Hamilton Nolan@hamiltonnolan.bsky.social · 6d agoThe left needs a candidate it can unite around in the 2028 primaries and AOC is the only real choice. Nobody else checks all of the boxes. Every other option is worse. If she doesn't run, it's a missed opportunity of historic proportions. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/aoc-must-r...
“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

This guy started a war that's wrecking the world because he was high from the recent kidnapping he did, and thought he could do the same thing and wanted to look smart and strong. Said war can't end because he now has to save face and that's more important than ending it. That's it
Funny (not funny but you know) that a substantial number of people in this country can't accurately assess what's going on because they can't bring themselves to believe that someone could be this stupid, let alone the president
This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.
