call me Robert the way I be Putnam Gs in my bank account

respectfully micah I am very exhausted by people claiming that "the Democrats" have or don't have a particular message. I am demanding rigor here. which dems, specifically? over what timeframe, which platforms? have you actually looked thru their feeds or tv spots?

I just gained a bunch of followers at once, did somebody reshare a thread of mine that I had muted?

Coming soon: Leaflet posts on PiPup. (we already have WhiteWind posts) #atproto #atdev

This is utter nonsense. The status quo gives MAGA nimby councilmembers disproportionate power to block housing that benefits the entire city. I trust Zohran with the power to approve housing far more than Vickie Paladino. Vote YES on the pro-housing ballot initiatives

*fart noises*

Joe Kennedy III apology form

I understand that there are right ways and wrong ways to have the age conversation about Dem leadership and I don’t know how I feel about specific solutions like age and term limits. I do know THIS PART HERE is a problem bigger than any one individual 78-year-old and it’s making us all furious

smacked a mosquito. but it was on my bed and full of my blood. even in death the mosquito has won

this whole thread, but this especially, is PIVOT TO WIKI. @vortexegg.com please consider the following!: publish.obsidian.md/pivot-point/...

you can just read the interview, you know.

?

Much to consider

please do not accept a half-measure on either the premiums or the illegality. if you have to compromise, do it somewhere else

2/ Democrats aren't going to vote for a budget that throws millions off health care and funds Trump's growing totalitarianism. At least I'm not. Why work so hard to get to the Senate if you don't use your power to fight for what you believe in? Especially at a time like this.

fuck you @captmarkkelly.bsky.social fuck you @schiff.senate.gov

incredible

should the author of this article [REDACTED]? Bluesky investigates

we should be careful about using "lost legitimacy". the state's legitimacy comes from our agreement to grant it the monopoly on violence. this is a different question than "has the 2nd (1st) American Republic as established by the Constitution ended?"

average republican

The many media outlets, politicians, and commentators who rushed to declare “a great peace, glory to the king!” should ask themselves why they did that, and figure out how to not make the same mistake again.

X is quite literally funding the defence of the domestic extremists the government is prosecuting but they still won't stop using it

Critics including Elon Musk have assailed my @cato.org colleague Alex Nowrasteh's study finding that most politically motivated terrorist killings in the U.S. since 1975 have been done by persons on the right. Alex responds to the critics here and explains his methods and classifications.

please do not use that word, even in republican coverage. write out "anti-fascist".

Brian post the source you fuckhead

hey so are the national guard still in DC?

good

top tier post

Katy Perry would disagree

we had reporting from *just before* the Debate™ that Bibi and Trump were having illegal communications. Biden had months upon months to change course even in the end

fuck off

🚅 “Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS) Italy’s state-owned train operator is planning to plough up to £1 billion into the UK economy and reopen Ashford International in Kent, if it gets the go-ahead to rival to Eurostar.” 🆓 ⬇️ www.thetimes.com/article/acb9...

No, you don't gotta hand it to him for possibly getting the third Biden cease fire eight months late after tolerating a mass starvation campaign and demanding a little ethnic cleansing and enormous bribes as a treat, and only because Netanyahu surprise bombed the chief bribe facilitator.

lying is wrong and you shouldn't do it

“Yeah but there was no final status negotiated under those” There’s no final status agreement now either “Yeah but those were temporary” This one hasn’t even been in force for a week “But this time Bibi promises it’s for real!” [stares]

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog. www.cbsnews.com/video/some-n...

I don't want to be a contrarian or a popularist but some of y'all have to take a step back re: ICE. you may be able to prosecute physical abuse but you don't live in a world where we can prosecute them for deportations just bc you call it "kidnapping". come on now.

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

so I guess just back to normal business for this guy?

not great, bob!

also college does not indoctrinate you and we shouldn't argue for it like it does. it can *socialize* you by exposing you to people from backgrounds outside where you grew up but so can other stuff like the army

I would simply write "this is a decision that affects the process of the case but does not represent a full ruling on the issue" because it's 2025 and you can just add a few words to the start of your pdf file

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

does Maine RCV apply for the primaries?

Sens. Schumer, Merkley, Murray, and Peters are calling for the resignation of OMB Director Russell Vought. "By impounding billions of dollars … and aggressively pursuing the illegal use of pocket rescissions, Vought has done everything in his power to gut the federal government piece by piece."

Okay, I’m going to take a mea culpa on this one, as initial reporting suggested he was ONLY facing removal because of the murder conviction he’s been exonerated from. But there’s more; at 19, he pled guilty to dealing LSD. And in immigration law, that’s its own “aggravated felony” ground of removal.

one single step that would do a lot to improve reputation of LLMs would be for Google to abandon AI Mode like they do with all of their other products

yes

I think I've killed 10 different mosquitos in my apartment today alone. UGH
