good. the governments job is to work for the people. not just those with massive audiences or fat pockets.
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 19h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Hey @moderation.bsky.app this racist tripe has been undealt with for 10 hours at time of posting. What gives? Yall taking the day off or something?
Because it was a bluff. Its always a bluff. If they didnt leave for other reasons before getting taxed, they arent gonna leave over a small tax hike

Way better use of my taxes than any missile striking iran, slush fund for the president, or subsidy for walmart. USA Today needs to file this under "opinions that should have remained personal instead of public"
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
obviously not a real quote, and yet, it remains as what appears to be happening... and then theres fetterman who went full maga after taking brain damage... seems pretty irrefutable that MAGA and lack of intellect are at least correlative, if not causal.
Pierre Polyester@canadian-critic.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is it. Will they outnumber us or will we outnumber them? Teach your children well.
US representatives stormed out becuase they cannot argue against reality. under right wing rule, america has fallen from a questionable but world leader, to a dangerous and unhinged pariah state.
🍁🇨🇦Team Canada Forever🇨🇦🍁@teamcanadaforever.bsky.social · 6d agoFrance calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼
to all of the people making this argument still: it dosent matter if you would/did or wouldnt/didnt vote for them anyway, the belief that politicians do not need to court their voters, or that them failing to do so is the fault of anyone besides themselves is one FUNDAMENTALLY OPPOSED TO DEMOCRACY
The people who refuse the excellence in his leadership and the integrity of his positions are simply the pathetic Americans who brought us Trump. Whether they voted for him or not.
Mmm. love the smell of maga/corpo-dem tears in the evening... Eat shit, ya hacks. The 1980s called. They want thrir red scare back
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2w agoThe vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
Mitch McConnell would have replaced Mitch McConnell a month ago. Why can’t the Dems get their shit together?
ICE cannot be reformed. Nor can DHS. Extract FEMA from it back into a stand alone agency(like it ought to be) and burn the rest to the ground. Abolition is the only way to rid ourselves of this surveilence state and its gestapo
i love how centrists continue to do this thing where they say “if DSA becomes more front and center in the party, republicans will run on that!” as if the right doesn’t just say absolutely anything on and run on shit like peanut the squirrel or litterboxes in school bathrooms
stated as if the centrist dems like schumer and jeffries arent thinking precisely what the neocon schmuck who authored the article wrote. get real. ya know darn well that if put to an anonymous vote that would never be seen by the public, centrist dem leaders would agree with this article 70-30 easy
th1ngsfallapart.bsky.social@th1ngsfallapart.bsky.social · 2w agoAre you under the impression that James Kirchick is a "machine Dem" or this just a knee-jerk reaction to yell at Dems for any and everything? Or both?
In news surpising nobody, substack blogger says nazi shit and pretends its a little woopsie doodle from being angry. Ironically, angry that he got called out as a zionist liar making false claims against abdul el-sayed
Catfisher of Men@mormonpartyboat.bsky.social · 2w agotreating the holocaust like a justified stack ranking isn’t just shooting from the hip, and you’re still funding neo nazis directly by being on substack
do you know how hes been threatening to leave the dems for months? hes not gonna have a D next to his name after the primaries. he himself keeps saying as much.
P.D.W.@whitepatrick.com · 2w agoDo you understand how majorities work? How committee assignments work? How hearings are called and chaired? How legislation is made? I agree that Fetterman is terrible. But, like Manchin and Sinema, the "D" by his name makes him better than an "R" even if he acts like an "R."
twice? she only ran against him once. and its the job of a candidate to earn votes. their opponent being objectively terrible dosnt relieve them of that job any more than it owes them support. and i say that as someone who voted for her for precisely the fact that trump is worse.
Ron “Brush therein” Mexico@blobfishissexy.bsky.social · 2w ago“She didn’t earn my vote” when Trump is the other person on the ballot. Twice!
you mean like all the centrists who wont vote DSA on the gounds of not being "their" democrats?
Acquired Expertise 🌌✒️💫@acqexp.bsky.social · 2w agoThey are mutually exclusive among those Democrats who will not vote for all Democrats because certain Democrats aren’t “their” Democrats.
if they keep dems from winning, why are DSA the only democrats putting wins on the dems scoreboard right now?
Tara@tatabug.bsky.social · 2w agoThe thing that no one on the left seems to grasp about former Republicans/Never Trumpers is that all we really care about is beating Republicans. We would absolutely vote for DSA candidates if the choice is a Republican. The only reason we care about DSA is when it keeps a Democrat from winning.
sadly, i cannot speak for my country or its incompetent, rude, and childish leadership but i at least, am thankful for the grace and kindness of our canadian neighbors. and i wish there was more i could do to help you in kind with those terrible wildfires than merely offer apologies and condolences
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 2w agoAngus: MAGA politicians are threatening our sovereignty, saying they’ll cross the border if we don’t solve the climate crisis. We’ve always crossed the border to help each other. Today we’re mourning a Canadian firefighter who died helping fight a wildfire in Aspen, Colorado.
today, i grew my first garlic scarp. today i learned that garlic scarps are JUST as potent as garlic cloves in terms of flavor, and eating them raw might not be the most intelligent of ideas
never heard of this fuck before, but absolutely NOTHING makes what trump and the GOP are doing to universities sound justified to anyone who isnt a fascist themselves, and the proposition is indeed bigoted and racist. obvious only to bigots and racists. this is a mask off moment; but for himself.
Evan Bernick, a finite mode with a smol hooman and a lorg floof@evanbernick.bsky.social · 3w agoAt the risk of fanning the flames of this: IW appears to believe that harsh criticism of him personally justifies restricting the academic freedom of everyone. If not, I’d like to hear him say that newly minted academics should be free to say he’s trafficking in bigotry.
or go join lindsey graham and mcconnel in hell. im not particularly picky...
Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 3w agoJust become a Republican already. thehill.com/homenews/med...
once again, i cannot stress enough; if you block someone, dont bother replying because the person will not see your parting snark lol that said, i think this medical science denying vegan is best not heard from with me. they seem to be the evangelizing type that insist not being vegan is hitle-rite
the blue wave this year is washing a lot of blue paint off of red politicians...
The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.
Black Aziz Anansi@blackazizanansi.blacksky.app · 3w agoI want trials for every last one of these mother fuckers.
If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.
Well, they can call it "the trump runs" courtesy of those darned bone spurs, now can they?
