“well, my neighbor got thrown in a gulag, my kid has measles and the ps6 costs as much as a ford bronco, but i just can’t get past dems refusing to say joe biden was old in 2025” - a voter who definitely exists

Not enough journalists are talking about the fact that Greenland’s Inuit people— Indigenous people—are 88% of the population of Greenland. Like, why is the White-owned media not talking about yet another Indigenous land grab by the U.S. ? Have they no shame at all?

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Throwback to some early Bluesky Discourse — I think we’re getting there, finally, two years later.

AuDHD: Went to get a snack earlier, remembered the litter boxes needed scooping, the cats’ water bowl needs changing, the two dishes need washing Might as well check all the doors, relock the car remotely, get the kettle ready for coffee in the morning Back in bed Where the fuck is my snack?

“The idea that you need to bring in Elon Musk—the richest man in the world, who’s got five tech companies—to figure out your thumbs?” panel member Van Jones said.

NH Republicans are going to try to shut down the New Hampshire State Library tomorrow through a budget cut vote. This library is THE OLDEST state library in America. They are also going to vote to eliminate the NH Council of the Arts. If you're in NH, pound the lines and tell your reps to vote no

Con law prof here. This shit is WILD. "Plenary authority, derived from Article II and the mandate of the electorate" to disappear whoever the state deems a terrorist is not a fucking thing in any kind of constitutional democracy. It's unvarnished tyranny.

Elon Musk has already poured more than $12 million into an effort to flip control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court to a right-wing majority. And NOW a group he’s funding is offering voters $100 each to sign a petition opposing “activist judges.” Election lawyers say the move may violate state law.

This fucker

Truth

This really needs to be emphasized a lot more: Inherent cruelty is a feature of this administration, not an aberration. These people ENJOY what they’re doing to others’ lives

So what if people starve, billionaires need that tax break

"It's why you've got everybody just like zip-lip, not saying a word. Because they're afraid they're going to be taken down, they're going to be primaried, they're gonna be given names in the media. You know what? We cannot be cowed into not speaking up." More balls than her male counterparts

Baseball media: if you do not loudly report on this I do not want to hear a goddamn thing from you about Jackie Robinson on April 15. bsky.app/profile/fbih...

“Income taxes fall most heavily on the affluent; tariffs fall most heavily on the middle class and poor. Trump has sold his party on tariffs as a way to redistribute the cost of government away from his donors to his voters."

My take on all of the talk about a Democratic "civil war": bring it on. A party realignment along the lines of fighter/not-fighter is long overdue, the stories we've been told about why this would be a bad thing are wrong, and Schumer's cave gives us time to work through the fight in Congress.

Just resign your leadership position at least, you useless bumblefuck

Precisely.

This works

Perfect

we could barely get members of congress to cite media matters reports and we put a lot of work into them! (some members did and continue to cite it but its a problem when the gop will easily cite crackpotmagamedia dot com without thinking twice about it)

Te: Dems in disarray stories: MSM has to feed that narrative so that they don’t have to pay any more attention than necessary to the dismantling and selling of America by President Musk They’ve subconsciously or not fallen in line with their corporate masters to toe the gov. line that all is well
