I feel like there are still way too many dems in denial about the fact that absolutely zero resistance or voting or anything else matters at all if the republican party is still allowed to exist in its current form in 2-4 years.

Israel had to attack now. Iran has been two weeks away from developing nukes since 1984, and they couldn't risk this being the moment when they finally realized that.

if i was fueling my car at the gas station and some maniac started flicking lit matches at me i would calmly ask him why he feels the need to do that. no i would not stop fueling the car to take away his matches, that would be a violation of norms

It would be great if America’s pundits would pause this entire genre. “Burning down my house means I don’t need to take out the trash!” Your cleverness is not winning the day right now.

I dunno, frankly insane that we were bullied into silence about a genocide and I don’t think we should be bullied into silence about the same state actors bombing a new population of civilians and starting a major world war

Claims that an authoritarian regime wants opposition, and that their real fear is quiet public acquiescence, are so stupid it’s amazing anyone says them with a straight face. What weak, ignorant, servile complacency. Use your brain: those claims have it backwards.

Quinnipiac national poll: Trump's approval rating is 38/53. GOP's approval rating is 32/61. But they have one thing going for them — Democrats are even more unpopular. Dems' approval rating is 21/70. The congressional Democratic Party is under water with Democratic voters.

i know it often doesnt feel like it bc of how totally the right wing has captured the political media landscape, but its important to remember that less than 25% of the US population voted for trump in 2024. it is very much "the worst 20-30% of society vs everyone" and we cant forget that

Padilla is a great reminder of something that gets overlooked a lot by cowardly people who pearl clutch about "bad optics" of active protests against ICE: fascists will always escalate, and people DO react badly to violence against electeds.dems need to be provoking overreactions like Noem regularly

its a lot less confusing when you learn about Operation Paperclip and how Hitler was a great admirer of several aspects of the US genocide of indigenous people and Jim Crow

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL. Thank you Senator Padilla for defending your constituents and showing exactly what Kristi Noem and this administration stand for.

He’s never been credibly accused of sexual harassment by 13 women. He’s never denied being in charge of the MTA or pulled the plug on an anti-corruption commission. He’s not stuck in a decades-long midlife crisis and isn’t even past retirement age. What qualifications _does_ this young man have?

think it's just that most people possess object permanence and a functioning memory and remember Mueller and Garland failing miserably and how not one single congressperson involved in planning 1/6 was held accountable. At a certain point you've gotta learn when you're getting played.

I think this thread actually shows the opposite of its premise! It demonstrates that on the left we embrace a lot of myths and lies about our culture and the appeal of higher ideals within it, while trump, unintentionally, perfectly represents and expresses the most accurate depiction of US culture

Possession of marijuana is - to this day in many jurisdictions, as well as federally - a criminal offense. Visa overstay is a civil issue. It is not criminal. Thank you for pointing out that very important difference that you are an admitted criminal, while they are not.

ummm ackshually sweaty its bigotry to point out that an 87 year old who cannot be trusted to drive in a country where we let any sociopath run over 3 kids a year might not be up to the task of providing relentless and aggressive opposition to fascism

way back in college a study went around that showed those who self-identify as left tend to be a little more informed than those who identify as right, though it can vary a bit by topic. those who identified as centrist were consistently, significantly the least informed group across the board.

I'd love to be proven wrong but all this hand wringing over whether the military will carry out "unethical" orders strikes me as a total fucking fantasy. Yes. They will follow orders. When the tank crushes you, the soldier's mixed feelings won't save you. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/o...

you ever get the feeling that if a lot of prominent figures in history had access to something like bsky/twitter we would have significantly lower opinions of them?
