Summer is over.
Richies fund politicians who pass legislation that benefits richies, making them billions. We pay for all of it in every way imaginable. None of these people actually create anything other than bills for us. It’s a shell game, and we’re the suckers, even though we don’t get to play.
I want to be proud to be an American again. I am willing to do what's necessary. I will do the work. We will be more effective if we are legion. The outcome is inexorable. The process is painful.
i'm wary of Gavin too, for good reason. but he's fighting, and we don't need a talker rn, we need a fucking fighter. we need a nation of fighters to punch down these whack-a-mole idiots and restore our national dignity.
Oregonians: I need your help. I'm collecting stories about how Trump and Republicans' efforts to raise the costs of prescription drugs will impact patients, specifically anyone taking the cancer drug Keytruda.
bc they're just a club (several clubs with different cultures) that's more paranoid than most and have convinced some paranoid pols to fund them and hide their activities
come on, liberal folks. let's stay on message like the lizards do: Everything all day every day is about the Epstein files.
the epstein files are just a distraction. from the epstein files.
the only news you need to know right now is epstein
prison sex was about the EPSTEIN FILES according to maynard 😘
the three letter guys are big mad abt this lmao youtu.be/fu6bYPTp_kE?...
tool did a whole epstein concert abt the epstein/trump files and how we shouldn't shelter epstein apologists and collaborators youtu.be/c6kUt0KShTU?...
how much more shitty does it have to get before we all admit it's broken and needs to be fixed? youtu.be/LH0-WXUFY2k?...
Good things happen when people show up.
this is our guy
what should be alarming to everyone is that it couldn't 'grok' the sarcasm

more of this. it works. it's a mirror.
if 'turning gay' were a thing, this closet might do it
i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat
i know everyone's feeling overwhelmed rn, but this is the best time to take a breath and read this eternal jewel by thomas de zengotita www.csub.edu/~mault/The%2...
"That is why I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it." Yes, there is a difference.
if it's not you, it's a super weird post
gray hair is sexy
is that you?
bluesky is the social media equivalent of loving The Cramps but then hating them when nine other people like them 😂
people on this platform really really hate gavin newsom which is the best indicator of who's gonna be president in 28 lmao
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!

i don't think it's funny. elections have consequences.
the parties are dead (good riddance). candidates either win or don't, and either perform or don't.
if you don't understand that elections are won by hundredths of a percent (thousands of votes) in the center, we're not speaking the same language
i'm in no danger of becoming a republican, but we (on the left) really need to create a bigger tent and stop stepping on rakes
largely bc of bubble bullshit
trump won the center
huh. and i thought all elections from the beginning of time to the end of time were a battle for the center. interesting.
oh ffs
ok, maybe not weird, but it shows contempt for the majority of people in a normal distribution. not a flex.
it's not 'whatever', it's who's winning. but whatever
being anti-centrist is a weird take
and it's not Begich
one's doing it better
seriously, fuck this guy
they're both trying to appeal to the greatest number of people (marketing); one's doing it better
and over 4 decades of incremental wage theft, we end up with a completely different society than we could have had (can have)
many of the people you condescend to will try to protect you, because they feel they *ought to*. maybe we should connect with them now, while the situation is less fraught.
Quid agere debeam?
what will you do
what's centrist about either of these statements which are just marketing blurbs?
also: fuck you 'tim apple' for legitimizing fascism
we watch everything on plex anyway bc the interface is so much better. we pay sub fees as a courtesy. what we're watching comes from usenet.
we all have to say no. by cancelling, not buying. we're at the point where they're turning us upside down and shaking the change out of our pockets. a 30% increase is not even remotely defensible.
i love that some people got this 😁
i'm lol-ing sporadically
fascists take your guns and your bank accounts
point re the rest is that there's some common ground if the fight truly become fascism or not
oof, i'd keep Palin out of that list. i know her, and she's as vacuous as you'd imagine. the rest -- i don't think they're on board w/full on fascism bc they're libertarians (including the koch bros who astroturfed the tea party out of thin air)
it's not just this betrayal. when the 'libertarians' find out that fascism will come for them, too, there's gonna be a whole lot of squealing and screeching. i don't know who convinced these guys to trust them, but whoever it was did a brilliant job.
good gauge of the fact that we're frogs in a pot, not realizing how much we're incrementally losing every day: this was 1984. prescient. the guys with a lot of money were really pissed off abt the democratic process, and they've spent decades and $$$$ retaliating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbVM...
lev parnas is a resistance grifter. that doesn't necessarily mean he's wrong, but it should color every assertion he offers.

Thank you for your service, sir. And for knowing when to pass the torch. www.cbsnews.com/news/democra...
more of this, please of both Nadler's example and reactions like yours
Mainers run *toward* adversity when everyone else is running away. ✊
unions are more critical now and going forward than ever before like it or not, we're all in a natural union anyway (unless you happen to own one of the nine tech companies that seek to own us all).
everything wants to be on the ground
@schumer.senate.gov this guy's making a lot of sense.
tiktok is not a news source
fuck all the way off
no lies detected 😂
read this short thread, then *beg* Al Franken to come back and serve for six years

get in the ring, dean. we need fighters.

🙇😍
i'm not convinced it's that organized (these guys are *really dumb*), but that definitely seems to be the guiding principle/id-driven impulse
this is how you gracefully exit, and how you leave a legacy of service and positivity vs a legacy of selfish power mongering bsky.app/profile/zohr...
we need to make noise when 'our' pols do this so the others can see the graceful exit. laud these folks until you run out of breath. the carrot is much more honorable (and graceful) than the stick.
just don't normalize it
take the gloves off
there haven't been meaningful responses to Russian covert operations since the polonium-210 poisoning
yep, a (very) dark view is that the future needs far fewer humans
it's a hockey term, sis 😁🏒
already are, now that folks are becoming aware
we should exhaust every possible peaceful resolution, but when you've been robbed repeatedly by bad faith actors who've managed to capture the legal political framework within which disputes are resolved, there're few effective choices that don't involve a willingness to resort to physical violence.
the closest thing we have to socialized resources is utilities (w/e/g) and that we've enabled them to be so completely captured by private capital doesn't bode well for the coming AI bullshit. and so far it's the same structure: we all pay the costs, they profit. youtu.be/YN6BEUA4jNU?... violence
$100 says he was drunk driving
more good news
I stay out of these 'discussions' on text-limited platforms like this because they're not proper discussions and some topics (most?) require proper discussion with all nuance and (importantly) knowledge of how the participants have conducted their lives (trust, grace).
