it’s actually crazy how every Republican who claims they will stand up to Trump is just a total cuck with a humiliation fetish
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"
l'd like to make one thing perfectly clear: ain't *no one* gonna break-a my stride.
It is funny that this person thinks “immigrants defended the union while native born whites sought to destroy it in the name of slavery” is an argument against immigrants being Americans. This is precisely the point, nothing about being born here makes you better bsky.app/profile/aphc...
Alexander Clarkson@aphclarkson.bsky.social · 4d agoAnother datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right
@sarahtaber.bsky.social's threads about farming and rural politics/economics are consistent bangers and I learn so much important stuff from her
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 5d agoSo rural employment is low-key a giant GOP patronage network. Anybody who speaks out against GOP politics stays unemployed! And/or has to leave! THAT is the real secret to GOP dominance in rural areas. It's not "messaging." It's gatekeeping livelihoods.
This is the kinda fight I want from Dem leadership

I get apoplectic thinking about this shit. I still find it hard to believe that he's President again. We are, as a country, unimaginably stupid.
Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social · 6d agoThe Fauci hearing was a disgrace. Here are some reminders of how it really went down in 2020. Never forget.
I cordially invite these dipshits to follow me around for a couple of hours.
Scott Bryan@scottygb.bsky.social · last wk.Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”
Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.
The anti-Fauci crowd are all dumb or full of shit, or dumb *and* full of shit.
Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social · 7d agoAside from its many other problems, the idea Fauci was America's power-abusing covid dictator is somewhat complicated by the fact that he never had the power to do the things they're mad about. His recommendations bound nobody and were not particularly rigorously followed by the actual policymakers.
I have long been of the opinion that this guy fucking sucks
Post-Left Watch@postleftwatch.bsky.social · 7d agoCenk Uygur says that Dr. Fauci having dinner with CNN anchors was part of a plot to coordinate messaging and add that Fauci was "using the media to intimidate and bully the rest of us into compliance."
I think he just got confused and thought fauci was the guy who’s been beating his daughter
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"
See, how the AP carries water, in its headline, for these right wing assholes. The overwhelming evidence points to a wet market origin of COVID-19. At the time we barely had any data, now we have a bunch. That's how science works.
Yeah this is the other thing, it's a local program testing whether these stores can sustainably solve a specific food desert problem in specific neighborhoods. Like grandiose claims about feeding people or societal-scale food insecurity are simply irrelevant
Noah@ncallaway.bsky.social · last wk.The thing that's weird about all this discussion is...it's 5 stores in NYC. It's a tiny drop in the bucket. It's a pilot program. It's not being *pitched* as a solution to food insecurity at scale.
The "industy veterans" at 60 Minutes who laugh or groan at each of these no "experience with what we do" appointments seem to be overlooking the possibility that what they do will be changed by Bari Weiss— radically and right in front of them. www.status.news/p/60-minutes...
if there’s any clear indication of elite impunity it’s the fact that the mainstream press has moved Ross Douthat toward increasingly visual formats
Oliver Darcy@oliverdarcy.bsky.social · last wk.Scoop: I’m told that Ross Douthat is exiting The NYT and is expected to take a role at “60 Minutes.” News expected to be announced soon.
"The biggest advantage of extremism is that it makes you feel good, because it provides you with enemies, [then] you can pretend that all the badness in the whole world is in your enemies, and all the goodness in the whole world is in you" - John Cleese, 1987. And we thought he was being ironic.

Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

A gentle reminder. We are all birthright citizens for the law recognizes that our parents are irrelevant to the question of our status.
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 2w agoMarco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.
A letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after he was murdered by ICE.
Every so often I get FB memories of posts of mine from like fifteen years ago where I'm arguing with antivax dumbasses and…jfc look where we are now.
Coach Finstock@coachfinstock.bsky.social · 2w agoI know Musk is high on the list of Most Responsible For How Things Are but the person I loathe most is Jenny McCarthy and whichever editor/producer platformed her. Once someone decided she knew more than a doctor we were fucked forever. She's the reason people believe TikTok and YouTube.
Risotto was invented by an Italian village idiot who was bothering the other residents: they gave him a spoon, a cup of water and a pot of rice, and told him to just keep stirring
Thanks! As a reminder, this is what we’re mourning.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2w agoWishing a peaceful Tisha B’Av to Jewish New Yorkers across the five boroughs. From sundown tonight until tomorrow, mourners will pause and reflect on the history and resiliency of the Jewish people. May all observing have a safe and meaningful fast.
