The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
The most reliable indicator that a politician is about to drop out of a race or quit their job is the filming of a non-apology video while wearing casual clothes in a kitchen. We should invent a term for it.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3d agoRep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."
Imagine devoting your life to public health, responding to two major pandemics, and then having to talk with these dipshits
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"
Let's assume that's true – who was Fauci reporting to and why didn't that person do something about it?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.RFK Jr: "Because of Dr Fauci's leadership and other reasons, we had the highest mortality rate from covid of any country in the world" #OtherReasons 🙃
Beaucoup de bla-bla et de mensonges sur la lutte anti incendie, donc Bon Pote a analysé les votes par parti depuis 2022 à l’Assemblée nationale. Désormais, vous savez qui se bat vraiment pour les pompiers et notre survie. À partager massivement !
Just an absolute shout out to everyone out there who helped manufacture doubt around the question of this guy being a Nazi, particularly after the Nazi salute.
Snigdha@snig.bsky.social · 2w agoTweet from Elon Musk: “Anyone who opposites remigration is a traitor” posted yesterday.
Reminder: This was a 6-5 vote in the Board of Supervisors. Someone visiting the waterfront today would think it nuts that anyone opposed it.

As per the arguments of the Trump admin to the Supreme Court, a birth certificate also wouldn't count unless you *also* have proof of your parent's immigration status / citizenship at the time of your birth. Good fucking luck to all poll workers checking all of this.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 2w agoThe SAVE America Act mandates that all voters must bring to the polls specifically a photo ID which has proof of citizenship “on the front of the document.” So REAL IDs don’t count. If the ID does not precisely conform to that standard, you must also bring separate proof of citizenship.
Every faux intellectual profile of these ghouls is an editorial choice to not profile someone running an abortion support network, a union drive or an ICE rapid response group.
This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning
How dare they do this to the person on top of the Substack recommendation charts
Yashar Ali 🐘@yasharali.bsky.social · 3w ago1. BREAKING Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested in Miami by the U.S. Marshals Service. Statement below from the U.K.’s Crown Prosecution Service about additional charges being filed against the brothers. The Tate brothers are now facing a total of 59 charges.
1. Fire all employees on week 1 of a Democratic administration. Everyone. No exceptions. 2. Start now to pull together state-based ICE People's Assemblies. Collect testimonies about impacts on your communities. Release reports by December 2028. 3. REPARATIONS for all ICE victims - $$ & citizenship
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 3w agoI’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.
I try not to overdo this bit but ... my man is begging for it. Let's go.
PEIPolitical 🇨🇦@peipolitical.bsky.social · 3w agoMiller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli
Additionally, it drives me crazy that the default position in this country is that being here undocumented is a crime. It’s not. Further, legal status isn’t a factor in whether someone should be murdered.
Ahmed Baba@ahmedbaba.bsky.social · 3w agoIt’s impossible to move the debate forward when one side is committed to upholding a disinformation-fueled, dehumanizing false reality that leads to the state-sanctioned street killings of innocent people. There are not two sides to this particular story. Full stop.
At this point I would not be surprised to learn that Platner is a GOP asset tasked with getting Collins reelected
Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · 4w agoWhat Platner is doing right now is trying to ignite an intra-party nuclear exchange, so that he can tell the Maine Democrats that THE PEOPLE will not accept anything but him or his designated successor. This is the kind of thing Trump would do.
Serious question: Does the president not know what’s in the deal he made with Iran? There are no nuclear concessions in the MOU Trump signed. He is a serial liar and would overstate any gains, but on top of that, there’s a live possibility Vance/Kushner/Witkoff lied to him that they got side deals.

Dogshit performance What's the point of having 100 cameras and 10 refs if no one is acting on blatant red-warranting fouls? This is incentivizing violence and injuries
Kai Ryssdal@kairyssdal.bsky.social · last mo.Well, that’s the last game for this ref
TAPPING THE SIGN. THIS REF IS CREATING INCENTIVES TO INJURE PLAYERS.
Liz Sepper@lsepper.bsky.social · last mo.THAT REF IS TRASH. STINKING GARBAGE
it was 5-4 on what should be the most dog-brained fucking easy question in history, i wouldn’t be popping the champagne personally
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov · last mo.Despite Trump’s best efforts to bully them, the Supreme Court just reaffirmed that if you are born in America, you belong in America.
Unbelievably complacent. This is a 5-4 split for a law that is spelled out in painfully clear terms right in the Constitution. The Dems are completely missing the moment.

It’s going to be completely obvious in retrospect what the 2020s signified for the balance of geopolitics. It’s only inside the belly of Washington that it’s not already.
Chris Meder@evcurvefuturist.com · last mo.🚨 China just became the first country in history to surpass 4 TW of installed electricity capacity. • 4.01 TW total capacity • 62% non-fossil • 61% renewable • ~1.5% nuclear • 32% coal (down from 61% in 2010) China's electricity system is now roughly 1.7× larger than the US and EU combined.
