Born and raised New Englander here, and I don’t know why you would’ve been given weird looks for eating fried chicken with your fingers, because we absolutely eat fried chicken with our fingers. Now, I can’t tell you about formal etiquette, but she might just be wrong.

Anecdotally, feels like there is a growing situation on here with nasty and divisive politics bots.

I mean, the thing to be angry about is that Dems kept an addled, tired Feinstein as rm/chair and had to work around her being too old to be effective

Since we’re discussing states to add, I know a U.S. District that has a population greater than both Vermont and Wyoming that deserves a look.

Somebody Somewhere is a perfect little show. If they were going to take it from us, they could’ve at least given us more than 7 episodes in season 3! I’ll miss you Sam and Joel.

Embarrassing that Esquire published this. It isn’t true.

Just a quick reminder that democracy is not automatic and you must diligently tend to its health if you want it to continue.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Yep. Biden, wanting to Uphold the Norms, agreed to keep on a Trump-appointed prosecutor who was probing his son. Created a special counsel to probe his own post-VP document retention. Kept on Durham so he could finish a Trump-ordered probe of 2016. What did he get? Nothing. So here he goes.

This precisely: “We have to be going to places where voters are hearing only about Democrats from Republicans. If voters hear about Democrats only from Republicans than Democrats are going to lose.” @benwikler.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2024/12/01/u...

I'm curious. During the campaign, fact-checkers routinely dinged the Harris campaign for calling Project 2025 Trump's playbook, saying "Trump has denied this." Have any of them admitted how badly they got rolled in the most obvious of ways?

Seriously though, for all the self serving post election analysis on what Harris should or shouldn't have done, has any major media ran anything noting sociopathic lying was apparently the winning strategy?

This is always wrong. Including when it REPEATEDLY happened to each of us who opposed Trump. Including swatting attempts to my house. Including requiring security details. None of these folks spoke up to condemn that then. Speaker Johnson was silent. Media: remember this during Sunday shows

Please, please I am begging you do not buy a Cameo from Matt Gaetz (he’s on there now). Even as a joke or a prank. Please.

One thing I hope we can do as Bluesky gets larger is be less tolerant of the resistance grifters who will try to hack the platform for engagement and growth without any interest in adding anything substantive or meaningful It’s a different kind of troll.

the thing about being a political junkie is you have extremely difficult time conceptualizing how someone could be totally ignorant of politics but i would strongly encourage you to imagine the kind of person who googled “did biden drop out?” on november 4th and then cast a ballot on november 5th

There’s a sort of Trump apologist, a relatively small but loud subset, who probably don’t realize or intend to be, but are so attached to a previous hyperbolic claim that they deny anything important changed. -US was already an oligarchy -US was already fascist -Biden gave Israel a blank check -Etc

1. The Gaetz report is a work product that has been funded by the American taxpayer. Releasing it is not releasing random investigative materials that could harm someone unfairly. It does not contain classified information that would harm the national security of the United States.

Even if it somehow does, those are arguably some expensive eggs

The more I think about it, the more I’m disturbed about this photo. We should transfer power. It is our constitutional responsibility, but we do not have to normalize him. I have no idea what Biden is thinking with this photo op. He is normalizing fascism.
