To get this headline Politico had to go to a former state legislator, no current Democratic officeholders gave them a quote agreeing with this premise. The reality is Dems are pressing the attack on Trump over what he’s doing in LA, and the polling says the country increasingly agrees with us

i hate the PSL. okay now that this is out of the way, you guys realize any naturalized US citizen can have their nationality stripped for being affiliated with a communist party right. like thats been part of the law for like a 100 years.

BlueSky is great if you just custom compile your own distro by first going to gihub.com/customlinux4... then type sudo /f apt update (NOT upgrade!) then wait for...

Like using Twitter or FB isn't about constantly blocking weirdos and spammers if your account isn't locked down. It's fine for normal people looking to socialize, it's less good for people looking to play the entertainment slots or people who believe they're owed a captive audience.

Saying "Look, Bluesky is great if you just block everyone, follow these lists, and mute these keywords" is the same thing as saying that Linux works great on the desktop if you just install this specific version with these repos and modify these variables, it's not a good solution for normal people.

If standing up for my trans siblings and their rights makes me an “insufferable little prick,” then so be it. I’d much rather be that than James who resorts to playground bullying & fawns over those actively undermining the very community that fought for the rights they now enjoy

I understand that California is asking a lot of Judge Breyer with this lawsuit, but Trump's claim of authority here is plagued by deep legal infirmities and the state's arguments deserve serious consideration. What Trump is trying to do here is literally unprecedented. slate.com/news-and-pol...

one thing legacy newspapers will do is quote literal Republican operatives without disclosing them as such, but any whiff of a connection a speaker has to the Democratic Party will be fleshed out in full to present the speaker as a hysterical partisan

Democrats need to take this up. Mention it in every media appearance until reporters feel like they need to ask about it. It's not political (like human rights or democracy or public health), so it's harder to both-sides it.

Trump now claims that he told the rioters to be peaceful and that he offered ten thousand National Guard troops to protect the Capitol. The first claim is misleading. The second is a lie.

Read this great piece of investigative journalism by @propublica.org. In a nutshell: Bukele, AND indirectly Trump, are engaged in protecting the leaders of the violent MS-13 street gang. This is based on information obtained from US and Salvadoran officials.

life is actually a lot better if you make an intentional effort to show kindness and grace to people. no, i don’t mean passively accepting shit and never exerting boundaries… i mean actively making a choice to be kind while being aware of your own limits and being firm on said boundaries

I actively dont like PSL and avoid events that they're leading. This is absolutely bullshit and nobody should be celebrating the State trying to force orgs to reveal donor lists and any journalist conversations because the Orgs 1A is counter to the States desires.

psl is a cult. that being said, don't think this is good at all!!

I mean yes, but there are definitely dynamics at work here that make things worse as they see, apart from a lot of straight up lying about events.

Someone told me Mamdani condemned Israel on 10/8 so I asked to see his statement and this statement not only shows empathy for Israelis but also proved prescient.

On the one hand: blocking shitstains isn't all that hard for me. On the other: that's not a site-wide solution and would be a lot harder if I was ever anything approaching a popular accout. On the third, mutant hand: Bsky management's continued avoidance of the issue ain't great.

My five cents to the ongoing meta discourse is that this site simply needs better moderation regarding violence, harassment and misinfo

that PPP poll that incidentally polled the NYC mayoral race is good news for Mamdani. I am a skeptical bastard, so I'm gonna point out that a Mamdani win will require efficient local machines to stall their support for Cuomo, very high turnout from voters under 45, and voters who understand RCV.

I see anti-intellectualism is alive and well. (A lot of conspiracist stuff requires anti-intellectualism because the evidence directly contradicts their claims. This is very frustrating because there are very serious problems with academia and especially pop academia that go unaddressed.)
