Republican primary voters are so racist that a guy named Tom Smith who DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE is going to defeat Trump’s endorsed candidate because his name is Amir Hassan.
Seems like the entire night was both moderates and progressives going it's over <-> we're back like a metronome huh
all my interactions with ai are miserable and nonconsensual. it is the reason my programs are running slowly, why my weather report is inaccurate, why I always get connected to the wrong department of any automated call service. I would pay a lot of money to be rid of it.

Considering how badly Republican ballot measures targeting abortion rights, public education, independence of judiciary- are getting curb stomped in - checks notes - deep red states … there are gonna be relentless think pieces in DC media bubble about toxicity of MAGA/Trump Republican brand. Right?

Julia Azari@juliaazari.bsky.social · 15h agoI had a minor rage stroke at the end of today’s episode of The Daily when they concluded that electability might just mean something different in 2026. Like, if it means something different and context dependent, then it’s not a terribly useful concept
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
Stop the false equivalence. No other President sued his own government to secure immunity for himself and his family, created a fund to reward cop beaters, and demanded prosecution of his political enemies. Trump’s weaponization of DOJ is unprecedented and you just endorsed it.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"
Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.
Politico@politico.com · 2d agoMichigan will provide another crucial test of whether progressives can not only keep up their winning streak in safe-blue seats but also break through in battlegrounds crucial for control of Congress. The stakes for the Democratic Party are huge.
Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

Thief: Gimme your wallet so I can take all your money. John Cornyn: No, that would be wrong. Thief: What if I tell you I’ll give you back any cash I find in the wallet in a few weeks? Cornyn: Sounds good to me. <hands over wallet> Media: Tough, Independent Sen. Cornyn Stands Up to Thieving Ring
"Republicans want to look in your children's underwear" seems like the easiest lay-up of an ad.
Dear Higher Ed Admins, The White House demands you have political commissars oversee admissions and courses. Give them a hard no. If you think appeasing fascists might work, ask your history or poli sci depts. Or look at Colombia. It doesn't. Love, Academic integrity, truth, democracy and freedom

Elizabeth Spiers@espiers.bsky.social · 2d agoI keep arguing that Dem leadership (Schumer, Jeffries, etc.) are stuck in the 90s, as are many of the high profile Dem consultants and advisors. They think most voters are de facto moderate. This is why their thinking is outdated:
Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol
The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.
The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Will the Sunday shows do anything about the people who lied to their faces about this? Doug Burgum got indignant when Dana Bash doubted the 350-foot-long knifing story. Will CNN hold him accountable or just invite him back like nothing happened?

Yeah so NYT asked me ~2 yrs ago to write an op-ed about how the Colorado is running dry, & what we should do to keep this exact thing from happening. I said "There's only one real answer. Bill farmers by how much water they use. Duh." NYT editorial staff freaked tf out & cancelled the piece.

Sexual violence is not incidental to the colonial project. It is its grammar. The many official reports on sexually tortured Palestinians are not aberrations. They document a system – recorded and cross-corroborated by the very organizations Israel’s defenders routinely cite when it suits them.
