El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
the problem these people have can be boiled down to a simple binary: (a) they look down on every person on earth but (b) they are the lowest of all people on earth. they venerate "civilization" but themselves are wholly uncivilized. sanctimonious and judgmental, criminals and antisocial scum
this sounds elitist but our recovery from the present moment will depend in part on being able to once again effectively malign, ostracize, and refuse a platform to cranks
[Christopher M. Federico]@chrispps.bsky.social · last wk.I don't stan Fauci in any mawkish resistlib way but I do not blame him for not wanting to play along on television with a gaggle of conspiracy-addled degenerates who are objectively beneath him in terms of intellect, culture, and values
I designed an extremely aggressive and difficult to parse out new shirt about a plague that is ravaging the country, please help me raise awareness. roryblank.bigcartel.com
It would help a lot if a lot of journalists and pundits weren't using Twitter as their assignment editor, several years into its transition into Stormfront.
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 2w agoIt is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
Colonel Kurtz and I didn’t always agree on everything, but I never questioned his sincerity
the reason we dont have medicare for all is bc corporations need employer based healthcare to keep you chained to your desk in a job you hate that doesnt pay you what youre worth
NPR@npr.org · 2w agoAbout 24% of U.S. employees stay in unwanted jobs just for health insurance, a report out Wednesday finds. Up significantly since 2021, the uptick in "job lock" is a concerning sign for the U.S. economy. n.pr/4gQIY5E
space data centers are legitimately the dumbest fucking thing ive ever heard
Bluesky knew the strait of Hormuz, Graham Platner, and AIPAC democrats were all cooked months before the experts did. Meanwhile Twitter was convinced Spencer Pratt would win and the Odyssey would bomb. Which site is the not-real-life echo chamber again?
Christopher Mims@mims.bsky.social · 2w agoextremely funny to me that analysts whose entire job is to think about these possibilities are only now catching up to Bluesky Consensus
starting to wonder if the behavior of a small section of hyper online weirdos drives too much news
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 2w agoThe kids are “Nixonmaxxing”: More than half-a-century after Watergate, conservative youth are discovering the aesthetic, and adopting the attitude, of the late president. 🔗 www.wsj.com/politics/ric...
Herbert Hoover was born in 1874 and died in 1964, which means that every president since Andrew Johnson was alive at the same time as Hoover.
"There must be some explanation for why these people never do the right thing or act with basic humanity" Yeah there must be. Let's start with the likeliest before we do fanfic.
Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.
Tough break for Lindsey Graham, dying of diarrhea induced by the RFK Jr strain of cyclospora. Shit was coming out of both ends. Nothing new for him really but this one was explosive
Lindsey Graham's legacy is captured in 1 tweet (that he never deleted). He knew better but destroyed his legacy by choosing power over principles.
my basic philosophy of not enthusiastically supporting someone who got a Nazi tattoo (absent a hardcore rehabilitation effort) has served me well in life, I think
There is no need for fireworks now with drone shows. No need for pets and vets to cower and for wild life to suffer as well as the pollution and noise. I said what I said.
See, the plan is, you put 1,000 foreign women who all got pregnant at the same time on a hospital ship, and you do that 1,000 times, and then you wait 18 years, and then you move all the babies to Wyoming, and you win a House seat.
Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate
I think being a soccer ref would be a good gig, you get to run back and forth across a big field and Notice Things. You’re basically a professional Golden Retriever.
Denny Carter@dennycarter.bsky.social · last mo.Soccer refs are in Actually Good Shape, unlike NFL refs, who have the fake RFK Jr. musculature
