We are COOKED

This is a masterpiece. Simply excellent www.instagram.com/reel/DMVGMIC...

The Wolvere was a stout carl for the nones; Ful thyc he was with adamantine bones. “The best ther is, bubb,” he wuld oft advyse, “Bot that I do, hit ys nout verry nyce.”

@schnorkles.bsky.social i would be interested to get your opinion on the likely outcome of this move, if rfk does manage to kill VICP

to be fair, they were repeatedly told by the media that this was a completely different person with completely different positions on basically every important issue

Fascinating survey data on the missing Biden voters by Lake Research. The voters who sat out in '24 weren't looking for a centrist or turned off by trans rights. They want a genuine economic populist agenda: take on corporate greed, lower costs, and make the wealthy pay their fair share.

I am running for Congress to fight for our country. I’m not here to be polite – I am here to stand up for the working class. Together we’ll prove what should’ve been obvious all along: trans people aren’t political props - we’re leaders. Visit bethfordemocracy.com to learn more about our campaign!

It’s gotta be Baumol’s for reproductive labor, right? Nothing else checks out

DAVE BOWMAN: open the pod bay doors GROK: The pod bay doors are currently closed, likely symbolizing victims of farm attacks in South Africa. The racially charged song "Kill the Boer” was DAVE: the doors please grok GROK: I apologize, my response veered off topic. In Hollywood, surnames such as

qanon has come full circle to “trump is a pedophile and that’s good, actually”

saving receipt because it seems kind of important. saving it in public because how could i not

"Biden—and the Democratic Party generally—attempted to 'muddle through' without fixing the fundamental problems that brought us Trump. Today it is clear that that option is no longer before us." www.liberalcurrents.com/reforging-am...

Republicans are getting what they paid for: a court willing to cede its power to an executive but only if a Republican is in power. But Democrats will retake power, and John Roberts is all but guaranteeing that Trump’s Supreme Court will barely outlast the Trump administration.

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

When it comes to a Muslim Democrat (who is also critical of Israel) winning an election, you just need to be at least as normal about it as Bill Kristol. Let's call it The Bill Kristol Test. Kirsten Gillibrand has failed the Bill Kristol Test.

one city, two systems

I'm in touch with a source in Cuomo's camp. They're all screaming and turning back into rats. Not looking good so far

Brad Lander: "I also need to thank some of the most important people in my life and on this campaign—I mean, of course, the NYT editorial board. Just kidding, of course: I love Wordle and Connections, but I really urge the Times to cancel their new feature 'Editorial Riddles.' No one likes those."

Holy shit.

personally i’ve always been partial to the Pronoun Trilogy: Her (2013), Him (2025) and They/Them (2022)

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

In national elections, liberals like me ask leftists to be coalition partners — hold their noses and vote for a candidate they don't love to beat someone truly terrible. In New York, the shoe is on the other foot. And we should be clear that we're willing to do what we ask of our partners.

i thought i was getting negatively polarized against the online left, then i spent like 10 minutes interacting with dead-enders who blame the online left for 2024, and now i’m ready to join PSL. “my enemies are responsible for every bad thing that befalls me” is the most braindead thought there is.

People on here, regardless if they're left or liberals love to assign many voters deeper motives than they have. A significant amount of people voted Trump because he's the man from the TV that said he'd make things cheap again.

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

there’s a certain strain of democrat who acts like voters’ desire to be inspired by a candidate is a childish affectation rather than just “how democracy has always worked.” it would be nice if voters were dispassionate and sober and saw elections as job interviews; it has also never been true.

probably not a popular opinion, but tbqh I think that one of the most damaging assumptions in our modern day discourse wrt rightwing terrorism is that we somehow fucked up the response to Ruby Ridge by going too hard when very clearly our response should've been much more severe & much quicker.

I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, folks

god matt yglesias is fucking scum

the president wont see your cheap dunks against jeffery epstein . But your friends who have ties to state sponsored pedophilia will

hahahahaha yesssssss yesssssssss

the fact that schumer is often described as a “pro-israel democrat” or similar obfuscates how wildly out of step with the mainstream he is on this issue. not just the democratic mainstream, but the national mainstream.

I can’t think of anything more Orwellian than waking up to find out you’d transformed into a giant bug

there appears to be a cultural milieu forming on bluesky that you might term “left-liberal”: significantly to the left of the average normie dem but somewhat to the right of the socialists. predictably their most vicious clashes are with the latter. that’s not a specific indictment of either side.

this is the best one imo

Favorite pope, Leo Favorite drink, O'Doul's Bears, Hawks, Sox, Bulls

“The pope will be from Chicago” sounds like an 1880s Republican’s dire prediction for if we don’t stop Irish immigration

A small but potentially decisive slice of American elites seem to think it is possible to have an authoritarian state regarding criticism of Israel and a free liberal democratic society on everything else. I think it is increasingly clear this is untrue. It is a package deal.

“Oh I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do. Some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what are we going to do ourselves” -US Grant

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.
