"My brethren, soldiers may leap out of that statue tonight and kill me, but what’s leaping out at me right now is our total disregard for norms. What you see as an enemy threat, I see as a one-of-a-kind statue of a mare." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/sen...

Edmund Fitzgerald Dem Party 🤝 Both wrecked today

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” -Ta-Nehisi Coates

I'm so worried about what'll happen when our kids are old enough to have phones!!!! 😮😮😮

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie] SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

Just thinking again how Democrats asked people to accept short-term suffering in order to give space to prevent long-term, worse suffering and then said, "Thanks for suffering in the short-term. You'll get to suffer long-term too so that our Thanksgiving plans don't get disrupted."

Oh look a circulatory system and no spine. I'd forgotten about Chuck Schumer's cameo in this.

if you ever randomly get the urge to donate to the democratic party, feel free to venmo that money to me or another trans person instead - we'll make sure it doesn't get used to take away people's healthcare

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Funny prank: everyone becomes militantly communist very quickly

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Sigh

Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried as quickly as possible because they're stupid, aren't capable of recognizing they're winning, are incapable of representing their constituents, and are cowards not up to this era's challenges.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

There is no reforming any of the agencies involved in these kidnappings.

The joy in question

They should fire Fickell at the next timeout

Nazi imagery is bad, especially in Jewish spaces, and elected officials condemning it is good

I appreciate that Coviello takes the time to remind us that David Brooks is just not very smart.

One of the most important Midwestern annual rituals.

So Medicare for All then?

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Once again: Democrats should make it clear that when they return to office, they will investigate every deal made with the current administration.

There are many things to say about someone like Nancy Pelosi. One of those is that in a more just world she would be in prison for insider trading. finance.yahoo.com/news/nancy-p...

lol

Tangentially related, but I read this Calvin & Hobbes comic to my 7yo last night. Celebrate inefficiency!

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Happy @fiadh.bsky.social care package day to all who celebrate

Hero jury saves democracy gone a-rye

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

It's worth asking if this sign was put up because our clearly addled-brained POTUS kept getting lost.

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

Integration of elite workplaces at a time of media and entertainment industry contraction meant increased competition for plum jobs and prestige with people who were only ever supposed to be subjects or topics, not in newsrooms, writers rooms, or the like.

Let's get these laws developed and passed in every state, right now. Don't wait until after the fact.

whos in the social media bubble now you gooncel freaks

"while the good people of Wisconsin do love to (responsibly!) enjoy adult beverages, attendance has declined so much at UW football games this season that their alcohol sales numbers have actually gone down." On, Wisconsin

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything. Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

Dick Cheney would have loved this

Woke 2 riding in like

It's almost impossible to capture the fae, but deep in the forest on moonlit nights, they may allow you a brief glimpse.

Republicans are currently starving millions of people in order to force Democrats to cooperate in cutting health care for millions of people. We've gotten so inured to this shit. It's just monstrous, horrific behavior.

As Bluesky's general functionality continues to improve, there are times you may find it difficult to search for the content you need. So as a public service announcement here's the video clip you are trying to find to post when discussing the death of Dick Cheney today apnews.com/article/dick...
