Every conservative principle that could have merit is already represented in the mainstream Democratic Party, not to mention fully abandoned by conservatives themselves. What's left? Bigotry, sadism, tantrums over corporate logos. This is what you're trying to find common ground with
Love this show
tenbluelinks.org This worked beautifully for me: follow the steps at ten blue links and ai ceases to be the default for your searches. It's like turning over the pillow to the cool side
I won't go so far as to say this would make up for the stuff he's messed up, but damn if he keeps it up he might get re-elected. This is the energy (and policy) we need!
FUCK YES HE DID
Your lil post here has done more to answer my questions than anything else, genuine thanks
Cutting someone off for being gay doesn’t count as cutting them off for „political views”, cutting them off for being homophobic does, no wonder this skews the poll
Real lol, "If you’re a man, pretend to be G.K. Chesterton."

I think the cringe is an essential part of how we get out of this. Earnestness matters greatly
YES BITCH
Omg so deadly around here at the park for my son's soccer practice
No shit
You need 60% of the Senate to pass a healthcare bill, but one executive order to tell federal workers to only honor peoples rights on Thursdays and then furlough all the Thursdays
As someone with that background, YES YOU ARE CORRECT
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:
Fuck that motherfucker
Literally sitting at the back window, lights off, drink close by, watching and listening to it come down. Def a sickos moment
the american system is that redress should only be available for people who can afford to personally file a lawsuit the entity that harmed them. so the immiserated masses have no way to seek redress, while the wealthy have endless ability to punish speech/thought they don't like
I don't know who coined the term, but I've heard libertarianism described as "a competition to see who can avoid the most responsibility"
Yeah man what's wrong with wanting attention?
Rule 78: Put Street Trees Almost Everywhere Street trees do it all, they... Cut crashes by 45% Raise home values 9% Boost retail sales 12% Clean air, cool streets, absorb stormwater, improve health, and make places more inviting Walkable City Rules www.amazon.com/Walkable-Cit...
put street trees everywhere you can in a neighborhood, make curb cuts so that their roots can absorb storm water from the street, grow native plants around their base, check back in five years and count how many welfare and health measures have improved
My only question, answered. Thanks 💚
As with alot of things I don’t think party leaders are afraid Mamdani will fail, if he fails they get to go “well once again we’ve been taught a lesson about going outside of the mainstream” I think they’re scared he’ll succeed and then it’s like ah fuck we gotta do stuff
Yes I absolutely don't trust him given his record. But I'll encourage this specific action
Our report has already been covered by news outlets including The Guardian and Forbes. Now you can make sure your member of Congress sees it, too! You can help us defend public health by clicking here to write to them and tell them to reject MAHA and adopt IHAT. actionnetwork.org/letters/shar...
is there a single person in this administration you would trust to babysit your kids for an hour? I submit that there is not
As far as I can tell the idea that cities have uniquely high rates of crime is entirely fictional, there are just more people there - who all pay a premium to stay there, which would be very hard to explain if they really were uniquely dangerous places to live
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.
at this point... what's your epstein number?" is going to be the first question for every politician Coumo: 1 Trump: 0
Bad bad real bad hate it
Hey everyone, I hate asking for help again but I finally got in at an eye doctor and the new glasses (and backup pair for driving) I desperately need were a lot of money. I’m not getting paid until around the 10th next month. Anything helps. Thanks so much

How history is taught makes it sound like the Nazis were way more clever than they were, like they were an unstoppable force not just some really shitty people that held power because the regular, normal people went along with it
the music is in fact slowing, and even if we don't get an actual _crash_ we are still in for honest to god stagflation, and they're going to be stuck sitting in it for years to come
This one got an actual lol holy shit
Oh girl, the secrets SE Michigan has been keeping from you ... Try redpop if you get a chance
My faith leads me to better the world where I am, to ease suffering where I am. It's marvelous (derogatory) that someone could take the same book and justify wealth hoarding and cruelty. "God has no hands on earth now but yours."

5. This does a real disservice to readers. A recent Gallup poll revealed that 64% of Americans believe that crime INCREASED across the country in 2024. In reality crime "was down in all seven categories of crime across all 10 population groups that the FBI measures."
HELL YEAH

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being
Devoting to the abolition of ICE is the bare minimum response Christians should be having.
Matthew 25:44-45 Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?’ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.’ ⚓️
The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined. The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.
and THAT feels like good Catholic parenting to me "I don't have skin in the game because my kid is trans; I have skin in the game because I don't want to raise a shitty little transphobe" real!!!!!
I’ve been saying it’s a mistake to think we all have the same values and simply disagree on a path. Hierarchical conservative ideology has been pushed to its logical conclusion, seeking to rule not represent and the easiest way to accomplish this is by creating a poor, sick uneducated population
Fuck that's scary. Sending good vibes
💕 thank you!
It's funny to think that my preference for urban living in areas with dense, mixed-used, walkable neighborhoods, multi-family housing, small businesses, and diversity probably stems from Sesame Street. Like an early education in Jane Jacob's urbanist theories.
Same
there are too many horses in the hospital
Very happy to see this 💛💛💛💛💛 Congrats to all three of you!
💕 thank you Karen

