I'd kinda like to know how he spent his weekend.

What health coverage? Other than some international media, I ain't seen squat. Major US media outlets sure as hell aren't saying anything - that might resemble courage..
I say let Darwin take its course.
Dissuade him? Hell, they're encouraging him! Just look at the ICE goon squads - that's got Stephen Miller's slimy fingers all over it.
"State Capitalism" is a key feature of fascism (the actual political philosophy, not just how people commonly refer to right wing authoritarianism in general).
The Purity Progs hate him because he isn't an ineffectual spoiled toddler throwing tantrums about issues that the vast majority of the voting public either doesn't care about or doesn't agree with them on.
I absolutely do not understand why people aren't taking to the streets in direct opposition to this Administration. Where is the opposition? Where are the organizers? Wringing their hands and complaining online? That's it? Really?
He should run for office as a Republican - they go for that type.
Good.
Because Wall Street is composed of sociopaths who are all too happy to bet on authoritarianism?
Good.
Fuck that, and fuck them!
Should Democrats pursue progressivism or moderation? That’s a false choice | Michael Massing

Paywall, but I would hope "he's a congenital liar" is on your list.
Um, duh?
Good.
I don't understand why this movie exists in 2025 in the first place.
It'd probably be an improvement.
Republicans will believe anything you tell them. Except the truth.
Love this comic! If I could make just one suggestion? A cast page would be immensely helpful. So many characters to keep straight!
You can’t run a Zohran Mamdani in every district in America, but you can run a Zohran Mamdani–style campaign almost everywhere. https://trib.al/SGsosMA
The only thing surprising about this story is that the New York Times is actually acknowledging it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/u...
Why AI adoption is below industry expectations: 1. It doesn't work very well except for the most basic tasks. 2. It's intellectually insulting to those of us who know how to actually, y'know, create stuff. 3. It's creepy AF.
Watching the DLC DINO types go into full meltdown mode over Mamdani's victory is pretty entertaining.
Am I supposed to know who Karen Read is, and if so, why?

This is why liberals need to arm themselves.
As a side note, this is why many of us have criticized the Gaza campaign. In one night, Israel hit Iran’s air defenses, leadership, top scientists, *and* damaged nuclear sites. They’re elite—and precise—when they want to be.

I don't care if it's the best product of its kind the world has ever seen, if you put "tactical" in its name I'm not buying it.

What's with this weird fascination some Dems have running celebrity candidates? Didn't they learn from a certain reality show star?
Anyone else find the Musk-Trump rift unsurprising to the point of being completely uninteresting?
Definitely. I actually stopped hanging out in the punk scene many years ago because of it.
I'm just here for the inevitable gatekeeping comments from self-appointed arbiters of Reggae Purity®️
Weird take. I don't like Phish (or jam bands in general), but I don't hate them with a passion. I just don't listen to them.
FAFO, MAGAts.
You're the one moving goalposts. Nobody said anything about albums until you piped up.
16 albums and only one hit.
I'm not following - what is it they're surprised by? The scene with the Klan robe established exactly who the vampires really are, literally and metaphorically. I thought it was pretty straightforward, almost ham-handed in its obviousness.
Ignorance is never a good look.
Yes it is
???
At least he was able to cockblock AOC before he died, amirite?
Scott Adams IS a cancer.
Every accusation is a confession with this crowd, because they are incapable of thinking in any terms other than violence.
You're back! Or were you gone? Do you not post here often, or does Bluesky's algorithm not show me your posts?
Ain't this the truth! 🤺🛡⚔️
I canceled my subscription for a reason, please don't remind me that publication exists. Not that the NYT is much better.
Happy REAL Labor Day, everyone!
Pretty much.
Perhaps he's so repellant that even the edgiest artists can't stand to depict him.
Thanks!
You think he and his supporters care?
Resistance needs to do a better job of advertising. By my count, this is the third protest I found out about after the fact that I could have made it to. And yes, I do look.
Wait - what?!?
💚 Eno.
But her emails...
Um, if you say so. I dislike Phish (and jam bands in general),but I'm not weird about it - I just don't listen to them.
Fair enough. Definitely a certain amount of talking past each other going on here.
You're attributing reactions on my part that aren't happening, and it's odd.
If your point is many of our representatives are failing to meet the moment, you won't get any argument from me. But when someone sees the writing on the wall and announces they're leaving, maybe don't keep yelling at them? I'm with Peter Sagal on this one.
This is not a new thing. Politicians have used compelling narratives and personas to promote themselves since the beginning of the country. Abe Lincoln born in a log cabin - Andrew Jackson, war hero taking on the out-of-touch Washington elitists - Tippecanoe and Tyler too!
Uh, yeah it is. Their GD job (your words) is to legislate. If you don't like their votes, fine - that's what elections are for, and pressuring reps to step down is fair game. But as much as you and I might wish more followed the lead of Bernie and AOC... ...not their GD job.
That right there is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how our system of government works and how it was intentionally designed to work. Especially in the Senate. Read the federalist papers sometime, or reread them if it's been a while.
And he's stepping down. What more do you want? Honestly, what is it with people who expect representatives in an elected legislative body to just snap their fingers and magically make things happen? That's not how our system of government works, and that's not how it's supposed to work.
And he didn't single-handedly cure cancer either! WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!!!
Hashtag Resist?
Beautiful! According to the Innerwebz, these are found in Australia, correct?
A nice example of the authoritarian model of Socialism. Why not just do away with elections completely and install the ideologically correct choice (as decided by party elites)? Didn't you people learn anything from the abuses of the Soviet and Chinese models of Socialism?
Why would that baffle you? OF COURSE the lay media is going to latch onto the sexiest possible narrative, i.e.: PROOF (vice "possible evidence") of life on exoplanet.
This will pass. Maybe like a kidney stone, but it will pass.
Same, and I thoroughly agree!
'LOFFS!
I can relate.
Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

Petty, childish behavior - as expected.
Whoever you get your coffee from, let them know you won't buy their coffee anymore until they stop sourcing beans from El Salvador.
Good. The old guard has shown it isn't up to the task of resisting Trump.
Imagine being so lacking in self-awareness you think mentioning your contribution to Trump's win is "hating Palestinians."
895!!!!
Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements
And this is why everyone who values American democracy needs to get over their qualms and exercise their 2nd Amendment rights STAT. Better to have it and not need it and all that...
Shh! Don't remind them!
But her emails...
@bruceshark.bsky.social
"I'm not embarrassed of my own beliefs" is exactly why AOC has crossover appeal to lots of moderate Dems who don't share her ideology
