Oh, boy. I had a post on Facebook about trans sports that lost containment. Deleted it when someone decided to call me a sexual predator. What is wrong with people?
Yeah, I don't think I need to allow Nazis and bigots into my bubble. That's why I *have* a bubble. Block early, block often.
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky'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."
This isn't just about trans kids, this is about controlling women's bodies. Men are never asked to prove they are men.
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2d agoAn 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
The Democrat who runs on investigations and rescinding clearly corrupt orders like this gets my vote.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
UPDATE: uh holy shit we’ve raised over $12k since I posted this. that’s enough to give each of the 9 candidates here over $1K each, a significant fundraising boost that they will feel on the ground in these must-win swing districts
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 3d agoI love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...
Also the Republicans were screaming that Fauci helped authorize vaccines for children, which is something every goddamn parent I know was praying for every day for more than a year and have been thankful for ever since. These people are all self-centered idiotic sociopaths, nothing more.

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.
So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.
The way we're supposed to listen to this guy 35 years after his one achievement is incredible. Pat Caddell (Carter's Carville) was by 1992 a pariah in the Democratic Party, and he ended up on Brietbart, Fox News, and the Trump campaign. They all do this. You can just stop listening to them.
Widow's Bay DSA@gonebabygone.bsky.social · 3d agoJames Carville isn’t even good at what he got famous for anymore (folksy bullshit that appeals to consultants who think southern people are some kind of pixie), now he just goes on TV to go “you’d probably be happy if I killed myself”
At the risk of getting *more* texts, I donated. I think you should too.

The Senate is important, but state legislatures are just as big and, as the post notes, these races are a lot more effective use of your dollar.

TFW you want to put the complete Perry Mason series on DVD, knowing that you don't really have time to watch 9 seasons... but, you still want it.
Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3d agoRep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
Bernie Moreno reminds you that Dr. Fauci deserves prison, but the guy who abused & terrorized his daughter needs psychological help.
Daniel Schulman@danielschulman.bsky.social · 3d agoSen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) just tweeted that his ex-son-in-law Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) "needs serious psychological help." Read @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social blockbuster investigation that broke the Miller story wide open www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This guy would win in a landslide if he ran for office. I promise you there are SO MANY voters waiting for the "Were going through every file and we will find all of you" candidate to take on the New Gestapo. Establishment Dems will never hold anyone accountable. They had their chance and blew it

Centrists always present these takes as savvy "harsh truths" for the left, but they're the most pathetic kind of ignorant, cowardly self-soothing. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
What an asshole.
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · last wk.🚨BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) wants the U.S. Senate to cut its upcoming recess, where its current session would end after the first week of August and reconvene on September 14, to stay on the floor in hopes of passing the anti-voting SAVE America Act. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
The false narrative that republicans are the same as democrats is one of the more effective forms of republican propaganda that right-wing media uses because its primary mission is to make you like republicans
I don't think we should take advice from the very same people who lead us to this moment. Oh, sure they were "always Anti-Trump," but they happily paved the way for this to happen.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2w agoThe vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
