This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.

The thing is, you can believe Palestine should have inviolable borders and self-determination also that Palestinians are as a group openly hostile to the LGBTQ community. You don't have to pretend that Palestinians are blameless for them to deserve human rights!

Hen Mazzig@henmazzig.bsky.social · yesterday

Western Free Palestine pinkwashes Hamas’s deplorable treatment of LGBTQ+ Palestinians, blaming it on Western colonialism. If this movement is so liberal, why doesn’t it just condemn homophobia consistently, instead of excusing it when it comes from the oppressive regimes they happen to like?

The optimal response to weaponisation of migration streams by tyrants is and has always been to embrace migration, showing that they cannot frighten us with a good time. I will continue bullying my fellow Europeans until we adopt this.

Probably my most crank oppinion is that in addition to tearing down most prestige media, we need to find a way to rebuild local reporting/journalism. Journalism needs to be seen as a working class job mostly reporting on town board meetings, not Manhattan elite gossip rags.

more than 8 percent of all American newspaper journalists work in Manhattan, up from 2 percent in 2005 www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Tangential but for all the "Big Pharma hates this because its natural" talk, I dont think people appreciate how much pharma research is just chopping up random bits of dirt and plants and seeing if they does anything to the body. Vancomycin came from a clump of dirt from the jungles of Borneo FFS.

exactly. every woo woo crank is selling some miracle cure snake oil, and it can't work by definition because if it did, then pharma companies, hospitals etc would be selling it instead bsky.app/profile/lego...

"The good news for Democrats: Recent, early high-quality polling suggests red states are competitive. The bad news for the party: That might not be sufficient," writes Aaron Blake | Analysis https://cnn.it/4w1DfO8

“We should return to an older and more accurate name for the Civil War: the Slaveholders’ Rebellion. If a country unquestioningly adopts language that obscures its bloodiest crimes to absolve their worst perpetrators, how can we expect successive generations to remember the new assaults on democracy

I've seen a couple of polls now showing a decline in support around this amount, which would put Trump in the same company as Herbert Hoover in 1932

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 3d ago

First, @theunpopulist.net published a poll showing that hard core Trump support has declined by about a third in the last two years. Now that Trump is governing, and governing poorly, fewer think he is on their side. (Would like to see more polling on this). www.theunpopulist.net/p/trumps-har...

The immigrant union troops who defended their adopted country from slaver traitors are in fact, proof of concept of American higher ideals having nothing to do with “blood” or “heritage” or whatever cowardly euphemism is in vogue among these pathetic losers

Iran war has consumed nearly 67% of US Patriot interceptor stockpile, report says

if there’s anything I would want to drill into the public consciousness it’s that there are almost always like a dozen ways to approach any given problem and some of them will be more effective than others and we have to stop acting like the questions around it are against fixing the issue

The reason to criticize the suite c salaries is because that money should be going to labor, not because it should be used to lower prices for consumers. The focus on prices is what happens when everyone thinks of themselves primarily as consumers and not as workers. Which is bad for socialism.

Congress appropriated billions of dollars for new transit projects. Why is the Trump administration spending none of it? Why are even transit projects in red states going unfounded? New reporting in @nytimes.com (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/u...

OK, this is a particular lane of slopulism that I’m passionate about, and it’s actually really dumb and bad and doesn’t understand how groceries work at all.

Mayor Mamdani: Since 2019, food prices have soared at grocery stores around the country by roughly 30%. Wages have not kept up. Today, I am proud to announce a collection of essential staples that will be predictably 30% cheaper at all five of our city-run grocery stores.

Suburban, college educated women are scared of Turkey not having F110 engines for the KAAN. Not arguing it, but that's what polling shows. Same with CAATSA and F35. Again, not gonna argue, that's just what reality is. If Dems stick to those things, independents and mod Rs are lost, again.

Susan Collins tells us everything is fine. But we know better. Working Mainers are getting screwed by a rigged system, a system she’s helped Trump and her billionaire backers create. In November, we will defeat her. It’s the honor of a lifetime to be your nominee for U.S. Senate.

Not that I disagree with this individual, but I've noticed a fair number of people from other countries mentioning the shining city and kind of wonder where its coming from as it was very much a Reagan thing that the median US voter would give you a blank stare if you mentioned it to them today
