Raised on the "Golden Rule" and only a decade into being a Christian, I've realized I'm a liberal Democrat because of Jesus' teachings.

I was very confused when I saw NXT trending last night but clicked the tab only to find it empty, until I remembered I'd muted the hashtag due to the live bleeters drowning out #wrestlesky. I appreciate your enthusiasm and enjoyment, but I don't need to see you posting "ouch!" every 30 seconds.

Today has been such a day already that I just spent the past few minutes scrolling through someone's page wondering why my feed was full of posts from primarily one person.

#Wrestlesky What's everyone's go to podcast for #AEW coverage that's unbiased, entertaining, and features people that seem genuinely interested in or excited for the product?

This weekend has been depressing to see just how easy it is for people to go along with the boring and banal with a thinly coated, thick corpo-fascist center with a side of sexual assault, so long as the colors and music is vibrant enough to let them relive overly-mined nostalgia. #wrestlemania

Happy Rebirthday, Jesus.

While it's important to fight against oppressive voter ID laws, shouldn't we ensure everyone still has the same access to voting by putting in place programs that increase passport access and affordability? Especially if we're the party of democracy? @kenmartin.bsky.social @benwikler.bsky.social

If we somehow as a party end up in a position where our spectrum is Walz to AOC/Bernie, I think we could actually rebuild the country. The problem is that centrists want so badly to be in power that they give ground to fascists and allow them to shift the Overton window to the far-right.

The MAGA crowd that keeps swaddling themselves in as many stars and stripes as possible are about as effective as people that slap fake "service animal" patches on their terrible, yappy dogs to bring them into stores. No one buys it, but you're humored so much you think you're getting away with it.

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com @thebulwark.bsky.social How long are you going to milk the false narrative that all Democrats are in disarray and not trying instead of covering those that are actually fighting? Or are you too busy being lost in MAGA nhilism that you'll let the country you love die?

Dear moderates (and in particular, old school Democrats)... If you refuse to raise your voice and stand up now, you're essentially forfeiting any right to do so later when those further left than you finally have enough of your inaction and act themselves.

Hopefully enough will learn the hard lesson that you can't trust fascists to keep their word. The Nazis lied and called themselves socialist to be more palatable to the masses. We need to pray enough people learn that lesson in the future with MAGA and Republicans once we recover from this.

While I'm all for the "Lumon is trying to reincarnate Kier" theory, I'm also ready to get punched in the gut with a "they're just doing it all to make money and work/capitalism is their cult" metaphor for US work culture. #Severance

So what's the end goal of Canada as the 51st state, treat them like a territory without any rights? Because if they have voting rights, kiss goodbye the House. If provinces are the 51st-60th states, kiss goodbye the Senate. There might be enough votes to make us a parliamentary system, though. 👍

So how expensive is Europe's version of the Marshall Plan going to be to repair the damage done to the United States done by Trump, Elon, Russia, and China? Since the Democrats don't seem to want to do shit about trying to stop it. Resist. Or we'll resist you and find someone who WILL resist.

Whatever happened to botch that Thunder Rosa spot made it look really awkward, like she was going to turn on Stat and use the chair on her instead. When that didn't happen, it was even more weird. Missed cues, timing, bad acting, or whatever, but that was bad. Which sucks because she's awesome.

It feels like ever since Trump took office, everyone seems to be waiting on something... • Liberals are waiting for Democrats to grow a backbone • Trump and Republicans are waiting for when they're given a roadblock they can bulldoze through • The world is waiting for the US to finally go too far

Holy shit, Severance 2x04. Absolutely fucking amazing episode. This season is just banger after banger after banger.

All this talk of prices going up due to tariffs miss one very important thing... Once they go up and people get used to them and the tariffs go away, the prices will stay that high to ensure maximum profit. Just like with inflation. That's the point.

The Democratic Party need to: • Be on the ground in the community • Be on the air or online 24/7 • Have a core cohesive top down message from Presidential to city council From now and always. We need to stop being a party based on elections, but instead based on leading. @benwikler.bsky.social

I know the narrative is not to give into nihilism, but as a progressive and a Christian, it's disheartening to have thoughts like "the only way for Democrats to win is to appeal to people's basest instincts like greed." It's even more disheartening to find yourself agreeing with those thoughts.

The amount of people I used to follow on X who refused to leave after it became a cesspool and persist there even after Elon's "gaffe" because there afraid to lose engagement is quite frankly disheartening. I know the reason why, but in the back of my mind it's hard not to wonder.

I know there's a lot of bad going on in the world, but you'll have to forgive me for ignoring them a little bit... ...I'm a #Vikings fan in Florida, so I need to decide whether or not I'm going to watch my heart get broken again in the playoffs and risk terrible sleep for a second night in a row.

If we follow the Lion King metaphor in the meme, our only hope is the lackadaisical son of the leader before Trump who just wants to live an easy party life but who is also feared and hunted by Trump's lackeys. No pressure, Hunter.

I know it's the Duke's Mayo Bowl, but the "Hey guys! You can put mayonnaise on ANYTHING, watch these commentators eat gross food combinations!" is a bit much.
