I can assure you that DSA is not backed by the Heritage Foundation. this Bulwark guy is, though
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · yesterday"The DSA—the official organ—is forking nuts. So nuts that if you told me that the DSA was a false flag operation run by the Heritage Foundation in order to discredit the Democratic party, it would make sense." Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social:
This man is bribed regularly so that more of us will die needlessly and he accepts that bargain for his own benefit. When I say regularly on here that there isn't that much difference between the parties this is what I mean.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoWELKER: Do democratic socialists belong in the Dem Party? JEFFRIES: What I can say is I do not support defunding the police, I do not support open borders, I do not support abolishing the Senate.

I dont tune in like i used to, but I knew I had to go out of my way to listen to the latest Chapo when I heard military servicemen are wanting to kill themselves on a big boat
No, I can't say that I find a NYT writer being obsequious to a member of Trump's orbit to be surprising.
Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com · 6d agoOne you might find surprising. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt & members of her team have been extremely helpful in responding to questions I raise. Regardless of public facing commentary, privately they are willing to engage and address questions. And I have appreciated that. Thank you
People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.
awkword@awkword.bsky.social · 7mo agoICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.
Why would they ask for his resignation? The WV GOP ensured that child marriage remained legal in the state. This is just conservative politics in practice.

"Creation of national service" is one of those ideas that pundits have been putting in the "solutions" chapter of their airport books for 30 years and has no political juice whatsoever. "Vote for me, I'll force your kid to volunteer!"

He's right and this whole thread got me angrier the more I read, more I remembered. Basic human rights thrown out the door for unconditional support for Israel. Going on a love tour with a Cheney. It must be really hard to win an election while you constantly hit yourself in the junk with a hammer
rich traditions@helldude.bsky.social · last mo.this is the funniest argument ever, honestly. no one even wanted her to run a *good* campaign. we asked that she not eviscerate herself unnecessarily. uncommitted would have settled for one palestinian saying platitudes about peace. that was a bridge too far

Rufo has now primed Klein to accept the first step in the radicalisation pipeline of irrational fear over 'large-scale demographic change'. Klein is now openly affirming the 'concerns' underlying the Great Replacement Theory in The New York Times. Great job, Klein! You did it! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
narrowing section 230 ensures only giants like meta have the resources to allow for people to post on their platforms while everyone else has no choice but to end their user-created content platforms. this is just big tech trying to make the internet consist of only their walled gardens

In the 4 years since Roe v Wade was overturned there have been over 400 pregnancy related prosecutions. Maternal mortality is up 33% nationwide and 50% in some states. We are being criminalized and murdered. That’s the legacy of Dobbs

Vituperative Erb@vituperativeerb.bsky.social · 2mo agoI feel it’s sort of underrated the extent to which a Dem Congress and/or states could (1) absolutely destroy car dealerships as a business, and (2) this would cripple a lot of GOP state and local parties
