It's wild how determined you are to run cover for Trump over this. Not surprising of course but still wild

giveemhellbernie.bsky.social•41 days ago

can we no longer "walk and chew bubble gum"?

one should be able to lead with sympathy and then fight those who make the tragedy more likely (at best) or outright caused it (my bet).

hikikomorphism.bsky.social•41 days ago

Is it a conspiracy theory to point out that the head of the FAA was recently forced to resign for opposing Musk?

ninaturner.bsky.social•41 days ago

No, it’s a conspiracy to blame this incident on the fallout of that before the facts are known.

It very well might be the case, but pushing that narrative before we know anything is irresponsible.

hikikomorphism.bsky.social•41 days ago

Why is it irresponsible? Right now it feels like the irresponsible thing is letting the trump admin blame this on DEI, as they are currently doing, without pointing out how it's their fault.

hikikomorphism.bsky.social•41 days ago

I'm honestly curious, I'd love it if you could expand on your reasoning.

paulwalker44.bsky.social•40 days ago

Same, Nina.

The hypersaturation of capitalist reactionaries and their mass media apparatus are the real mind virus.

Also, I don’t give a shit what someone who is still on the Nazi app had to say. I don’t care who her dad was. She is helping keep a website run by a literal Nazi alive. And you are doing the same thing by posting it here, we don’t want this shit here and we don’t want this thoughts and prayers BS.

wat21.bsky.social•41 days ago

No it is not Nina. This happened for a reason, there are people to blame.

hellointernet.bsky.social•41 days ago

Remember when we won actual political victories, not just moral victories? that was cool. let’s try doing that again

ninaturner.bsky.social•41 days ago

We cannot allow people to use this tragic moment to push conspiracies and political narratives. We do not know exactly what happened. What we do know is many people are in pain this morning. We must center humanity first.

aryafairywren.bsky.social•41 days ago

If you don't use this moment to fight, then Republicans will dominate the conversation, it's simple as that. We are seeing it happen again and again with Democrats, too. https://bsky.app/profile/goose.ski/post/3lgyb4j2aik24

emceebois.bsky.social•41 days ago

I think the distinction isn't fighting VS not, obviously Republicans who kneejerk blame DEI are flailing racists who can't be trusted to govern and should be called out as such. But we need to avoid over-stepping and pretending to know the results of investigations that haven't happened yet.

feybuns.bsky.social•40 days ago

Okay, but you do realize that leaves a huge info vacuum that will be filled by this admin right? Do you think people just change their minds when a news reporter says the official investigation finally finished? No. Opinions are formed way in advance and acting like theyre not is a losing strategy.

feybuns.bsky.social•40 days ago

Not to be cringe but left wing folks really need some instinct. They have none of it. They have a rule book that they follow but no real drive for change at this point. I guess some people are content to witness the horrors of our existence till they die.

Fuck that. It's the fault of the DJT admin

ledrapeaunoir.bsky.social•40 days ago

THIS! My god we have to stop playing by old rules! None of Fox News viewers go back and check on the results of things, they read headlines once and that’s it.

agtmadcat.bsky.social•40 days ago

Incorrect, that's not the world we live in any more. We must loudly claim the narrative and force blame on a worthy target. It's true *enough* to lay the blame on Trump & co.

machminotaur.bsky.social•40 days ago

why is being 100% right about the event more important than being 100% right about politics or ethics

I don't need to wait for details about the crash, it happened under trump, I'm blaming trump. what, you think he can be reasoned into being reasonable?

guillermoriesgo.bsky.social•40 days ago

You can't fight, let alone defeat fascists with legality and fair game. They are fascists. They are burning the game board you fools

terrypasta.bsky.social•41 days ago

Spoken like a true Republican.

scruffopone.bsky.social•41 days ago

I'm sorry the democratic brainworm that made you addicted to losing infected you too.

But you need to be pushing the extreme likelihood that Trump and Elon Musk's actions personally killed all those people. Stop fucking around.

emericanjezebel.bsky.social•40 days ago

"we do not know exactly what happened" jesus fucking christ shut the hell up

bodegacatnyc.bsky.social•41 days ago

Ms. Turner, I am a huge fan. I donate to your campaigns. But i do not agree. While we stay silent, Trumpist fascists/Republicans get more air time propelled their absurd narrative forward. This is the time to speak up. It is always the time to speak up. There can be more than one Teflon Don.

lennon-s.bsky.social•40 days ago

sat on your hands while trump grabbed the moment and set the framing

You'd think you'd figure this shit out after a decade of this asshole

vegetablegremlin.bsky.social•40 days ago

its not a conspiracy theory to say the forced resignation of the people whose job it is to prevent this sort of thing contributed to this sort of thing

caramalameet.bsky.social•40 days ago

God DAMN you are worse than useless, you are actively helping fascists by helping to sweep their bullshit under the rug
The people that IMMEDIATELY came out claiming this is because of "DEI" don't give a shit about centering humanity so we need to constantly fight against them

nippymobisto.bsky.social•41 days ago

We? We who?

muad-lib.bsky.social•40 days ago

Be better. Do what Pritzker did.

derscheid.bsky.social•40 days ago

if it weren't for Trump, those people would be alive today, and he is walking free to kill again, even as you pity-post.

