the funniest thing about the "we don't trust the media" people is that they will trust literally anyone else. like, if you have an image and text, they'll buy it. shaking keys at babies type logic.

I don’t trust the mainstream media, but I feel like the primary alternate model, getting the news from the posts of a 14 year-old Romanian schizophrenic shitposter named “G00n3R the Swamp Pervert,” is not necessarily a superior alternative.

I do think “every rich person went insane during covid because it was the first time they’ve been inconvenienced in decades” felt a little reductive at first but damn if isn’t more and more compelling as the years drag on

Christ, you're the governor of the entire state. Shut the building down. It's not sovereign territory like a foreign embassy. Pull the certificate of occupancy. Cut the power. Back it up with state police. Stop coddling fascists and groveling every time they order you around. Act like an American.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey said that federal immigration officials were continuing to bar her from entering a detention center in Newark, raising “serious questions about what is happening behind its walls.”

Reporters don't talk enough about how Republicans do not consider Democratic voters to be fully American.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rep. Sheri Biggs on South Carolina: "Right now, we have one congressman that's Democrat. I think a 7 and 0 map would definitely reflect our values. We should have only Americans voting in our elections."

If the U.S. press was honest about Republicans it would upset media ownership which is usually rich white male conservative and you'd upset sources. And event sponsors. And you'd lose some subscriber ad revenue. So it's best to play make believe patty cake.

Please, Mr. President, sir. My weak liberal heart cannot handle you destroying America’s domestic flight infrastructure during the World Cup. I would be so owned.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Trump/DHS threat to divert flights from sanctuary cities is an epic self-own. "Mass flight cancellations, huge disruption at airports, long lines," says @naynagupta.bsky.social, dealing another big blow to GOP in midterms. On the pod, we dig into this whole fiasco: newrepublic.com/article/2110...

Everything has to change. Everything. Do not settle for politicians who want to go back to "normal." "Normal" was the garbage state of existence that allowed all of this evil to take root and thrive. Everything has to change.

Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.

Diversity of thought on the right = You wouldn’t believe how many possible ways you can be racist

Dreamweasel@dreamweasel.bsky.social

“Diversity of thought” is an expression invented by conservatives to imply that rejection of their ideas is a form of bigotry

New York streets belong to New Yorkers, and Soccer Streets are for the kids. We’re turning the block outside your school into a car-free playground and World Cup celebration. Now until June 26, you’ll find Soccer Streets in front of 50 public schools across all five boroughs. Let’s play!

I love it when Republicans say things that just aren’t true in the hopes that someone will believe it

NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Every now and then I remember Tim Walz’s “they’re weird” campaign and how close the dems were to actually shifting the way people perceive the right in a very real way and then they just…stopped

lmao far right content makers are getting almost all of their revenue from rich benefactors and supplement sales, not paid subscribers. It's smoke and mirrors.

Not only is this not happening, the Chinese dominance of EV’s is a terrifying development for US auto manufacturers.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Auto plants are all coming back to our country. They're coming back from different countries where they left us for Germany and Japan and South Korea, Canada, Mexico. And they're all coming back at levels that nobody has ever seen before. Tariffs did it. I did it."

"Meanwhile illegals get free healthcare" except they don't and the whole problem here comes down to a single word, "Republicans." If they don't want to get screwed by health insurance then, like, vote for AOC for President. Until then, Libs of TikTok is getting exactly what they voted for.

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

Kat Abughazaleh@katmabu.bsky.social

This is literally establishing a second special code of law just for Alex Jones so he can do whatever he wants. What the fuck are we doing? How the fuck is this allowed?

Liberalism is an ideology of liberation - from caste, irrational tradition, ancient prejudice, and the eternal tendency of the powerful to abuse the powerless for their enrichment and pleasure. It’s an ideology worth fighting and dying on barricades for, and millions have. Don’t waste their lives

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

I am honestly kind of "whatever" in terms of the amount of solar energy this would generate — it's way more expensive than just putting panels on the ground in an open field — but we should do it precisely because it would make surface parking lots more expensive to build

Koreen Brennan@koreen.bsky.social

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?
