Hi Tammy, one of your constituents here! Why have you been allowing unanimous consent for the many heinous senate proceedings put forward by Republicans? Why should anyone believe you give a shit about this when you & other Senate Dems continually allow unanimous consent for their fascist agenda?

What percentage of divorces are caused by incompatible dishwasher loading? My wife and I cross a deep divide: she grew up without one; my mom used to travel to appliance stores to demonstrate equipment (mostly microwaves). We have found middle ground.

NEW: Monthly data just out shows NYC lost 4,500 jobs in August. The employment slowdown is real, nationally and locally.

Trump's DOJ following his order to prosecute James Comey. Someone should ask Senator Collins what lesson Trump has learned.

Great to know for states in the northeast coalition. Please get your vaccines as indoor weather and holidays increase social interactions.

We are obviously in horrible danger. I am not downplaying the threat against us. I am simply saying it's good to maintain some perspective about whether or not the FBI is going to come for each and every one of us in the coming months It's important not to panic

I’m at the New Yorkers Against ICE rally in Foley Square with hundreds of others. Earlier today ICE agents threw a grieving wife of a detainee to the ground inside 26 Federal Plaza, just steps from here. Elected officials @bradlander.bsky.social, @jumaane.bsky.social and others are speaking.

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

"To Protect And Serve" Was there any "law enforcement" there? You know actual real law enforcement that arrests people for assaulting women? Why yes, there is a man in the doorway with a "Police" vest on. He turned and walked away. We're on our own.

In contrast to Obama, here's president dipsy-doodle: 🤡👑

Most awesome Obama quote I've heard in ages. Original idea framing and spot on.

Starbucks sucks...

Good morning

I really would, though, like to somehow come up with a response to internecine fighting that validates everyone's frustration while gently redirecting the angry attention to the enemy that's actually the root of the problem.

Thank you @teklamarie.bsky.social. Exactly this.

Release the Epstein Files, pedophile, fascist, felon, liar, & psychopath Donald Trump!

Political analysis in this country is really hamstrung by the fact that most of the people doing it seem to have no idea what different political systems are or why people adhere to them

Alright folks. The sniping on here is so goddamn tiresome. Eyes on the prize. EPSTEIN, TARIFFS, HUMAN CRUELTY. Unlike this Bluesky crowd, they crave lockstep, it's shaky for them, they are scared. DELAY their damn agenda. Work to keep elections as an American thing. That is it.

Never heard this before but I think it's fantastic guidance!

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

LOL!

Ha

The problem is Senator Murphy and other Democrats keep thinking Trump and Republicans are separate entities. They're not. They're one and the same. Republicans are ventriloquists, pulling the strings to make Trump voice what they want to say. Senate Democrats need to wake up to this fact.

I heard the interview referenced in this article. She was really good! Also, recommend a stroll thru the replies to this. They're pretty funny.

Drawing of the Day: No rapture Shanah Tovah! Trump insults the UN and Democrats in a busy day

It is quite possible that I shall no longer be able to fight fascism, because I am convinced the New York #Mets are trying to kill me.

It’s long overdue for editors to move beyond “fact-checking” and to #RealityCheck POTUS. Reality can puncture the aura and unreality manufactured by fascist propaganda. American democracy needs newsroom leaders to be reality-based. Trump is either delusional or lying. bsky.app/profile/fact...

I really hate these tech billies. I hate them. If the Rapture comes and I go downstairs, they'll be there, and it really and truly will be Hell.

I thought this was a meme. Is it real??? 🤣

⬇️⬇️ This is how I've felt about Mayor Pete from day 1. So articulate, talented, and..... and then ❓❓❓ There's also a smug vibe I don't like but that's a personal thing.

Imagine being these world leaders and experienced diplomats and just having to sit there and listen to this maniac talking absolute dangerous bollocks for hours. It’s sometimes hard to believe this is real life.

@chrisstein.bsky.social Hey Chris, tomorrow is the Rapture and I was wondering if you guys will kick off the festivities bringing the Rapture in song? Obviously it all has to go through God for the logistics and stuff, but there can be no better way to get this party started. Many thanks.

I would like to congratulate Kenvue Inc, the owner of the Tylenol brand for the easiest and most profitable lawsuit of all time.

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

Not a Bernie adherent but this is right on and succinctly put. Absolutely right about media control, and that includes deliberately making media deserts in the US where nothing but RW media is available. It's not unique in our history but the situation now is extreme.

I watched the clip. The summary gets it right but the clip--you can't look, but you can't look away.

Finally spent the time on the full episode and recommend especially the 2nd half. Perspective on what the Democratic Party is that was insightful--and makes it seem unlikely they'll know how to course-correct even if they retake either house of Congress.

Good. @abc7.bsky.social parent, ABC News, are not impartial news

The chair of the New York Democratic Party refusing to endorse the Democratic nominee for the mayor of the largest city in America should not be the chair of the New York Democratic Party. That there is even a debate on this is baffling

I can just feel the end of the Schoen & Daboll era. Sad. Had so much promise and need to quote Malik Nabers: It's not the quarterback (said last year in reference to one Daniel Jones).

Help me out there was nothing wrong with that catch dammit. #NYG

I need to be completely honest. I miss Twitter sports. The sports community there was and may still be amazing. Sitting here willing my #NYG to challenge the KC Chiefs and I feel alone. 😭😭😭

Thought about this. Hard. I do admire something about every mayor since I've lived here. That includes Dinkins, Giuliani, Bloomberg, DeBlasio, Adams and by god, Ed Koch. For anyone in #NYC, I urge you to spend some time with this. Is there one mayor where you can find nothing they did well?

The irony of this is just nuts. Also nuts is the gut reaction I just had, which was Gee, I wish this had stayed with the Chinese govt where it belongs....
