Indeed, for 2026 Democrats, the "fringe opinion" is unwavering support for Israel. Centrists who pretend to be gobsmacked that someone criticizing Israel's genocide in Gaza might do well in a Democratic primary are announcing that they don't know anything about the current state of politics.

#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 9h ago

I mean this sincerely: I think pro Israel people really need to begin internalizing that this is not a fringe opinion anymore and in fact is very statistically likely to be the average view of any brown Democratic candidate for office or any candidate under the age of 50

They know voters hate this shit. So they wait until Blanche has the votes for Collins to come out against him. So she can claim to be a moderate. So she gets reelected. So she can spend the next two years voting for more Todd Blanches.

Susan comes out against Todd Blanche now that he's got the votes. So tiresome. (We called it: tinyurl.com/3bepafkz) #MEpolitics

That was the stated purpose behind the establishment of the branch of government in which you serve but go off king

Every time these types of guys freak out over something like this, just know it's something they are going to do to you first chance they get. We already have tons of people in camps and I doubt they care one bit.

This is a scandal — an historic swindle perpetrated by the biggest companies on the planet — but because they’ve successfully hoodwinked investors, the media, and many analysts, they’re getting away with it. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-demand-bubble/

Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.

Politico@politico.com · 2d ago

Michigan will provide another crucial test of whether progressives can not only keep up their winning streak in safe-blue seats but also break through in battlegrounds crucial for control of Congress. The stakes for the Democratic Party are huge.

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

Wait until you hear about public schools and people without kids.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Think about it this way: what if your tax dollars were used to buy sophisticated surveillance equipment and guns, and then the cops never killed your dog? Wouldn’t you feel ripped off?

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d ago

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

I refuse to pretend his ideas are "dangerous " anymore. Aaron Rodgers is just another idiot brother-in-law parroting Facebook slop. He's a boring has-been who knows he'll be indistinguishable from an X bot 5 minutes after he retires. Which is why he's scared to retire.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

This is because domestic violence is a plank in the far-right platform—not a coincidence, not a correlation, but the result of a concerted effort to live and govern such that it is easier for men to beat their wives and children, a goal the far right believes in and strives for

What's the difference between a landlord who sneaks into your apartment to rifle through your underwear drawer and an AG who sues for your abortion records? The state health director keeping a spreadsheet of women’s periods isn’t any less creepy than the abusive ex who still tracks your location.

Similarly, if a random citizen at your daughter's soccer game wanted to check the genitals of the kids playing, you would call the fucking cops, and rightly so. Stop debating these people and call them out for what they are -- creepy perverts, freaky busybodies and utter hypocrites.

the president refusing to defend a state against the nation he started a war with is, like, kind of the biggest thing, you know? kinda sails right past "impeachable" and into darker territory.

Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 5d ago

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.

This is VERY bad. Congressional investigation immediately. They’re trying to use Palantir to figure out who you voted for. 0% chance this ends well. Stop it ASAP.

Todd Blanche, 2 weeks ago: “There is no weaponization fund. The weaponization fund is dead.” Donald Trump today: Gimme my weaponization fund. ⤵️

John Fetterman always has this facial expression like he’s dissatisfied with the flavor of a live bird he just ate

Pledging to zip tie every single decision maker at DOGE and haul them in front of a Dem-controlled Congressional tribunal is the moderate position.

🗽LOLGOP🗽@thefarce.org · 6d ago

"A federal funding freeze by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) delayed $10 million in Minnesota wildfire prevention... right before over 60,000 acres burned in the Superior National Forest."

The fact that Blanche refused to terminate the slush fund in writing for Trump’s criminal cronies as well as his IRS immunity deal proves that his testimony at his confirmation hearing that these things were “dead” was always a lie. They were dead only until he got confirmed.

66% of Americans disapprove of Trump—this guy is absolutely hated by Americans. Worth repeating!
