Iāve been joking about this for yearsā¦
No way to read this other than "please, sir, just tell us before you invade the city so we know when to bend over."
What the fuck is "BGLTQ?" Like Harvard just *had* to do something different?
Yeah, hit him where it hurts!
Wowwww Chuck, you got him now!
I'd prefer even rudimentary playback controls.
Lol reported and blocked š«”
It's actually remarkable how much the MAGA ideology is just one big temper tantrum.
No, I think it's fine for this particular Democratic candidate's uncle to have amassed billions of dollars since he says *and does* the right things, like spend his time helping people and defending democracy.
He has all the right positions and he's saying and doing all the right things. I'm not gonna not support a great candidate just bc he happened to be born rich.
You people will literally be screaming "distraction!" as you're loaded onto the trains.
Democratic āleadersā ARE insincere and feckless empty suits. That much was clear when Biden invited Trump to the White House and yucked it up with the guy he (rightly) ran against as an authoritarian monster.
Thatās my President š¤© #Pritzker2028
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Thanks, Muriel! @mayorbowser.bsky.social
Shower thoughts: It's gonna be amazing when he finally dies, but goddamn is it gonna be annoying listening to all the pundits and Dem electeds talk about what a great guy he was and how sad they are he's gone (not to mention scolding everyone dancing in the streets).
Probably because weāre all so fucking miserable all the time that we donāt want to read or post about even more misery every day. Also wtf happened on 3/21? š
So did Fuckface make his exciting announcement yet, orrrrā¦?
Trump sat down for an Oval Office address today, and in his opening remarks he said, "I passed away this weekend. This is a body double that is being puppeteered by JD Vance. Similar to Weekend at Bernie's but not exactly with technology advancements. Anyway, we're moving Space Command tata for now"
Ehhh I think Sicknickās was clearly related but the others are quite a stretch.
Donāt give Muriel too much credit, she just sucks.
Really canāt tell if these people actually believe this bullshit or just know their barely-literate viewers do.
How could they NOT? Though, to be fair, the DSA is likely to be electoral poison to anyone they back.
If for no other reason than to get Republicans to realize/admit that this is an insane way to run the country and agree to whatever legislation and/or constitutional amendments are needed to stop it.
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: ā¢admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states ā¢abolish ICE ā¢grant citizenship to any immigrant ā¢disband the 5th Circuit ā¢expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
3/4 of the bylines on this article have their X accounts listed in their bios and are still active on the site (including @kateconger.com wtf?!)
Nope. Someone on the court is very clearly stacking the panels and nobody seems to be willing to talk about or report on it.
Even worse when you realize the author LIVES IN NEW YORK.
The framing isnāt nearly as bad as whatever the hell this is.
Hit the docket literally the minute after I posted š
Seems to beā¦must have missed bars being āwokeā now.
It isnāt even on the docket š¤
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.
Think about it. "Dems were too zealous in trying to prevent the spread of the virus" is, in US politics, a greater disadvantage, a bigger problem, than "Republican lies got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed for no reason." Just a pathetic fucking country. Pathetic.
And more clear-eyed about what weāre facing than the median Democratic member of Congress.
Damn, Elon probably thought that was hysterical.
Good question? Itās the most obvious question imaginable.
Itās Politico, it may as well be Fox.
Great idea! Hasnāt been done in 160+ years but now is the *perfect* time to give it a shot!
Very strong āmy kid needs a phone so he can call me in an emergencyā vibes here.
Evidently kids are too good for buses nowadays.
The article says parents are *choosing* not to put their kids on the bus. The solution is pretty obvious.
The solution to "too many hate crimes" is definitely elevating the perpetrators to federal office.
These days he sounds like more of a blue-haired leftist than 90% of Congressional Democrats.
What the bluesky echo chamber whiners refuse to acknowledge is that they can come here and build the kind of culture they want, on the same terms as anyone else. That is signally not true of x, the everything app. I dunno, seems like a simple choice to me.
Yeah that's a concern, but I don't believe Chris Murphy has that problem.
This was during development (the paper was published in Dec 2020) so the ethical considerations were much different.
Yes, it was carefully hidden in the New England Journal of Medicine. Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine (www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1... ) 1/2
And what exactly are these "liberal-coded institutions" that were allegedly kept open? Grocery stores?
