let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

I know it’s Elon‘s thing too “delete so much that if you don’t put back in 10-20% you haven’t deleted enough,” but maybe I don’t want to live in a country that deleted 20% too much

Trump has never met a dictator that he didn't admire. that's how you know he's self-consciously lying about Zelenskyy being a dictator.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

It’s pretty funny whenever Lorne says SNL is nonpartisan. Or that they “can’t be Samantha Bee.” Last time I checked, having politicians host is 100% taking sides. And what was Tina Fey on Weekend Update other than ‘being’ Samantha Bee fifteen years early? Maybe he is a comedian!

I have a personal issue with RT-baiting stuff I agree with whenever they say “______ would hate to see this go viral” or “repost if you agree” without a ‘please.’ This is where I rebel against directives!

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

JD can dish it out, but he can’t take it. Far more often the rightwingers are upset that their insults have real world repercussions. He has every right to say dumb shit, but it doesn’t mean Europe has to applaud it.

I was very happy to get the ‘cleaner’ mind hug handle, so now I have a profile for my home-brewing operation. Excited for my next brew, a dry-hopped IPA. Should be ready in about a week. It will take me 12 months to drink on my own, so looking to share and trade with folks.

Sunday morning political real talk: the Democrats really need to start railing away at the “Republican establishment.” They’ve co-opted the word elite and the average person has no idea what an oligarch is so let’s just talk about the establishment and the status quo. Everybody hates those!
