THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT AND TRUE. THIS IS THE BIGGEST STORY FROM LAST NIGHT.
Truth Dog@truth-dog.bsky.social · 11h agoThe big story in the Michigan primaries should be that the Democrats turned out twice as many voters as Republicans did. Democrats can win if they fight Republicans as hard as they fight each other.
FFS, isn't that ARCHAIC thinking? That domestic violence is "just" a private family matter? Weren't people calling that shit out 50 years ago? Nicole Brown Simpson was murdered over 30 years ago, that seemed to enlighten a lot of people.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 20h agoGood thing domestic violence prosecutors don’t shrug their cases off as “a family matter” like Republican politicians. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Majorities of Republicans polled support this. Time for Dems to go big and bold.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2d agoThe effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Max Miller: “If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?" This is a classic abuser tactic.
How much time have ya got to let me answer?
Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · 4d agoWhy are so many Republicans just genuinely horrible, hateful people? 🤨
Democrats would be even further ahead if they gave up on “gop lite” with immigration and read some emma lazarus
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 4d agoRemarkable: Dems have now pulled even with the GOP *on immigration* in two new national polls. A third finds Trump 22 points underwater on the the issue, and *32 points* underwater among independents. Trump has absolutely destroyed the GOP advantage on immigration. newrepublic.com/article/2138...
I need to make this official, 2 weeks after attending their concert. I am a BIG fan now of The Strokes. Unlike my man Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys, I don't want to BE one of The Strokes, I just want to hear their music every single day.
Heard this elsewhere for the first time today...but it absolutely is what we should be screaming.

If the centrist Democrats saying the party is doomed if it nominates lefty candidates could point to their own political achievements, they’d have a much stronger case to make. The latest at my newsletter: paulwaldman.substack.com/p/why-the-de...
Why the Democratic Centrists Are Losing
If this is a battle for the party's soul, the side that has no constituency isn't going to win.

It's not a disagreement about politics. Itr's a morality/decency thing.

I read a study about 8 years ago that said 1 in 10 on the planet would be displaced in their lifetimes because of environmental events. I'm beginning to think that number was extremely conservative.
Reality doesn’t care about political talking points. This isn’t because Spain and France forgot to rake the forest. This is climate change, plain and simple, and it’s only going to get worse. 🚨 Nearly 200,000 people are running for their lives from out-of-control wildfires.
Robin Williams knew comedy. I'd listen to what Robin Williams said.
Karissah🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️Explosion@risslecrisis.bsky.social · 2w agoRobin Williams (2002) on German Comedy: I was once on a German talk show, and this woman said to me, 'Mr. Williams, why do you think there is not so much comedy in Germany?' And I said, 'Did you ever think you killed all the funny people?'
The Cannibal next door writes to his mum. Dear Mum; You won't believe who they've out in the cell next to me. Dragging down the entire tone of the place. I've been screaming about it non stop.