I love Warren, she would be my second choice. But I think Dem voters want the torch passed to the next generation and it should start with leadership.
Also the whole selling point of this site is that it allows you to pick who you do and don't want to see/follow. There really are no "Bluesky rules," which is obviously not true on X.
Longer than that...before March he was on here engaging all the time, and literally the day after the vote he just left and has only posted pre-written pablum since. Murphy too, to a lesser extent.
Wretched cunt.
He wasn't like this then!
Clearly. And it's largely because they refuse to stop using a platform designed to popularize white supremacist ideology and other right-wing propaganda.
Murphy is the only reasonable choice. Warren and Sanders are great but they're too old.
My favorite part of this thread is that Schatz posted it on X, because he decided after his pathetic submission to Trump on the CR that dealing with avowed white supremacists would be better for his leadership prospects than defending himself to the Democratic base on Bluesky.
What comes after trillion? Because at this rate I'm fully expecting him to start touting that's how much money he's brought into the US (while unemployment and inflation soar).
Officer REDSLOB?! š
Ugh š well that was quite a while ago, weāll see if sheās changed her mind. I canāt decide if it would be better for her to drop out or to loseā¦
Has Susan officially announced sheās running?
Itās pretty clear youāre a fucking idiot.
Q20 and Q21 are SO much harder than the others š
Iām not having this argument again with another Leftist determined to remain in a perpetual minority while the country descends into Christofascism.
Lol yep, thatās me š
The destruction of public health in the United States is Bill Cassidyās legacy. Never forget.
This is why weāre fuckedāthe Left will *never* admit that āteaching them a lessonā is an insane position, just as they will *never* admit their protests against Biden/Harris in 2024 got us here in the first place.
She also didnāt do herself any favors by failing to address them.
Has the American right embraced him as an anti-woke hero yet?
Itās hard to get across how conservatives actually, truly believe cities āburned to the groundā during the George Floyd protests. Like itās not just a rhetorical deviceāthey think Minneapolis, eg, is a smoldering ruin.
(To the surprise of no one, sheās a prep-school nepo baby.)
Itās actually incredible how dumb Megan McArdle manages to be on literally every single topic.
ā¦I think Senator Murray will be surprised to learn she isnāt in Congress.
Neal Katyal isnāt a Democrat, heās a greedy lawyer who will represent anyone willing to pay him $3,000/hr. Iām very clearly talking about Congressional Dems.
When was the last time Democrats āpushedā to end the tariffs, and how?
The Free State of Florida is now trying to ban *sidewalk chalking*
As if it didnāt have the fancy lawyers the first time.
Seeing the lead strategist for Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign saying Democrats need to abolish ICE and nationalize SpaceX should be a wakeup call to Chuck Schumer. But it won't be.
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldnāt go along with the lie. (Seriously, thatās the answer)
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administrationās actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
And I hope it's quite painful.
āA respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the groupā
Colleagues who, at least in this case, have WAY more experience and subject matter expertise than they do.
The story says the state will ācollaborate with local governments to connect individuals with shelter, health care and substance use services.ā
Really any SCOTUS case could go either way, but as KBJ said āthis Administration always wins.ā
Yet another example of how the āno universal injunctionsā rule is fucking stupid.
Theoretically, if the tariffs are ruled unlawful then anyone who paid them will be due a refund.
Surprisingly moving of @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social episode this week. The sad stuff really sneaks up on ya www.hyperfixedpod.com
He rose to power through crying about censorship from the medical establishment. And now Vinay Prasad is spending his time as an FDA official censoring his critics.
I mean I agree but that wouldnāt have prevented them from passing the bill.
What? Iām scathing in my criticism of Democrats but literally every single one voted against the bill.
I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.
Itās astonishing how a majority of the country supports policies diametrically opposed to the Trump regime, yet they voted for it anyway.
What a massive fucking disappointment.
I should definitely be hearing about Schmuck's supposed achievements from...the Republican Senate majority whip.
Would definitely just open my mouth and bury my head in there š
Oh my, someone ate his Wheaties this morning
To be fair, most Trumpers have never eaten cheese that doesnāt come in a can.
You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"
