Democrats all over are doing what they always do - sitting around with their thumbs up their asses instead of capitalizing on Republucan dipshittery.

*attenborough voice* like the mighty salmon, elon musk can already sense that his end is near... and so now begins his last great journey, swimming relentlessly upstream to the garbage centrist democrat spawning grounds where his lifecycle began

don’t worry guys, bluesky can be perfect so long as we all get along. first things first, we just need to agree on tabs vs. spaces

How long do you think it takes a NYT reporter to order dinner? “Reports around this establishment suggest that this particular patron is interested in procuring for sustenance the ground meat from a grass-fed bovine, shaped into a flat disc and fried on the grill before being placed on a roll.”

I think this is a part of it that most mainstream outlets have failed to adequately grapple with. For literal decades, we've been selling students, especially at the high school and college levels, a story that hard work and dedication to their studies will help them get ahead and succeed.

Broken Record: You *cannot sustain* a functioning constitutional order if the general population is blasé about open violation of the Constitution. If voters don't care, your job is to make them care. This is not optional. If you don't, you lose even if you pick up seats in the next election.

Trump becomes the first American president to lose a Canadian election

Every Monday I wake up, fully cognizant of the fact that the President took a perfectly healthy economy back behind the shed and shot it, and then I go about my job for the week like that didn’t happen because I have no control over it. It makes me feel ridiculous.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Someone on X pointed out the scant coverage of Ron Johnson saying 9/11 was an inside job. The press assumes Republicans are crazy and malevolent, so when they say crazy stuff it doesn't get covered. But they assume Dems are competent & sane, so any data point to the contrary is treated as big news.

Savage commentary from Andy Marlette... www.creators.com/features/and...

With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The way Ezra lays out the basic facts in his opening monologue is so heart-rendingly perfect

Republicans are having their pictures taken in front of a building that houses thieves, rapists, pedophiles, and murderers. Then they are leaving the White House lawn and flying to El Salvador to pose in front of a prison.

Wrote a thing at how the Bukele/Trump meeting, full of absolute nonsense and bullshit in support of out-and-out fascism and despotism, is yet another dark day in America. www.techdirt.com/2025/04/14/t...
