Why are the poors voting for socialism instead of dying for capitalism are they stupid or something? The media
one thing is for certain: "vote blue no matter who" is definitely dead, killed by centrist libs the moment it inconvenienced them.
I could have sworn "stolen valor" was a thing Turns out it was just something else Republicans never actually gave a shit about Draft-dodging PoS
on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...
This guy says ignore trans rights in favor of protecting ICE victims. But others argue we have to stop talking about ICE in favor of protecting women's rights or labor organizing. It's why "let's protect human rights selectively" is a losing strategy; no one agrees who to throw under the bus.
get you someone who loves you like how much these pols fucking love shotspotter lol its all responsible fiscal stewardship and evidence based policy until it comes to policing, where theres just magic bean money for complete fairytale bullshit

I think I've seen at least three mayoral candidates now say that we need to A) balance the budget, B) reduce property taxes, and C) hire more cops does math work differently where they are from than it does here

What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.
Huh. So, I decided today to try restarting Facebook, which I've been off of for a while. Figured I'd make a new account, see if I could do a small number of things without a poisoned algorithm. It's literally impossible for me to login with a new account. It just keeps going back to the login.
My friend @rajivmote.bsky.social is a very good writer.

As petition season starts tomorrow for Chicago municipal elections: If you sign a petition for someone and then sign another for someone else running for the same seat, whoever notorized the petition first is who you help. 1/2
In the run up to the first fully elected representative school board in Chicago’s history, only one candidate has Vic Mensa’s endorsement (and it ain’t Rhymefest). It’s Hilario Dominguez, for CPS Board President. www.instagram.com/reel/DbWrT5_...

I used to think that, and I do think police agencies are mafia organizations with the mob bosses in the cop 'unions', but it was pretty clear to me that a lot of politicians saw the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 as basically equivalent to a scary slave rebellion which they wanted put down.
Chicago educators facing mass layoffs crash the National Conference of State Legislatures to read “Oh, the Schools JB Could Fund” as Gov. Pritzker, Speaker Welch, and Senate Pres. Harmon address the convention at McCormick Place.
The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.
zohran is a completely normal (mixed-market socialist/new-deal liberal/whatever) and it’s completely frying the brains of people with too much money or whose livelihoods are built on catering to the opinions of people with too much money
The whole trans girls in sports discussion is absolutely being used to propagandize people into being transphobic bellends. In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five. In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President. You're being manipulated. Please stop.
What amuses me is that Gavin Newsome could have probably ridden this shit all the way to the White House if he’d kept his yap close about trans girls in sports. Now no matter what he does in response to this Trump manufactured crisis, all I’ll ever think is “you raised a kid who likes Charlie Kirk.”

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
About 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
This shit sounds like magic to normies but someone left an open door at a data warehouse and some other useless wanker left a Roomba roaming around a public space and the Roomba wandered into the open door.
Maybe I can help. Vaccines are a product of natural sciences that study unchanging physical properties and while imperfect, are the best chance we have at understanding the world around us. Economics, however, is simply astrology for pedophiles
very tired of pretending that dismissing modern economics is somehow more reasonable than dismissing vaccines. if you’re not an expert, you don’t get to pick and choose parts of a field to believe! you have no way to tell between legitimate and illegitimate results in that field!
I've never seen a better description of the entire Never Trump project than this. Welcome them into our tent, our protests, but only on our terms. Never let them steer the ship, control the conversations. And if they can't stifle the impulse to be douchebags, out on their asses they go.
the thing former republicans don’t get about themselves is they are parasitic organisms who got chased out of their party by a stronger predator, and they don’t care about our victory at all, their singular goal is transforming the democratic party into a copy of the gop that was stolen from them
“While the world does not revolve around you, the world would be incomplete without you.” A great message to our young people, from @govwesmoore.bsky.social Wes Moore, Governor or Maryland, speaking to delegates at the American Federation of Teachers.
The luddites were labor rights organizers, and they were absolutely right. As an educator today, I am a Neo-Luddite. I will not stand by and watch these soulless machines destroy the quality of the work I do.
