I agree 100% with this. I think this is an important public health warning. Protect yourself from the vile bigotry that has indeed sickened more and more of our country. People whom we walk amongst, whom we maybe thought were neutral or had our backs care about Retribution & Selfishness.

But did you Skeet about Bluesky thinking my ass is AI? 🇱🇨🇺🇸@thepassionittwists.bsky.social · 4h ago

It's going to get a lot worse before it gets anywhere near better. That sick shit we see in maga has infected a lot of folks who have never worn the red hat. This country is sick. Protect yourself.

It is endlessly interesting to me that this seems to always be a problem for otherwise really plugged in progressives. What is the issue with speaking to Black voters where you are?

I’m not saying Stevens is going to win but I am saying the counties with lots of Black Voters showed up for her big time. If El-Sayed wins he’s going to have to find a way to solve this problem.

NEWS — Embattled Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards has withdrawn from the NC-11 race. He says he will serve out his current term.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) sparked outrage Tuesday after being captured on video agreeing to meet with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein – only to snub them moments later. "They sat in his office for 45 minutes before his staff told them he wasn’t coming." www.rawstory.com/jeffrey-epst...

Flaco: A truly Superb Owl.

@Above96th@above96th.bsky.social · yesterday

One steamy July morning I encountered Flaco sleeping in Central Park, his wings spread in an effort to keep cool. One of my favorite Flaco shots! #Flaco #Internationalowlawarenessday #birding

Oh, he's a for-real psychopath.

Max Miller: When I was reported for child abuse, for my daughter, for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days, and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan

A civilian medical plane went down after an experimental US military GPS jamming test reportedly disrupted its radar. Every person aboard lost their life. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

In case you needed yet another Republican telling you that the plan is to strip women of their rights to their own bodies, here is … *checks notes* … ah, yes, Trump’s nominee for Attorney General telling you exactly and explicitly that.

Listen to Todd Blanche—Trump’s nominee for AG—tell faith leaders that the Justice Dept is working with the White House to stop the shipping of abortion pills into banned states. “We will have victory, victory will be soon, and it will be permanent,” he said.

You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

A white woman whitesplaining why the left doesn’t make inroads with us “ignorant Negroes” is a way to go, Emma. Funny how we’rethe ones who’ve never bought the magic beans white voters fall for every time.

The internet is forever and we don’t forget who these bigots are.

The New Republic got ahold of itself and deleted this post, but...I still got a screen grab of it:

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

We don’t talk enough about how Republicans are the ones who steal elections

Black voters are the most informed voters of any demo I will die on that hill

Tell me again who voted in the Democratic Party. These racist assholes think Black voters just fell off a turnip truck. They are the voters, the poll workers and the people who canvass.

Y’all are racist as HELL. And you really think we can’t see you saying this mess in👏🏾broad👏🏾daylight👏🏾 Your coded “low information voters” rhetoric translates to indignation that we have the nerve to think for ourselves—you resent that you can’t get us to fall for the okie doke. Racist and dumb.

If Biden had thrown Trump in the slammer we wouldn't be here. You can piss and moan all you want but J6 was history books shit and history books shit requires the President to do President shit. And he didn't. And now the guy who saved millions has to eat shit from a penis like Ron Johnson

I may have missed it but I can't see Mitch McConnell mentioned by anyone in this thread. He deserves *all* the blame for this. He had the power to make sure Trump couldn't run again. He chose party over country.

Yeah, former President Biden couldn't do that. Instead: Shift your anger to the stupid, ignorant, malevolent, self-destructive, racist, misogynistic 77 million Americans who put this likely child rapist/criminal back in office. THEY bear a good chunk of the blame for this nightmare -- not Biden.

You're an idiot. trump WAS impeached for Jan 6. That was the second impeachment. Republican Senators didn't pay attention, some didn't even show up. They can't convict & remove without 67 votes. More to the point, impeachment can't be done overnight & McConnell was still Majority Leader on Jan 6.

This is why if he wins not one Black person should life a fucking finger to help this piece of garbage. Serious question is that your whole platform? Anti Israel? How the fuck does that help Michigan?

Pierce@pierceah66.bsky.social · yesterday

Just going out on a limb here but maybe shit like this is why people like Rev. Dr Wendell are getting quoted saying shit like how he’s worried the guy will be more concerned about the West Bank than the West Side of Detroit.

over the course of my life i've heard many many people say "it's too bad hitler didn't find success as an artist, maybe this could have all been avoided" and rowling really gives the lie to that

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.
