Roberts will cause the death of the 9 person SCOTUS that has stood for longer than anyone has been alive, because he is fully in thrall to a wannabe dictator Truly, a historic villain

Chief Justice Roberts has issued an “administrative” stay In the ballroom case—which effectively allows Trump to keep doing what he’s doing while the full Court decides whether to let him keep working indefinitely while the case moves forward (which it probably will, given this intervention).

NOONAN, on Trump’s corruption: “.. An odd thing about all this is the absence of furor. There is no broad public outcry. .. Jimmy Carter’s shaking down the system to see what coins fall out would have been news, Donald Trump’s doing the same is Tuesday.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

But it isn't! We want the DNC to be spending its money, they will raise more, and theyre spending more on infrastructure than media buys - which is also good! Cash on Hand for an organization like the DNC is not a great metric at this stage of an election cycle!

The base is the FOUNDATION OF THE PARTY…that’s why it’s called THE BASE. It was built by Black Folks & Jews that pushed for equal rights for everyone. The folks too lazy to build their own party are trying to remake the party into something pushed by 85% white folks & folks chasing proximity to

The Angry New Yorker@nycop2026.bsky.social · 19h ago

If the “base” of the party supports genocide and love ethnostates, then the base should leave and join a party that suits their fascist needs better. The thing that “broke” in 2024 was the total ziostablishment control of the Democratic Party, and now all the right people are leaving.

I find it hard to believe that people who use slurs created by David Duke (a KKK grand wizard) are interested in human rights.

My grandparents have had one of these Frank Stella "Pegasus" (from his Circuits Series) up and framed on their wall since before I was born I used to sit and stare at it as a child, for extended periods of time Upon reflection, my later fondness for psychedelics sort of makes sense!

Yeah I don’t understand how people can believe that this is the kind of delusional belief that entitles one to a free murder. Whether it’s because of psychosis or not, if you believe your kids are better off dead than outside your control & act on it you belong behind bars

both Jon Ossoff and Chris Van Hollen have been opposed by AIPAC and backed by the much less awful J Street, but Ossoff is Jewish while Van Hollen isn’t so guess who gets the Evil Red Monochrome background

Sam@samd.bsky.social · 11h ago

this post really pisses me off for a few reasons: 1. People like Zenkus who treat the anti-fascist coalition as a murder-suicide pact are generally narcissistic idiots 2. Ossoff has voted against arms transfers to Israel and his donations are from J Street, which is very different from AIPAC

let him build the ballroom and then the next president can sell tickets to a public demolition or live stream a drone strike on the facility

Monica Crowley suggests Trump might defy the Supreme Court if they don't allow him to build his ballroom: "I don't want to get in front of the president, but I do know that other options are being considered, because the president has committed to the completion of this project"

Proud to appoint Bashir Qaasim, Nedra Sims Fears, Nirali Shah, Rosa Ortiz, and Vanessa Uribe to the newly created NITA Board. They'll be critical in modernizing our transit systems so we can strengthen operations, make upgrades, and better connect communities in Illinois.

This would not be happening if people remained silent.
