An object at rest cannot be stopped!
I spent weeks in the homes, churches & communities of Black voters across the rural South covering the midterms as if the Black Belt were were a state Part 1 of “Black, Blue & Invisible” looks at how Black Belt voters-not the Democratic Party-flipped Georgia www.contrabandcamp.com/p/the-democr...
The Democratic Party Didn’t Turn Georgia Blue; Black Belt Voters Did It

I keep saying that it was a lot more exciting when the tech industry still had some competition and offered some opportunity for workers. Humbling Musk, after all the tycoons tried to model themselves after his most despicable behaviors, will only be good for the country *and* for actual innovation.
Andrew Lawrence@ndrew.bsky.social · 4d agothree things that should be extremely clear after last night - people hate the tech overlords and you need to go after them - theres no reason to be scared of their money - there is no downside in bringing them to heel

We should be grateful when the world’s “richest” man explicitly says “I am chaotic evil, just ~love~ being evil, wish I could be like my favorite villain and kill a bunch of school kids and then genocide a planet!” because that gives us moral clarity about where we are and what we need to do.
Just want to salute the poltiical wonks at the Atlantic for continuing to absolutely nail it

I can't be the only one that gets a kick out of watching an agent get quotes/escaping wrong when writing a script...
wrong. the key to dem success in 2028 is “orange man bad” and “techbros bought it”
Dan Meeps@onekneedjacks.bsky.social · 2w agoKeys to Dem success post-2026: - Articulate a popular vision - Identify the obstacles and villains in the way - Wield power to surmount the obstacles and subdue the villains, or at least fight to do so Musk and pals won't join the Big Tent unless they can rule it. That makes them villains.
You can uncensor it using this prompt engineering technique I invented
There is hope for some of the newer voices in the Democratic Party like AOC and AES because they realize you have to actually stand for something to build a movement and draw people toward you. The old guard must all be overthrown. Their laziness and cowardliness can never defeat fascism.

Micah@rincewind.run · 2w agohow all of these conversations would actually go
and to think republican candidates were worried trump would just talk about himself instead of the republican candidate at these rallies
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTrump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"
It's amusing to watch an ai struggle through console shenannigans. Did I quote that incorrectly? Did I escape the space? Am I missing a comma?
it has been so hard for democrats to understand this is what people want to hear and not "i seek bipartisan solutions with my friends across the aisle." no! we want to hear how youre gonna fuck up nazis and misogynists and homophobes and bring us into the goddamned star trek future
