Democrats ready to prove they'd rather lose a Senate seat than prove unabashed progressive policy can win swing states.

🔥 Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “America can do glorious things, but to love 🇺🇸 isn’t just to dress up in some colors and pretend everything’s fine. To love 🇺🇸 is to will 🇺🇸 to do the hard work of being better… we can’t control the past 250 years, what we CAN do is build the next 250.”

There is something ugly happening in the trading card world. I remember being a kid and we played the game and we traded cards to make our decks or to collect them all. From the outside in, this modern tcg looks more like gambling for kids. Selling $5 packs for $20 in the hope you pull a $5k card.

xAI suing for the right to make nonconsensual sexual content is, well it's on brand for sure.

Idk, I feel like I'm becoming a race reductionist. Capitalism gets away with a lot because working class whites feel comfort in austerity by the knowledge that they are still on the side of power in their whiteness. Like MAGA will celebrate getting kicked off healthcare bc 'Trump is winning.'

Ok. I think I'm ready to start One Piece.

I struggle so much w/ the narcissism of Christianity. The idea if something GOOD happens to you, it’s b/c you individually deserve it, and if something BAD happens to you, you must have individually caused it. The systemic oppression people face has been removed from the faith’s mainstream teachings

I wish we used language more. Or maybe that I had a better vocabulary. Like there should be a worth more general than zionism. Zionism being a belief in the necessity for a homeland for people of Jewish ethnicity. There should be a worth specifically for a belief in ethnic homelands.

I am not a socialist. I am not truly an anti-capitalist. I have a critique of capitalism but I'm more anti-objectivist. I am certainly more aligned with socialists than even social democrats. My point is that I spend no time arguing with socialists on why I don't support true socialism for a reason

I've been in rooms where saying 'this doesn't work' meant you were negative, difficult, or not a team player. That's not safety. That's just a more polite cage.

Everyday you losers prove that it's never about the policy it's always about the politician and the majority of the time the politician is Black. You are still bitter that Crockett won't jump and do what you wanted her to do when you wanted her to do it.

By "pissed off Black voters," you mean "dared to run for the seat and not hand it to the narcissist that is Crockett?"

Jasmine Crockett endorsed James Talarico the same day she conceded the primary, the day after the election. You wouldn't know this if you live in a racist white ecosystem. You might even post trackaipac of Jasmine Crockett but not the trackaipac of Talarico.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett endorses opponent James Talarico — but won’t ‘make plans’ to campaign for fellow Dem

The freshman House Democrat underperformed in the Tuesday primary, suggesting that GOP “cheating” doomed her candidacy.

Jasmine Crockett had no issue endorsing Haley Stevens, who lives in another state, before she even endorsed the Democratic nominee in Texas, and that’s because Jasmine Crockett is a slave to AIPAC. Her “black power” rhetoric is just a ploy to continue her corruption under the guise of progressivism.

Were I, like those at faux news, inclined to believe that a Black woman makes it to federal office by being an idiot, I might repost fox news instead of, idk googling "Argentina vs Spain world cup racism" I might not look up the context of the hearing.

Many Black Americans were not cheering Spain’s complicated history. They were rooting against the racism, politics and silence associated with Argentina

And in an almost equally ridiculous use of time during this same hearing...

Caitlyn Clark, James Talarico, and the villainization of the Black Woman: Caitlyn Clark and James Talarico only needed to exist and be white in the proximity of Black women for their privilege and pedestal to take form. They won't hear me though.

I work at a data center so obvious bias but I think there is something lost in the "data centers are evil" simplification. We're not getting rid of the internet. The problem is that they are profit motivated for a small group of people. But they can obviously be done ethically.

Narrator@narratively.bsky.social · 2w ago

AI and data centers are really perfect for the argument of community ownership and profit sharing. Like there is an underlying algorithm and something to do with matrixes that no one believes Elon Musk or Sam Altman understands. But the rest of it is land, everyone's IP, water, communal property.

Having a son is terrifying cause you can do everything in your power to raise them right—good schools, good influences, extracurriculars, etc.—and it doesn’t matter cause we live in a patriarchal hellhole that will encourage them to hate women & YOU by extension

White leftists believe that intellectually knowing racism is bad means they can't be racist. They will intellectually admit America(the west) is racist and systemic racism is a historical and modern issue. But they refuse to examine how that is the context in which their worldview formed.

Narrator@narratively.bsky.social · 2w ago

White people have this belief that identifying that racism is bad innoculates them. White people on the left believe that identifying racism is bad AND still exists as a systemic issue innoculates them.

The way a lot of these Democrats are moving, we're going to see Trump get a fourth turn before an anti-Zionist Commander-in-Chief.

Is it integrity or pride I cling to? Is there a difference? Does it matter?

Goodbye cruel algorithm

It is seriously bad that the media has been snookered into thinking that concurrent resolutions have no force of law in perpetuity. We had a legal expert make the opposite case way back in 2020. prospect.org/2020/01/13/p...

Does Iran have a right to exist as an Islamic State? Does Cuba have a right to use its resources for the safety and prosperity of its people? Does Venezuela have a right to choose its leadership?

Service members are not sacrificing on behalf of the American people, they are being sacrificed for the egos of a few bad men.

Israel has killed more American service members and civilians than Iran. Israel has sank more American ships than Iran. Israel has had more spies uncovered than Iran. Israel has threatened to nuke America more often than Iran. Israel has cost the US tax payer more than Iran.

If Trump proves American hard power is more of an illusion and it's soft power is specious and unreliable, that might have the greatest positive impact on the world from an American president this century.
