BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Dolores Huerta, United Farmworkers co-founder and civil rights icon, has died, her family says.

I think one of the more important skills you can have in 2026 is knowing when someone is performatively using progressive coded language to argue for something that is fundementally not progressive because they can claim a perceived moral high ground.

my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

Got to say it's one thing when dems turn on trans people. Its another when they literally laugh at us while doing it.

Democratic congresswoman Kathy Castor of FL-14 becomes the latest anti-transgender Democrat. When asked if she supports "biological males in girls sports," she cheerfully and forcefully says "THE ANSWER IS NO!" with a huge smile on her face, laughing. The number keeps growing.

Hey, just a humble, respectful request. For the love of fucking god, stop fucking attacking Donald Trump with blatant and repulsive homophobia. If you think going after fascists by calling them gay or producing AI slop of them in dresses or making out, you're part of the fucking problem.

In November, Dems will likely win big. Liberals will feel relieved. In 2028, a milquetoast corporate Democrat will win the presidency, spend 4 years maintaining what Trump did as liberals go back to brunch. Then, in 2032, as life keeps getting worse, we’ll get something like President T Carlson.

Robert Reich hopes we’ve learned a lesson from the Trump era: “we have got to take the power back.” #2028 #billionaires

Because "Vote Democrat: At Least We're Not Republicans" was such a winning strategy in 2024? I'm genuinely curious why these people think their political takes have any value whatsover.

So fucking what? On balance Biden was still better than Trump. Gonna say it again: The worst Democrat is still better than the average Republican.

this all happened after democratic wins in 2018 and 2020 it's almost like democrats want every election to be too important to ask them to change and want democracy to always be on the ballot

If the blue wave doesn’t happen then there will be no stopping Trump & the GOP. They will be free to continue with their agenda, probably even worse! It will definitely be game over for America. WE HAVE TO WIN THIS ELECTION! VOTE FOR AMERICA FOR FREEDOM ! Vote Blue 💙

It occurs to me that many of y'all are not angry enough about having to watch CHILDREN EXPLODE for over three years and THEN have the government lie to us about what we're seeing with our own eyeballs. Ima need y'all to get angrier, like, yesterday.

People comfortable with genocide against trans people to protect themselves just a little while longer are not people with enough intelligence to understand counter-arguments. They're fine with being the last ones to the slaughterhouse as long as they get to watch everyone else go first.

Why don't you take your own advice and speak to them? You're much more likely to convince a single candidate than you are half of bluesky's leftists, and it is arguably a better use of your time. If a bunch of you cis guys (it's WILD you think they won't listen to cis men of all things)

blessedhawk70.bsky.social@blessedhawk70.bsky.social

Yeah, meaybe you should. But that's on you. YOU'VE got to persuade them! They're not going to listen to us cis guys. They need to hear directly from YOU. You have to speak for yourselves.

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

Except he didn't fund it, I did, paying a much higher tax rate than the white supremacist. Those thrusters are SpaceX tech for which we—not him—have paid ~$31 billion. I paid for those cold gas thrusters and the software running them, and what I get in exchange is a short video and white supremacy.

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.social

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

It's a waste of effort. Think about it logically. Are you more likely to convince dozens or hundreds of leftists on Bluesky to change their minds by haranguing them? Unlikely, judging by the reactions I see day to day. We're stubborn and tired of being lied to by Dems. Now, if liberals were smart

This post is unavailable.

you'd be going to your elected reps and candidates throwing trans people under the bus, and you'd be SCREAMING at them to change their minds. Something like "Hey numb nuts! If you don't stop this shit all these leftists aren't gonna vote for you and you'll LOSE." You're much more likely to change

the minds of the few dozen Dem reps and candidates who are actively undermining their own campaigns. You're certainly more likely to sway SOME of them more so than the thousands if not millions of voters who are fucking tired of the faux-oppositional party. That's what a smart liberal would do.

Wanna make the United States more equitable? Give every Native Nation two Senators in Congress. There's 575 Federally Recognized Tribes, each with broken treaties. It would add 1,150 seats. If population size doesn't matter for State Senators, then it surely shouldn't matter for us either.

To build a better world we need not all be heroes - but if the courage of Mayor Bagayoko inspires you to strive for similar such heroism, I'll be the last to dissuade you. ✊ Solidarity with the French students & workers. Vive la Commune!

BladeoftheSun@bladeofthes.bsky.social

French Mayor Bally Bagayoko stops the thug riot police from starting another riot by attacking peaceful unarmed protestors. What a hero.

Gotta love how "incremental change" looks like "you have to vote for the genocide of minorities" one year, and the next year it's, "you have to vote for genocide against your own self" this year.

You're racist because you are showing your ignorance when it comes to indigenous health issues. You're attributing the very real health crisis indigenous peoples are experiencing to your perceived lack of their morality (by your standards), instead of the very real issues indigenous people face.

What? How am I a racist? what does racism have to do with eating vegetables? Are you all there?

"While people are without power and food in major disasters, they’ll be online beefing. When families are being swept up into facilities and disappeared, they’ll be online beefing. When authorities are murdering people in the streets, at home or abroad, they’ll be online beefing." Y'all...

Online leftism is a powerful system of self-surveillance that effectively captures & counters righteous anger. People who want to fight fascism have to actually fight it & not be consumed by timeline wars, leftist influencer rage bait & manipulation by outside forces, warns @williamcson.bsky.social.

We were told we they didn't need us. They needed the independents and moderate Republicans. You seem hot and heavy about this topic. Answer the question. Why should we have voted for someone who explicitly told us they didn't want our votes?

Cindy B@cbum22.bsky.social

Oh please. Free Palestine activists campaigned against voting for Harris or anyone and they got Trump. Way to go, y'all. Genius level political strategy.

We were told our votes weren't needed. Explicitly, repeatedly, by the Democrats. So why should we have voted for her? We were told we didn't need to.

Cindy B@cbum22.bsky.social

So you'all didn't vote and let the guy who really supports genocide in instead. Great work
