the fatal flaw with the Bluesky is dying proposition is that it ignores the broader truth that I am also dying, as are you, and everybody you know. By dying Bluesky lets us know that it’s one of us, that it shares in our beauty and our pain. Grow or die? No, there is no “or.” Bluesky understands
You guys see where this is going? Right?
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Howl’s Moving Cattle. look if I had to think it then you have to read it those are the rules
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
Oh yeah - it wasn’t a criticism
i need politicians to be as mad at housing prices as they are about cracker barrel's new logo
You should write about how parents don’t know if their public school is going to open next week, and if it can, whether it will stay open all the way through September. The state Dept. of Education response has been that it’s “a local problem.”
At the command of the president, red states are sending armed troops to occupy a blue city based on a manufactured crisis, over the objections of that city's leadership and 80 percent of its residents. If this isn't authoritarianism, I'm not sure what is.
The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

if you can't sell the american public on the idea that federal troops in the streets is fundamentally unacceptable then you have no business being in politics. and if you do not forcibly believe this at your core such that you can't shut up about it, that goes double for you

I'm not right wing but some of this "woke" stuff is a little over the top [6 months later] Slavery was fine. Your city is under martial law
much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

American manufacturing employment has been basically flat at 12.7M since the pandemic, but that hides a major outmigration of jobs from the northeast, midwest, & pacific coast towards the subelt & mountain west Michigan has lost 26k manufacturing jobs while Texas has gained 65k

Mamdani on Cuomo: "I don't need to do much to make the governor appear extremely dislikable."
The U.S. has never lived up to its stated commitment to human rights, but this is an embarrassment. Germany is not less free than El Salvador. Our assessment of a country's human rights record now turns on Trump's relationship with that country. We are the baddies.
This gets more infuriating each time I see it. Trump has made clear for years that he wants to exert dominance over cities and states that don't support him -- nonwhite cities in particular. His aides and supporters have made it clear. Stop conceding his premise. This is not about crime.
This guy's a vet and a lawyer who threw a sandwich and offered to turn himself in, so they sent a paramilitary platoon with a camera crew. They have FBI and U.S. Marshal badges; apparently those agencies do no real work beyond camera stunts, harassing minorities, and filling concentration camps.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."
Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

Hochul: "This is what I call a legal insurrection ... they know they're going to lose next year. That's the only reason they're engaged in this. It also might be a nice distraction from people asking -- all of the sudden this happens when? When they refuse to release the Epstein files."

A while ago I read “Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television” by Jerry Mander. In the age of social media, I found it a little quaint. Now, as a reality TV head of NASA destroys a satellite on behalf of a reality TV president, I realize how right he was.
School vouchers are a scam to send taxpayer money to private religious schools. Vouchers are also a violation of church and state.
Heinous.
If you’re a basketball fan in any way it is your sacred duty to stomp the shit out of these assholes. At the game, during regulation.
In the abstract there's no inherent connection between crypto and being a malevolent, transgressive asshole. But the two things run together with remarkable consistency.

I presume Dean Cain has seen the videos of ICE agents giddily abusing and terrifying people. Dean Cain decided to join ICE not because he needs a job, but because he wants to take part in the abusing and the terrifying. Dean Cain is a sorry human being. www.euronews.com/culture/2025...
Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points: •Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus •Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship
Noticing a pattern here.
In a year when so many other priorities went begging, subsidizing private school tuition for wealthy families was a top priority for our GOP governor and legislative majority. #NHPolitics indepthnh.org/2025/08/05/e...
one of the most infuriating parts of the Epstein story is over the same years that young women went to police and reported assault, and were ignored, law enforcement is pushing this idea that they need massive grants and manpower to rescue thousands of girls they say don’t even know they’re victims
If ACA premium tax credits expire, it would be a disaster for working families who are already being squeezed by high prices. Health coverage costs would skyrocket for 20 million Americans, and millions more would lose coverage altogether. We must act before it's too late.

COMMENTARY: Trump wants a bigger budget for the Department of Veteran Affairs, while he continues to dismantle its workforce. All signs point to a massive money funnel from the VA to private health care interests.

As a cystic fibrosis dad, watching the price of the most important CF drugs soar to a list price of $370,000 a year, I have a hard time concluding that the problem is freeloading by other countries. EVERY CF PERSON on the planet deserves access to these life-saving medications.

do I have this right? innocent immigrants are being sent to rot in a slave-labor gulag in El Salvador, because fuck you, that's why, while a convicted child sex trafficker with ties to Dear Leader is being considered for a pardon because she's been "treated so unfairly"? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

It happened this morning. Thanks for checking in though.
I think you misunderstood- I was asking how eversource and co could lower their rates by disregarding underpayments. I don’t really understand how they set rates at a technical level, but it seems unsustainable to just decide not to replace unpaid bills?

NEW: On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away. These are their stories.
I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣 Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡
Our beautiful president has taxed the poor, sent troops to stomp through playgrounds in California, opened up concentration camps, doubled the price of seemingly random goods for no discernible reason, and bombed a foreign country just to do it. And yet these ungrateful peasants are unhappy?
So just to be clear - the “protect the kids” party is now shutting the government down to protect sexual predators? Do we have this right?
After ten years of service, the head of FEMA’s urban search and rescue team has resigned, citing mounting frustration with Trump-era bureaucracy that he says hindered the agency’s response to the deadly flooding in Texas.

“writes chris cillizza”
@dmokreis.bsky.social NH’s default provider rates are going to be cheaper that community power starting in august because they didn’t factor in underpayment. What’s going on with that? I argued for my town to adopt community power with the understanding it would always be equal or cheaper!
When a government designates groups as terrorists when they are clearly not and have never participated in anything remotely resembling terrorism, then the legitimacy of that government has to be seriously questioned. We are reaching an inflection point.
That’s right, fuckface.
Is Market Basket really the cheapest grocery store in the Boston area? The Boston Globe compared prices at four other stores to find out.
