shout out to the guy who spent an afternoon on here screaming at me for thinking the tattoo was bad
Donald Trump’s agents are untrained, unqualified, unprofessional, and dangerous. It’s time for them to stop their assault on American cities.
really have no patience for criticism of Walz. A lot of the suggestions for what he supposedly should be doing lay bare the actual problem from the beginning: Bsky users expect Dems to be Sinn Fein or the Hamas political wing, not an actual opposition party
It may shock people to know that members of Congress could & very well may abolish ICE without ever speaking the phrase “abolish ICE.”
To Donald Trump: Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities. Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US. Stop attacking the 1st Amendment. Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 10mo agoTrump: San Francisco and Chicago, New York, Los Angeles… We'll straighten them out one-by-one. It will be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war too. It’s a war from within
The Liberal Project spans centuries and is larger than any one country! The fight for individual liberties and true social virtue is not lost we have to reclaim our Truth!!!!
The land of the free and the home of the brave.
Unlike Donald Trump, most Americans believe in the ideals on which our nation was founded. Now is the time to stand up for those noble ideals. Be loud — for America.
RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 12mo agoWASHINGTON (AP) — Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces he will cancel $500 million in vaccine development projects.
No wonder the Pedophile Protection Party shut Congress down early.
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · last yr.Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files.
Senate Ds did fight every step of way, made the bill toxic, forced Tillis to retire, made them vote in broad daylight as bill got worse, nixed some truly awful parts. They need more members. In 2026, vote out every R. That is what the lesson is here.
My firm belief in the wake of Mamdani's primary win is that most of what American leftists call "socialism" is just aesthetics, and everyone would be better off if people decided to stop cosplaying at Marxism that they don't actually believe in.
Cuomo spent the whole campaign trashing the Democratic Party while Mamdani never shied away from being a Democrat. For both centrists and leftists it's an important lesson: if you want to win a party primary you should outwardly like the party.
What Jamelle is replying to here is basically just patrician contempt for working class Americans masquerading as political radicalism. Many such cases.
jamelle@jamellebouie.net · last yr.i sincerely think a lot of you believe that the people who join the service are robotic psychopaths who will mindlessly listen to whoever is in charge, and there is nothing i can say to disabuse you of that frankly delusional belief
I have to admit, I was surprised when Jar-Jar executed Stellan Skarsgård in an ISIS style hostage video.
Every pro-Palestinian protester who thought Trump would be better for Palestinians is an idiot. BUT ALSO... Every pro-Israel protester who thought Trump would be better for Israel is an idiot.
QuoProQuid@quoproquid.bsky.social · last yr.a good way to understand trump is that he is malicious but lazy. his worldview is absolutely abhorrent but he is really, really not willing to exert long-term, dedicated effort on any specific policy issue and will abandon friends and allies if it's easier for him than staying the course.
The economy SHRANK in the first quarter. Down from 2.4% growth in q4 to -0.3 in q1. Trump has officially cratered the strongest economy in the world in just a few months.
RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation. He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths. In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.
Make me Emperor of America and we're nationalizing all tv. We're gonna do super PBS. PBS 28 will be churning out good STAR TREK. TV shows will come out yearly.
Materialist Gnostic@walmsley.bsky.social · last yr.becoming a single-issue crank for returning to 24-episode TV seasons
Every statement from Trump officials right now is just “Evacuate now? In our moment of triumph?”
Sorry, no. It’s not a strategy. It’s that Trump is stupid, senile, & he thinks it’s a great idea & nobody is telling him no. Quit Attributing Strategy When It’s Just Stupid Impulsivity (Plus, I think Putin may be encouraging this)
Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · last yr.Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
Jolani reading 'Why Nations Fail' was both his literal and metaphorical Road to Damascus.
We have to get to the point where "base" does not mean "people who hate the Democratic Party and spend all day complaining about it online and won't vote if some esoteric condition is not met."
You all MOCKED George Lucas and said this was boring or dumb but who’s laughing now???
Always love Everett True freaking out on people that are being rude jerks.
