the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

Do people realize how much the embrace of a man who just four years ago everyone agreed had to step down is radicalizing longtime deeply loyal Dems against the party?

Sen. Tammy Duckworth just said on Colbert, "We should all live long enough to develop a disability," & the audience laughed uncomfortably. I can tell you what they were thinking. It was "Not me. That would never happen to me." & the underlying, unacknowlged premise was "b/c I'm better than that."

Oh? You’re a protestor? What’s your three favorite pepper sprays?

anyway I’m going out to protest this weekend because we haven’t been beaten yet, and I suggest you do the same it’ll make you feel better than reading an endless stream of posts about how we’re all doomed and we might as well offer ourselves up to be processed into slurry for the MAGA AI mines now

I continue to believe that in times like these, we all share a collective duty NOT to splatter our demotivating feelings of doom and despair all over everybody else in public. I don’t care if it makes YOU feel better. This isn’t about YOU. Deal with those feelings outside of public venues.

If you are concerned by the Trump regime’s attempt to turn LA into a police state so ICE can raid a Home Depot, please note: Every US Senator will soon vote on HR1, a tax & spending bill that would increase funding for ICE removal actions by 500% & put 10k more masked agents on US streets.

They Will Call You Violent

A reason im not moved by the “don’t give the trump administration the pretext they’re looking for” is that we would not dare say that about any anti-authoritarian protest movement in literally any other country

I never thought I would say I FUCKING LOVE THIS CAMPAIGN AD

This is very bad Once they start screwing with the data, that’s the whole ballgame

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 79 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

best reaction i've yet seen to someone blasting unwanted music from their phone on the subway: a bunch of teens shouting endless requests.

I am fucking begging you all to wear a mask. It's not hard and it protects you and others. abc7.com/post/nb181-n...

@bcdreyer.social What is your stance on plural or singular usage when referring to a trio?: "the trio Deee-lite ("Groove Is In The Heart”) and their acclaimed debut, World Clique." Do you agree with "their acclaimed debut" here?

if every single poaster here who shared anti-trump memes also signal boosted a single trans person’s gfm every day, it would save lives every day

Not a huge fan of how it's fair game to insult Kristi Noem's makeup or cosmetic procedures so easily. It supports the permission structure for attacking women about this kind of thing.

the thing thing about the admonition to “not take the bait” is that while it makes sense in the context of an election — where you are trying to communicate a narrow set of ideas broadly — it does not make sense in the context of “how do we make this president as unpopular as possible”

Here's why @aoc.bsky.social thinks we can stop this gutting of Medicaid, even before it gets out of committee. If your member of Congress is on the House Energy & Commerce Committee, use this tool AOC's team set up. act.ocasiocortez.com/call/save-me...

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Ah, choosing to spend his time among the suffering and needy, like Jesus

It really is this simple. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Breaking: Pope Leo XIV decrees 11th Commandment of "Thou Shalt Not Put Ketchup on Hot Dogs."

so the Pope is with the Dalai Lama on a nondenominational world peace tour & they stop in Chicago. The pope takes the Lama to his favorite hot dog stand, says, you gotta try it, this guy's the best. the guy says "What can I getcha, Your Holiness?" & the Dalai Lama says "Make me one with everything."
