*clears throat* *taps mic* criticizing the adult women who knowingly attach themselves to Trump - whether for his approval, proximity to fascist power, party status, or simply the joy of being evil - is not misogyny, no matter how much vicarious embarrassment it gives you to watch them do it

A thing to appreciate about Mamdani so far is that he seems to realize how much is riding on his narrative of left wing failure or success and is prioritizing a bunch of highly visible actions and messaging that don’t immediately create critical backlash

Jewish DFLers: Would you like to do something about this? We have a great statement setting the record straight & need your sign-on: forms.gle/2uCxpALi4FvR...

Statement by DFL Jews in Support of Peggy Flanagan

Jews in Minnesota believe our state, nation, and world will not be served by another Trump yes vote in the Senate. At a time when the Trump administration invaded houses of worship with spies and empo...

Ben Weisbuch, the head of the DFL’s new Jewish organizing caucus, is giving negative quotes about Peggy Flanagan even as major Craig financier Vance Opperman now supports the winner. Ben’s wife worked for Craig (not mentioned in the piece): www.startribune.com/angie-craig-...

From the Strib: Ben Weisbuch, head of the DFL's Jewish Community Outreach Organization, said Flanagan will need toiconfront the antisemitic DSA element within our DFL' and reconsider some of her positions on the war in Gaza - including her characterization of it as a "genocide" - if she hopes to win back skeptical Jewish voters.

One of the smartest ideas I've seen in the last few years is instead of trying to find "the Joe Rogan of the left," buy up the news sites of defunct papers and put some money into providing local news coverage in rural areas.

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 2d ago

At an invitation-only gathering in Italy, white supremacists mapped out strategies to target rural America while local press coverage vanishes www.confrontthehate.com/p/white-nati...

As economic pressures gut local newsrooms across the country, white nationalist figures see an untapped opening: stepping into media deserts where there are few journalists left to sound the alarm. “Local media has been dying all over America, which means that there’s essentially no real way to hold local governments accountable—and they can do whatever they want,” Kevin DeAnna told an invitation-only gathering of approximately 50 white nationalists in Rome. Breaking into a broad smile, he excitedly added: “You should be fantasizing about this. This is a good thing.”

Things that count as reading: * Short books * Smut * Graphic novels * Audiobooks * Fanfic * Too many other things to list Things that don't count as reading: * Having ChatGPT fart out a "summary" for you.

Megan Fox@glassbottommeg.bsky.social · 3d ago

I read a shitload of books, almost all of it trash. Of course it counts. I'm about to read the entire run of Animorphs because i missed it as a kid and my timeline absolutely Will Not Stop talking about it so hey sure why not let's get ready for that Coogler series sure and THAT ALSO COUNTS.

Years ago (in the pre-2FA era) my email got hacked and all my friends got that "I'm typing this with tears in my eyes" scam email where your wallet got stolen while you were on vacation in London. Most of my friends figured out it wasn't me from the grammatical errors 😂

Jack Fennell@jfennellauthor.bsky.social · 2w ago

Just in case anyone gets one of these on any of their socials and hasn't come across this kind of thing before: This was from a contact of mine who had his twitter account stolen, probably by clicking on the link he sent. If a DM looks weird or seems out of character, assume it's a scam.

A screenshot of a twitter DM from a friend whose account was compromised. "I need a quick favor 🙏🏻. I’m currently in the running to co-host a major podcast event with Spotify and Google, and your support would mean a lot. Please take a moment to vote for me using the link below. I truly appreciate it 💯🫶🏻 [Bullshit link]"

Here’s the thing about Y2K, the ozone layer, etc. The most leftist—in the sense of *valuing labor*—thing you can do is reject the brainwashing that tells you that heroism is running into a burning building and not the slow, patient, boring, unglamorous work of *preventing* disaster.

Jessica Price@delafina777.bsky.social · 3d ago

I think a lot of people would have died without the work of people like you. The power grid could have gone down, air traffic control, supply chains, medical equipment, water infrastructure… You prevented a disaster. That is heroism. Heroism doesn’t always have to be running into a burning building

dr. rich traditions, JD@helldude.bsky.social · 3d ago

the fact that john ossoff can kick off a two-day media cycle by saying that the president is uninterested in doing his job and is sleeping through meetings and traveling around with a young blonde, suggests that not enough of these guys are speaking plainly and effectively about these assholes
