This is, ultimately, not a messaging problem then. Or even a government relations problem. It's a product problem. Either everyone likes the product or you don't get to build it, at least not near them. bsky.app/profile/dmnd... /fin

Did you hear about the old timey gold prospector who was nonbinary? Found a fortune up in them/their hills.
this issue was just in front of the Supreme Court, and the case was the state of West Virginia against a middle school girl. which side sounds braver to you?
one aggressive hardball thing I would like to see happen is blue states coordinating to have deliberately contradictory and difficult to navigate regulatory environments for hostile regime-aligned businesses such as X. what red states did with abortion pre dobbs.
Dude WTF? This is MY article. You can’t just copy and paste it in full. IDGAF if it has the website (Mile High Sports). You cannot just take an entire article and repost it. I’ve seen this site do this for months. It’s bullshit plagiarism.

The "rural" for a lot of "rural" white voters is aesthetic. It's a lifestyle choice, not their livelihood. So you can't win them with policies that help rural areas. Their interest in "rural issues" begins & ends with the view from their porch & property values.
This needs to be said out loud: The Blazers are negotiating in bad faith. If matters progress to the court room, the team's conduct is not going to be viewed favorably.
Trail Blazers, city of Portland finally meet, but distance to arena deal remains ‘significant’ (Gift Article)

Both conservatives *and* lefties constantly mistake "markets existing" for "capitalism." It's the same thing conservatives have done to "socialism" — they have watered down all meaning
Mei, lvl. 38 Warlock of the Expensive Paper@meithemouse.bsky.social · 6d agoI do think a lot of folks really don't understand that Capitalism is, in fact, a specific kind of economic structure, and not the original sin of mankind. (Redacted cause it's more illustrative of an issue in left-of-center politics and not the posters in particular)

Pretty sure *some* Republicans have said that they want to make abortion illegal, and nobody ran up to them like "shush you can't say that what about the moderates"
I'm so sick of these conspiracy theories wrecking social media interactions and making us all suspicious of each other like we're all evil Ukrainian Nazis stealing the West's money to oppress their native, historically Russian residents.

Approximately 1 out of 3 women will experience sexual and/or physical abuse in their lifetime and you still have men claiming that allegations must be false because there are too many of them. It’s actually the opposite. The vast majority allegations will never become public
If the entire Democratic Party is being asked by the press and pundits about a few DSA candidates in NYC, it seems like the entire Republican Party should be asked about their colleague who has been credibly accused -- by another colleague's daughter -- of repeated acts of violence.

Give SNAP to everyone instead. We've already got the structure, let's use it
Steven Lucy@slucy.bsky.social · last wk.👋Grocery store owner here. A big grocery store chain has profits like 1%-2% of gross sales. That means if a city-run store is as efficient (unlikely), anything more than a 1% discount is a subsidy. Probably better to hand out subsidies to low income residents directly.
Much like Câmara, in some respects, when I articulate 200 year old arguments for liberal rights and liberal constitutional forms, people call me a leftist. It's no one else's fault that the alleged """center""" has embraced being ideologically impoverished as a mark of maturity.
