the act of saying "i will abstain if the democrats don't make certain promises" *is* the message here
the *left* sends no message? the left sent a pretty clear message in the runup to the 2024 election and democrats literally covered their ears at the convention rather than listen to it!
over time I believe this will end up being one of the most unpopular things the administration ever does a death sentence for many hobbies and all the average consumer sees is that you’re taking away all their bargains one of the few policies that has a direct negative effect on almost everyone
my family is like this, and it's a weird belief-not-belief where you drive yourself into a state of frenzied anxiety about things you don't really think are true, or at least not true enough to actually alter your behavior in any substantial way.
Jonathan Greenblatt sitting in his office at ADL HQ, looking at this tweet and mumbling to himself over and over, "They must've just forgotten the 'Judeo-' part... I'm sure they'll clarify that later......"
The "we need to be hard on immigration to win votes" people are not reacting to the "hard facts on the ground" or whatever they're just racist Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
"Those risks, he warns, include the possibility that AI may cause officers to perjure themselves", which I assume they weren't doing before
Oh What a surprise Too bad everyone I know hasn't been loudly warning everyone they know about the inevitability of this exact situation for like two full years now
One thing even college level civics didn’t prepare me for was the total abandonment of soft power by the post-Reagan Republican Party. These are the folks who used to count McDonald’s per square mile as a metric of success.
one fact that consistently elides the centrist mind is that Democrats tried flanking Trump on immigration policy, to literally zero political benefit.
Tapping the sign
Thinking back to this reading about the latest round of farmers demanding gibs to bail them out from their own actions.
saw this tweet and checked my calculator history and I'm losing it
they achieved the impossible and reversed the piss filter just to generate even whiter guys
Meanwhile you people are still trying to imagine that you're being persecuted by Bernie Bros who didn't vote for Hillary even though they reliably *did*. You called their bluff, ran a shit centrist, they voted for her anyway, and you still lost!

Harris herself said the only thing she would do differently from Biden was put a Republican in her cabinet! If these imaginary moderates were such reliable voters, how come appealing to them has been a complete failure every single time?
They *explicitly* said the strategy was trying to appeal to moderate Republicans (who, by the way, voted even more uniformly for Trump this time around than ever before so yeah really reliable strategy there).
huuuruugughh leave me alone ...... um in my straw....
Cyclist Friend Explains Necessity Of $35 Socks
In this glowing story about the roughly 12,000 autistic lambs in Massachusetts willingly participating the Blue Envelope Program pre-slaughter, at no time do they specify what it is about cops that makes this blue envelope keep autistic people safer from them
The Dems happily sent in riot cops to beat the shit out of their own core constituency and blames anyone but themselves for losing!
Then why do the Dems spend so much time sucking up to "moderate republicans" who always vote for the republicans anyway?
I can think of no more hell-worthy torture to inflict upon me than *43 minutes* of AI-fake Orson Welles movie. It's insufferable even when other human directors imitate him, gorging on his artistic flourishes without the same clarity of artistic purpose. And oh what a punchable smug grin, too.
oh no he avoided killing vietnamese civilians while she decided she wanted to kill and someone shot back at her, that makes her look a lot better in this post where she's mad about a hat on a drawing and not a declaration of war on her constituents
If this happens so often maybe the Democrats should treat the left as people whose support needs to be gained by actually offering something other than open contempt. They'll throw anyone under the bus to win four imaginary swing voters and then wonder why people aren't voting from under that bus.
He created a podcast specifically to bring fascists on and say he agrees with them about trans kids.
The "abundance" crowd doesn't want to build stuff! They want excuses to *avoid* building stuff! They don't want to build infrastructure, they don't want to build things which actually improve people's lives, they want to build datacenters for Palantir and robotaxis to hide from public transportation
I will say it makes the transcripts even funnier to read now
Losing my shit learning that glinner is referring to Sophia Brooks not by her deadname which would be bad enough, but by some other random name he chose???
as close as I can get
The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.
"where do centrists find our Mamdani" is going to live in my brain
Recognizing that Gavin Newsom is a bigot and a psychotic anti-homeless crusader is racist now?
If lefty progressive types are a demographic the Dems can't afford to lose, maybe they should treat that demographic with something less than open scorn every single day?
Why? Well, for starters, 300 ICE agents have been moved to Chicago, leaving only about 300 in LA County which is about what we had before Trump took office. Why are they leaving? Because LA made their jobs TOO FUCKING HARD. LA Organized. LA sat on corners outside Home Depots with radios. 5/
The Graham Linehan trial is honestly some of the most batshit testimony I've ever heard a grown man say. Really shows the perverse level of brainrot that anti-LGBTQ+ freaks go to justify assaulting children in the name of protecting them

