we've all been thinking this lately

All I wanted was a cute rom-com, not fascism.

A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.

Immediately after this picture was taken they all recited a pledge of allegiance to a photo of Hitler just out-of-shot and then an unpaid servant who just happens to live on the property brought out a roasted human infant with an apple in its mouth for dinner

good morning

credit where its due, very classy statement obviously meant to bring her supporters over

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

with or without AIPAC (and related groups) spending over 30 million on her behalf? i don't ask this facetiously - the electoral landscape has changed so much in the last several years - vote suppression, massive 3rd party spending, etc. - you can no longer say "x would have won" without accounting

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · yesterday

McMorrow would have won

it’s more expensive to be poor than rich, thats all the theory is and its not complicated and its obviously true for example buy toilet paper in singles instead of bulk for a year and see how much money you waste

Since people are still relentlessly abusing me over this, here’s why the so-called “boots theory” doesn’t make any sense. First, what is it? Some people have suggested I haven’t done the background reading, but it’s not a deep idea. It’s from a passage that’s four sentences long.

Amazed lifestyle people haven’t incorporated climate change into their fall coverage. “The perfect fall bikini” “seven skimpy Halloween costumes for when it’s 90 in the shade” “cool salads for another hot Thanksgiving”

haley stevens is an utter joke and i expected AES to destroy her - i don't like or even trust politico, but regardless whether it's cope or not, this angle isn't completely wrong.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

the thing you have to understand about elections is that a lot of american voters are basically marks. www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?t...

cori bush got walloped. i'm not getting on the "careful what you say about AIPAC" bandwagon, but you can't blame them alone for (the worthless) wesley bell getting 40% more of the votes.

@nberlat.bsky.social i have no idea why this d-bag is blocking me.

Susan comes out against Todd Blanche now that he's got the votes. So tiresome. (We called it: tinyurl.com/3bepafkz) #MEpolitics

Certainly the national Democratic Party didn't have much enthusiasm for Mamdani, but to be fair the party itself didn't put their finger on the scale in the primary and did support him in the general (even if there were members who shamefully continued to support Cuomo). Either way, take the W

lotta folks ragging on them for this but i agree with those saying "take the win" - if mamdani is moving the needle in the right (actually left) direction, that's a good thing.

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

democratic party electeds: i am begging you to please stop talking about garbage-brained republican freaks as if they're people you can work with - they believe your voters don't deserve representation and that your party has no right to govern - they are not your fucking friends, you idiots.

Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · yesterday

🚨BREAKING: North Carolina Republicans have sent two sweeping elections bills to Democratic Gov. Josh Stein, including one that cuts early voting and expands the ability to challenge lawful ballots. Stein has signaled he will veto it.

I think on the whole it’s totally fine in principle to urge people to be cautious in how they talk about AIPAC et al but some people really do need to get it thru to themselves that it is actually exceptional for one organization to spend >30M on a single primary like it’s nothing.

David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.

of course they could but trump's supporters would quickly vote them out - whether they agree with him or not (and i think they mostly agree), republicans have been a rubber stamp for trump because he can end their careers - cornyn's never going to admit that, so he's going with "we're helpless!"

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

its very telling that the mainstream media narrative is that dsa has wacky and unreasonable positions when the republican party position is that abortion should be banned, latino families should be put in concentration camps, black people should be shot by cops and transgender people shouldnt exist

I love (“love”) how Microsoft has decided the reason no one uses copilot is becuase we just don’t know how great it is, so now when I open Word or Excel I get a bunch of example pop-ups in the corner showing me exiting basic functions I could always do, but now in the form of a question.

So hey, this seems a good as time as any to mention that me, @televisionaryzw.bsky.social the guy behind this has been unemployed for 9 months now and since this place doesn’t directly pay like the old one did… well, here’s my Kofi if you felt like helping out. ko-fi.com/sitcompeople
