Banned for living
@drm1ke.bsky.social
Just a progressive looking for the world to progress. Banned from Twitter for suggesting Senator Grassley should jump in a lake. Apparently he can't swim, so it was considered a death threat. I also think we should send ***Elon to Mars***.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social Tom denies the Conservative South gerrymandered the Senate in the 1890s and the opposition just sat there. Explain to me again why there are a North and South Dakota? When 23% of the country can block any legislation? Sounds like gerrymandering the country to me.
I can’t believe we’re doing another cycle of pretending to have a deal with Iran. This is so stupid.
Trump’s outburst over the Reflecting Pool is a sign of dangerous dysfunction in the Oval Office, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/OMivBxpl
🤦♀️Those international programs served a few purposes-- saving lives, making life better where people were (reducing migration), and reducing surplus US agricultural production-- at $40 per year per taxpayer vs. ICE at $100-200 per year per taxpayer.
Dynamite blasting and nuclear waste are treated as "ultrahazardous"—strict liability applies no matter the precautions. Reflecting on the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident, Keith Porcaro of Duke Law argues advanced AI belongs in the same category.
Advanced AI Is Ultrahazardous. Let’s Treat It That Way
Advanced AI creates some degree of risk to digital infrastructure that cannot be fully mitigated, writes Keith Porcaro.

He nails it. The press is not neutral, the parties are not the same. The stench of fascism is here, degrading and ruining the country and only socialism has a chance of saving it from hell.

No shame for these stupid gas lighters. But maybe the 60th time they spout this bullshit nobody, yes, nobody believes them.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoBessent: "We've seen President Trump last week threaten what would have been the largest military campaign since World War 2 against the Iranians, and now because of that we are in talks with the Iranians. I think there's a chance we may have a deal today or tomorrow to open the strait."
The token black speaks. Listen to him. Determine why he is spouting out bullshit. We know why, do you?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoRep. Byron Donalds: "What the Democrats want is chaos. The Minneapolis craziness? That was brought to us by the Democrat Party." 🙃
Those that live by the gaslight die by the gaslight. Rand Paul is showing how much of a disgrace he can be.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoSen. Rand Paul: "I've had the debate with this administration ... they told me this isn't a war. I said, why isn't it a war? They said, 'Well, a constitutional war has to have significant casualties' ... initiation or declaration of war is *before* the casualties."
Two sides: the truth and the bullshit. Yes, we know. He should step down.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoNN: The abuse allegations against Rep. Max Miller -- Moreno says he should resign, but President Trump disagrees. Do you think Miller should step down? REP. JIMMY PATRONIS: No. I agree with the president. This is a family fight. Unfortunately, divorces are messy. There are two sides to every story.
Tillis can go F himself and the arse he rode in on.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTillis: "Everybody has this view that they are as pure as the driven snow and it's the other side that has a problem. I think we both have a problem, folks. If you want to talk about weaponization, take a look at Biden, take a look at Obama, take a look at Crossfire Hurricane ... "
Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.
Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.
El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."
A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.

ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->
Gabriel Malor@gabrielmalor.bsky.social · yesterdayFed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.
Rare credit where it’s due. This is the correct headline.
"Typically, approving a big power plant might require public hearings and months of detailed vetting. But Texas environmental regulators signed off in just 20 days." Be sure to put them all in areas that vote Republican. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/c...

Im gonna guess that the voters they spent 60 million trying to convince Obama endorsed Stevens are not voting Republican in the general
And who actually believes her lying Republican lips?
D. Earl Stephens@dearlstephens.bsky.social · yesterday📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
Progressive Pro-Ukraine candidate Dr. Adbul El-Sayed won the democratic nomination for senate (MI). He will face republican candidate Mike Rogers in the general election on Nov. 4th. Having a senator from Michigan that will support Ukraine come 2027 is of paramount importance.
Track Ukraine@trackukraine.bsky.social · 2d agoMichigan senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @abdulelsayed.bsky.social supports Ukraine's survival. He framed their defense as a "righteous struggle" yesterday in a Detroit Free Press interview. ✅Supports military aid ✅Condemns the invasion ✅Supports sanctions on Russian war machine
If you're a criminal/abuser/rapist, why *wouldn't* you run for office as a Republican at this point? The GOP is the most welcoming group on Earth for "people" like this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 16h agoMax Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."
Progressives are always expected to hold their noses and vote for the Dem in the general no matter what... Interesting that the loser right-wing Dems are already acting like they might allow a republican to win in Michigan. That would mean Trump might get to appoint another supreme court justice.
❄️ ABOLISH ICE@kskm3.bsky.social · 15h agoIf those losers split the ticket and hand trump a vote for a supreme court justice, they should stop calling themselves democrats and just become republicans.
