once again noteworthy how the media in these primaries repeatedly portrayed Stevens as a reasonable mainstream Dem and Hong as a "crazy" extremist outside the Dem party. Not just refusing to tell the truth about these candidates but telling people the *opposite* of the truth. It's interesting!
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 60m agogotta say, the contrast between Haley Stevens’ unhinged crashout and Francesca Hong being a no-drama good sport and supporting Dems up and down the ballot is crazy
it's important to remember that things like this didn't "age poorly," they were absurd when they were written, and they collectively contributed to getting this piece of shit elected

Similar to the Hillary Clinton email scandal, if they cannot find a scandal to tar Dems with, they will take something that had been widely accepted and then present it as if its suddenly a taboo scandal. That's because the media like Trump and want to help him tyrannize us. His little helpers!

Guys we can't do SCOTUS expansion or DC statehood because those things worry Elon Musk. We don't want Elon Musk to worry, do we?
Bluesky wants to protect and keep the identities of these dipshits hidden so they can continue to disappear people and ruin lives. it is fucking depressing how so many supposedly well meaning people have bent over backwards to support fascism.
ACLU@aclu.org · 2d agoAfter observers lawfully filmed ICE in a public parking lot, the agents followed their car, boxed them in, and slashed their tire in retaliation. The observers bravely caught the whole thing on video.
I haven't seen this Abdul clip posted here yet, and goddamn this is the ENERGY
The NY Times will publish a hit piece on the Democratic Alaska senate candidate six days before an Election but won't mention a new rape allegation against the President of the United States.
most cheesecake factory locations are in democratic-voting areas of the country. a big success story for the power of dense urban agglomeration opening up high quality consumer niches
the mainstream democrats do not want the republicans to face any consequences because they are on the same team, they are the same people, they are friends and colleages. their job is to occupy the positions of people who could actually oppose the republicans & make sure that never happens
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 4d agoKamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…
No. Your attitude has to be that absolutely nothing will get done. If you’re trying to “pass common-sense legislation to help the American people”in this environment you’re a fucking traitor.

ultimately i find myself siding with people who say things like "the companies destroying the web are bad and we should not be giving them money" over people who say things like "actually, my agent is the one with the spending problem, that's why we need limits" but i guess i'm a hater
Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”
just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.
probably ought to be better known that the republicans party is basically down to a very small number of extremely wealthy donors, and kneecapping even one of them is probably an existential threat to the party
The hidden GOP fundraising weakness is getting worse
Republican candidates’ struggles with online fundraising have left them more reliant on large donors and super PACs.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.
