Abdul El Sayed's open-mindedness on the question of how to actually resolve the question of Palestine is one of the best indicators of his overall intelligence and sincerity. Policymakers in DC should adopt a rights-based approach which prioritizes ending the occupation and apartheid systems.

El-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike... If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...

I absolutely agree with Denny here. The frickin' hilarious point about my account here? It's a SHELL of what I had when I was on Xhitter (almost 4K followers). Now that I'm officially (mostly) retired from sports, I've got no interest in rebuilding up to those levels again. I'm here for the FUN!

Bluesky can’t just be about liberal/left politics or it’ll definitely fail. It’s why you need to get your sportsball folks off X and onto Bluesky, the official app of sports.

Hmm, when you properly fund things that benefit the community as a whole while still going after big money asshats who are skating by on the bare minimums, turns out that crime goes down and people's happiness goes up. Who'da thunk it?

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

Dear Newbie Bluesky CEO Toni Schneider, Do not even THINK about screwing with our algorithms. Liberal bubble is fine, because all the Beta Cucks can't even get a foothold here. They're shoved into one giant circle-jerk bubble themselves. And we prefer Social Media platforms like that.

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d ago

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Speaking as someone who was formerly abused in a relationship, I can equivocally state that this feckless piece of shit is saying and showing the physical mannerisms of an abuser. Don't believe a damn word this piece of shit says. Needs to be ARRESTED, and Brian Moreno needs to be out of the senate

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

This town is, quite literally, just 50 miles east of where my Mom used to live (Hasty, CO). Hartman had 56 residents. Hasty has 180ish. I think we're going to start seeing more and more of these small towns being abandoned quickly.

A small town in south-eastern Colorado was recently declared abandoned after all of its local public leaders resigned amid a drinking water supply crisis. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Really weighing my options of becoming a card carrying member of @demsocialists.bsky.social. And, yes, I'm considering changing my political party (been reg'd Independent since 1996) over to Dem. Supported mostly Dems this entire time (a couple GOP folks in 2000 / 2004). Dem exclusive since 2006.

You know, in trying to make a garbage point here about the leftmost side of Dem party, perhaps you shouldn't have cited a SIX YEAR OLD ARTICLE as "evidence". Read the room, Candy. LOOK AT THE RACES ALREADY WON FOR PRIMARIES. DSA and DSA-adjacent candidates are who are winning now. Holy smokes...

The Democratic Party have allowed the left to bamboozle them into silence and losing election. Democrats must give the left the axe. #PresidentBiden👇 patch.com/minnesota/ri...

I made a flyer for my book launch event in Canva to avoid using AI. Please come. This writing thing has to work out, because I do not have a future in graphic design.

Dear White People (especially GOP Chudstains), As a white guy married to a Black Woman (20+ years), the LAST damn thing you *ever* want to do is to try to silence them. Rashida, you need to go, too. Your disrespect of Black Women is beyond embarrassing. I hope you win, Ms. Jackson!

You All Aren’t Embarrassed Yet??!! 👀 Rashida’s LOUD disrespect started with Vice President Kamala Harris. Now it’s DEAFENING toward Black women constituents. Only 4 Days Left. Let’s Win Together. Chip In Today: secure.actblue.com/donate/shane...
