You don’t find “common ground” with fascists. You build power to defeat them. This is the main reason why I believe fascism at the Federal level in the US will last generations.

Hey, why are we organizing society based on what makes the most money for the people who already own everything? That seems like it'd lead to a bunch of easily foreseen problems.

CHICAGO…
I’m so happy I’m here rather than that shithole state.
I wish I never had to sleep.
I want a politics that widens the circle to include everyone, not one that shrinks the circle by throwing *undesirables* under the bus. I think this is basic. I am interested in a politics that is rooted at the sources of people's suffering. I am interested in a politics that attends to basic needs.
They’ve become the only truly credible news source. It’s backwards times baby.
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."

So happy I’m finally out of that shithole state. Good riddance forever.

It’s not defeatist to admit when the system is rigged and needs to be smashed apart. The courts will not save us, the highest court in the land is paid for by this regime. It’s time to return the power to the people and leave the oligarchs swinging in the wind.
It’s a peak mon! But I’ve always thought animated/enchanted/haunted objects were dope! I’m surprised there’s less love for Skeledurge and Hisuan Typhlosion, or even Ceruledge.
I’ve always loved Aegislash! Such a cool ‘mon! I love the forme switching, the look everything about it!
This might seem silly but people are gonna die because of this shit.
Everything is possible. That's what the fascists are demonstrating, maybe this will get through everyone else's head.
@governor.ny.gov Dems need to fix the fu*ked up seats in NY that Lawler and other GOPQers sit in. Blue state, blue reps. SCOTUS has declared gerrymandering legal. Get it done. Stop yakking about and get it done.
Even stuff like DuckDuckGo is trying to shove AI slop into their browsers. It’s so disheartening
It’s outrageous. Gavin treats the homeless with just as much contempt as the fascists do and no one so much as bats an eye.
You are on the wrong side of history @moderation.bsky.app! Stop protecting these elites! Fuck that transphobe! Yes she deserves to die and I hope she burns in hell!
Looks like me after I’ve packed my bowl with a little too much.
Some Democrats have shown real heroism. But as a party they are disunited, ineffective, seemingly afraid of their shadows. What would an opposition party strategy look like if the Democrats were bold and united? Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-democrats-got-off-their-asses
Happily greeting a war criminal on a red carpet. What an embarrassing moment for the United States.
Operation “Get him to stroke out” is in full swing.
True it’s easy to assign malice when plain carelessness is probably the true cause.
Sounds about right. This has been multiple decades in the making. These guys have been working toward a new gilded age for a long time now.
Just like the rest of them, he climbed up that ladder and then pulled it up after him. This fuck would rather have millions starve and die than to deny one of their donors to have one less megayacht!
It’s beyond pathetic. They are wiping their asses with our democracy and telling the workers to eat shit or die.
I hope his words ring in your ears every night as you try and sleep @schumer.senate.gov! Failing to bring these rapists to justice is on *YOUR* hands you traitorous bastard!
Stop acting like this is politics as usual! People are being dragged away and put into concentration camps! Where is your humanity?
Trump is reportedly creating a loyalty scorecard that rates how hard corporations work to support his agenda. His regime is apparently planning to consult the ratings when considering corporate requests. This is how things work in a dictatorship.
Quiznos? Cosi? Subway? Jimmy John's? Jersey Mike's? Any sub shop I visit from this day forward will be judged not only on the taste & value of its sandwiches, but their weight, velocity, & stability of their wrapping.
Why are these idiots allowed to play this mockery out in public view?
Just shoot it in my veins!
Oh look, some incredible news, as a treat.
We are torturing people in Concentration Camps because they are brown Most have committed no crimes and some are DACA We have our military being used against the citizens of the Country they have sworn to protect It’s a COUP and we went past any rule of law or norms a while back
100%! Supes is least interesting in a “1v1 Final Destination” situation. Giving him a massive power set and telling people “hey you’ve got 2 minutes to use everything from super vision/hearing to find people, speed and strength to deal with things, save as many as you can” would be incredible.
Part of why we are where we are is that few people on any point of the political spectrum actually take racism seriously.
Gonna disagree with three words: Lieutenant Commander Data
I used to but now that all it’s gathering are other IPs I’ve sold my collection.
My reporting has come to the attention of Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney. Here’s the response I provided to the @thedailybeast.bsky.social
Damnit; take your like.
Noticing a pattern here.
Oh man the writing is just so smooth and slick. Always go with your gut instinct. You are in for a treat.
My best friend who watches Maddow just called to tell me that she landed the plane and plainly stated that the US is currently being ruled by a consolidating authoritarian regime. Not that it is 'descending into' etc etc but that it is here. Maybe this will move more liberals to say the same.
They are only worried about their donors, the same oligarchs that want the fascists in power. They’ll never do anything to stop this regime and are just a controlled opposition at this point.
What is going to be the final straw that breaks the camels back? We don’t know, but all we can do is to keep holding things up for others to see.
Hawt
It sucks, the only thing we can do is soldier on and set an example. Talking to people, trying to make them see that it doesn’t have to be like this is so hard. They build their identities around being aggrieved. My only solace is the thought that it has been worse and it can get better.
Obsessed with this photo of Mr. Rogers that looks almost exactly like The Onion sickos guy.

