It’s a canary in the coal mine, but that specific canary’s wearing a Hawaiian shirt and has a blender full of piña colada and asks every coal miner he sees if they’re working hard or hardly working.

Oh no not James Carville, Bill Maher, Mark Penn, and John Fetterman

Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real

I see 4 major developments manifest in yesterday's elections: 1) El-Sayed's victory, along with multiple downballot victories shows a significant expansion of DSA/Sanders/AOC-aligned power in the heartland, where we've been told it just couldn't reach. 1/5

I wrote some words about Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal. It would be cool if you read them. theshortfuse.sbnation.com/arsenal-tran...

Pretty sure when you win the election it's a big election night. Pretty sure when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

the same people who scream about muslims bringing shariah law to america are the ones who want to strip women and lbtqia+ people of their equality and enforce prayer in schools

trump is now deciding what you may or may not study if you need a federal student loan that will ultimately cost you infinitely more than your degree is worth

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 13h ago

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/81eEaAG

It's OK for criminal ex-neo Nazis to run your bins is a hell of a line.

my takeaway from AES winning is that he needs to drop anything people liked about him, campaign exactly as if haley stevens won and hate himself and his voters as much as her supporters do - The Politics Whiz

Welcome to being the main character of BlueSky you racist asshole. El-Sayed was only “uncommitted” for the Democratic primary for Joe Biden, BEFORE he dropped out and Kamala Harris stepped in. He endorsed Harris for President and said he would vote for her.

Delta Nupe@itsnotuitsme1911.bsky.social · 18h ago

El-Sayed won. I’m urging Black Detroiters to STAY HOME and be “uncommitted’ like El-Sayed was for Kamala Harris during the general election. Dearborn voted for TRUMP instead of the Black Lady. I’m encouraging Black Detroit to vote for Jill Stein or Trump , like the Arabs in Dearborn did in 24!

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

Probably would've been nice to know this before the 2024 election, but sure

@GottaLaff@gottalaff.bsky.social · 2d ago

ABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"

Congrats again to the White House Correspondents Association!

Trump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"

it was Moby Dick that dismasted me

Still amazing that the official government policy is universities can't do DEI except for hiring professors whose politics better align with the regime in power.

Time to add another formerly respected institution to the garbage pile, this time @aau.edu, which just worked with the Trump admin to endorse resegregation in high education, embedding MAGA fraudsters as faculty, and banning student expression. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

this woman is singlehandedly making her league, its fans, and her fellow players the latest right wing obsession and deserves every one of these boos

there is no good faith anti-trans sports lobby and never has been it’s been a cynical wedge issue from day one for a group of people looking to replace gay marriage as a cultural weapon none of them have ever cared about women, women’s sports, or even sports

Gillibrand not even having a primary challenger in 2024 is crazy. She’s honestly cooked in 2030. just off the top of my head, Pat Ryan would be a strong candidate who could completely smoke her statewide

Jonathan Larsen@jonathanlarsen.bsky.social · 4d ago

Gillibrand is also a longtime participant in the weekly and annual prayer breakfasts of the Fellowship Foundation... ...even though faith, secular, LGBTQ+, and reproductive-rights groups have warned that The Fellowship uses its breakfasts, and Democratic participation, to build right-wing networks.
