join a local group, I like the DSA & MoveOn call your reps. get your friends calling, too talk to your neighbors, protect each other donate if you can, volunteer if you can, march if you can get looped in on local politics. vote EVERY TIME know your rights, prepare to protect them get sleep

imagine how much they'd still have if they didn't blow half of it during primaries, defending against the left (obligatory mention Axios is an Admin-friendly rag)

hell yeah estrangement discourse my dad blames everyone: my therapist, my mom, my sister, my partner, my politics, my education, ALL doctors, Joe Biden, Gene Roddenberry, sugar-free sodas, wifi radiation.. no, dude. you hurt my niece's feelings and never even learned her name. fuck off FOREVER

absolutely crazy to see a sitting Supreme Court Justice trying out "hey i'm just a little guy"

it’s time to give Ms Rachel a gundam

Gonna do what I always try to do when online discourse gets me feeling absolutely befuddled, gaslit, betrayed, etc time for me to touch grass again, talk to my neighbors, read and listen. love yall. please be careful

just over 50 days until election day and the amount of infighting here is WILD. hey you folks don't think that immoral billionaires and political elites would spend time and money trying to get us to argue amongst ourselves in the lead-up to an undeniably vital election, do you? stay on task please

there's no need to vandalize any of his vanity projects, he doesn't actually know how to build anything. he will ruin it all on his own 👍

getting old means no longer reading comic books in bed, they're too big and flimsy, read a manga volume instead

Quick reminder, politics are supposed to be very boring 98% of the time. This is Not Normal.

-nervously eyes the big button labeled "Come on, folks, what are we doing here?"-

took a lil bsky break due to being in texas and unwilling to verify my ID too bad I don't actually care to return. bsky complying in advance with an unjust law whose implementation is currently paused. weak shit. see yall in a bit ✌️

IDK dude, a bunch of loud/silly vandalism claims, open corruption, basic denial of reality... seems like a distraction. there's definitely a distraction carousel where one atrocity draws attention away from the next, but I don't think the algae is killing anyone. we can probably ignore it for now.

an important clarification 💜

They'll say "I didn't vote for this" and then in less than five months, they're going to vote for it again.

tired of reading "the USA is the only developed nation without universal healthcare" if we don't have universal healthcare, maybe we're NOT a developed nation

Shaka, when the trailer dropped.

Donald Trump is the screwworm president.

oh no! anything but :checks notes: minor property damage! now we've lost the moral high ground! I guess both sides are exactly the same now :(((((((

as a shovel knight superfan, I'm basically vibrating at this point

please just add some black pepper or chopped oregano or lemon zest or...😮‍💨 I know not everyone can use salt, butter, etc, but I am begging the naked rice+meat bowls in my bsky feed to add SOMETHING. seaweed. dijon mustard. garam masala blend. chimichurri? shelled chickpeas? nutritional yeast? PLEASE

i was just saying to folks on my stream that the true measure of a writer who doesn’t actually know anything is that everything they write is about online discourse

why is this particular potus so obsessed with numerology?

Sleep never came.

if it's stupid but it works, people will wait until you leave the room and then talk about how stupid it is behind your back

i'm not a secret shopper, i'm just autistic

the right will cry rivers of crocodile tears about "threats" anytime someone describes basic accountability and it will start well before midterms

swalwell out. platner next. we can win without selling our souls.

why does he keep saying we're hot??? please

I've gone from revering the justice system to only revering the Supreme Court, to only really revering the liberal Justices - over the course of about 20 years. and now? silly to have reverence for any part of this wholly flawed institution, but damn I still can't help but revere Justice Jackson

proposition for a new word signifying "grief that someone is gone, matched with a hopeful, perhaps-misguided relief that they never had a chance to be victimized by newer state atrocities"

the ability to withhold a vote--knowing that you can weather the consequences of the greater evil winning--is itself a privilege.

I hate to tap into the whole "other party stupid" thing, but they really found someone even dumber than Kristi L.A. Noem. That couldn't have been an easy task.

🚨 Upside-down sippy cup!

"war on merit" is so Miller-coded, they're not even trying to hide it at this point imo

accountability across the board after this, INCLUDING the media who are complicit in hiding the resistance there are a lot of us. you're not alone in anger & grief the billionaires who stood behind Trump at inauguration are the same who control access to news/info. don't let them slow our momentum

@5calls.org Sen. John Cornyn's office (R-TX) is just hanging up on callers at this time. I'm trying to remember: who does he work for?