It it’s not *like* they are complicit. They’re beholden to the same donors and *are* complicit.
I've seen people get mad at folks who won't vote for political candidates who throw trans people under the bus [INCLUDING AT TRANS PEOPLE THEMSELVES WHO SAY THIS WHICH IS BONKERS] & I just want to say that you are ridiculous. "Don't you want to overthrow fascism?" My question to them is: Don't U?

You easily can! High Grade (HG) Gunpla kits are inexpensive and very easy to put together, no glue or special tools required! You can fall down a deep, deep rabbit hole of nippers/sanding/painting and customizing but at its core anyone can pickup and put together these kits.

Geller remains, frustratingly, a contemporary of every currently working essayist in the digital space. This is an issue, because he makes the rest of us look absolutely terrible in comparison. Watch his latest piece. Weep at his mastery of the medium.
Damnit, it came up in my feed earlier, but I also don’t want to feel even angrier than I already do. Damn the things we do for knowledge.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Concentration Camps. Humans are being exterminated.
Are they also Scabs?
We thought it was the end of history. How naive we were.
Today’s front page of The National, a Scottish newspaper.
Who’d have thought an unchecked corporation would do something like this?
This guy fucks kids and economies.
I hate it! Just admit you made a mistake! Have some integrity instead of acting like it happened all on its own.
Can 100% attest gilded age was great.
we are currently watching an entire political party run cover for the most notorious sex trafficking ring in modern human history
Get a library card. Visit your local library when you can. Libraries are one of the few free resources that have remained in our communities—and these are two ways we can help show their immense value so they get funding, and are able to remain a resource for generations to come. #booksky
Oh man I feel this. I used to be able to devour books, blast through an entire novel over the course of a an afternoon into evening. Now I’m a third of the way through A Tree Grows in Brooklyn after 3-4 months of picking it back up, remembering where I was and then being pulled away again.
In amongst support, there's a curious mix of hand-wringing & abject bile ("You need locking up or executing for treason" real quote in the Facebook comments) in response to an action that was as peaceful, co-operative, & non-intrusive for visitors as it possibly could have been:
holy shit lmao
Stephen Colbert, if you’re reading this: the door is open at the MeidasTouch Network open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
You and your donors are all allowing this carnage to happen you disgusting fuck!
Hopefully they’re put up against the wall just like the Nazi fucks who came before them. They deserve no mercy.
Let's all try to remember the wise words of Herman Munster.
They don’t want to win. Their donors are the same fucks who own the fascists. They are a controlled opposition and they’ll do anything to maintain the status quo no matter who has to burn for it.
The one that always stuck with me was The Wave. They were telling us what was going to happen, I just wish more people had listened. youtu.be/D55LkspO5ZU?...
It’s mind-blowing to me that there’s not a single corporate news outlet with an update about Dems walking out of a hearing over republicans not following the rules to advance the judicial nomination of a guy who told the courts to fuck off. Nothing on WaPo or NYT yet. Just wild.
when you, years out from an election, say "i will vote for that triangulating shitbag throwing minorities under the bus because they'll still be better than the other guy" you need to understand that the triangulating shitbag is Watching You: "they'll still vote for me! no need to change course!"

Getting into bed with the same donors and now being beholden to them is why where here. Citizens United needs to go! All PACs need to go!
Man Ruri Rocks is great. It’s a love letter to being scientifically curious and I’m here for it.
The fact that Bloomberg reports on the value of Bitcoin is the only proof I need that finance is a fucking joke.
OK, who can host a craft fair fundraiser in a wheelchair accessible, public transit accessible space in NYC for free? Please feel free to share this post far and wide. Thank you. We need it either September 6 or 7. Ideally the space has some tables and chairs for vendors. We have no money for this.
The files that Obama made up which don't exist which wouldn't implicate any notable Republicans anyway because Epstein was actually only part of the Democrat elite? Those files?

The senators there should not allow the hearing to proceed. Gum it up call it out for the farce that it is!
The size of our prison population is a global embarrassment, and yet not a single elected person has made it their platform to reduce the prison population by aggressively funding all of the things that are known to prevent crime & imprisonment. The system works very well for those in power.
