Write it on the blackboard a thousand times: they will have to demolish the ballroom, the arch and so forth. They will have to make a show of it. You will get the usual sons of bitches saying we don’t do that in this country. We do now. That is not emotion, it’s politics. To do less is dereliction.

I want to give a huge shout out to all of bluesky, especially to my followers who have tolerated 3 days of spamming ActBlue, because this website has officially funded 20% of a state house campaign in Kansas. That isn't a misstatement. 20% of the planned fundraising was done here in < 36 hours.
utopia deferred@utopia-defer.red · 5d agoI am officially helping to take lead for a fundraiser involving a state house candidate in KS-3, last held by a Dem only 8 years ago. Without revealing fundraising goals, just know a few thousand dollars would go hundreds of miles in this race. Please consider it: secure.actblue.com/donate/isaia...
And yet allowing it to happen is the literal definition of supporting it.
Oliver Darcy@oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 3d ago“Everyone considers it fucking nuts.” Inside Apple, I'm told "not a soul" supports Donald Trump's Lake Ontario rebrand to "Lake America," but the company is also resigned to making such concessions to avoid the White House's rage.

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.
We should be lucky if this ends up redefining the conventional wisdom of "effective engagement"
Adam Gurri@adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com · last wk.One thing that really struck me when I was looking at @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's social media use for this is that, despite having a reputation for effectively engaging on it, *he never replies to anyone on any platform*. He does video responses to some things or categories of things. Not convos
Something else - and no, I’m not making an original point here — that endlessly infuriates me about the trump administration’s siege of Springfield Ohio is that the Haitians are there primarily because they were invited there, largely by local conservative political and business leaders…
We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.
"Lake America" instantly just absolutely clogged with algae. Six uniformed National Guard guys standing on a beach dumping windex into it. It smells like a turtle tank.
As I never tire of pointing out, this marked the first time a man named Zebulon was blown up while attempting to invade Toronto.
ℳatt@matttomic.bsky.social · last wk.The last time the Americans tried to claim Lake Ontario in 1813, we intentionally lured them into Fort York and then blew up our entire gunpowder magazine to kill as many Americans as possible. A foundation part of Toronto history is "blowing our own fort to smithereens rather than being American"
