Needed to hear this; thank you.

The Right doesn't control culture (never has.) This is yet more proof that there are more of us. They hold power now bc of the obscene $ poured into a post-Citizens United world + the racism baked into these systems' foundations (electoral college etc) but there are still more of us + we can win.

The clear voice we need in today’s Alpha Quadrant.

The Gorn have just informed us that they are in a “State of Collapse.” They want us to “Open the Hekaras Corridor,” as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President GUL DUKAT #StarTrek #Sisko197

9. Democrats should take note: running on support for transgender people is not the political liability it was made out to be in the aftermath of 2024. It is, as the data now consistently shows, a position the majority of voters find vastly more palatable than the Republican approach.

Article dives directly into the sometimes-vast cultural stigma differences on assessing & acknowledging possible long-COVID mental impairments, even (usually) temporary ones like brain fog…

As I said when Hegseth got in, the Guard is primarily composed of two types: former active duty who want or need to keep their hands in, and the civilian who wants education money, job training, feels duty, etc. There is a small minority who literally wants to play soldier. That is Hegseth.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

Hegseth told soldiers under his command in Iraq to ignore legal advice about when they were permitted to kill enemy combatants under their rules of engagement. The anecdote is contained in a book Hegseth wrote last year in which he sharply disparaged the Geneva and Hague Conventions.

Soul cleanse… (and the thread)

I was at a comics store in Lancaster PA 40 years ago, looking at the first issue of SCOUT. Guy beside me asks how it looks. Good, I said, & I really like Tim Truman. He smiles, takes the book, and signs it. It was Tim Truman, he lived about ten miles away. Great day.

"Trump doesn't give a fist bump, I grab that hand. I don't give a hell where that hand's been." ‘I start sucking those fingers, one by one, slowly, while I look at yo’ ass. Dead in the eyes, feel me cuz? It’s a freak off when Trump gets up in here’

There are individual exceptions but as an institution the Democratic party just seems like it's on its last legs, or maybe past that point. A party that views its role as a custodial one just isn't cut out for this century

Everything Donald Trump is doing to Americans and in America was pioneered by Dick Cheney on foreigners and abroad. He threw the imperial boomerang

Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

Kimberly Atkins Stohr@kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

4. This utterly mistaken but seemingly widespread belief that Covid-19 has somehow gone away is precisely the inevitable result of declaring the pandemic to be over and tacitly allowing people to take that declaration to mean that SARS-CoV-2 has magically disappeared.

The rain has soaked through everything. Your socks just sprouted a mushroom. You haven't smelled decent BBQ since your last night in Texas, before mustering. Suddenly, a metallic creak echoes through the fog. They were coming again. The naked cyclists. "Just four weeks a year," you mutter.

Trump comments on the opposition: "I  thought [I] would be met with fury on the left, but they're sort of giving up."  "I really thought that we were gonna have to sort of fight it through. There's been no fight."

like, the fact that they felt this spectacle was necessary is itself evidence that they don't have the military support that they want
