I think it's bad that a South African Nazi can spend almost 300 million on the U.S. midterms (gift link).

The world’s richest person has quietly become by far the biggest known midterm donor, trying to save Republicans’ Senate majority with some of the largest donations in American political history.

this is correct: the USPS rule is about mailing *to* voters (not *from*) we have an explainer on this! boltsmag.org/mail-voting-...
Michael Anderson@michaelander45.bsky.social · last mo.Just to be 100% clear here I just read the source materials and the whistle blower is describing the process for handling ballots that the state is mailing TO voters.
Nope. Enough of this horseshit game. It is possible for a significant number of people with money, people whose circumstance benefits from current economic models to commit to the reform and transformation of those models -- even against their personal interest. This is hollow, empty shit.
Malcolm P. Johnson@admiralmpj.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhen the Times this month profiled Mr. Gordillo, who studied fine arts at Yale, the reporter asked him where he lived. The question was relevant, in part, because many of the high-profile activists are the offspring of affluent parents: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/22/n...
the fact that we end up in a war between online leftists and spreadsheet people mostly indicates that online leftists don't have jobs
never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 3mo agoInvestment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his “Liberation Day” tariffs, his financial disclosure report says.
All of these can be true at the same time: 1) The suspension reversal was corrupt 2) No FIFA rules were violated (Art 27) 3) Art 27 is ridiculous 4) This is not nearly FIFA's most corrupt action 5) FIFA's history of corruption doesn't justify this corruption 6) The red card by VAR was BS
Corrupt lounge lizard Trump flying on his gilded Qatari jet to honor trust-busting outdoorsman Teddy Roosevelt pins the irony meter to the peg.
It should be illegal to have an ad for your own network saying something is “up next” when it’s not for 5 hours
this truly is the thing that makes the united states exceptional, and right wingers hate it so much they want to destroy it
Quantian@quantian.bsky.social · 5mo agoUS universities genuinely are like “welcome to Tennessee Agricultural College in Bumfuck Nowheresville. We invented the modern potato and our facilities include a particle accelerator, nuclear reactor, and TOP500 supercomputer. Tuition is $12,000 for instate students and we have 40,000 of them”
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Trump’s insane war is starting to contract our entire economy.
4 days ago, NPR reported that the Trump administration is still withholding, in violation of the Epstein files statutes, 37 pages of documents that implicate him in the rape of a child. This should end his presidency. www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...
Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump
The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

This is what Rumsfeld would call an Unnoem Unnoem
"The president had DOJ illegally cover up documents about allegations he sexually assaulted a child after Congress specifically passed a law requiring they be disclosed" is, in and of itself, enough to merit rapid removal from office regardless of how true or credible the underlying allegation is.
Rep. Raskin: “I think that the DOJ has been in a cover-up mode for many months and has been trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug…There's no way you run a billion-dollar international child sex trafficking ring with just two people committing crimes.”
I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 9mo agoSo which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?
Once again, the fact that we are betraying the Danes & have betrayed the Canadians - quite, literally, the closest of our closest treaty allies - this way is a national shanda that should have immediately ended this presidency a year ago & should immediately end it now.
Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 9mo agoI think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying
