God, grant me the courage to change the things I can and incredible new powers to change the things I can't.

Am I an idiot who doesn't know how to use Bluesky? The tending topics are always stupid boring things that have no consequence. I felt like Twitter trending you've were real actions impacting life. Am I an idiot? I mean, I'd prefer an answer specifically about this issue, but...

One of the benefits of being a white, cis, straight, middle class, male, is no one - absolutely NO ONE- gives a FUCK about what I say. And I'm all for that. I can say whatever I want, and even if you see it, you'll immediately forget it. So get ready folks; here it comes: SMOCK.

No. This is very simply Israel realizing that no one stopped them from their genocide in Gaza, and their continued illegal settlements and murders in the West Bank, so they decided to expand and take out other powers in the Middle East, so they can further their illegal settlements and genocide.

my general theory in Trump/Iran is that Trump had the thought, 15 years ago or more, that going into Iran would be broadly popular, has never reevaluated that thought, and is currently shocked about how all this is going, while also possessing none of the skills necessary to stop it

So it turns out Americans don’t love widespread cruelty. 50% of voters have now embraced "Abolish ICE," including a surprising 25% of Republicans. Keep pushing. All gas, no brakes. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

usatoday.comHalf of Americans now say 'Abolish ICE.' It's about time. | OpinionFor the first time ever in YouGov polling, 50% of Americans now strongly or somewhat support abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza, Axios has learned.

It's my birthday. For my birthday, I ask that you send a message to a friend or family member you haven't seen/spoken to in a while (that you want in your life). And/or be extra polite to a stranger today/this weekend. Just some pay it forward stuff. Thank you!

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month. Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE: End the roving patrols and racial profiling. Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police. Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

If you're going to Vote Blue No Matter Who, it probably would behoove you to work with voters who care about specific issues to find a blue candidate that supports those issues. That way, your team wins, and people who care about those issues have their concerns met.

Palestine is not a single issue. If a politician supports the use of overwhelming violence against a civilian population abroad, they’re telling you what they think is acceptable to use against you at home.

"I have a friend who's black" Ok, Trumper. The thug who murdered Good is in an interracial marriage too. Guess he's not a racist piece of shit either, huh? You MAGA sure do have a fetish for controlling minorities.

The "Do Something Now" folks, Free Palestine Movement folks, Dearborn folks, AIPAC is bad folks, Hillary & Kamala were bad choices folks, Bernard should have been POTUS folks, etc., y'all are responsible for all the retaliation coming to us. I've made my peace. Hopefully, y'all make yours soon.
