LOL, "distracted and detracted from the power of the message." What message? Democrats, as a party, don't have any "message" because their leadership (backed by vestiges like Axelrod) leap in to quash good messaging whenever it bubbles up. "With Natalie" has been a slam dunk with zero downside.

what is it with ex obama people and misreading the room lol? this whole thing sparked a news cycle and endless earned media, feels like a slam dunk to me

I'm sorry. The Denver Republican party is run by a dude named Hugo Chavez and he's in trouble because he won't back a candidate named Marx?

Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · yesterday

NEW: Hugo Chavez-Rey, Vice-Chair of the Denver Republican Party, has resigned rather than face a removal vote tonight after he refused to back GOP gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

perfect synopsis of modern Republicanism

"Despise" is probably strong, but Michael Clayton. I've seen it multiple times, I've read it's supposedly perfect screenplay, and each time...nothing. Just bored. It's flat, lifeless and dull.

Whats a movie everyone fucking loves that you despise? It doesnt have to be objectively bad, you just objectively DID NOT. Heres one for me since Ive been on a Barbara Loden kick lately-

Ossoff: "Mike Collins needs to release every communication -- email, text message, phone record, encrypted chat -- between his office, his chief of staff, and those white supremacists, and he needs to release those communications today ... there is no place for white nationalism in the Senate"

Mamdani is succeeding in part by projecting joy Ossoff is succeeding in part by projecting steely ferocity We’re in a moment when attitude is nearly as powerful as ideology, because we all need courage. And these are two ways of summoning it

I’m on vacation but I gotta say, as much fun as it is to debate woke1 and Hasan Piker, the Trump administration is currently engaged in mass murder on the high seas as surely as any serial killer or lynch mob. And viewed from the distance of vacation, The Discourse doesn’t seem to give a shit.

Capitol Hill reporters should ask every single Republican elected official if they disagree. Just get them on the record.

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

In yet another act of impeachable unconstitutional defiance of the law, Constitution, and courts, Trump issues another executive order limiting birthright citizenship. Even if more narrowly than before, this is a high crime. Remove him

masterful captioning.

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

"Senator Moreno, have you refused to say anything because you think your daughter is lying about these allegations of abuse or because you prioritize Republican politics above your own family?"

Adam Parkhomenko@adamparkhomenko.bsky.social · 3w ago

Bernie Moreno still not saying anything because he’s a gutless sack of shit.

The president took on a vanity project, gave no-bid contracts to contractors who screwed it up, made up a story about vandals to cover it up, and then fomented a felony prosecution against an innocent scapegoat. You could impeach for anything he's done but "This asshole is out of control" is a layup

Roy Edroso@edroso.bsky.social · 3w ago

When you slow down and think about it you realize it's ten times worse than it seems. Sure it's farcical, but it's also a brutal legal attack on a man they knew to be innocent, done to distract from their own thievery and incompetence and as a flex to terrify anyone who might make them look bad.

The biggest Republican donor in 2026 is also the world's most vocal advocate for ethnic cleansing. That's a big deal, right? So why aren't you hearing about it? presswatchers.org/2026/07/the-...

"Let’s take stock of what happened here: CBS News executives tried to help the Trump regime whitewash public executions carried out by federal agents."

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 4w ago

After federal agents killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the pro-Trump management team at CBS News pressured journalists to put disinformation in their reports. This went beyond “politics” – it was news executives helping fascists whitewash murder. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

We still have the cultural image that actual Nazis were defeated in the 1940's, and the remaining Nazis are either unemployed basement-dwellers or fringe militias in Idaho. There is still a reluctance by media and business leaders to say openly that the world's wealthiest person is a Nazi.

When Lindsey Graham appears in a history book, it'll be his prediction in 2016 that the Republican Party would be destroyed for supporting Donald Trump and then a few lines about how he proved it by becoming Trump's toady. That's pretty much it. That's his legacy. Pathetic lickspittle.

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.
