Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

“This case serves as a warning to anyone seeking to record a conversation without the other person's permission that doing so is illegal and has been a crime in the state of California for over 50 years.” THEN HOW THE FUCK IS FLOCK A THING HERE? apple.news/ANHPEbBHASNC...

Los Angeles County prosecutors on Friday charged an LAPD officer with felony eavesdropping for making secret recordings of his colleagues' racist, sexist and homophobic comments on the job.

Leftists support migrants because they believe a human being's worth should not be dependent on where they were born. Some people who consider themselves part of "the left" are actually just reactionary nationalists of the subaltern class, who would instantly be on the right if their side ever won.

From Susan Abulhawa: "no, this was completely engineered by the US, Israel, and Morocco.  This is how Sanchez, and Spain at large, are punished for challenging Israel, and "re-educated" to fall back in line with western imperial objectives."

the thing about having actual principles is that when a politician I respect does some stupid shit I can just be like, “that sucks, knock it off” instead of inventing an imaginary world where I’m forced to defend stupid shit for procedural 4d chess reasons

"Coastal elites" as a stand-in for evil academia/fake news media/rootless cosmopolitans/urban crime, doing the "you think you're better than me??" politics that only ever turn the ratchet rightward, backed by the grinning brainiac who gave us two-term president Joe Biden. Super duper stuff

"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens

The entire Democratic establishment and its corporate donors are rallying at the last second, along with $40+ million from AIPAC, to push Stevens over the edge. Tells you they're terrified of what Abdul represents. Hope Michiganders can see through it.

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here

In the Infinity War trailer, you had Thanos, who had been looming large for years, explain his motivations, his point of view. We had seen the world in which he was created. In Doomsday, you hear second hand how scared Thor is, but unless you saw Fan4, you have no idea who Dr. Doom is.
