@davidjroth.bsky.social the county Republican party (in Ohio) is in the same building that I work in, and I taped up part of your column to their door today, because you express your disgust much more civilly and coherently than I do, much thanks.

It's not that they're all attracted to kids, it's that it's ideologically important to them that children and women are the property of men.

we gotta bring back shame, man society doesn’t work real well without consequences for being an enormous piece of shit in public

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Watching Katie Zacharia repeat the Trump Admin’s blatant lies without the usual shameless confidence we’re used to is jarring. Shows you how much of this administration’s unreality is being upheld by pure dishonest bravado. The lies fall even flatter without it.

I fail to understand why this idea is considered radical.

This is a significant worsening of our current state of constitutional collapse. I know it feels like there are so many, and there are, but in terms of crossing the Rubicon moments this one's up there.

Pretty sure he's told us that we don't need to import energy anymore.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

when your country's new accord on “super intelligence” misspells the country's name

Send Stephen Miller to The Hague.

It is so good to see @reportermatt.bsky.social, who was in like 80% of my classes in college, become the most influential reporter in Massachusetts. He just loves the place, and you can tell in everything he does. A truly wonderful man making the whole state better.

the strait of hormuz is going to remain closed at least through the midterms if not the rest of his term. shouldnt have elected a dip shit sex criminal with dementia who makes policy decisions to impress jesse watters. oh well

Himes to Bessent: "I can think of no administration in the last 50 years that is quite as communist as the Trump administration. Constant interventions in the operations of the free market."

The Venn diagram of men who think that’s “hilarious” and also pearl clutch about protecting women’s sports is a perfect circle.

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

The entire right wing has been furious that the mayor of New York City had the nerve to be Muslim on 9/11, while their president is out here bragging about what a terrific relationship he has with the Saudi royal family.

Perspective.

just saw a young person doing something different from the way i do it. does anyone have a favorite way of projecting that behavior onto tens of millions of other people their age

Is that...is that supposed to be an argument against healthcare

One thing to keep in mind: all these corporations know how to keep food safe. They know how to comply with FDA safety standards (when FDA was a functioning agency). Without effective oversight, corporations will always save a few $ even at the risk to their customers.

Look, are we the laughing stock of the world? Yes. Are we losing a war we should’ve never started? Yes. Is all our food poison now? Yes. Are all the jobs going away? Yes. But the important thing is a blue-haired college student I made up in my head feels bad about memes.

Students are often portrayed as antagonists/perpetrators in AI cheating stories, and surely some of them are—I won't entirely dismiss their capacity to make choices. But students are also the main victims. The real villains are not living in dorms or going into debt to learn nothing.

It's crazy that Republicans are suddenly losing against the platform below after campaigning on: - death penalty for abortion - no vaccines - burn books - Bible-based math in school - a data center in your town - surveillance cameras - tariffs to raise grocery prices - wars to raise gas prices

Hey look it's the libertarian currency that's entirely dependent on government action to gain value

Trump: "Every time I hear our country is doing well, I say, that's too bad."

We should consider developing a standing body of government officials who are trained in diplomacy and can be sent around the world to negotiate the interests of the USA, so the president doesn't have to send his grifting son-in-law, who doesn't have any skills or training or government clearances.

Epstein’s best friend says what?

What happened and "changed our children?" The reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in 1990s that and included autism as a covered disabilities. Schools had to report how many autistic students they served. Who was a cosponsor of that bill? RFK Jr.'s uncle Ted Kennedy.

Important: Trump’s executive order is NOT legislation. Though the executive order promotes more misinformation about vaccines, nothing has changed about the availability of childhood vaccines. For evidence-based guidance, please follow and share American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.

To make my point clear: Abusing more than a thousand girls and women is something Republicans want to cover up, while mask guidance from the fog of the worst or the worst pandemic of the century is a crime they will pursue to the grave.

Pretty darn remarkable that the teachings of Jesus Christ, in your reading of course, turn out to perfectly overlap with your ethnonationalist political program. Why it’s God’s providential hand!

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

This is why they’re going after Dr Fauci: he impeded grifters

The right's whole shtick was that Obama and Biden were puppets who just read what was put in front of them by their staff, but he's Trump just admitting it. No big deal.

German broadcast. Nailed it

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber
