I am begging my fellow Dems to emerge from the reflexive “it’s a trap” position on these issues and realize that some things are very simple: the public doesn’t like the federal government turning the military against its own citizens.The public doesn’t like the armed occupation of a city.Period.
There’s actually a very easy answer, btw. It’s the parents: parents should organize to say no AI in schools. I know there are plenty of parents who don’t want this rolled out for this kids. The community support between parents and teachers needs to be rebuilt
We know Kennedy is going to use bogus data to declare that vaccines cause autism. He hired a notorious antivax quack to conduct the analysis, who wrote 2/3rds of all the papers that purport to show a link between vaccines and autism. And he announced we'd have an answer by September. The fix was in.
Here is another example: lots of data suggesting that right wing terrorism is a bigger threat in recent years. But Musk stepped in to ensure that anyone who uses Grok is told the opposite. X is a misinformation cesspool *by design.*
this piece has been a *massive* traffic hit, by far our biggest piece this year prospect.org/justice/2025...

Trump crash economy

"All that stuff about a True Volk and out-of-touch-elites; I think a lot of the centrist crowd actually believe of themselves that they are elites, who are out of touch, who are somehow less Real than others." sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2025/07/comp...
Great story by my colleagues on the constant political realignment of Grok, the generative AI chatbot over on the other site. This change to Grok’s answer about the greatest threat to Western civilization is particularly ironic/meta. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/t...
im so old i remember when the alex jones right spent the last three decades telling us that clinton, obama, and biden were going to violate posse comitatus
I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.
The American Dream is doing fine, we all just need to work harder to be born rich.
it’s (tuesday) monday
New story w/ @hilaryburns.bsky.social: A DOJ lawyer accused Harvard of ‘indifference to antisemitism.’ As a Harvard undergrad he wrote a paper from Hitler’s perspective. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...
Shot. Chaser.
180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.
they’re all this guy
You're a lying sack of shit.
The mayor of Baltimore drastically slashed crime despite close proximity to Virginia with its lax gun laws and it was a blip in the news cycle and then a return to the only way to stop crime is law and order. We are a cruel, punitive country with a national press that loves facism.
They like Trump and are trying to help him
Nobody cares about your bullshit talking points. You're monsters.
lol they actually did it
They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with! All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!
Workers are the backbone of our state and our country. That’s why, since taking office, we’ve invested in apprenticeships and job training, protected worker’s rights, and prioritized building pathways to work, wages, and wealth for every Marylander.

You guys see where this is going? Right?
Many of you might be interested in organizing LUNCH at work. LUNCH is actually a lot easier than you may think. You can in fact do it right now, especially if you find yourself suddenly having fewer coworkers to invite out to LUNCH. Others who have gone for LUNCH are very happy to advise
Happy Labor Day 🙂
Especially these days!
Rappers would have their whole careers ended for stealing lines or biting someone’s style once upon a time.

bases are loaded. we got a triple on deck
Oh it's $20, yeah I'm definitely gonna play that shit, that's an immediate purchase
Let's be clear all those indies were absolutely right to flee this shit
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
this is what happened to my beautiful hometown after those lefty whackos put in a bike lane
Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss
Conservative media has turned the public into delusional freaks
I’m not sure these people are aware but you are allowed to just dislike something without it being “woke” and “the downfall of society”
When “destruction of art” is a function of your government, your society might not be worth saving.
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
historical controversy over the date of Trump's death between "whenever it actually happens" and "yesterday"
This sucks man
Hey Firefox users.
they made an SVU episode about bluesky
Just saw a video of Bill Maher calling Mamdani a “straight up communist” and I continue to be struck by the depiction of policies associated with the New Deal Order as far-left extremism, which goes along with a refusal to depict Trump’s unprecedented authoritarian actions as far-right extremism.
the timeline today
If you are wondering what happened in Indonesia yesterday, this is the whole summary. I don't care if you dislike politics, but it's about humanity. It would be greatly appreciated if my English speaker friends here try to educate themselves and share this as a form of spreading more awareness.
Zohran Mamdani is the happiest politician in America, his whole campaign is about how New York is awesome and can be even awesomer. Meanwhile, there has never been a politician in history who talked as much about what a shithole he thinks America is as Donald Trump does.

ICE raided a DC high school football game. ICE RAIDED A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME.
Really looking forward to a somber bagpipe rendition of YMCA
Seems bad
Bluesky right now
i really just want one (1) example of a billionaire paying for an incompetent and catastrophic business decision by losing their money and having to go work a regular 9-5
my sources have confirmed that donald j trump has died
Also, he's been mysteriously quiet lately and has an empty spot on his itinerary
long weekend at bernie's
Hearing credible reports from almost certainly real sources that Donald Trump may have died trying to suck his own dick. Conflicting stories going around, things are very chaotic right now
👍
i don’t think he’s actually dead, but it will be one of those moments we had in bidens administrstion where he vanished for like 5 days and came back a clone of the original version and looked entirely different
i don’t like the idea of the president missing. he could be anywhere. i am suddenly aware how little i appreciated opening my shower curtain knowing the president would not be standing there
this should be a scandal. jonathan is one of vinay prasad’s most incisive & vocal critics. prasad is actively censoring his non-government scientific critics. and his position of power means youtube will do whatever he says
You are all laughing and celebrating. I choose to remember the good times. youtu.be/ia_GL3ObSjQ?...
POV you are Donald Trump
Sometimes empathy is a burden. Not one I would ever willingly set down, but a burden nonetheless.
that’s what you see when you’re going to hell
Ok
It's extremely unfair to speculate about Donald Trump's health just because he's elderly and can't form linear thoughts and has the diet of a first grader who won the lottery and his flesh has been changing color like autumn leaves.
Hearing credible reports that Trump has been assassinated by JD Vance. Many are asking: did JD Vance murder Donald Trump, and how?
POV you are the secret service checking on donald trump
This honey-voiced woman who spends her life making babies smile has more courage than most of our elected leaders combined.
trump finally appearing on a balcony on sunday like first of all my doctor said i may have set the world record for health
It's assumed to work by enhancing the wearer's natural abilities. The main natural ability possessed by Hobbits is that they're easily overlooked, so when a Hobbit wears the ring they turn invisible.
FLAG: Missouri's governor just called a special session of the state legislature to pass a gerrymandered congressional map in favor of Republicans. Just like what Greg Abbott did in Texas.
Saying they’re unconstitutional but leaving them in place anyway pretty much sums up everything from the last 8 months
🤔
me after the tariffs are struck down as illegal
am i doing this meme right?
donald trump has died
