If Biden made a gaffe this egregious and embarrassing it would be front page news in the New York Times. But now it's just Trump being Trump!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Trump has difficultly pronouncing "Azerbaijan" while taking credit for ending a war between "Azerbaijan and Albania" (he meant Armenia)
A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.
They want to kill any information source the oligarchs don't control. Free access to information not filtered through their brainwashing algorithms is a threat to their control over their hyperreal simulacrum, even in the limited audience that Bluesky has.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · last yr.Truly insane post from The Federalist, which includes the recommendation that the government pressure tech companies to limit access to BlueSky because of the reaction to Kirk's death thefederalist.com/2025/09/15/w...

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
WIRED@wired.com · last yr.NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”
This is a good start, but if you’re a member of Congress you can’t just walk away when they say no. You need to print out a large copy of the law, show it to them, walk in there anyway, and dare them to arrest you
Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social · last yr.ICE denied U.S. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) entry into it’s facility in Chicago.
People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse
And Bundy supporters showed up armed to the teeth and were openly sighting in on federal employees. None of this seemed overly troubling to those on the right. Imagine if these images were of LA protestors aiming in on LAPD officers.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · last yr.When Cliven Bundy and his family occupied federal property and engaged in an armed standoff with federal agents during the Obama administration, Fox News was apoplectic about the outrageous actions of *the government*
Musk's Twitter is now running paid advertising calling for the extrajudicial execution of protesters in Los Angeles. In most countries around the world, this is a criminal act.
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
Trump's latest shitshow is to detract from inflation and his ruinous tariffs. As Hitler and Stalin knew, in times of trouble, find a bogeyman.
WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is unironically one of the best popular narratives about the way privatization of public services destroys local community
jae holzman@jael.bsky.social · last yr.did you know that the automobile companies were the ones behind the death of the mass streetcar movement?
ROBBING A BANK IN BROAD DAYLIGHT IS STILL A FUCKING CRIME, YOU HACK.
He's turning into that projection they did of someone after sitting at a computer for 20 years.
Here's the thing - I pay $5.80 round trip to get in and out of Manhattan. Duffy isn't asking for freedom, he's asking for me to subsidize the costs of him driving into New York as a taxpayer. He wants a free lunch because he's a special beep-beep vroom-vroom boy.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Duffy: "She wants to take people off the road and she's taxing people to do it, raising money for the subway system in New York. But then, to put people in the subway -- the subway is dirty! There's violence. There's criminals. It's not safe ... By the way, I like freedom. Let me drive my car."

Transportation costs are a huge problem! Housing costs in regions like New York City are, definitely, very high. But transportation costs are much lower! That's what makes it possible for NYC region to have lower overall housing + transportation costs than the Dallas region. htaindex.cnt.org/map/
The gap between the self-image that MAGA has of themselves as tough macho he-men and their constant pants-pissing fear of every goddamn thing in the world is bigger than the Grand Canyon
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Sean Duffy: "The truth is, transit across America is dangerous. And these liberals -- liberal mayors -- they want everybody out of cars and into trains but they made the trains unsafe so nobody really wants to ride them ... even big men don't want to ride the subway at those times of night."
This should be called what it is: Negligent homicide by the Trump administration.
I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.
Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in Berkeley for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. Fuze claimed they were paid protesters and he went there to show his support for Musk and DOGE.
so many of america's problems are downstream of the fact that legacy media elites are infinitely more interested in writing the one same article about some kid at Cornell shouting that toothpaste is racist instead of covering that the SecDef is a member of a rape cult
rev. howard arson@theophite.bsky.social · 2y agothe basic issue is that hegseth is a violent, monstrous bigot who belongs to a church which nonmetaphorically considers rape sacramental www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.
