extremely cursed screenshot

Spanberger and Sherrill won by a lot more in much unfriendlier turf (and to be clear I don’t think they have the unique key to victory either, unless the key is “be anti-Trump as Trump destroys the country”)

frankly, yes, Cuomo ran the worst campaign of all time on top of being a disgraced sex creep Mamdani is exciting, his campaign was great, I like the guy, but just objectively I don’t think you can look at his campaign and assume it’s the template for future democratic electoral hegemony, right?

Look I like Mamdani too but he literally finished with the exact same vote share as Frey here in Minneapolis. Let’s not say he is the truth, the uncontested path forward, just yet. He’s a charismatic guy who got 50% in one of the most liberal places in America with a very progressive platform.

if you'd like a special little treat please google "dave portnoy tippy toes"

Is it a good graph?

‘Nancy Pelosi sucks’ Ok thanks for letting everyone know you have a neckbeard

No there’s other reasons people think you suck for celebrating the departure of arguably the hardest working and most effective Democratic politician of the last 40 years

When it’s your bsky anniversary Then When you remember why you jouned bsky

As I wrote in my Charlie Kirk essay: “The period since Kirk’s death has revealed a deeply unsettling cultural shift…espousing open and explicit bigotry no longer relegates one to the fringe of political discourse, a phenomenon we have not witnessed since the civil rights era.”

Phrenology doesn’t stop being bullshit when you do it to someone’s face

Not every idea is worth airing. Not every point of view is worth hearing. Not everything that "a lot of people believe" should be credentialed by homepage space. Would the NYT editorial board run "Did Homosexuals Ruin Culture?" or "Did Black People Get Too Big for Their Britches?" I guess we'll see.

oh my god shut the f--k up

You have been in Singapore (or Duterte's Philippines, or Bukele's El Salvador) for too long. Let me help you: Singapore is not a free society. America is. Move there if you want authoritarianism.

Just bought!

Friends, “Furious Minds” is out! @lkatfield.bsky.social wrote an important book - one that truly is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand the rightwing intellectual scene, the defining ideas on today’s extremist Right, and the ideological traditions they draw on. Please read:

Look at the death toll from the USAID shutdown and tell me to give a shit about protecting crypto owners.

The main thing to say to Nancy Pelosi at a time like this is "thank you."

In terms of marshaling votes, Pelosi was the most effective speaker in my lifetime.

Right wing want you to have more children (if you’re white) but also doesn’t want you to participate in the care of your children because that’s “spiritually gay,” whatever that means. Chat, is it gay to be a dad?

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.

It's like, come on now. Dude won 2 elections 8 years apart. He's touched a lot of nerves and built a cult following. It is a vast overstatement to say he's been carried entirely by happenstance and the errors of his opponents.

His charisma is fundamentally incompatible with me (and likely many of the people on Bluesky) but it’s kind of insane to say it doesn’t exist

why does RFK just zoom off instead of helping the dude

the leader of the department of health literally runs away everybody else rushes to the hurt guy and the Make America Healthy Again guy says "I gotta get outta here" let a hundred gifs bloom

Imagine having a medical emergency in a room with the highest health officials in the country—best place for it, right?—and it turns out the most qualified of them are RFK Jr. and fucking Dr. Oz

to be clear, when Cenk Uyger claims “Israel First” is “cancelling” Brett Cooper “for not calling others on the right ‘Nazis’” because “they’re trying to cancel anyone who doesn’t cancel others criticizing Israel”, he appears to be referring to Ted Cruz criticizing her for defending Nick Fuentes.

Sure, fuck it, why not @nytimes.com. Not the bosses, working conditions, or pay, but the women who've always been in the labor force. Blame them, I guess, that works.

We are gonna have mandatory re-education sessions.

as far as I can tell Cenk's main position is that anti-semites are his allies.

What will drive me nuts is an entire movement braying about meritocracy being driven forward by mediocrities who have never had a real job and whose sole achievement is being signal-boosted by a South African racist huckster.

Not that Islamophobia ever went away, but it's about to come roaring back on the right because of assholes like this:

Sometimes I check in on Joel Berry so I can read the worst thoughts that human beings are capable of.

Matt Walsh’s “As a man, I have never changed a diaper, and if you have you’re spiritually gay” take is a pretty apt summation of the New Right’s stance on men’s duty to take basic care of their family.

F*ck off. Here's the latest drivel from our boy Ross. The 'too many female vets' part made by head explode. "the feminization of veterinary medicine has not led to the collapse of society, and is unlikely to do so. I think it’s basically fine, but ——" www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/o...

meanwhile, cenk is defending the conservative zoomer e-girl

Feminized workplaces >>>

And people actually gave credit to pence for doing the absolute requires bare minimum of not participating in a coup

One underrated funny plot line from January 6 was Mike Pence being so dumb that he had to call up *Dan Fucking Quayle* to be like “gee Dan, Trump says I can just hand the election over to him on my own, does that seem right?”

Ross Douthat when he sees the most abhorrent idea you've ever heard:

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

looking forward to more hard-hitting journalism from the times like "Does the Negro Belong in the Modern Office?" and "Do Homosexuals Have a Place in Schools?"

Why does this column exist?

Ross Douthat watching Roger and Don harass women at Sterling Cooper:

Failure to define what "Woke" is count: 1

Literally the first thing Andrews does is admit that her project is entirely vacuous and derived backwards. Incredible stuff.

Okay yeah lets do it, because it is an interview with two conservative women, which I think is getting missed in some of the drive by dunks. This isn't just Ross's normal crankery, its a window into a specific conservative project aimed at getting women to buy in.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

if they were smart, they’d realize his victory showed that sincere, Lin-Manuel-esque aesthetics are actually very effective at selling socialist ideas to normie libs. but they are not smart.