If Trump kills me, Nina, I want you to hound him harder than you hound people who think there shouldn't be a minimum wage. Get his ass. For me.

diogeneslamp.bsky.social•40 days ago

No? Fuck off.

shadeaurion.bsky.social•40 days ago

Political narratives? This tragedy was a direct result of this orange good scaling back safety and firing people ffs

Wtf

bodegacatnyc.bsky.social•41 days ago

Damn, girl. You feel very strongly about this.

josephusbrown.bsky.social•40 days ago

Fuck that

khandel84.bsky.social•41 days ago

Pretty sure we know Sean Duffy is head of DOT, and Hegseth is Secretary of Defense and failed at their jobs. You are pathetic right now.

khandel84.bsky.social•41 days ago

Sit down

streetsvillain.bsky.social•41 days ago

honestly havent seen a single conspiracy theory or anyone being disrespectful but TONNES of people like this talking about "them conspiracy theorists, we have to keep a lid on them,"

Nina you're so fucking weird!

toxicgoat.bsky.social•41 days ago

You a herb

childlessgambino.bsky.social•40 days ago

center humanity first by saying and doing nothing, got it 👍

commiespacewizard.bsky.social•40 days ago

Meanwhile, the other side is already taking over the narrative and blaming the obvious usuals.

Do you think they care about knowing what happened?

The cause of this is 100% a political narrative and "the resistance" is so focused on saying clean they're forfeiting the game rather than play. Lame.

ledrapeaunoir.bsky.social•40 days ago

I’m sorry? Are we pretending republicans wouldn’t do this, haven’t done this and that’s why they have been so effective!? They are doing it RIGHT now, blaming it on DEI. The least we could do is factually say “freezing hiring for important safety agencies like this hurts Americans!”

jimmytwohands.bsky.social•40 days ago

Welp it’s too late now, trump blamed it all on dei and the media lapped it up like hogs at a trough because team blue can’t communicate for shit and takes the high road at every chance

jaydendaniels5fan.bsky.social•40 days ago

unheavenlycreature.bsky.social•40 days ago

how is this any different than every tursday when a school gets shot up, scolding anyone who wants to finally have that gun control conversation?

catxia.bsky.social•40 days ago

This you?

vegetablegremlin.bsky.social•40 days ago

she was right, in that one

diogeneslamp.bsky.social•40 days ago

About the guy under whom there were no plane crashes at all for 4 years? OK

vegetablegremlin.bsky.social•40 days ago

no, about how the train crash was a consequence of policy

moneyshredder.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yeah but she was right about this one

junjidevito.bsky.social•40 days ago

We must not politicize the tragic fire in the Reichstag. When they go low, we will go high ❤️

guillermoriesgo.bsky.social•40 days ago

I think at this point the "when they go low we go high" phrase is the one I hate the most in the last years for being the most pointless and useless philosophy against fascism that was ever created

winterpancake.bsky.social•40 days ago

Love trump's hate has it beat

winterpancake.bsky.social•40 days ago

Oh sorry typo. Love trump's hate

winterpancake.bsky.social•40 days ago

Fuck i did it again

collaterly.bsky.social•40 days ago

Your honeyed words - already deleted once - will not cover the rot. You are a Nazi collaborator.

themilfmag.net•40 days ago

why not?

yggdrasillygoose.bsky.social•40 days ago

Sorry but no, if the reverse happened & the biggest aviation disaster in decades had happened a week after Biden signed an EO about firing political undesirables who work in that field, the Republicans would be drafting articles of impeachment. The least we can do is yell at Trump & blame him

panadero.bsky.social•40 days ago

retire

estrusflask.bsky.social•40 days ago

I need you to realize that "this literally happened because of Trump's actions" is not a conspiracy theory, and pretending like this isn't the obvious and logical conclusion of what has been done serves absolutely no purpose other than to facilitate fascism.

shujii.bsky.social•41 days ago

I'm with you on conspiracies and unconfirmed information, but it's fair to fit this into political narratives, where it almost certainly belongs

ninaturner.bsky.social•41 days ago

Why? We don’t know what caused it.

The GOP is blaming DEI. Is that ok? Because it fits their political narrative?

bodegacatnyc.bsky.social•41 days ago

The GOP deprioritized safety. Then immediately this happened. You only have to share the facts that occurred chronologically next to each other. That is it.

drsidneyzweibel.bsky.social•41 days ago

Isn't that what the FAA and NTSB exist for? To answer, from a political perspective, what happened?

pebbles.gay•41 days ago

once again, with feeling

khandel84.bsky.social•41 days ago

Pretty sure we know an army helicopter flew into a passenger jet was the cause.

powerful.crabf.art•40 days ago

Pull your head out of your ass

jametc.bsky.social•41 days ago

I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude that shuttering airplane safety and control personnel and then the first aircraft casualty event in almost two decades happens mere days later are connected, especially when the exact people who were fired and who could've prevented it are saying as such

shujii.bsky.social•41 days ago

Someone's incompetence caused it. Is pointing out the administration's cuts and firings related to air safety really comparable to blaming DEI? Do you think it's politically effective to have nothing to counter their narrative until months later?

feybuns.bsky.social•40 days ago

She is really arguing for us to leave an information vacuum that will 100% be filled by GOP bullshit. Is having serving as a dem and having a substack really that corrosive to a person's brain? I guess so.

sexdracula.rocks•41 days ago

democrats don't let republicans control the narrative challenge (impossible)

Vichy Dem says what

bardivarius.bsky.social•41 days ago

axellycan.bsky.social•41 days ago

This happened due to human failure and an increasing push for flight densities despite many near-miss collisions in the past. It wasn’t a tornado. Decisions and greed did this.
