I Nied braaaaiiiiins 🧟

I feel like a huge problem on this app is an inability to engage with who the base of the Democratic party actually is & how they came about being it.

It's been mooted before, but I think we need to be more prepared for having two Democratic Senators from Alaska next year.

It's going to be very funny to watch people come to the realization that the most likely way that Hakeem Jeffries is not the Speaker of the House over the next two years is if he's ascended to the Presidency to serve out the remainder of Trump's term.

Essentially every corner of the Democratic Party except for mainstream liberals started smoking meth after Harris lost and believed the only way to win after this was to nominate and appeal to their fellow ideological tweakers. Liberals just kept doing the work though. And we're seeing the results.

Casual reminder that these are the exact same people who endorsed Kat Abughazaleh in her primary because she's perfect if you believe the American Dream is dead.

Interesting that MAGA slightly approves of the Ramaswamy ad *even when given the full context*.

I feel like people are overthinking this. No one was secretly trying to sabotage anyone, Cenk is just a straight-up Nazi and thinks voters will go nuts for Nazism so he puts it in ads for candidates he wants to win because he thinks it will help them, that is all there is to it.

Obama’s Cheesecake Factory decor joke is going to continue to get far more play in the media, days after it happened, than RFK Jr being openly racist. Draw your own conclusions about the press based on that.

Yes the Cenk Uygur ad is antisemitic, yes it is transphobic, but it’s the *interaction effect* between the antisemitism and the transphobia that causes it to give off so many Hitler particles

Looks like we need to switch to "No, it's only the national DSA that's crazy, the local orgs are pretty good!" we'd been stuck on "No, it's only the local orgs that are crazy, the national DSA is pretty good!" for a minute there.

Dawg we are talking about 1966, no American white working man was suddenly getting left high and dry by deindustrialization or austerity or recession The only “radical shift in the material conditions” was “you have to let black people into your school/office/shop/apartment block now”

If you opt in to the Beta Features in settings, Bsky has a new notification system that they're testing right now & it's honestly rad as hell.

RFK is of course correct, it has been *checks notes* an entire year since an Arab has won a Nobel Prize

It's a real problem that so many people anywhere left of center in this country think that the path to victory for them lies in electing Republicans until Democrats do exactly what they tell them to.

You have to remember that these people spent the last week of the '24 election talking about a rabid squirrel that died, & they think that's how they won.

RIP Walter❤️

People that ignore this tend to be the people that ignored Hillary’s warnings about the Supreme Court in 2016

I think you can make the case that Eileen Canon is single-handedly responsible for Trump staying out of Federal prison in the docs case.

Literally doing this post unironically.

Wallahi I will make this fukken website know what happened in this country between 1966 and 1972, I have tolerated “the Dems just sold out for no reason one day and all became Big Money Uniparty Reaganites because they hate the pure and noble workers” for too long

The “something” in question was the workers themselves deciding by 1966 that they no longer wanted New Dealer welfare capitalism if it meant black Americans would benefit from it while anti-war protesters were free to burn the flag

The Hard Hat Riot is the single most important and consequential independently organized labor action in post-Gilded Age American history but the entire left-of-center has deliberately chosen to completely forget it because of how utterly embarrassing it is to us

a weird set of people who only exist online are people who celebrate the defeat of global fascism in every other country and are then horrified and appalled at the idea that they should also be expected to vote for their domestic opponent of global fascism if some of their stances are Problematic

The thing that gets me is how wooden the "acting" is.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
