Remember when everyone pretended like Trump got shot in the ear

Big-tent pluralism means supporting Joe Manchin's trash-coal plant and going to war against free buses

jd vance coming to bluesky to rub it in everyones faces they’ve banned trans healthcare for kids is all the proof we need that they know what they’re doing, it is a politics of intentional evil and spite

A spokesperson for Thorn said it tried to work with X/Twitter on the matter — the non-profit was extremely flexible, and tried reaching out to X/Twitter several times, but ultimately had to break off services due to multiple unpaid invoices.

I'm proud to have bullied Jesse Singal and I wish him the worst

Pro-Cuomo PAC Fix the City: "Top three donors: Michael Bloomberg, DoorDash and William Ackman."

It’s so cool this administration is going to sell the most pristine parts of the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, Cascades, and Sawtooths to private owners so they can log, hunt, mine, and build survivalist compounds on our shared national heritage.

Nobody could have foreseen!

Tucker Carlson, of all people, showing how easy it can be to pop the bullshit bubble if you don’t mind making a liar angry should shame every White House reporter.

Adding: JD is only on Bluesky either to 1) create cause to initiate legal action v Bluesky in the US or 2) do so in the EU.

If Vance really wants abuse he’ll need to talk about AI

Someone notify Jesse Signal, the Vice President is coming for his record of most blocked on Bluesky.

JD Vance waddling on over here to be an asshole is also a dead giveaway that it’s boring as hell over at X The Everything App

They hate us for our freedoms.

lmao

see I think of Flanagan as one of the people who went after a friend of mine for having the effrontery to be sexually assaulted and talk about it so sometimes I forget that she is also very stupid

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

how about the emphasis on biden’s age? on clinton’s emails? did those have no effect? it’s not just one thing.

I also like that I can see real people's real artwork here, instead of a bunch of bots spewing AI slop.

the new york times of course plays no role in setting norms of political coverage for any other media, being the smol beans that they are

For decades, US presidents from both parties used a simple formulation for defining a tyrant: a leader who threatens or uses military force to suppress their domestic political opposition. Now we have a president doing just that and conservatives are cheering. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Times saying Mamdani’s agenda is too much like DeBlasio’s is hilarious given that in 2017 they *endorsed* DeBlasio.

Free Market is when the entire country is owned by a handful of insane ravenous assholes who use the government to protect them from competition

Newsom trolling so hard even the trolls love it.

Unsurprisingly, Cuomo’s car has been ticketed for speeding in a school zone four times in a month howsmydrivingny.nyc/h97qmnh0

In case your not up on the latest lunacy, this is because they've started saying every mass shooter is transgender, even when they're not. The most violent per capita movement right now is probably MAGA, depending on who you include in it.

An important thing about trying to prevent gentrificaiton by blocking new housing construction is that *it does not work to prevent gentrification,* and I'm not really sure that's true of cities that want to instead reduce tourism by preventing the proliferation of tourist infrastructure.

Russia did not invade Ukraine in 2022 because the G8 kicked Russia out. The G8 kicked out Russia in 2014 *in response* to Russia forcefully taking Crimea from Ukraine. The timing and rationale is well documented. It's not in dispute. It's just that the US president is a Russian-sympathetic liar.

Politico is now reporting that the Senate is going to cut more deeply into the Medicaid provider tax. If you read @prospect.org, you would have known this hours earlier. No credit, ofc. Read @prospect.org, get the news first. prospect.org/politics/202...

Maybe I’m just a downer about the food delivery app companies but it strikes me that they gouge restaurants and consumers and *still* lose money while propping up…Andrew Cuomo?

Hollow Point Bullets Recalled That Don't Explode In Targets

almost performance art

There was an executive order last week that struck the sentence “Open source software plays a critical role in Federal information systems” from a prior cybersecurity directive in case you were wondering what Big Tech wants from this administration. Endless licensing treadmills for all!
