I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is something that should be obvious. The South is already the economic & population center of the country and that's only increasing over time. Republicans know how important it is, that's why they're going all in on gerrymandering it. Democrats have to step up now or they'll regret it later

"If these people take over Congress, they're going to use its powers exactly how the Founders intended! Can you imagine that? Congress doing its job?! Heaven forfend!"

Self-aggrandizing halfwits going back at least to Plato have seen people disagree with them, decided that means democracy is a failure, and come to the conclusion that people with good ideas (meaning theirs) should just be given absolute power because they trust themselves to never do anything wrong

this is very funny

What an impressive set of self-congratulatory mental gymnastics. Everyone on bluesky was falling over each other to find the smuggest way to say they've never heard of the song, but as soon as someone points that out then they're secretly Bubba the racist (despite being an NYU grad & NPR contibutor)

Call me crazy but, seven months in, that we're still not reporting, "HOLY SHIT why won't Trump appoint real experts to negotiate with Iran instead of his family and his crypto business partner" is part of why we're here.

I think the most popular song in the country is pretty good and I enjoy it when i hear it

"However, we will also be looking for BAD" is instantly one of his greatest hits. a breathtaking and essential work

Happy 60th birthday to Star Trek. It's too bad it disappeared forever ten years ago and they never made anything after that, but it's probably for the best.

The entire two season King of the Hill revival has been justified just by getting to hear Hank call Jungkook from BTS "Joan Cook from PBS"

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.

yeah man "woke 1" sucked ass. I "woke 1" morning from uneasy dreams to find myself transformed into a giant insect

Everybody's trying to make this a generational divide thing when I think there's a much more logical explanation: redditors are total losers who never got invited to parties

I'm not being funny at all when I say my family did similar things when my great grandfather had dementia.

I can’t really articulate why, but Kevin Smith doing a Marvel/Star Wars crossover feels like Tim Burton directing Alice in Wonderland. It’s like something designed in a lab to make sure nothing interesting happens.

I don't see how anybody can watch this and think this guy'll be president. You need that secret sauce to break out if a crowded primary, and this man if profoundly sauceless. Even when he's saying the right things (by copying them from others) he's still so bored even the audience is barely excited

"It's clear he learned from last time" is one of the few accusations you can't reasonably make about Trump. He doesn't suddenly have more authority, more men, or more loyalty than he did last week, or in 2020 for that matter, to pull off the kind of coup I see people on here keep fretting over

This is a campaign video posted by the Jon Ossoff for Senate in Georgia YouTube account over a year ago. It has garnered only 30,000 views on YouTube. I'm sharing this on BlueSky because I believe it's some of the best Democratic messaging that I've ever seen, and I think it deserves more views.

I have said repeatedly that Russell Vought should be impeached. Congress appropriates and this is a high crime against its powers under Article I. The most important thing DOGE did was take over the appropriations pipes at Treasury. If you wanted to close USAID and CFPB pass a bill.

Finally, a politician who really represents guys like me

this is the kind of merit that pete hegseth has brought to the department of defense

This is what Trump's done to the people's house: A third of it is rubble. Another third is a cage match. What a metaphor.

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

This article is about oranges but it's also not really about oranges, and it did make me cry slate.com/business/202...

very funny that this guy is literally like “tax the rich? that is the n word to me, personally” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/n...

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

To be clear, this is not a problem with "the south," Republicans everywhere hate minorities and would do whatever it takes to keep them from voting. The only reason you don't see this in heavily republican states elsewhere like Utah or the Dakotas is because hardly any non-white people live there

"You can only challenge the racial gerrymander if you preserve the partisan gerrymander that was the reason for the racial gerrymander" is tortured logic befitting Redemption or Jim Crow. The court effectively deemed the VRA and the 15th Amendment unconstitutional while pretending they didn't

most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

Jeffries threatening “maximum warfare” if Florida redistricts

Most incredible possible outcome from a Danhausen curse

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

I fully think Elon believes the "Soros bucks" stuff is true and is just mad that he hasn't been able to do it too. He tried openly bribing voters for that state level judicial election last year and failed, and the one guy he did help get elected by manipulating X's algos threw him aside immediately

Trump foreign policy boils down to causing massive disasters, then inventing some bullshit story and letting guys like Ron Johnson flesh it out on Fox News, and then hoping nothing else happens ever
