Hey @thebulwark.com , come get ya boy!

Long before Trump showed up I did this cartoon of the mentality of the average Republican voter. And other than a change of hats, absolutely nothing has changed. So how did the professionals manage to miss what was blindingly obvious to the rest of us? driftglass.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-...

I read this with my SOUL.... @driftglass.bsky.social

Trump the Uniter.

That thing where a corporate reunion Facebook page is now just one long series of obituaries.

Worthwhile listening: @bluegal.bsky.social and @driftglass.bsky.social take a deep dive into the word "normalizing" — a term that gets thrown around constantly in political coverage, but rarely gets a clear definition. Via @proleftpodcast.bsky.social (1:01): podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Best male friendships on teevee? Ted Lasso & Coach Beard. Jed Bartlet and Leo McGarry. And...?

More Driftglass and Bluegal? we had so much fun on The Bill Show this week!!!! expatprogressive.podbean.com/e/bill-show-...

Translation: First, pander to the idiots who don't know how anything works and don't give a shit about democracy. Second, punch hippies. Here endeth the lesson.

W.'s intention was to use fear and outrage over 9/11 to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Thanks to St. David Brooks for reminding us he faithfully supported this idiocy from the beginning.

Whether it was W popping into an interview to say "Fuck Saddam, we're taking him out" or The Moustache of Understanding yelling "Suck on this", the intentions were ok.

The "Whatever you think of the war/Bush" qualifier/alibi that recently former Republican feel compelled to tack on whenever circumstances force them to revisit their days as cheerleaders for the last lying Republican president disastrous war is...telling. This was David Brooks Friday.

@saletan.bsky.social @jvl.bsky.social For the record "American Christianity" is not a monolith. There are millions of faithful Christians who are doing everything in their power to oppose Trump/Republican authoritarianism. Why they get zero play from the legacy media is a fascinating question.

Orban Concedes after a humiliating loss. www.reuters.com/world/hungar...

"I want the Democratic party to treat me like a Never-Trumper" –Hasan Piker That is a very astute observation.

Someone on Trump's staff failed to mention that this only works if you're not the idiot.

War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Blockading the Strait is Opening the Strait.

The Carlson/Greene/Etc. strategy is to win over the MAGA meatheads by offering them the same kind of phony absolution for being stupid enough to trust Trump...that Trump offered to these same MAGA meatheads back in 2016 for being stupid enough to trust Bush. driftglass.blogspot.com/2026/04/prof...

Something you will never see from Republicans: Swalwell loses all 21 of his endorsements from Democratic colleagues

Highly suggest @bobcesca.bsky.social interview @driftglass.bsky.social discuss failures of both mainstream media and lackluster efforts by democrat leadership to show what trump sycophant republicans are doing to support end of democracy podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Please share your leaders

Vance/Khamenei (LLC) 2028. Because why not.

"please understand I am too grown to have a seriously invested personal take on this man" has been my position and I stand by it

@timmiller.bsky.social for the last two years: If Dem candidates want to win over independents, they have to pick an issue - ANY issue - and run against their own party's position. Be bold! Heterodox! Authentic! And if that pisses off normie Dems, all the better!

With the sound down this becomes the worst game of Marry, Fuck, Kill.

The internet

When First Contact goes wrong.

THIS A 1000000000000 times!

When the legacy media decided to bless and hype a handful of recently-former Republican comms people and ad-makers as the official Voice of the Resistance and told actual Liberals to go kick rocks, these shovel fights over nonsense became inevitable.

We got hit with a community standards violation for posting links asking you to contact businesses about the Forest Service dismantling. But it worked Patagonia listened. Because of the issue on FB, we’re building a dedicated website for that kind of action. We’re hoping to have it live by Monday!

David Brooks is rooting for Mike Lee to replace Bondi. Yes *that* Mike Lee.
