A reminder that Trump called Baltimore a 'hellhole' today to no controversy or scandalous headlines. Imagine a Democratic president calling a red state or red city a hellhole. Just imagine. Oh, the double standards.

The flaw in everyone who makes a Bluesky bad post is that they come to the conclusion that making the site better involves importing people with centrist politics to talk politics when the actual truthful answer is that we need less politics and more goofs but that’s difficult when the world sucks
Someone please kill me right now.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
Transphobes would have a lot less reach on here if everyone stopped arguing with them and quoting their posts to dunk on them, they don't give a rat's ass about your arguments and enjoy wasting your time.
my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy
But like if "it" happened, how does that affect the money line for Longhorns-Buckeyes? -OS
Bobby's fuck up kid is the living parable that the third generation squanders it up their noses.
Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
There's never been a more difficult period in history to remain a silly billy
When someone started tampering with Tylenol bottles in 1982 the company recalled $100 million worth of bottles immediately even though they clearly weren't at fault
Update: it got funny again
Sandwich guy escapes indictment due to jury nullification!
I’ve been reading a lot of military theory & history lately and one of the themes everyone keeps coming back is the idea of initiative - The initiative is being the actor, not the reactor, and the Dems just treat the gop as a force of nature to react to instead of one you can pummel
@lifeisterrible.bsky.social You got me to try Clearly Canadian and I'm kind of mad at you but also very thankful.
It gets tiring to constantly be asked to be the bigger person. I don’t wish for a massive wave of rural fentanyl overdoses or anything, but it’s just enervating to be clucked at and scolded for giving people the same energy they’ve given you your whole life.
If you’re asking people to not adapt an attitude of “I don’t give a shit anymore, let ‘em burn” about Trump voters hospitals closing you’re asking them to be better people than Trump voters. That’s a reasonable ask, Trump voters are pretty bad. But you should acknowledge that’s what you’re asking.
Kid Rock: “No more music in California.” Scott Baio: “No more acting in California.” Newsom: “Excellent. My policies are clearly effective.”

Nossir, I do not like goddamn terfs.
genuinely difficult for me to get into the headspace of someone so insanely narcissistic that their response to criticism and dislike is to say "everyone who disagrees with me isn't an actual human being."
"Calvinball" making it into a major SCOTUS dissent is a grim achievement for comics
Somewhere, Bret Easton Ellis is watching this creepy video and getting very turned on.
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
If you're someone who has to buy instant ramen in order to stretch your groceries through the month, buy yourself a bottle of oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. A little of each mixed into your ramen makes it taste divine.
I just read the most beautiful four-page comic "Spaceman" (Marc Hempel, Questar Magazine, 1980)
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light
why does this guy look like he wants to teardown toon town?
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
james dobson is dead and cannot wish anything but eternal pain on that mother fucker. that guy destroyed so many lives
one thing you'll find from the people who do this kind of scolding is they do not have a substantive vision for what democracy ought to be, or even a sense of what democracy is beyond "holding regular elections."

Why wouldn't MAGA Christians want to celebrate the deeply Christian roots of abolitionism? Is it because those devout New England ministers' wives were *actual* Christians who believed damnation threatened their souls too and wasn't just a cudgel to use against others? -OS
What real leadership looks like. Thank you, President Barack Obama, for standing strong with California, defending our rights, and fighting for the people of this nation.
California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years. But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power. With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.
“The government should be run like a business.” It was dumb the first time someone said it, and it’s aged like cyanide-laced milk.

They simply believe Democrats would be worse. Somehow.
Meanwhile what have we called a special session for? Redistricting. How anyone continues to tolerate unified Republican gov't over this shit show of a state is beyond me.
LOL CHRIS CUOMO IS A FUCKING IDIOT
this has almost certainly literally happened
this guy is savage
Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president? Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out
Gotdamn
Part of why we are where we are is that few people on any point of the political spectrum actually take racism seriously.
So cute. The proud parents of The Gilded Age star Denée Benton wear matching T-shirts featuring the character their daughter plays.
Not a drag queen. Not a trans person. Not an immigrant.
Omggggggg
the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
Quality is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, but it's certainly better than no instance at all. And thank you for that

One relevant dystopia I don't see brought up very often is Lois Lowry's THE GIVER, which is a shame That shit rocked my world and was very correct about a whole lot of shit
it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season
"Hurling dildos at WNBA players had a very particular message: You may think you are elite athletes, but to us you are still here to be mocked & sexualized & demeaned. And when Don Jr. posted that image to his 9.7 million followers, he was saying *That’s what I think of you too, and so does my dad*"

i really think the only reason we haven't created new states — which was a common political tactic in the 19th century, see nevada and the dakotas — is that 50 is a round number
I saw a link to this headline and thought it was a joke. Then I went to the site and saw its real. At this point the legacy media is so trained by Trump, it cannot help itself.
It is
What is up with these bots that all have some flavor of this message going out? GTFO of BlueSky

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."
Idk maybe this is a drag culture perspective but I think we need to move past some of this being nice shit, because calling “ICE Barbie” ICE Barbie isn’t about “misogyny isn’t acceptable even against our enemies” it’s about her weaponization of hyper-femininity to put people in concentration camps
A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military. And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

Also, a Sega Master System box version in observance of 8-bit day (8/8).
Yeah so throwing dildos at women athletes on the court is an actual example of gender-based violence against women in sports—one that transphobes and acquiescent Dems will surely make 1000% less noise about
Dunno if you got the memo or not but you're not allowed to praise them for this because they've been shitty to trans people in the past /s
continue to think that one of pritzker’s political assets is that he is a bit paulie walnuts coded
Their response is always predictably the same -- "LBJ stole elections." Yep. Damn straight he did. He took the machine that you assholes built and turned it against you, and you've been bitching and moaning about it ever since. -OS
The ultimate legacy of LBJ's Voting Rights Act is also why it's under attack. 2012, a Black president wins his second majority. It cemented the fact that Black people aren't just house guests to be tolerated -- their names are on the deed too. That broke a lot white folks. -OS
I think his self description protests too much
I cried more than once while watching the new season
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.
LBJ's literal return from the Wilderness. His first public, political appearance since he'd left the White House. Johnson showed up at the Rice Hotel in Houston to campaign for Barbara Jordan in 1972. -OS
It's times like these where you see what a bunch of soft boys these Texas Republicans are.
Democratic politicians everywhere need to understand something: the massive support you're seeing right now for Texas House Democrats would be the support you'd easily get, too, if you were willing to fight back aggressively instead of navel-gazing and talking about "norms."
"You're in a leftwing echo chamber" Man, I live in America. No I'm not.
I was surprised at how much I've been enjoying it. Dale's voice obviously isn't the same (and hopefully the VA improves w/ time) but the decency of the show and writing brought tears to my eyes. Admittedly, I cry very easily
Friend, I see a diving board at almost every pool I ever visit.
