honey wake up new metaphor just dropped

It was never, ever about fairness

As usual, @juliusgoat.bsky.social nails the discourse to a wall www.the-reframe.com/winning-the-...

Again!

Freese! Holy shit! #USMNT

"you taught the world about freedom and it's time for us to return the favor" hot damn

In 2023, Amazon warehouses recorded 30% more injuries than industry standard. In 2020 alone, Amazon generated 599 million pounds of plastic packaging waste. Since it introduced its “climate pledge” in 2019 its carbon emissions have increased 190%.

no one cares that this is illegal but it is illegal and seems like something that might trip the court’s “major questions” doctrine

Diego Luna! #USMNT

And...there's a full-on brawl on the pitch after Tillman totally bones the penalty off the post. JFC #USMNT

It’s weird that the GOP wants China to dominate the future of energy.

New from me: From Bluesky to AI slop, let’s talk about why a further fragmented internet might be a good thing. www.altrightdelete.news/p/how-were-r...

Democrats should take that $20 mil they’re spending to learn how to talk to young voters and burn it, because the solution is staring them in the face and they’re trying to tear it down.

Who knew that fighting for your life on the streets is bad for your mental health, and that just having a stable existence can do wonders?

This is why Hakeem and Gillibrand and the party line Dems and consultants hate Zohran. They say they want a "Joe Rogan of the left" and it's clear that the Dems do not need that at all. Zohran fucks up the whole grift game. He's pulling back the curtain and they're scared shitless.

The last time a DSA-backed upstart overthrew an establishment Democrat in a NY mayoral primary, what happened next wasn't pretty. India Walton has some hard-won advice for Zohran Mamdani about what to expect, and how to handle it:

This is unheard of. Unbelievable.

Wow

‘Attacking the future of the party while Republicans strip every poor person of Medicaid in the middle of the night,’ by way of example, is not acceptable leadership. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward.

For all the complaining in certain circles about how Bluesky is a "bubble," people are really underestimating how quickly it's replacing the progressive blogosphere of 2002-2009. 🧵

Really impossible to overstate how completely this guy has failed at every aspect of being an opposition leader over the past six months. Jeffries is a truly inspiring example for every soulless careerist who would rather be king of nothing than stand for anything decent in the world.

the Big Beautiful Bill is extremely unpopular, fiscally disastrous, callous and cruel and devastating to Americans in need. And still we have national Democrats out on the Sunday morning TV shows criticizing their own party's mayoral candidate. A real wakeup call. Something's gotta give.

Jeffries absolutely *knows* he’s lying here. He knows Mamdani never said this. He knows he’s asserting things that are not true about the Democratic nominee for mayor of his own city. That’s bad enough for any elected official, but he’s the Dem leader in the House. Completely unacceptable

This whole piece by @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social is well worth reading. open.substack.com/pub/howthing...

Meanwhile at Glastonbury, Block 9 and Led By Donkeys have an exhibit aimed at sending fascists off the planet. Article below post /

The Zohran thing has been very revealing, and not in a way that speaks well to the Democratic Party as currently constructed. “Fix your hearts or die” would be my advice.

All I see here is top notch ball security, elite contact balance, a willingness to grind out tough yards btwn the tackles, and surprising burst after he finds daylight

They're just straight up fabricating stuff that Mamdani never said.

Democrats have been asked to disavow Zohran more than Republicans have been asked to disavow the guy who murdered two Democrats. Says a lot about how profoundly fucked up our political and media situation is right now.

Look, Americans just really hated never, not one single time ever, being forced to state their pronouns

hi, cis folks! the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor. if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi 🧵

There is a direct line between the impunity with which Trump and MAGA politicians tell lies about immigrants’ supposed criminality and the way these establishment Democrats feel complete license to smear a Muslim politician with false allegations and insinuations about antisemitism

Out-fucking-standing. Bravo, Budapest! #HappyPride, Viktor!

What exactly did Mamdani say about the Jewish people that you won’t associate yourself with, congressman? Be specific. Please use exact quotes, sir

Tech Guy: I have attained immortality! Me: Wow, you figured out how to stop aging? Tech Guy: No, I trained an AI on my emails to create a perfect copy of my personality. Then I uploaded it into a robot dog with M3GAN’s face. It will live forever Robot: As a businessman I often schedule meetings

I actually think the point of attack should be that they’re not proud of this; they’re not positive about it; they’re not selling it; they’re not getting consent. The GOP plan is to ram it through and let the consequences break people, because their actual constituents (donors) don’t care.

This is exactly right. Anyone voting for the spending bill is voting for higher energy bills and blackouts.

“I feel bad for all of you who are about to die. Not bad enough to stop it, but you know, a tasteful amount of bad.”