oh ok.
Commission my friend it's cool!
Hi! I have no job rn so it's the ideal time to get a commission!!
Frankly I hate this economic model where the government does very expensive and difficult work and then as soon as they've made it easy enough that someone could make money off it they abandon it and let private industry charge them to do that work, and they're fucking even that up!
Why is @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov breaking his word to help save Bay Area transit? It is just appalling and politically idiotic. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...
The whole business model for private spaceflight is built around letting NASA absorb the enormous up-front research and development costs because they can absolutely trust that corners weren't cut!
The greatest lesson of the Challenger disaster is that NASA needs to be actively looking for reasons to delay launches. The reason that their stuff works when a lot of private spaceflight doesn't is because they are *relentless* about integration testing.
I'm excited for some kerbal space program shit they fired most of the scientists, reassigned the rest to military surveillance, we're going to be trying to "beat china" with 20 rockets strapped to a chair named DICKS24 after the previous 23 DICKS launches kill everyone aboard
i don't feel the need to entertain arguments about gender including transness or sexuality being innate or not. it does not matter to me. if it's a choice it's a fine one to make. that's what caring about autonomy means

There's no fucking valor in being proud of it either! Would it be better if he had volunteered to kill Vietnamese civilians instead, would that make you less mad about him declaring that he wants to kill Chicagoans now?
mad that a *PICTURE* of him is wearing a hat!
I feel like maybe "he's not a real soldier" isn't the biggest issue here.
is *that* your primary objection here????? he's declaring war on your own goddamn constituents and you're mad that he's wearing a HAT
Oh wow it IS actually legal to *checks blatantly unconstitutional illegal law* be within what cops say is 200' (60.96 meters) of other people doing something cops might call a crime

I think there's something genuinely very interesting but also very funny about the NRA, the only right wing organisation that believes in something, having actually learned their lesson from the last time they accommodated right wing overreach to do gun control targeted at minorities
This isn't a woke NRA this is a "last time we went along with this it led to the Mulford act, which we've done nothing but whine about for 60 years" and I find that fucking hilarious, personally. You just know it's taking all the strength and self restraint they have
It's very funny how much the Q episodes and the Lwaxana episodes are alike

Its once again striking how much Trumps entire fascist project is predicated on ppl buying the Potemkin version that exists in his shitposts rather than what it actually looks like on the ground and in the legal system
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
Trump’s Chicago invasion language just reinforces the correct belief that Republicans hate the United States, they hate Americans, and they want to murder huge numbers of innocent people, because they despise seeing Americans live as free people.

Probably should be the only news story in the country that the federal government is leaking intel to targeted cities elected officials signaling the beginning of the fascist invasion of Chicago. We cannot continue going on like things are normal.
I had a reason for this post: RFK Jr. recs people eat less beans, a highly nutritious food rich with protein AND fiber in favor of meat. The man who was going to eat hrs old dead bear but stopped for a steak thinks this is "healthy". Meanwhile, we have rising colon cancer in young people.

this definitely started with the sister-wives bit lol
it rocks how abundance guys are like "we're just little birthday boys we just want to build stuff 🥺" and you ask what stuff and they're like oh you know... haha...
This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want. It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.
This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested. Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away. House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests? Read more House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg "Click to view full size")

Washington state requires all firearms applicants to go through their local sheriff's department. This is yet another example of how well-intentioned gun control measures infringe upon minorities because the people enforcing those laws are conservatives. www.king5.com/article/news...
Just trying to go about my life while the worst people in the world tear the copper out of the government’s walls and make my public existence illegal makes me feel insane.
🚨NEW: Reversing *generations* of practice, the Board of Immigration Appeals gives ICE exactly what it demanded, ruling that any undocumented immigrant who entered illegally is categorically ineligible for release from detention on bond — expanding mandatory detention by millions of people.
Ahahahaha they're actually going with it
