i’m never gonna be able to fire a cruise missile yet the question of using my tax dollars for them has never been up for debate
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
just a reminder that you don't hate the mods here nearly as much as you should
The Verge@theverge.com · 3d agoBluesky'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."

Sanho Tree@sanho.bsky.social · 4d ago“Chevron just announced its highest quarterly earnings ever. Shell clocked its second-highest quarterly profits. And while ExxonMobil's profits came in beneath what Wall Street analysts had expected, it still managed to double its earnings compared with this time last year.“ Tax them into oblivion.🤬
The Republican Party has gone full mask-off Nazi; meanwhile the media narrative being pushed 24/7 is “ahhh! Democrats are being taken over by socialist radicals!!” and their terrifying examples are Miss Rachel, a doctor who wants you to have healthcare, and the friendliest mayor in American history.

the only time cops suffer consequences is when they mess with other cops depressingly easy to see how they all end up Like That

Squishiness on trans rights is a dealbreaker for me because (a) it’s a straightforward issue of personal freedom and bodily autonomy much like abortion, and (b) the right is obviously coming after us cis gays next.
ashley 🌹@clearlyashley.bsky.social · last wk.trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry
Just had to take a road trip to Maryland and back. Keep forgetting just how beautiful MD is. Just, amazing landscape. Love it.
I'd add to this: "Defund the police" wasn't a slogan, it was a political and societal necessity. The alternative to defunding the police was the further solidification of an unaccountable proto-fascist paramilitary with strong right wing leanings. We're living the result now with the ICE and etc.
It’s not a slogan. It’s a cause. Abolishing slavery was a cause, and everything that’s written below about prison abolition was written about abolition of slavery. It’s good to have causes, if they are just.
@takethepith.bsky.social · last wk."Abolish Prisons" is a slogan that will immediately turn off 95% of people, regardless of the nuances in the literature. Far more harmful than helpful. The right clearly always wanted to make abortion illegal and punish women who got them. But they didn't make that their slogan! They knew better!

1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.
do you think a single woman who has ever accused a prominent man of sexual assault has had it improve their lives? it is a tremendously brave action precisely because coming forward usually ruins your life instead go fuck yourselves
The Republican Party must be destroyed as a functional political entity. But conservatism itself must be eradicated in any way that resembles it's modern existence. There is nothing to save. There is nothing that deserves your respect.
National Democrats hide behind so-called rules that don’t exist. Republicans ignore actual laws and write new ones that subvert the Constitution itself. Democrats have brought Roberts Rules of Order to a gunfight for years and it’s a predictable massacre. My latest for the Courier Journal.
Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."
