Is it good when the secretary of defense is so fixated on making sure everyone is white and has tv ready abs that he forgets about munitions bsky.app/profile/carl...

Oof. @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

As sure as the sun comes up, there’s a Morning Consult poll showing Trump’s approvals haven’t fallen from the mid-40’s.

folks this is what Vote Blue No Matter Who actually means we buckle down and beat Mike Rogers in November no matter how this finishes

This will get a fraction of the attention that Zohran Mamdani got for calling Netanyahu a war criminal.

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

You can never just move on from this, even after he's gone. Without punishment and ostracism for everyone who has participated in his crime spree over the last 18 months you can forget it- we're all just treading water until the next tyrant

“.. Trump has leveraged his control of the federal government to instead escape the scrutiny that every other modern president, not to mention every other regular taxpayer, has been subject to.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/b...

Republicans love pushing vocational-only education instead of comprehensive-education because they want a healthy supply of low-cost servants and less competition for the professional and boss jobs they want their own kids to have.

Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · yesterday

In a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.

Cool, cool. We’re basically out of ATACMS and PrSM, and we used half our *global* TLAM supply… all for the Strait of Hormuz to still be closed?

It took ten years but Democrat voters finally learned how the game works and that when the opposing party gets in power you tell pollsters The Economy is awful even if nothing has changed from when your guy was in office six months ago.

its very telling that the mainstream media narrative is that dsa has wacky and unreasonable positions when the republican party position is that abortion should be banned, latino families should be put in concentration camps, black people should be shot by cops and transgender people shouldnt exist

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

I’m pretty sure if a court found Obama forceably penetrated a woman and made him pay millions in restitution, it’d be more than a 5 minute story

MAHA do not have bipartisan concerns, they are stupid morons who what to feel special by "doing their own research" (watching youtube videos made by complete idiots) and their king is a guy who is probably, as we speak, eating deep fried chipmunks out of a brown paper bag

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

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

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d ago

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

A caucus of violent, drunk ex-husbands controls three branches of government and both chambers of Congress.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

Same. I have my opinions on candidates and issues but for the next three months the only thing that matters is getting to 51 in the Senate.

If Rep Haley Stevens wins the nomination for Senate, I will do all I can to help her defeat Mike Rogers bc it's not about her--it's about control of the Senate. Would be great to see the pro-Stevens people make same pledge if Abdul El-Sayed wins

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Egregious that so much of the GOP is, during a time of war, fine with the Commander in Chief's decision to defend only the red states. Traitors.

Trump is on the side of Iran and not Minnesota. Congratulations everyone. Apparently J6 wasn't proof enough that he was a danger to the country. Lol

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d ago

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

Well this is true I suppose. trump can’t be bought; he is subscription based. You have to keep bribing him forever www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This should be front-page news: Trump's idiotic, vainglorious war has already used up half of the entire U.S. military supply of interceptor missiles. Trump is risking the national security of the country in a doomed attempt to salve his ego. He must be stopped. www.forever-wars.com/the-math-beh...

We really should have gone to greater lengths to be loudly disgusted by anyone who acted like getting a shot or wearing a mask to prevent the spread of a pandemic virus was worse than being conscripted into the First World War

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

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.

Ron Johnson claims the the "injection injured" are committing mass suicide

In my lifetime I don’t think anything has made me want to give up on this broken country like the mass shared delusion about something that happened just a few years ago. So many brains are just completely gone and they’re not coming back.

Tuberville: "I'll be the governor of Alabama and I promise you we will find out if there's a possibility that we can bring him to Alabama to put him in front of a court and a jury to see if we can put this guy in prison. He killed millions of people, folks."

A tax that is losing money? You can see how this guy managed to bankrupt a casino.

stephen miller killed this couple, as surely as if he'd pulled the trigger himself

Matt Ortega@mattortega.com · last wk.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
