Extremely good first season and then a complete misunderstanding of what made the show work (that the kindness is supposed to be underneath it all, not slathered like caulk into every gap)

if hating on ted lasso, the tv equivalent of widdle baby kitten with big wet anime eyes, makes me a bad person, then i am a bad person sorry

And if your response is, "but I, a person who lives in a wealthy and largely food self-sufficient country, do not like the modern economy" fucking miss me with that. I am not particularly interesting in letting millions of Asians and Africans starve so your politics can be trendy.

There is no conflict of rights between cis women and trans women, only a conflict between the goals anti-trans, anti-feminist hate groups and the broad interests of all women

hey is anyone hiring

the biggest presidential scandal in history. jeffrey epstein was a close friend and business associate of trump and they did crimes together! against children! its all pretty much out in the open now but its a smaller story than hillary's email server was for some reason

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

kshama sawant:

It is just unequivocally really really relay good that we did not nominate someone who holds a view that is representative of 5% of the Democratic Party electorate on an issue that is only increasingly divisive.

Senator is actually one of the jobs where your views on foreign policy matter most and it's a genuinely incredible thing that the Democratic candidate for Michigan is someone who wants to end aid to Israel, Egypt and the UAE and not a mindless drone who wanted to give Netanyahu another $20B.

What the fuck are we even doing here?

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Rep. Haley Stevens and I shared a call this morning. She loves democracy like I love democracy. Whatever differences we might've had in the primary pale in comparison to what unifies us. All of us have to come together to make sure that we never let Mike Rogers see the US Senate.

The co-founder of the 2024 National Uncommitted Movement, Abbas Alawieh, decisively won his primary to become a State Senator in Michigan. Abbas was endorsed by both Bernie Sanders and Gretchen Whitmer. Abbas Alawieh also privately met with former VP Kamala Harris last month upon her request.

He backed several Black CBC incumbents in 2024 when the leadership left them out to dry. Is Jamaal Bowman not black enough for them?

correct are you serious about beating fascism or not? get in, we’re beating them in november you can be mad, you can be disappointed, but at the end of the day having someone with D in any and all seats is better than having someone with an R in them

I meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.

Ok it’s pretty funny that she managed to not only lose but get absolutely blown out and then became the only notable primary loser from last night to refuse to support the winner

I've seen a lot of things where people are like, "RFK is just promoting healthy eating," and it's amazing what branding can do, because as far as I've seen, the main dietary things that RFK has pushed are the importance of eating fast food fried in a particular animal fat and drinking raw milk.

I'm calling it: "Start smoking" is going to be mainstream MAHA / Republican health advice by 2028. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A lot of very horrible people are learning that Black voters and affluent suburban voters are not their Emotional Support Electorate(TM) but real humans with real agency and their own political priorities and concerns and they are going to lash out in incredibly nasty ways.

⚠️ Democrats in array: Schumer, Gillibrand, and Whitmer coalesce behind El-Sayed

I think people want change/a fighter but a previous incumbent who got primaried is not really anyone’s idea of how to do it

Vibecession Forever@ghazelleberner.bsky.social · 16h ago

I don’t think there’s enough vote for Stevens left but this will be a close result. My hope is that the El-Sayed/DSA/far left contingent don’t get despondent but realize that both factions need each other. It’s time to cut the shit and fight MAGA, not Democrats.

That is wild. It’s right around when I first got it.

Jan 22 was the third deadliest month of the entire pandemic. 84,000 people died. That is a NUTS number. So, it was impossible to shut down bars and restaurants again so some areas they kept schools closed. Should schools have been open while bars and rests closed? Sure. Maybe. It wasn’t an option

the whole 'nothing has gotten better' discourse is of course fucking stupid in a million ways, but I just wanted to note that average dog lifespan in the United States has increased by two years since 2000.

ATTENTION TO ALL DEM TAX CUT SLOPULISTS

we moan a lot about the corrosive impact of massive spending by whoever on elections and, no it's certainly not great, but we also have a shit ton of data points saying you really can't buy someone into federal office

you know i'm starting to think she just hates holidays for their own sake, not even as a woke thing

there's a lot of people across the political spectrum who simply cannot process the fact that ethnicity is a social construct, that many ethnicities did not exist within the lifetime of living people, and that nevertheless ethnicity is an extremely real thing that ppl will kill or die for

Pseudotsuga@pseudotsuga86.bsky.social · 18h ago

I think it's both true that Israel is a colonial project that continues to engage in colonialism and that Israeli identity is in fact a real thing. The notion that without Israel all the Israelis would embrace their true wholesome identity as Europeans or Arabs or whatever is complete lunacy

“Socialist” magazine that famously fired half its staff for trying to unionize has more Hitler particles than a 60’s NASA staff lounge. Many such cases

at the end of the day there are only a few positive reasons you go to a hospital, childbirth being the most prominent. the vast majority of interactions ppl have with healthcare is when something is wrong with them or they are checking to see ir something is wrong, social democracy cannot fix that

oh my god no it does not. Canada has maha type cranks. The UK does. Japan does, Germany does, Sweden does, India does, France does IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MATERIAL CONDITIONS OF THE SYSTEM, WHICH YES ARE BROKEN MAHA IS A EUGENICS MOVEMENT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

"you got a social housing bill through the legislature, assemblymember lee? that pales in comparison to OUR solution, holding a hundred forums on social housing so that shanti singh can feel like a very special little girl without ever actually breaking ground on a social housing project"

ready to support the SF social housing ballot initiative and Scott Wiener in the November election, annoying all of you 🤷

Who …. isn’t buried in Grant’s tomb after all?
