Amazing headline www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What a stunningly ignorant way to excuse the repeated failures of Democratic leadership. Schumer and Pelosi's tenures as Congressional leaders were filled with performative stunts, moral cowardice, purposeful inaction and routine dismissalals of popular policies.

Ah, liberals. When their candidate is nominated, it's always "vote blue no matter who." When their candidate isn't nominated, it's sour grapes and lies. I've never been more convinced that Mamdani is absolutely what NY needs right now.

Thrilled to discover that our apartment is about to become far less secure, as the new money-grabbing owners have decided to eliminate keys in favor of "smart" code panels. No one I've talked to here wants this, and no one wants anything to do with the scummy, needlessly invasive SmartRent app.

Just incredible hubris from the brittle fossils at the Washington Post here. While it's fun to spitball as to which one of the Board's racist cowards wrote this, the end result is a bunch of out-of-town intellectual lightweights lecturing voters on who they voted for.

The proposition that was tested yesterday was not "Will socialism sweep away all lesser ideologies on a tide of the people's will?" it was "Can anti-socialism, backed by millions of dollars, scare the public away from an appealing candidate with a modestly socialist quality-of-life platform?"

Not disproving the "Economist writers are some of the most vile, useless, unimaginative, self-serving individuals in history" charges, I see.

transition care for trans people is life saving healthcare. the only regret with my transition is that i didn’t start when i was younger. fuck everyone who is cheering on the destruction legal trans healthcare, and fuck those indifferent to it

The Alt National Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team of the US National Park Service. With 887k followers, is one of the biggest accounts on Bluesky. It is the 11 most followed account according to some trackers. This thread will dive into its activity. 🧵 1/x.

Echoing many others to encourage actual Leftists to forget about these phonies. Miserable as this thread is, it's helpful in demonstrating how utterly untrustworthy 50501 is as an "activist" entity. Big "let's put daffodils in our oppressors' gun barrels" energy, except here it's all performative.

NEW: Colorado has adopted legislation strengthening requirements that election offices provide people with ballots in Spanish. The reform comes at a time where the federal government has become very hostile to language accommodations, and to immigrants more broadly. boltsmag.org/colorado-lan...