Absolutely fucking yes
There is absolutely no excuse for any Democrat asked about trans athletes to ever respond with anything but “why are you wasting my time asking about FEWER THAN FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH THEIR FRIENDS. What is wrong with you?”
Kind of you! Thanks
I do bridal alterations so bride's shoes are obvi really important. The block heel has replaced the stiletto with an the 20 and 30 somethings, and I've never been happier about a footwear trend. Every time, a nice little platform in front and a solid column in back, chef's kiss to these brides
Better to be king of ashes than one among equals, right?
I think a lot of the rage were seeing now where even white ladies are rolling up on ICE to yell at them is because we were told for a decade we we're overreacting and every awful thing we were terrified would come to pass is coming to pass and even stuff that wasn't on our radar
The footwear weirded me out more than anything, like why the socks?????
We are $1,300 short of meeting out monthly budget for labor reporting paydayreport.com/1-300-short-...
A really below-the-radar change like sleeve length makes SUCH a difference, doesn't it? So cute
OMG I want a witch/Gandalf candle jar so bad. Also I want it not to be 99 degrees an hour after the sun has gone down.
My expectations are non-existent. But it's been ten years of "you will never believe the dumb shit that comes next" so I remain open-minded.
Hands down 💙
1. To hear the Republicans tell it, immigrants have been taking jobs away from “American workers.” That’s why the regime must purge “illegals” – to free up space in the job market and make America great again.
@michaelhobbes.bsky.social did an article not long ago about a conference he went to, which is attended by IRS agents AND representatives of the wealthy people who manage their money. Laws and enforcement are simply too slow. Just one aspect of a giant issue of course
So much of our current problems is not a matter of insufficient regulatory mandates but rather that we have radically under-enforced, both by the government and through private litigation, the prohibition of fraud.
@jamellebouie.net did an interview with @ztameez.bsky.social too, made me want to read it!
The last thing they (ought to) want is to make him a martyr, in any sense
WE ARE IN THE TIME. LITERALLY EVERY FUTURE TIME TRAVELER IS PROBABLY HERE RIGHT NOW
My son helps his great-uncle with the grilling every time we go for dinner. Runs to get plates, runs to ask great-aunt about the Italian sausages, runs to get uncle another beer, etc. He's never happier.
people who say "i'll never vote for party A unless they give me X, Y and Z" understand and are participating in democracy. anyone who is like "i will vote for party A under any circumstances no matter what" may as well have a king
Ha ha mine either 💙 I started it on Monday and am still not done, I don't blame anyone for ducking out bc of grueling length
If you want to hate your ears, Fundie Fridays did a deep dive on this lady youtu.be/xdV1ipTWoJI?...
I've felt this for a while. Earnestness and cringe will help get us where we need to go.
Nope nope nope he must not have Teen Vogue
girl full offense but if you are seeing anyone's genitals in the bathroom at any point you have fucked up. i've spent 30 years using women's restrooms and i have never in my life seen anyone's junk except my own
Sarah Taber, bringing the knowledge. Think about how many of you would delight to see organic crops only a few pennies more per pound than conventional crops. That's what we're talking about to pay farm workers a living wage.
A *slow* strawberry picker can get 20lbs/hr. If they make $20/hr, that's only $0.25 for a pint basket. Sure, that's a noticeable price difference. And it's still nowhere near "doubling or tripling" the cost of food, as I've seen people claim repeatedly. t.co/HMUhFats0x
Our comrades at Teen Vogue know what's up
Texas flash floods leave at least 51 dead, 27 girls missing
Yeah this one leapt out at me
Usually on Independence Day I eat a medically unsafe number of hotdogs and then, while waiting for the fireworks to start, talk about cool stuff adjacent to the bits of history everyone knows, like how it took six weeks for Britain to even *find out* about the Declaration, and how it was reported
It celebrates those people all those years ago, who in the face of impossible odds, gave to each other and their fellow citizens that grand and solemn promise: that a new and better nation would one day soon be born in that intolerable place, and by their own hands, and in their own lifetimes.
That is what Independence Day is. Not the celebration of a country already fully formed, already perfect and unchangable, or grand for its strength, but for those people who rejected tyranny; and their resolute and steely determination that a government hostile to liberty would be defeated.
Hooray! Now may the crackles and booms not keep you from your sleep
The roar from the crowd would be deafening
the Times - and the rest of the reactionary centrists - really, truly do not understand that your average liberal at this point is a) desperate to see anyone fighting back b) wants heads on pikes c) quite aware of how fast we are backsliding towards open bigotry
I believe @laurajedeed.bsky.social had a skeet saying, "never give up a microphone" Too tired to link it
