"Why should my tax dollars go to giving houses to people who can't afford them?" Why should MY tax dollars should go to satisfying your desire to see desperate people living desperate lives? I'd rather save money and solve the problem, rather than spend money to exacerbate it.
The left already has a framework to disempower the predatory health care and insurance industries you can just do that without saying dumb fucking shit like MAHA
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · last mo.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.
Here's yet another figure about whose direct connection to Republicans our Hasan Piker-obsessed media seems to have scant curiosity or follow-through.

Also, the people who ADMITTED they were lying to everyone about trans people in bathrooms are not telling the truth about trans people in sports!
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · last wk."I am pro-trans generally, but anti-trans when it comes to sports and I think the concerns about trans athletes are legitimate, but sometimes they go too far" is not a tenable position. People are getting their news in sound bites on TikTok and third-order pundit "analysis" in the WSJ and NYT.
What a chauvinist fucking pig this guy is.
NBC10 Boston@nbcboston.com · 2w agoFormer NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday night's Indiana-Chicago WNBA game after Sky guard Natasha Cloud yelled and pointed in his direction late in the third quarter. Here's what happened. on.nbcboston.com/brmgLMU
No, I'm not giving money to JK Rowling. No, I'm not going to Mel Gibson movies. No, I'm not posting on X. No, I'm not subscribing to Substacks. No, I'm not donating to the Republican Party. And no, I'm not using Chat Fucking GPT.
I can't stop thinking about this. Democratic voters are screaming at their elected officials that they want more fight, better policy, less centrist mush. Will those in office get the message?
Alex Rikleen formerly for Senate@rikleen.bsky.social · 4w agoMinnesota turning into a Flanagan blowout is such a huge deal. There were 4 Senate races in blue states w/o an incumbent Dem on the ballot (IL, ME, MI, MN). In all 4, Schumer recruited a candidate and the voters said "absolutely not". Schumer is an anchor. The party should figure it out.
on the one hand we could use state and federal money to make our roads safer based on a plan which was written by professionals and which has proven successful elsewhere. but on the other hand a couple of guys don't like it so who's to say which side is right really
TOTC Show@totcshow.bsky.social · last mo.Plan to transform Chandler Street divides Worcester neighborhood It may seem like a niche issue but people are worked up about the proposed road changes to May and Chandler near Worcester State www.telegram.com/story/news/l...

Take a moment to remember that a sex criminal with more nazi tattoos than prior electoral campaigns ran on a boilerplate progressive platform in Maine and got 72% of the Democratic vote. I think voters might have been picking up some of what he was putting down.
Matthew Noe (Vacation)@noethematt.bsky.social · last mo.Fearing that progressives will lose general elections but centrists will win them is illogical Have you even been paying attention
you have been visited by "Le Boulanger Quebecois" repost to receive his blessing
If you're involved in Democratic politics and don't think you can win the rhetoric fight against some of the most brazenly open fear-mongering horseshit ever produced by political strategists, then frankly you suck at politics and shouldn't be doing it.
Scott Witte@scottwitte.bsky.social · last mo.Tom, suburban, college educated women are scared of “boys in girls sports”. Not arguing it, but that’s what polling shows. Same with runaway DEI and open borders. Again, not gonna argue, that’s just what reality is. If Dems stick to those things, independents and mod Rs are lost, again.
I just need one anti-trans activist to come out and be transparent and say: - Trans people playing sports isn't a real issue, it's just a lie made up by anti-LGBTQ special interest groups who can't otherwise advance their ideology on its merits.
Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · last mo.This post got a lot of traction on Twitter, and it's driving me nuts because this IS what "trans activists" have been saying for years and years. It's impossible to have a discussion on this topic when people refuse to acknowledge what one side is actually arguing.
It’s not just ICE. It’s DHS & Border Patrol, too, that needs dismantling. ICE was a vestige of Homeland Security built after 911 to persecute Muslims. They’re all connected. All working toward the same goal.
I've seen people who are reasonably wary of a business guy, but Kleban's politics predate (and drive) his business. I wish he hadn't been railroaded out of the initial primary, because I think people would have seen that. He's one of the most conscientious people I've ever met, not just in beer
Dave Infante@dinfontay.com · 2mo agoMaine Beer Co. owner Dan Kleban, a hopeful to replace Graham Platner as D Senate challenger to unseat longtime R Senator Susan Collins this November, is out with a statement about the ICE-involved shooting in Biddeford this morning: "This shit has to stop" dankleban.substack.com/p/ill-hold-i...

I've had two thoughts ever about Janet Mills, 1) she deserved all the flowers the media drummed up for Desantis during covid, and 2) she absolutely should have never gotten into this Senate race.
Drew Starr@thedrewstarr.bsky.social · 2mo agoOh wait, it was of course fucking Chuck Schumer who fucked this up. I didn't see this story when it came out. Schumer torpedoed the Kleban campaign
It's fine if the neocons want to crash on the Democrats' couch for a while, but polite guests don't start swinging sledgehammers like this, Tom.
Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · 2mo agoIf the message from some of you here is "it's okay to be Stalinists because our opponents are Nazis," be ready for the possibility that - given that choice - people will choose Nazis.
If the corporate world finds Joe Biden unacceptable - and by every measure, this was the case - then there is no Democrat alive today corporations would find acceptable. I think 2028 presidential hopefuls would do well to come to terms with that.
Congrats to all the sociopathic propagandists and religious fundamentalists who fabricated this issue out of thin air on winning their fucking super bowl.

Am I crazy or does this seem like a *massive* overreaction to the result of 3 primaries? In a city that already elected AOC and Mamdani, no less.
