heads up If you are using this moderator account it is intentionally adding people like myself and other journalists and academics to it claiming they are mis/disinformation in an attempt to manipulate the platform. It would be great if @bsky.app would take action against those labelers.

Democrats' most consistent line against Trump is "He isn't as murderous and psychotic as we would be."

Uber sent push notifications yesterday to its users in Illinois telling them to call their state reps and oppose transit funding. The bill then stalled in the House so now CTA is on track to close 4/8 'L' lines and discontinue 74/127 bus routes, absent emergency action from the legislature.

Also known as political correctness. I thought that was a problem for a certain sector?

Update: This happened last night—Senate Republicans went nuclear, overruling the parliamentarian and blowing up the filibuster to repeal California's vehicle emissions standards. Many Republicans will likely cite this precedent as reason to bypass the filibuster to pass the reconciliation bill too.

let’s look back at what has happened so far Cory Booker giving a 25 hour speech: everyone loved it, raised his profile Van Hollen flies to El Salvador and meets Abrego Garcia: everyone loved it, raised his profile Schumer publicly caved: everyone hated that just a general note to Dems

They are going to vote to advance the bill and then they are going to tell their voters to "fight back" against the additional cuts that their votes have enabled.

And the only Rep./Senator in the video that did any form of push back to Trump got thrown under the bus by the party cuz he wasn't "civil..."

It is abundantly clear that this administration will shutdown the entire federal government no matter how Congress votes. If @SenateDems stop them now and reject the false choice of this CR, the issue is focused and in the hands of Congress, not Musk. #NoBlankChecks #FightBack

So we are basically filing taxes just to avoid getting arrested at this point but not for representation is that correct?

Columbia announced mass suspensions, expulsions, and degree revocations the same day it received a letter from the Trump administration telling them to do just that if they wanted to keep getting funding

All they're going to know is how full of shit Dems are with the whole "Democracy is at stake" line and by extension, whatever negative things they have to say about Republicans.

Chuck Schumer caving and saying he’ll vote for a blank check for Trump and Musk is demonstrative of why Democrats lose. Voters so often don’t believe what they say because they don’t believe what they say.

utterly fucking astounding that any Dem would look at what’s happening and think that giving this administration sweeping new authority to prosecute speech on the internet is a good idea

Maybe this is just me but I don't think you get to have a PR push to declare that you're "done with politics" as you actively collaborate with fascists.

In addition to a weak federal response, which is the fault of the administration, local health authorities are afraid of pushing too hard on dairy farmers for fear of backlash like they saw with COVID. Backlash fueled by right-wing dark money groups. www.scientificamerican.com/article/bird...

Legitimately excited for this one. Edgar Wright is Edgar Wright. And Glen Powell is fantastic. He reminds me of a classic movie star. Something that doesn't really exist anymore.

Sonic 3 was a really fun time. A nice pallet cleanser from the world. I am really looking forward to where they go from here. The set up is great. Hopefully we can eventually get to a Sonic Heroes point with ALL the warriors. 😅

Musk is so funny. He has no idea how any company makes money so he thinks the answer is "do everything" versus "build tech products on top of advertising monopolies built on trillions of data points"

In addition to other sinister motives, attacks on USPS are because it’s a pillar of the black middle class and black labor. As of 2020 postal workers have the highest avg annual wage ($52K) and the highest hourly wage ($25) among the 10 occupations with the heaviest representation of Black workers.

I appreciate the optimism in these dark times. But, Dems consistently refuse to pass the baton, and continue to fail at meeting the moment. This is JUST doing this again with Biden lying and running for a second term! And we saw what happened there! I'm so tired of this shit.

See this is what I mean by the “not touching you” bullshit. You gotta learn how to enforce rules on bad actors who toe the line, because they are demonstrating methods to other users who wish to do the same.
