I love dogs, cats, surfing, and eating pancakes. I make a lot of typos, it’s a whole thing, you’ll get used to it.

Ezra Klein is such piece of shit. His entire brand at this point is “Dems need to be just like the GOP if they hope to win”.

This is the sign of bad leadership. They fucked up and now they are trying to pretend they didn’t.

There has already been such a brain drain in the fed. Qualified professionals leaving in droves and are going to be replaced with people who have no idea what they are doing but willing to remain loyal to Trump.

At its core the tea party was violent. From the very beginning they thrived on lynching symbols. The media eats this shit up. They also like fire and throwing things. The media has no idea how to cover what happened on Saturday.

Since then my feeling has been they never want that to happen again. So the LAPD over corrects, often. It sucks because there should be better crowd control training. The LAPD is just rife with issues and has never been able to get it right.
comment in response to post
The LAPD was not prepared and leader less as things escalated quickly (racial tension was at an all time high after the liquor store shooting and acquittal). They ended up retreating and then everything went to shit. For hours there was no police presence what so ever.

In 92’ Gates was pissed because the city was planning on limiting his power. So even though he knew the verdict of the King trial ahead of time and saw the unrest starting. He chose to clock out early to attend a fund raiser.

Thanks Oprah

She is an illegitimate jurist and should be removed even if NYT is trying to paint her as some sort of sound thinker.

I have such a mix bag of emotions when it comes to the PSA boys. On one hand I appreciate what they do and their insights. On the other they feel behind the movement and often in the wrong camp.

I give him credit. No one respects are country anymore. He has made the US military look like a joke so every country is just going to do what they want. Everything he said about Biden is coming true.
comment in response to post
Yes, that sums it up.

Yesterday made me cry. Between the Pope’s word and the overwhelming feeling of support I felt at the protest in my city. I just feel a lot less alone. I truly felt the world was turning against me but now I know it hasn’t. GOD BLESS

On top of that it was hot, humid and raining. Marching in that sucks.
comment in response to post
The GOP have no shame. They won’t do the right thing. They will use this to ram through their own agenda if possible.
comment in response to post
That’s honestly the thing I kept thinking when I was watching that shit show on the news. They know Whiskey Pete is incompetent and Trump pees himself. Now the military looks like a joke. Somebody, somewhere is planning something big.

The local jazz fest comes out better.

I’ve seen larger crowds at a phish concert.
comment in response to post
They are good at marching but no flare. No high stepping. Pretty basic.
comment in response to post
I thought the same thing. It just objectively looks stupid. We should never do this again
comment in response to post
He had some liberal positions when he made less money. He is rich now so like most rich people he is happy to fuck over working people. He just cares about tax breaks and doing what ever the fuck he wants. That is literally why he moved to Texas.
comment in response to post
By the way they are literally doing nothing. Just stand around.
comment in response to post
The only reason it is contrary to conventional wisdom is the media has not reported on it. They don’t know how to deal with non violent protest anymore. If nothing is burning they just ignore it.
comment in response to post
So many people had their pet cause and thought they were playing 3-D Chess by voting Trump. It honestly was not that hard of a choice.
comment in response to post
Do we hear the same sentiment when MAGA wave confederate flags? No, I didn’t think so.

My politics at his age involved a vague desire for weed to be legal and Pearl Jam music.

It turns out David Hogg is full of shit.

This story needs a lot more attention.
comment in response to post
The closest polling in modern presidential election history and he won before bedtime I California? It was stolen and Elon did it to save his companies. Also, the assassination attempt was fake
comment in response to post
I prefer the first French Revolution. Because we can then behead these motherfuckers.
comment in response to post
Exactly. I already know inflation is higher than that because I get my wife’s grocery report every weekend. The official inflation status is “shit is expensive”.
comment in response to post
So all you dummies who voted for me because you thought we were gonna open a factory, fuck off. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Let’s rephrase this. Luis realizes AI hype is overblown and so he wants to back track on his previous statements about replacing people and just wants you to use it to check your emails and shit.
comment in response to post
Sounds like you are butthurt because people aren’t that into you. You should go on #podsaveamerica they love complaining about how Bluesky won’t let them lead the parade.

What is the point of an alternative to Twitter to survive if it just becomes Twitter?
comment in response to post
Who???
comment in response to post
Maybe tech billionaires who have ruined the fucking planet could just fund it so we can have an open discussion about what ass holes they are.
comment in response to post
But, of course a newspaper owned by a tech billionaire is going to go all in on Twitters legitimacy and like clockwork Cuban will play along.
comment in response to post
The writer is stupid enough to think misinformation bots count as organic content wit value. Engagement in Bluesky is down because when the bots attack we block. It’s really that simple.
