How can anyone believe ANYTHING said by a Democratic senator or Rep moving forward? They are irredeemably tainted by their party’s actions.

So professional athlete are prosecuted for monetizing their actions outside of the rules of their sport, while Pelosi and other lawmakers have inside information and are somehow magical in choosing stocks.

I would remind Americans of the tale of the scorpion and the frog. It is the dem politician’s nature.

The status quo delivered us to this moment of fascist acceleration. As Democratic elites in Washington keep proving, they have nothing to offer but behavior that abets and fosters more of the same. Their trajectory is as fixed as the right's.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Introduced a friend (visiting from mid states) to Eggers’ The Witch last night. No better ‘fall in New England’ movie- bring the slow burn, then fly!!

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

Granted Maine is a low population state but they must be able to Come up with better alternatives than 2 geriatrics and a Nazi-tattooed ‘formerly’ angry white guy.

I hope there’s a good count on the weapons, cuz certain elements of the admin are not above selling stuff that might not be theirs.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

“Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away.” - George Carlin.

will every pundit who mentions ICE today begin with stern admonishments that violence is never the answer, because it sure seems like ICE sees violence as the answer

And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class

"Yes, Yes, to Ta-Nehisi Coates, you listen."

Gratitude to not be one of the 300 million killed by drugs in this country!

This is the same guy.

The First Amendment as an impenetrable guardrail of American freedoms is proving to be made of wet tissue.

nope, sorry, no, not taking any politician seriously who denounces “political violence” who has funded a genocide which has sniped professors and sniped journalists and blown up professors and turned children into soup and decapitated women, nope, not gonna do it, no no no no no no no

@bluesky moderation is suspending people for posting Kirk's own words which tells you everything you need to know.

Don’t expect white male supremacists and their lackeys to abandon their leader over pedophilia and trafficking. Remember their answer to murdered school children is to sell schools bulletproof white boards and gun training for teachers. Theirs is a sick world view.

I, for one, am shocked to learn that the party that has long been comfortable sacrificing the lives of school children to appease the extremist gun nuts in its base is now comfortable sacrificing the lives of school children to appease the extremist anti-vaccine nuts in its base…

While gutting the middle class thru tax policy, tariffs/inflation, and corporate love affairs with machine workers, the system is setting up cops/govt oppressors as the few remaining good paying gigs that is currently hiring.

All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities.

The original Jurassic Park movie makes me think twice about walking away from my car with a door open. Every time.

no moral appeal, no amount of dead Palestinians or children dying from malnutrition will convince the empire to change. they cannot be pressured into justice, justice must be seized.

Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect any who seek it.

So Israelis target children with sniper rifles, arrest/detain children in prisons, starve children as policy, amputate children, mass murder children, kill children’s parents and now Israel admits that children need to be eliminated but you think it’s not a #genocide? How much more time do you need?

It was liberals - now called "centrists" in both parties - who passed the laws giving presidents the powers now used against them. The centrists aimed to use that power against leftists. Ironically the far right now uses it against the centrists. - Meme credit: @redneckgonegreen.bsky.social

"The unemployment rate is 3.6%"

All this money for fkn Israelis killing and stealing land while Americans go into debt on credit cards and work two jobs, to pay taxes and bills out the ass every fkn day. Fuck all this shit. We live in a capitalist authoritarian dictatorship for the rich, and so many mfs are like “vote harder.”

The deliberate killing of five Al Jazeera staff has brought the total number of journalists killed by Israel since the start of the war to 237, according to Gaza's Government Media Office. 🔴 LIVE updates:

Heading to see Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley tonight! They rock!

A very smart Muslim woman has some words about the media and starvation and Israel. Maybe give a listen. 🇵🇸 www.instagram.com/reel/DM5--cq...

I studied Buddhism intensely for a decade, and nothing immediately clears my mind of all grasping to thoughts or perceptions like someone trying to tell me the rules to a board game.

Thank you for your voice Chris Smalls. Video via @democracynow.org

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined. The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.

We should grant power over our affairs only to those who are reluctant to hold it & then only under conditions that increase the reluctance

I heard people saying that Alito and Clarence Thomas are in the Epstein list. Huh!

What you of the CHOAM directorate seem unable to understand is that you seldom find real loyalties in commerce. When did you last hear of a clerk giving his life for the company? Perhaps your deficiency rests in the false assumption that you can order men to cooperate.

Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. Something cannot emerge from nothing.

The notion that fascists can be “defeated in the marketplace of ideas,” completely overlooks the fact that fascists don’t so much have ideas as they have murderous and usually genocidal intentions; for fascists ideas are just tools to achieve those intentions.

I can’t think of another leader who inspired such depth of hope only to become an empty, shameful embodiment of craven greed and moral ambivalence. He radicalized more of us than he’ll ever know.

Republican candidate for Governor of California Kyle Langford stands in front of a Nazi concentration camp and proposes sending unemployed and homeless individuals to be incinerated there.
