Going to found a religion based on the concept that your trip to heaven or hell is based specifically on how much noise you and your cell phone make in public

the scariest part of this is the idea of a burrito made at home by a white republican, like some kind of racist sloppy joe on a wet albertson’s tortilla

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

Congratulations to Max Miller for answering the question of who's going to inherit the Republican party after he dies

Guys I just saw James Carville hitchhiking, he had a bindle over his shoulder and a sign that said 1992

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

public libraries ftw

K and I throw backyard cookouts a lot and they're awesome because we've spent our whole adult lives curating a perfect guest list, even as individuals come and go, there's always a ton of great folks we love. it never occurs to us to "get out of our bubble" and open the yard up to shit heads

This is the best thing about Bluesky. I have 57K followers and say provocative stuff occasionally and have never once been dogpiled without my consent. The trick is to detach quotes, control replies and block liberally. Without hesitation. With reckless abandon. With carefree joy.

So… they’re working

A generation of Republican freaks who never got invited to rape children on Epstein Island and are going to try another way

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

So when do we get to find out that Mitch is dead and when do we get to find out what the hell was going on with everyone who talked to him on the phone last month

Open letter to my upstairs neighbor: you can just set the alarm for 7 instead of setting it for 6 and hitting snooze five times

Blocking dumb transphobes is fun because, it's not like they're going to suddenly have valuable and interesting opinions on other things

honestly it would be a newsworthy story to find a prominent Republican who ISN'T an abuser, if that ever happens

We are coming ever closer to the inevitable announcement that we will save social security by simply never paying a cent out to anyone born in the 1970s

Americans’ Social Security benefits will have to be cut by roughly a quarter in six years due to depleted funds, according to a June report from the Social Security Board of Trustees. That’s months sooner than the group had estimated in 2025. https://to.pbs.org/4f39DL0

concern is mounting that the four-foot pile of dogshit in the backyard may become "smelly" and "unpleasant"

Raw Story@rawstory.com · 4d ago

Concern is mounting among high-ranking Republicans that the next generation of conservatives consists primarily of "rabid" "idiot" Nazis, according to a new report.

this tells me we should have imported even more immigrants and finished the job

I'm very concerned about facism and boarder security, but not concerned enough to learn how to spell them

Trump 2 has shown that the bulk of federal, state, and local "law enforcement" don't perform any useful functions at all. If they did, it would not be so easy to re-task them to brainless gestapo work like rounding up whole neighborhoods and waiting outside public buildings.

I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.

Trump absolutely cratering by many metrics in new CNN poll: 66% say he puts himself over country 61% disapprove of ballroom, arch, etc 57% say lacks sharpness to serve (!) 73% say he's out of touch w/regular people (!!) His personalist project is over. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2137...

Boy it's starting to look out there like the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity

there literally are no good-faith concerns about trans girls participating in high school sports. it is children playing games with their friends, its about confidence and relationship-building. let kids play with their friends.

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 6d ago

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

Working class voters have moved away from the Democratic Party. Winning them back is key to the party's future, a new reports shows. But first, the messaging has to change. n.pr/4bgINgh

Your average Republican is 6'7", has starred in three Oscar nominated films, speaks four languages fluently, and has hit 147 major league home runs

Your average Republican is pro-IVF, skeptical of six week heartbeat bills, against deporting productive, law-abiding immigrants, and for gay marriage.
