Don’t send a thank you note following a hot dog barbecue. It would not be in keeping with the unpretentious nature of hot dogs. (he/him)

the spicy curry from super smash bros brawl@adultspiceman.bsky.social · 3h agoMy neighbor told me progressives keep eating centrist candidates in primaries and so I asked how much his centrist PACs are spending and he said oh just a couple dozen mil every primary so I said it sounds like he's just feeding billions to broadcast TV networks and then his daughter started crying.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4h agoJD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "
it's still going like this I am almost feeling sorry for Team Stevens lmao
the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)@merovingians.bsky.social · 14h agoI know this sucks for AES supporters but I do want you to imagine what it would be like to see Stevens close to 3-4 points at 40 percent and then make absolutely no progress over the next 20.
This must be so hard for concerned New Yorkers, they’re going to have to do another emotional support hospital bombing or put some Columbia students in jail again or something
Schumer was never going to let McMorrow run instead of Stevens because she was capable of moderating the “centrist” (ie Zionist) position on Israel
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 14h agothis is what i meant earlier. i don't like mcmorrow as much as el sayed but it's almost certainly true that she was way stronger than stevens and the establishment wing just didn't care.

It is such an incredible through the looking glass moment that “all Jews are responsible for the State of Israel’s actions” is now the position of organizations that claim to be philosemitic.

Why the Democratic Establishment Can’t Win Over Young Voters
A new bloc of young, college-educated voters has emerged in the U.S.’s political landscape, Jay Caspian Kang observes. They don’t have much faith in the Democratic establishment.

The problem with trying to explain how much porn, violent misogyny, has permeated GOP is you sound like a crazy person. There is a GOP House candidate who calls children “c*m trophies.” Royce White campaigned by calling women “c*nts” and got 40% of vote.

I’m an Israeli teapot, short and stout Here is my handle, here is my spout When Mamdani’s mayor, hear me shout I am going to take your house

It’s actually astonishing to me that he’s avoiding straight up saying they’re false.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3d agoRep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."
Not going to indulge in child related discourse just want to say this is a fucking incredible photo and i will be tactically deploying it when i want to insult someone's taste for the foreseeable future

Prof Christina Pagel@chrischirp.bsky.social · 5d ago🧵On @thenewsagents.co.uk yesterday, school closures and the lab leak theory were offered as two examples of legitimate questions that were hard to ask. Both have in fact been asked constantly since 2020. But here's a thread on why I think they were wrong and dangerous on school closures 1/12
ME RIP Pickles, the best dog of all time. My heart is breaking. He was a good boy. BLUESKY USER No, your heart isn’t breaking because of grief. That’s the processed foods. But go on acting like everything’s normal.
Jason Carey@jasonbcarey.bsky.social · 4d agoIt's not abnormal. It's a paradigm change.
This is a trap! What you have to do is both of these at once. Institutional reform needs serious popular support to work. It’s not coincidence that LBJ passed the Civil Rights Act *and* the Great Society.
Mark Copelovitch@mcopelov.bsky.social · last yr.👇🎯💯 Again, the <platform> needs to be <institutional reform> & all the committees & commissions that want to Do A Popularism & focus on Kitchen Table Issues are engaged in a category mistake about What Democrats Must Do the next time they ever have power. bsky.app/profile/mcop...
Having seen these people up close BTW the basic dynamic driving this is that for 10 years they’ve responded to *any* disagreement or discomfort with Trump by calling you gay and not based and a leftist.
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 4d agoNot only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
They didn’t understand that Richard Scarry was just a name and they thought it was actually scary.
A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · 4d agoThe Republican Party has gone full mask-off Nazi; meanwhile the media narrative being pushed 24/7 is “ahhh! Democrats are being taken over by socialist radicals!!” and their terrifying examples are Miss Rachel, a doctor who wants you to have healthcare, and the friendliest mayor in American history.
Every fucking day there’s an ad that says like “Israel’s interests are not more important than America’s” and 15K ghouls slink out of a chamber from hell to declare that the only reason you would dislike American taxpayers funding a genocide is that you hate Jewish people
wow it turns out the immigrant army crushed the army of slaveholding perverts? that’s crazy you’re telling me this for the first time
Alexander Clarkson@aphclarkson.bsky.social · 4d agoAnother datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right
Funny, but there’s actually some truth to this, because [premise of joke you just made]
I knew a lot of young DC Republicans in 2021 and every one of them was basically a Nazi. One asked my friend in an accusatory way if he was Jewish once.
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 4d agothat horse is out of the barn and three international flights away at this point
It’s also increasingly completely circular logic. “The only reason you’re so mad about Zionists spending huge amounts of money in American elections is that you hate Jews, and the proof you hate Jews is that you’re mad about Zionists spending huge amounts of money in American elections.”
the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)@merovingians.bsky.social · 4d agothis persistence of trying to make claims of AIPAC interference by Muslim Democrats into bona fide antisemitism is fucking gross and driven by blantantly motivated reasoning
I’m loving all the people replying to this with their theories. Again though, this needs to be going through law reviews. Also, as for the idea that we can just force the courts to comply, I don't think it works that way. Yes, with an infinite timeline, we could, but we won't have that. 2 years.
karl rove knausgård@uhactually.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is why the number one thing liberal con law people should be working on is arguments that Trump’s pardons are not valid. Obviously none of this can happen without court packing but once the new liberal court is in place, there need to be arguments ready to hand them.
I can’t explain this but nobody sane has ever used the phrase “open-air drug market”
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 4d agoIt was inevitable that reactionary centrists would turn against harm reduction and call for a return to mass incarceration
