New York is one of the greatest cities in the world and an American treasure—but these schmucks want the rest of the country to be more like Tampa Bay.

What a fucking loser

The antisemitism is coming from inside the house!

BREAKING: Corporate funded Think Tank President believes Democrats should compromise with conservatives who want to eliminate trans people

Unfortunately, politics 101 is that you can't effectively neutralize an issue your opponent is trying to weaponize by adopting your opponent's side. The only response is to reframe this issue as: why are they so weirdly obsessed with trans stuff? It's super-creepy. And weird. and creepy.

The American political system is badly outdated, unrepresentative and in need of systemic reform. None of the problems we face are likely to be solved in a meaningful way until we change the structure of our political system.

It's incredibly pathetic to watch these Tough Men who are Taking On Woke complain to the media about how hard it is to be a fascist official. Sorry that it's hard to work 8 hours a day trying to kill your fellow Americans and destroying our freedoms!

I really wish the people who are in control of the future of humanity actually liked or cared about human beings.

still think bluesky will be fine long-term but my working hypothesis about what happened to this site is that all the people from mastodon came over here and hounded most of the normies back to x or threads or whatever out of sheer tediousness

This is great news for all the Americans who are hoping to die of bird flu.

The way for Democrats to win back younger men is the same way to win back working class people of all races and genders: aggressively taking on the power of corporate elites who are screwing all of us over. Enough with the weak shit. Stand up for people, or stand aside.

I hope the next administration prosecutes Elon for the many crimes he committed while working in government.

I know it ain't over, and a lot of damage was done, and little is fixed. But if you had told me ahead of Indivisible's "Musk or Us" town halls in February and March that this would be the headline in May, I would have described this as a wild success.

It’s incredible how all these alleged Authentic Men turn out to be pathetic weenies. Your feelings are hurt because you tried to take a chainsaw to the lives and freedom of tens of millions of people? Cry more you fucking loser-ass bitch.

The Trump administration is engaging on an all-out assault on the institutions, workers and standards that make learning and knowledge production possible, in the hopes of securing political dominance forever. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I can’t believe we once proudly skeeted alongside this man.

A lot of people think it’s Praxis to loudly pronounce they stand outside of Popular Opinion, rather than normalizing radical ideas by making them seem Normal.

The central lie of the Trump regime is that they’re doing all this on behalf of working people—rather than the corrupt billionaires who are lining their pockets.

In anti-authoritarian struggles, criticizing the regime for their blatant corruption is often one of the most important ways to mobilize the public and break through to regime supporters. The Trump regime is the most corrupt in US history—it’s worth repeating ad nauseam

If there are any enterprising political journalists out there who are interested in covering a President in terminal cognitive decline, have I got an opportunity for you!

God grant me the serenity to accept I am cooked, The courage to say fuck it we ball, And the wisdom to know when we are so back

Good morning, NYC. We have some very exciting news to share.

Conservatives have long cast public schools in America as failing to justify school vouchers. That push is currently being aided by centrist Democrats and the media pushing "sky is falling" narratives based on post-pandemic test scores dips. Don't buy the doom and gloom. wapo.st/4muwQHT

If the Justice Department official in charge of issuing pardons says MAGA can do whatever they want, they’re functionally operating outside any legal restrictions. The constitution is merely a suggestion.

This is a crime against humanity that I can’t believe anyone who has learned the lessons of the Holocaust would ever commit.

I’m old enough to remember when the President was so deranged that he regularly talked about annexing Canada.

This is really a legit problem! I’d like this place to replace X, but there are lots of people here who don’t want to be on a platform with people they disagree with. I think that’s misguided.

I’ll never understand why serious journalists feel it’s their job to write fan-fic about the United States president. There is nothing true about Trump’s propensity for deal-making. He’s an inveterate scammer who wants to be a dictator. That’s the entire game here.

This good news for people who want more Americans to drown in swimming pools.

Hard to believe there are guys out there dumb enough to root for Cassian Andor and Donald Trump. Merica!

"I spoke with a few congressional staffers who said that they had tried using Bluesky as an alternative to Twitter after Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk, but they gave up after their bosses kept getting yelled at by Democratic users angry at their impotence" www.semafor.com/newsletter/0...

Crypto makes it seem more complicated (blockchain! digital currency!) but it’s basically just private money and/or unregulated (and worthless) securities. We would give NFTs backing from the federal reserve—why would crypto be any different?

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

The president is a fascist and this is how the media is covering it.

It’s crazy someone was like, “You know what will improve Artscape? Putting it under the highway.”
