NO KINGS NO SLAVES NO NAZIS gets you the three good American wars, in chronological order no less. sounds insane to argue against any of them and yet it is very clear which side you're on

Oh shut the fuck up, this behavior that we saw is shameful because it's does not represent who the United States of America is, I will never give up on my country like you are.

Politico Playbook spinning a Third Way retreat as a Democratic Party Official Response for rage clicks and getting them in massive quantity speaks to a systemic issue with Bluesky. It’s just insanely easy for them and Axios et al to do this, and they know it, which means they’ll just keep doing it.

a super annoying thing about this is that politico and axios and even the big politics reporters at the NYT do this on purpose; you never hear about some moderate centrist republican interest group trying to get the party to moderate, it's always one-sided reporting, and that is by design

You know? I still find it remarkably easy to remain patriotic throughout this administration. Trump and the MAGA crowd are a repudiation of every single civic ideal that the United States is meant to represent—and I see no reason to stop believing in those ideals because of them.

Broke: Trump's policy is to cause enough chaos that this somehow allows him to install fascism. Woke: Trump's policy is a deliberate degradation of the Federal Government in accordance with FedSoc aims. Bespoke: Trump's administration only exists on paper, none of them know WTF they're doing:

I know I’ve seen people I like get their hackles up about this, like “don’t tell me I have to get off twitter to be a good person.” Make whatever excuses you want, but it’s official state media controlled by the fascist destroying the government with a wrecking ball and you’re helping enrich him.

Worse than appeasement. Appeasement is making concessions under threat, hoping that will avoid war (which is usually naive; they'll demand more). After 3 years of war and a million casualties, it's not appeasement. Trump is trying to help Russia's aggression achieve what Russia's military could not.

"donald trump is a literal traitor" is a pretty common belief in the american security services. it's even a pretty common belief among people who served as political appointees in the first trump administration.

He's technically correct that we can't confront Russia at sea because the Russian Navy can't get to sea.

Honestly it’s kinda horrifying how much of what’s going on now appears to be just due to really petty beefs over like, Joe Biden sarcastic saying “nice sweater, champ” to a reporter who then made it his life’s mission to destroy America in response.

If you're ostensibly on the left and you are uncritically citing an op-ed from a venture capitalist published in the outlet owned by the nazi-adjacent German who told his employees to pray for Donald Trump, you might be a bigger mark than the average MAGA voter

We still have the Affordable Care Act in large part because people kept the pressure on their Republican electeds when they were in charge even though it seemed useless to many to call someone like Concerned Susan Collins or McCain. The idea that your calls don’t matter simply is not true

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

if your main reaction to USAID being destroyed is not one of or both of: It means the constitutional order is gone, and/or it will kill a shitload of people, you are either a stupid person or a evil person and people should stop pretending this is not the case

It’s clear that some Jan. 6 defendants plotted their conspiracy to engage in violence at the Capitol while still present in their home states. Blue state prosecutors should consider whether they have jurisdiction to charge these crimes since Trump can’t pardon them.

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me: the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

"Nothing matters" is the motto of those willing to give up in the face of dictatorship and fascism. Everything matters. Each step towards freedom and resistance means something.

Honestly the best thing for a lot of people's mental health over the next four years would be to log off more and find somewhere in the community to volunteer at. Spend more time making meaningful change at the level you can affect and less time despairing about the levels you can't change.

This is illegitimate and illegal. I don’t care how many people support it, and how many judges shrug at it. It is a crime against the post-Civil War constitutional order, a constitutional order that was paid for in the blood of Union soldiers.

This is a deciding moment. The new president's inauguration features Nazi salutes from the world's richest man: where do you stand? We will have to endure far worse than ugly images, & we must know that we do it for the sake of peace, liberty, & brotherhood, however these monsters try to deny them.

Respectfully (and I genuinely mean this), I’ve never heard a single regular person ask for “bipartisanship.” That’s inside nonsense. They want things to work. If the other party refuses to work for people, be the ones who will. Fight for people. Make it plain who isn’t, and who THEY’RE for.
