If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

I'm seeing memes stating the Eagles turned down an invitation to the White House. What I'm not seeing is any reliable report anywhere of an invitation being extended, much less rejected. So, if anyone has a reliable source for this, please produce it. Short of that, please don't spread bullshit.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

Every sports team that Trump calls before the game should lose, from now until the day he dies, just to keep the bit going

It's pretty funny how the Philly hockey/sports reporters are all posting as if Philly Sports BlueSky was rooting for Team USA last night

Trump take egg Trump crash plane Trump lose game

We never lost the 4 Nations under Biden… just saying

Man it is extremely bizarre feeling happy that CANADA beat the United States. In normal times international sporting events turn me into a full-on nationalist. And yet.

*through gritting, clenched teeth* Let's fucking go Kathy Hochul

The bingo card joke format is extremely overused but HOT DAMN Kathy Hochul swinging harder than every other Dem in the country was not on my bingo card

In @damemagazine.bsky.social this month I wrote about echo chambers and what social media is FOR in the first place: "There’s no obligation to stay where you find nothing useful or interesting, and there’s no homework assignment that requires you to allow people to ruin your experience."

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Mayor Adams out here showing everyone why having a comically bribe-able civic leader is in fact a bad idea

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

Most Americans have no idea that anything unusual is happening. This is probably the weirdest I’ve ever felt as an observer of politics, aware that the whole world is locked into a new order and equally aware that I can’t talk to the average person about it.

it was bad when the worst poster on my favorite website bought that website and made it terrible but it has been worse having that person also buy my country that i live in

Ma’am. Your husband plays football

This is in my neighborhood and I’m so proud of whoever did this

Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass who would by very disappointed in all of this BS but would never, ever stop fighting (or getting his photo taken)

Roses are red Like my cheeks when I blush Less than a week ago the Eagles sacked Patrick Mahomes six times with just a standard four man rush

for real why are we making the anchors apologize every time what are we doing

They should just have “we apologize for the profanity” scrolling across the bottom of the screen

Literally you don’t need to apologize every time, we all get it no one cares

TV networks, you don’t have to apologize for AJ Brown’s language, that was amazing and I’ll remember it forever

The sign in question. GO BIRDS 🦅

😭😭😭😭 wish the me of 2 years ago could’ve fast-forwarded to know this moment was coming

Seeing Jalen on a parade float with the Lombardi is healing something inside my soul

The Jalen Hurts media tour is hilarious…my man can play football but he’s a stone-cold introvert, good luck getting more than 5 words out of him at a time

This is a wonderful piece. You should totally read it. Go Birds.

The more I think about it, it’s just perfect that we out dueled Brady in a classic for #1 and curb-stomped Mahomes for #2. I wouldn’t want it any other way.

rotating like 5 different Distraught Mahomes faces in my mind

This was a deeply pleasurable read

Now that it’s all over. If you thought Travis Kelce was gonna propose to Taylor at halftime or if the Chiefs had won you’re genuinely a moron.

All bangers no skips but I especially enjoyed these: "I'm not sure I like football anymore. (Cowboys)" "Why are the Giants wearing Chiefs uniforms and playing in the Super Bowl? (Giants)" "There's still time for an asteroid. (Giants)"

If years of weak roughing the passer penalties for Mahomes all led to Jalen Carter slapping him down by his face in the Super Bowl, uncalled…was that worth it? I say yes
