine hating yourself so much you let JV Dance nut inside you repeatedly

We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.

I'm not saying it's perfect here on bsky dot app but we got college football talk, couple different flavors of smart people having good conversations about smart things, crazy-ass heartwarming(?)/terrifying(?) live blog, pretty decent jokes, some good on-the-ground stuff; things are all right

I really hope this IU win closes the portal to the dark place the Cubs opened in 2016

a very unfortunate dynamic this administration has is that the more unpopular and weak they become the more damage they will do, because it is the only move they have they are flailing but they’re going to do astounding amounts of damage on the way out even if we somehow avoid the worst case

verbal assaults or, as we generally call them, constitutionally protected speech

I put myself through the entire interview. Trust me when I tell you that Gavin "dank memes" Newsom agrees with him on EVERYTHING. I literally says "I agree with you" on EVERYTHING. Ben "extremely unpopular even with MAGA" Shapiro gets very combative with him and Gavin capitulates EVERY time.

Average Sunday show interview: OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats HOST: how will you pay for it? OFFICIAL: tariffs HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed HOST: thank u for ur time

The point here is to believe people when they tell you who they are. Gavin Newsom hangs out with Republicans because he likes hanging out with Republicans. This isn't 4-D chess. He wants to hang out with Ben Shapiro and Steve Bannon. When he says he agrees with them on things, it's because he does.

When Democrats folded in the last government shutdown—rescuing the GOP majority from itself and helping them pass a budget, giving validation to the Trump administration’s lawbreaking—the savvy politics knowers explained that folding was clearly worth it because it got the Epstein Files released.

Sade is turning 26 again today so you know what time it is

Well that simpering statement from Tim Walz last night really worked well www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

we are still years out from the Democratic primary, and I think it is genuinely deranged that there’s people out there who believe there’s no other choice and thus we must rally around the flag of, all people, Gavin Fucking Newsom to save the republic

Roses are red Nazis are lurking Beware of them here because

You aren't actually overreacting other people are sleepwalking.

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way. Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

"What we’re seeing right now from Donald Trump is a full-on authoritarian takeover of the U.S. government. This is not hyperbole."

1. He wants to 2. It’s plausible he’ll try 3. His people would support it 4. But it’s vastly harder and more complicated than people are suggesting and can’t be done by his fiat

This is the dynamic across most of America: Liberal cities generate revenue, which state governments then transfer to benefit conservative rural areas, whose residents despite city-dwellers and consistently vote to harm them. But politicians endlessly pander to rural voters and demonize cities.

The People will stand up. I want the elected officials to help them out, on the ground, instead of being scared pussies

Real ones know.

As a black person in America I find the assertion that suddenly we gotta cool our jets when the murder was caught on video super funny. Even Luigi was arrested faster than this.

As the yutes say, lol. Lmao, even.

Trying to live my life so that when I die it’s a “pour one out for a real one” scenario over a “rest in piss” situation

Other people go have a drink after a loss like this but Aaron Rodgers is going to go out there and get measles

What's not written here is that Scott Adams did not undergo the standard prostate cancer treatment arc, but instead wanted to prove that IVERMECTIN CURES CANCER And all he proved is that IVERMECTIN DOES NOT CURE CANCER. This is, by far, the funniest thing Scott Adams has ever done.
