Every single Democratic Senator voted for Marco Rubio as Sec of State!

This is a direct attempt to undercut a core sports belief of mine (mountain time zone fans are secretly the most toxic) and I will *not* stand for it

We would not be where we stand today in the US had we intervened in this genocide instead of enthusiastically supporting it. Everything that comes to us now flows from that choice. We, as I have often said, have it coming.

Stephen King saying “capital punishment is complex” doesn’t mean that it is. Maybe you also think clowns actually turn into big space spiders because he typed it

Who’s affected by Social Security cuts? ✅ Disabled kids ✅ Seniors barely scraping by ✅ Cancer patients on disability ✅ YOU, in the future We have to fight back. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/msarielk... #Oregonizers

The government is detaining a green card holder after a bad-faith online pressure campaign by a bunch of Zionist extremists. A *green card holder* — meaning he’s a lawful permanent resident. This isn’t about ending “antisemitism.” It’s something else. www.dropsitenews.com/p/dhs-detain...

I can barely wrap my head around how much of a nothing this is. Everyone involved should be embarrassed

Yes I would like to formally announce that I would take $40 million a year to stay anywhere.

If Paul McCartney dies first, Ringo should immediately announce a new lineup of the Beatles

wait, you’re telling me that by objecting to unanimous consent, a single senator can grind the body to a halt?

these dipshit podcasters act like they’re addressing the needs of men but all they are doing is creating a mindset of systemic victimhood. They’re emphasizing self focused agency instead of community oriented agency which will only lead to worse self esteem when you don’t see instant results.

It is amazing how rarely I have heard a Democrat say this specific thing

if you replaced these guys' inboxes with a woman sportswriter's, they'd commit suicide by lunchtime

I have seen a lot of discourse dismissing base frustration with Democratic leadership as "just social media not real life" or "something people just do for clicks" and I cannot emphasize enough: actual data does not support this argument.

There should be no such thing as package protection. I buy an item from you & there are then 2 possibilities: I pick it up from you, or you send it to me. I should never need to get insurance for an item in transit. That shit is on you. The item is not my responsibility until I can touch it.

I found where they’re conserving you

I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.

Folks

Anyone who thinks Fox was in the wrong for having a preferred trade destination is a weirdo. Why wouldn't he and, most importantly, why shouldn't he?

If my dad owned a team, I would 100% meddle in every aspect of what’s happening. I get it

This is how you write a headline @politico.com

This is probably true. And also fucking crazy.

Why? Because Maine’s governor Janet Mills told him to his face she would obey federal and state law, not his bullying edict, and he snapped at her like he did at Zelenskyy and she said see you in court. So, being a thin-skinned hateful savage, he’s now collectively punishing/antagonizing Mainers.

I should've said this last week but it's really something to witness SEVERANCE get a huge budget upgrade for Season 2 and instead of using it on garish VFX shots or whatever, Stiller & co instead are making it look better than most movies in theaters right now

country roads take me home to the place I belong teenage mutant ninja turtles take me home country roads

legitimately hilarious to me how relatively clean my posts are compared to how much I say fuck irl

@npmbimbo.bsky.social This is to remind me to unmute you after we finish watching the episode tonight. Can't risk it. I'm sorry.

@profanity.accountant yes please

Yes.

There is indeed a body of polisci research that indicates Biden won specifically *because* of racial justice protests.

Got it in 3, today

This is sincerely insane. There is no benefit and will, with no doubt in my mind, result in babies dying who otherwise would live.

without section 230, you could have a world where bluesky is liable for me calling this man a clueless, tech illiterate, fascist enabling motherfucker

Get these survival of the fittest freaks out of here

“Rapid unscheduled disassembly” is incredible

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta. Why? It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.

It's not the biggest problem the party faces, but Democrats need to get over the tendency to look at obviously sociopathic and unprincipled elected officials and say "I may not agree with him on everything, but he is good at his job." Mostly because those guys also ALWAYS suck at their jobs.

I can understand if there is like a difference of opinion on policy options to address the same problem and your current position is unpopular, it might make you wonder if you're wrong and recheck the facts. To let public opinion shape your position on *human rights* is absolutely obscene.

i’ll just observe that republicans are on the negative side of public opinion on DEI but yglesias insists that democrats move to the right there as well.

[Breaking News]: Politician with arguably the slimiest, least trustworthy vibes in the democratic party publicly announces bigoted views against a marginalized group, probably thinking it’ll somehow help them politically. More as the story develops.
