Marxist from age 12, Reagan Democrat during the '80s, Social-Democrat since then, having seen "conservative" principles and policies exposed as a multi-generational scam. From Hamilton through Lincoln and FDR, "Left is right and Right is wrong."

If Bluesky is a "liberal bubble," it could be for the same reason it's a "heliocentrist bubble," an "evolutionist bubble," a "science-affirming bubble," a "non-racist bubble," a "Holocaust-affirming bubble," etc. etc. -- because we've been proven right and those who are wrong don't want to be here.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

This is the truth that refutes "conservative" "supply-side" economic dogma in its entirety. All the wealth-creation done by "entrepreneurs" was done in response to consumer demand. Denial of this truth is how we get a parasite class of techbros inflicting garbage on us and calling it "progress."

Business is not the driver of growth, customers are the drivers of growth. If customers are skint business goes bust. #newsnight

One of the things I hate about people who cry "Stop using Amazon!" is that they never have lists of resources that can replace Amazon. In that spirit, I'm going to list my favorite non-Amazon online book merchants. None of them deliver as quickly, but they are reliable. 🧵 #Booksky

This is why we need to have a Congress who will totally and unequivocally zilch all funding for this war, and never let our country be forced or dragged into a war just because one senile incompetent President started it and says we have to finish it.

To Hell with the #DNC! Someone needs to remind them that the last high-profile #Democrat who "punted" on #Israel's pernicious influence on US policy LOST an important election. If they don't want to win, lets replace them with people who do. ‪@democrats.org‬ www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

DNC avoids taking a stance on Israel, AIPAC

Members voted down a measure condemning AIPAC’s influence in primaries and deferred ones that would support conditioning military aid to Israel.

...Beginyahu's choice. “Netanyahu’s agenda has always been to prevent a diplomatic solution, and he feared Trump was actually serious about getting a deal, so the start of this war in the middle of negotiations is a success for him, just like it was last June." www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

Netanyahu’s war? Analysts say Trump’s Iran strikes benefit Israel, not US

War with Iran contradicts the US president's own criticism of regime change policies in the Middle East, analysts say.

Clickbait headline: "How Did We Go from Hunting Communists to Electing Open Socialists?" Simple: We now see that unregulated capitalism is wrong, and socialism, or at least social-democracy, is right; and that all that post-WWII anti-communist crusade was never more than a scam. Next question...?

This really puts Donald Trump's "character" in perspective -- not to mention the "character" of everyone else in the family he could have been spending Christmas with. Seriously, where were Uday, Qusay, Ivanka & Jared, Lara, or even Barron? Did any of them even call him?

Blazingly obvious that everyone else (even the shitty goblins in this administration) had loved ones to be with on Christmas, and they left the gross dumb President alone with his phone.
