This is what “Globalize the Intifada” looks like, in case anyone was still wondering.

No, it's not.
And we currently have antisemitic leftists posting on BlueSky that those Jewish civilians in Boulder deserved to be burned to death. And being applauded for that. Antisemitism doesn't seem to be a priority for BlueSky moderators either.

"Pro-fascist," because there are only two political parties, and her whole political identity is based on attacking and weakening the Democratic Party. Her slogan is literally "What if we [Democrats] didn't suck?" I.e. "Democrats suck."

It is a thoughtful, perfectly worded, wholly appropriate statement.
It's extremely telling that the person who wrote it, whose entire political identity is predicated on pro-fascist lies and antisemitic innuendo, chose to disable replies to her post.

I know... Jeffries could take a side job as a toll collector on a bridge! Then, every time someone drives by, he could refuse to open the gate until he had delivered a speech to them.

*tends to shift erratically.
I think there's a suspicious incongruity between the grammatically sound and thoughtful construction of this one's posts, and the empty lunacy of the ever-shifting ideas that it ostensibly attempts to convey.

"A variety of tactics."
"I blame the Democratic Party for the things that the Republican Party is doing, for a variety of reasons, upon which I won't elaborate, and whose nature to shift erratically as people try to discuss specific issues."

Your craziness notwithstanding, here's a New York Times summary of the hundreds of legal actions that have slowed down the Republicans' destruction in the past few months. It's paywalled, so I'm posting an archive link.
If the courts had shut down, these couldn't have proceeded.

Here's a non-paywalled link to that NYT story about mass firings of top female agents at the FBI: archive.is/k19fs
The NYT deliberately caused this disaster, so they could profit from reporting about it. We can't reward their evil by paying them for a subscription.

Anyway, the point is, you told a lie about why Schumer helped keep the government open. We're all better off because he did.

Do you want Hakeem Jeffries to sign up to work as an Uber driver, and then deliver his stump speech to people while they are his captive audience in his back seat?
That could work. Not super efficient, though.

The Democrats can't bring any bill to the floor.

Listen to Sesame Street. I.e. the people who taught you how to count.
The Republicans control the House. Democrats can't do anything there without Republican votes.

Here's how impeachment works:
It happens if a majority of the House of Representatives votes to impeach. The Republicans control the House, and they won't even allow a vote, much less vote to impeach.
Take your complaint to the Republicans, and to the voters who let them win.

You're literally replying to a social media post in which a Democratic Party leader is getting the message out.
You might also choose to watch their media appearances or their town halls. Or you could just keep bitching.

No. Not by the people you just mentioned, anyway.
All of them have worked to put Republicans in office. They knew that doing so would destroy banking regulations, causing a massive transfer of wealth to the already wealthy, and possibly causing another great recession.

It's worth more than a moment of your attention; it's worth your habit
Currently in the U.S., we have the luxury to choose a day of protest; we have the luxury to choose a day of observance, of rest, of celebration, of joy
Ukrainians, since the invasion of 2014 have not had choice
#UkraineNATO 💙💛

They chose to conduct a surgical strike deep in enemy territory with great sacrifice to themselves in order to minimize collateral civilian casualties. There is a difference between Ukraine and Russia, just as there’s a difference between people and pigs. Physiologically similar…and that’s about it

Understood and appreciated.

If your response to "anti-Jewish violence is bad" is to say something about Israel, then you're an antisemitic piece of shit and you're not my friend.

That filth was liked by @cjinak.bsky.social, @nevadajones.bsky.social, @laukidh.bsky.social, and reposted by @byetwitt.bsky.social. I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt. They probably didn't see what the post replied to. In a different context, it could have been a reasonable post.

Readers who are coming to this thread late might be misled by @gclaymitchell4th.bsky.social's claim that his blatant antisemitic garbage is somehow a matter of "nuance," because they lack the context in which he posted it.
Again, filth like this does not belong in BlueSky, or anywhere.

Ukraine is defending itself, and quite rightly so - we are doing everything we can to make Russia feel the need to end this war. Russia started this war, Russia must end it. Glory to Ukraine"

I instructed the Security Service of Ukraine to inform the public about the details and results of the operation, which can be made public.
Of course, we can't tell you everything right now, but these are Ukrainian actions that will definitely be in the history books.
