Lisa Murkowski is so goddamn fucking stupid I cannot even

Haven’t been on here for a bit. Partially from distractions elsewhere. But it’s been a rough couple of days.

For clarity: my moral allegiance in this moment of such enormous suffering is to the PEOPLE of Israel, Gaza, and Iran. The REGIMES of those places—Hamas militants, the Netanyahu administration and its IDF and “settler” agents; the Iranian regime—can go to hell, the lot of them.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Yet Luigi launched a thousand hand-wringing op-eds from the chattering class. Makes you think

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

If it takes all of this to eek out a "win" for Cuomo, then the establishment Dems should be extremely concerned about future elections. A lot of people are done with the Democratic party.

The US has denied the visas of all 12 members of the Senegalese women’s basketball team who were scheduled to travel to the country as part of their preparation for the Afrobasket tournament that begins in August. Afrobasket is also the African qualifiers for the Olympics. #wnba

thinking about this one again

Do you expect it to get magically better tomorrow? This is a Supreme Court decision on constitutional matters that will take decades to overturn. If you don't want to believe it, that's your problem.

Really fucking tired of people acting like refugees coming to this country is the biggest problem ever and everything else is secondary.

Sotomayor: "The majority subjects a law that plainly discriminates on the basis of sex to mere rational-basis review. By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent."

I can’t wait until all these murderous ghouls on the Supreme Court are fucking dead

I love this girl ❤️

Seriously, the success rate of gender affirming care is so high that even comparing it to "how well aspirin cures a headache" isn't enough; it's closer to "how well delivering the baby cures being in labor."

A story about why Democrats are losers, in four parts.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

transphobes go to the shadow realm

Your worst enemy is not the person in opposition to you. It is the person occupying the spot you would be fighting from and doing nothing. ~Heather Marsh, Binding Chaos

Got To Get You Into My Life, but not the Beatles version. The version by Earth, Wind, and Fire is the best and definitive version of that song.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

Judge says 2-year-old US citizen appears to have been deported with ‘no meaningful process’ politi.co/42TgorF

Let’s make Elon the next My Pillow guy.

Nothing specific happened. I didn't meet someone who's trans (though now I know many), I didn't read a story that endeared me to the plight of trans people (though I support them all). I was raised to care for everyone, and that everyone deserved to find joy and live as long a life as they can.

Don’t y’all get tired of calling people ugly unprovoked? Summa y’all do it to yourselves; summa y’all do it to other people; but the key word here is *unprovoked* There are already entire industries committed to making us feel ugly without anyone else’s help Don’t feed the machines

So how exactly is DOJ going to say they can’t persuade Bukele of anything when a mere minority Senator can get in to see Kilmer?

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

It’s a relatively small piece of the overall injustice and immorality of the situation, but OMG they’re discussing concerns that his family will lose Abrego Garcia’s employer-sponsored insurance because he’s been *disappeared to another country and therefore unable to work*

They should absolutely ban congressional stock trading. It's the most obvious and blatant form of corruption in American government today.

Remember, the Trump Adminstration made it a humanitarian priority to bring back Andrew Tate from Romania.

Oh what's that? Our #AvatarLegends #actualplay is coming back this Friday at 3pm Pacific/6pm Eastern. Good to know! @arnicaxross.bsky.social @josadison.bsky.social @archmageofdice.bsky.social @caseybrefka.bsky.social twitch.tv/valdrianth

It’s difficult to find graphing paper here, but our data indicates that the US Tariff on our island is causing their stock market to be shaped just like our biggest cliff. Impeccable

There will be no “cleaning up the damage” or “repairing America’s standing in the world” unless the criminals who have brought us to this horrific state face *severe* consequences.

ChatGPT ass presidency

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

If you ever uttered the words "Lock her up," and you aren't screaming about this, it was never about this country for you.

The truth is, most didn't care, but one of the many things that will never stop haunting me about this election is the number of people who were passionately, sincerely committed to getting Israel out of Gaza who voted for in (or stayed home and let "in" win).

"So I confess that I have been imperfect, I confess that I have been inadequate to the moment, I confess that the Democratic Party has made *terrible* mistakes that have given lane to this demagogue." - @corybooker.com More of this, honestly, please. Acknowledge it. Please.

so it's really time to start pulling music from spotify and pray the other music platforms don't copy this from them? i don't want to be pessimist but we've already seen them basically not pay us at all below a threshold

fam, @katmabu.bsky.social is going to be in Congress. www.katforillinois.com/issues/prote...

oh i think this is exactly right. people care about your views but they ALSO care about whether you seem real and authentic

NEW: AOC in Vegas. Major challenge to Dem leadership🔥 “If you’re willing to fight for someone you don’t know, you’re welcome here. But I will say this: Those leaders on either side of aisle willing to put their fellow Americans down so they can get ahead; they may best find a home somewhere else.”

This stupid cunt is entirely out of touch with reality
