Texas bragging about eliminating the "Delaware-style" implied covenant of *good faith and fair dealing* in contracting is about all you need to know concerning where we are in the race to the bottom.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

This goes for everyone on both sides who are mad. All Jewish-Americans are worthy of protection and safety. We are neither responsible for nor beholden to Israel and it is anti-Semitic to say otherwise. A lot of pro-Israel organizations are proving that they disagree.
William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social · 3d agoBeing mad at the Mamdani announcement is just straightforwardly anti-Semitic. Like there’s not really any excuse left to hide behind there.
Suspending the gas tax just lets the gas companies jack up prices more while future taxpayers pick up the tab. I get that @massgovernor.bsky.social is trying to win an election and is worried about the money being spent against her, but is still disappointing to see her go in on that slopulism.
The FBI has never taken right-wing gender terrorism seriously. Even when handed information about the people orchestrating it.
Brooke Harrington@ebharrington.bsky.social · 3d agoOne of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.
If Hassan Piker said the same things Netanyahu said at the UN, people would use it to accuse him of spreading anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
And Amanda Janoo! secure.actblue.com/donate/janoo... She is a smart, progressive economist running even against an incumbent who was considered invulnerable. She’s also pulled even while only raising $110,00 in August, so if you can chip in $110 you could be 0.1% of the month’s fundraising!

Waschesalon Grammy Campaign Manager@reginageorgebush.bsky.social · 3d agoevery dollar raised by Annie Andrews or Adam Hamilton or Angie Nixon by EOD today goes into the big master tally of donations they're going to start presenting to donors and strategists as soon as tomorrow in the hopes of proving they are worth taking a risk
There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
I know people are reluctant to accept yet another change to what we call LLMs. But I still think “slop machine” is a better description, and will lead people to use these tools only where they are appropriate.
If the left is responsible for stopping 15 year olds from saying dumb shit while the right isn’t even responsible for what the literal President says, humanity is fucked. Sometimes people are wrong on the internet.
if that “intelligence” is “super”, I’d hate to see what “middling intelligence” looks like
America’s oligarchs have operated with such impunity they have no idea what this sounds like to ordinary people (“a great idea”)
Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · 6d agoAcross China, tax officials have gone into overdrive to boost receipts from the country’s richest people and biggest companies: bloom.bg/4ylDpSH
We elect the best fundraisers, in both business and politics. The result has been total disaster.
W.E.D.em Boyz@leftistwonk.bsky.social · 4d agoI think one of the undercurrents of our fractured political reality is that basically everyone has come to realize that the people who rule the world do not possess any particularly impressive level of intelligence or capability
It is so funny that the Republicans hauled someone in to remind everyone that they are a criminal conspiracy because no one in their offices was obsessively following Caitlin Clark’s career. Women’s sports rock.
It is actually better for society if rapists don’t end up as professors.
Santiago Mayer@santiagomayer.com · 4d agoHey hot take but I actually don’t give a fuck if expelling a rapist from school “ruins his future”
yeah the basic thing you have to do is just take a hammer to the Greek system. not police it. end it. because there are enough men like this that they can assemble their own culture without you. bsky.app/profile/walm...
Materialist Gnostic@walmsley.bsky.social · 4d agoI think it is probably true that frats contain a lot of guys on a spectrum from "literal rapist" to "basically neutral on rape". this, along with being a pretty boring person, is why I never tried to join a frat
🚨”Why would I want to abolish prisons, when I want Ashley Moody to be arrested & locked up in one.”
Roger Marshall has now spent more than $1,500 in less than 36 hours to promote his Facebook ad arguing that Meischa Zimmerman deserved to be arrested in front of her two-year-old daughter for missing a $50 payment on a judgment debt payment plan and also generally being poor
Waschesalon Grammy Campaign Manager@reginageorgebush.bsky.social · 5d agoanyway, Roger Marshall has put another couple hundred bucks behind this ad since last night and it's gotten another 10k impressions or so.
When oppression is taken personally and we accept the dehumanization, it can support genocidal superiority. The idea that we aren’t human the same way all other humans are human is always evil, whether it is justifying our oppression or theirs.
Mikhail Gorbaechev@mikhailgorbaechev.bsky.social · 5d agoAfrikaners were subject to borderline genocidal warfare by the British within living memory of the establishment of the apartheid regime.
I will never forgive him for what he did to our House majority, all so he could have more control over the party. And that was before he covered up a murder!
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 5d agoI know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb
Imagine if the media reported on every church’s interpersonal conflict the way the national press is reporting on a lesbian bar 🤔
This is the wildest part about Republicans coming after the masking bar. Christian religious rules got turned into law & are killing people. Their churches are full of sexual abuse & way worse drama than this. They seem mostly shocked that there could be a religion that doesn’t serve capitalism.
@stewardish.bsky.social · last wk.Conservatives want us to feel ashamed that anyone cared about covid zero folks (who have basically just invented a new religion). We don’t have to be. We can instead be proud that our community created a religious space without taking any of the tax breaks that make Christianity possible.
Republicans obviously aren’t offended by bullying lesbians. So why are conservatives obsessed? A. This is unnatural bullying. When we create power outside capitalism, poor people can bully people too & that disrupts the social order. B. Leftists will agree with us that these leftist are bad!
Some pilots ARE furries! But he also urged people to remain clothed.
