And I have a theory that dark matter is just ash and dust. It’s fun to do science while super stoned, but I wouldn’t invest any infrastructure in it without some goddam proper engineering.

Oh wait, that means that the Union lost, cuz the Confederates control the government. What would General Sherman do?
America didn’t do it. The Confederacy did. (We just established that they were not defeated.).
While everyone was keening about the Kirk killing, the Senate changed the rules regarding appointments to completely overrun Democrats and consolidate their power, which they will never give up. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...
So we won the battle in 1864, but not the war.
Agreed, but they would not have mattered so much if the progressives were united. Bernie divided them, throwing disproportionate weight to South Carolina. Had Warren won Iowa and New and Hampshire, as would've been likely with Bernie behind her, progressives would have had a serious chance.
Presumably we won it and we've been praising our United States ever since, but apparently not.
There are at least 2 America s now
Per Kirk's own MAGA logic, this daily political murder is the price we pay for 2a. Where was MAGA the last time there was a school shooting?
Well said.
And the casual death penalty drop...
It's not that decent. The shooter is at large. Cox had prejudged this as political.
Exactly
Which is why he is becoming a martyr now
Every school shooting is a political assassination. Kirk and Cox and their ilk made that clear to us all for decades, they just failed to treat ordinary Americans who die for the most violent interpretation of 2A like Kirk.
The only reason we were stuck with Biden in the general is that Bernie didn't think a woman could beat Trump, so he jumped in the race rather than throw his support behind her, and divided progressives.
Lol you are a hilarious demon, love you
Yes, call out their hypocrisy! They don't care when kids die.
Not for him, no

So national guard going to Utah now?
Kamala Harris was correct about everything she warned us about.
Overt racism became shameful, w no way 4 supremacists to openly discuss their grievances. Then the Internet + social media all happened, giving them a platform. The election of Obama enraged and motivated them, then Trump gave them permission 2b overtly racist and anti Democratic at the same time.
I think it was Obama that did that.
Do not confuse scrupulously polite language for lack of substance. She called out his lies in a way that ensured she'll be able to continue to.
Fascism, NPR. You might not be able to say it but we can see it.
With Donald Trump's signature filing in the pubic hair.
Thank you!
So.... His signature is the pussy. That's the joke.
Why can’t the Democrats do this, aren’t they the smart ones?
No one knows exactly what was on the Venezuelan boat that was struck by the US military, but the fact that the strike was okayed by the president’s son suggests that there was no cocaine aboard.
I'm ready for stronger measures
We MUST FIGURE OUT A WAY TO STOP THIS TERROR
Sure, but not like their flagship
So long, Grandma. Seems like Disney might take a hit, too.
So Trump's world is Putin's world
4 million citizens is significant! How can we delve deeper into this data?
Omg this is so fucking infuriating
It's the Fuck America Summit
Seems pricey. Why not just give jobs to DC youth? Oh right cuz fascism doesn't serve the people.
Grok wrote it
SO WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT IT
Nothing says "I'm with the common man" more than this, amirite
Concerned about this bullshit. Centrist Democrats are the new MAGA sanewashers. www.wired.com/story/dark-m...
Fuck you, fascist, Washington DC didn't need a federalized police force, go occupy one of your shitty red state cities with far worse crime rates. Oh you won't? Then prove that this isn't a FUCKING FASCIST OCCUPATION
Sorry, where was he convicted of those allegations?
But but... They're white
Look, nobody wants to see Joe Biden. Too soon. His vanity lost us everything.
So much for preventing waste fraud, and abuse
And the lyrics! Chills!
She sounds amazing
Unhelpful
Could we perhaps, I don’t know, blow something up instead? Commit some light sabotage? Put some sand in the gas tanks at ice headquarters? Through the thumbtack in the reserved parking spaces?
It's also incredibly off-putting to boss other people around when you have no evidence of doing anything useful yourself. A tone shift would be useful for summoning like minds to your cause.
Actually, a civil war has been going on for quite some time. Since at least Charlottesville. It is unacknowledged. But we still do not have a response. Random old ladies on the internet like me are not your savior for forming Rambo style militias. Community organizing will work, it did for the GOP.
But Irish and German ones are ok, amirite
Okay, General. Where are these arms progressive militias I can join? I mean, the right had a decades long strategy and it worked out for them. Why can't we do that?

Are we looking for blood sacrifice? What precisely should we do?
The damage is generational. Civilizational. Post Enlightenment paradigm is upon us.
It's harder to be good than bad. Trump gives people permission to be bad; Democrats need to communicate better why and how to be good. The Overton window has shifted for the last 40 years and here we areb in fascist America. It is time to lean hard left. That IS a return to centrism.
Night Sky on Mars #nasadailyupdates
How does that happen? Nature is amazing. Cats are amazing.
So Trump is PRO-SOCIALISM now? Can't wait for the media to sanewash this shit too
If the Third Way wants to recommend strategies for connecting these concepts with a broader audience, fine. Demanding that we dumb ourselves down isn't a winning strategy, though. And taking a 3rd Way during an era of extreme polarization is just dumb in the first place.
It's not a euphemism, it's a difference. Hunger is an outcome of food insecurity, which is availability of nutritionally adequate food in socially acceptable ways. If you have to choose between rent and food, you might not be hungry, but you're definitely food insecure.
Prepare the ketchup
While the internet has been consumed by Chipgate, there was another big City Hall corruption story. Here’s a thread on what you might have missed 🧵
Excellent recap of such a dirty tale, thank you for starting on top of the deets
Kind of inevitable, but overall, the debates are far more good faith here, and the wit less caustic. And actually witty . Well, sometimes. But wasn't it a bit dull here when it was all kumbayah 24/7?
Looks like a blank Maga Insult Mad Lib to me, you go, graffiti guys!
Funny. But also sad. Cuz true
Correction: Stupid fat idiot
He looks like a fucking drug addict, a sick carbuncle
Well let's get the message out that the myth of a third Way and their tired old tactics got us into this mess in 2016 and failed us again in 2024. That message being delivered with our money.
Wtf is wrong with "food insecurity"? Goddamn cowards with your losing political strategies.
Third Way basically destroyed progressivism as a way to counter Reagan's popularity.... And it's been a downhill, losing slide since. Time to give up on the "center-left" myth. Pick a side @thirdway.bsky.social , you're either fascist or not. Self censorship means you've already given up.
Third Way aren't Democrats and never have been
NYS is not as progressive as NYC. That's a heavy lift.
By chillax I meant save your exclamation points for Twitter, this is bluesky.
Strictly speaking Mamdani isn't a Democrat either, and he's going to win, so chillax and focus your energy where it's most effective.
I don't think the Democratic establishment is opposing him. I think they are divided
No, ob do NOT need to meet them, GOOD MEN need to DESTROY THEIR CLUB
Let's call it The Ongoing Exploitation of Labor by the Elite, then, happy?
Sadly, they're Federal but point-taken
Watch out, sharkies
We are, in fact, commenting on their account.
SCOTUS justices shouldn't take expensive gifts
I want NPR to explain what is really happening and to stop sanewashing the fascism.
Super constructive
Well, that's a fact-based evidence-based argument against occupation of DC. What trenchant political analysis would actually reveal is that this is irrelevant in a theatrical play designed to hide a fascistic power grab. Yr scared NPR, but call it like it is: the weak sauce adds to media complicity.

I would watch that prestige drama.
Would be so great if Macron got the Nobel Peace prize instead of trump
True but lame meme
Unfortunately it's not enough resistance
