Yes, she says, we need more tradespeople - but not her. She means the plebs, you see. She went to St. Anselm's College (softball scholarship) and majored in communications and minored in poli sci.

god i hate this country's media

i'd say this describes most people who get into public office these days

in today's world, an act of kindness is an act of rebellion

we used to be a proper society

Earlier this week, the Trump administration announced charges against @replamonica.bsky.social, whom they accused of assaulting ICE agents. This may have been a tactical mistake. Read why in the latest Huddled Masses from @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social

Trump and RFK Jr. say today's kids are "the sickest generation in American history." Is that just a feeling? Here are some facts: About 46% of children born in the U.S. in 1800 did not live to see their 5th birthday. In 1900, the figure was 24%. Now it's under 1%.

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

Honestly this could be more threatening to the stability of the world than nuclear weapons

Far right books, podcasts, films, and streams absolutely dominates the online influence space. I appreciate any effort to push back at this - but influence doesn't come from donors, it comes from compelling stories and a consistent message. And it needs to be fun and entertaining as well.

*sigh* ffs

Happy Wednesday

you could easily make the argument that it's right wingers, like Ben, are the ones who are obsessed with cultural issues

@nicholsuprising.bsky.social: No doubt the chaos, cruelty, and incompetence of the Trump administration has helped—but so has the grassroots organizing.

kinda makes you wonder how the GOP will do in future elections once Trump leaves the scene

i'm really sick of this old bastard. almost as much as i'm sick of Trump. and no, the 2016 primary wasn't stolen from him. he lost by a lot.
