Again, a congress would be nice. But, instead, we're doing murder for profit.

there is an entire industry of people who give their opinion or predict how things are going to go and their entire job is to be correct are they ever correct? rarely. are there repercussions for being wrong, the thing they are being paid not to be? haha no, no there are not

Not the most important concern, but that James Carville keeps getting trotted out and used in fundraising emails is maybe the best example of "stuck in the 90s" thinking

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

Once again, @schumer.senate.gov concedes before a battle. He and centrist Dems fight for nothing but their own status.

Patty Murray and Chuck Schumer decide to strike a “bipartisan” deal with … checks notes … Susan Collins to fund the Trump regime through December which appears to not to any include any safeguards against Trump’s meddling with midterm elections.

I did evaluations on a number of harm reduction programs in the 90s (when, shock, the feds were actyally interested). They broadly work.

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 4d ago

It was inevitable that reactionary centrists would turn against harm reduction and call for a return to mass incarceration

They tried to throw an Olympian, who trained and competed for his country, in prison to cover for the wannabe king who destroyed a national treasure with a corrupt deal with one of his cronies. This is why you don’t tell them “welcome home” or vote for their nominees or vote to fund their govt.

It is funny that this person thinks “immigrants defended the union while native born whites sought to destroy it in the name of slavery” is an argument against immigrants being Americans. This is precisely the point, nothing about being born here makes you better bsky.app/profile/aphc...

Another datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right

I hope the judge in the Davey Hearn case still asks for the Grand Jury transcripts. I’m pretty sure Pirro wanted to dismiss this case before she had to hand those over.

This is a crisis of federalism. Tim Walz is asserting as fact that Iran attacked water infrastructure in Minnesota and several other states. And Trump is saying it's Minnesota's own fault they were attacked as part of a war he started.

Hackers targeted municipal water systems in 7 states this week, FBI says

The federal warning comes after more than 30 water facilities in Minnesota were breached.

I think it's bad that we're led by conspiracy theorists who are attacking an 85-year-old public health expert who tried to save our lives because they think they might go viral

Republicans are currently denouncing everyone in the Democratic Party as a “communist” and if you think Democrats firing at their left flank will make those attacks *less likely* and *less effective* you should try reading up on the history of McCarthyism

Every journalist that writes an "Elon Musk Predicts" story should be forced to google that phrase first. These aren't reporters, they're dope mules.

Not only did the sole grand jury witness testify that the reflecting pool was already damaged before former Olympian David Hearn touched the water, now there are also questions about possible improper grand jury instructions by Trump admin prosecutors. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Sigh. In times like these, I think about the great movie critic Ann Hornaday. Only two questions are important: what was the director's vision and how well did they execute it. Sorry the movie didn't meet your criteria.

We must DEMAND the end of DHS. It's been a 25-years-long mistake - created out of fear - a fear that continues to drive it today.

NEW: Public records shared with Mother Jones show a DHS task force officer tracing protesters’ cars, identities, and whereabouts without alleging any wrongdoing.

You know how we can reduce our debt/deficit? Have a living wage?? Or, you can deny ALL government support/aid/tax breaks to any company that has an employee on assistance.

U.S. taxpayers spend about $2 billion every year on Medicaid for Amazon and Walmart employees, subsidizing the companies that refuse to adequately pay hundreds of thousands of workers, or give them healthcare. /1

This is not a great take. Personally not liking Nolan films - fine. Impressionism was despised by the public/critics at the time as well. But suggesting it is not art is cray-cray.

Cooper Lund@cooperlund.online · last wk.

Christopher Nolan is the world's most middlebrow director, that's why every dumb guy who thinks they're smart loved his Batman movies, and I'm fine with him turning The Odyssey into a summer blockbuster.
