funny how extreme inequality is affecting everyday people across nations and how modern democracies support welfare for the rich. go figure.

No time to let up. All gas, no brakes.

Wajahat Ali@wajali.bsky.social

Fascists lose in Brazil, Serbia, and Hungary. Rising protests in Albania, France, and other European countries against billionaires and corruption. Very encouraging...

Weird, isn't it?

Republicans spent years investigating the dick pics found on Hunter Biden's laptop but are refusing to do anything about the treason found on Jared Kushner's phone.

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social

All that time Jeffries and Schumer spent talking about “ultra super deluxe maga republicans” didn’t do anything but waste breath and the bully pulpit. The way to kill maga and conservatism is progress. Always has been.

Was one of my all-time favorite phots of Obama in the past. With the Russian takeover of America of the last decade...it is my absolutely favorite photo of Obama now.

This President!!!

Humans are bursting with emotions. We can use them to motivate them to do good things, not just bad things.

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social

I’m second to none in backing Obama but I’ll never understand how one of the politicians who has provoked the most emotion in American history always goes into a “let’s be logical” mode. No. Let people have their feelings and let it motivate them to action.

This is the ultimate truth of life. This is why you never never never accept injustice/inequality. No matter how hard the odds. Because right is right, and with time and persistence, things CAN and do change for the better.

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social

That was my first real time lesson in the idea that bad things that happen for a long time don’t have to stay that way forever. Positive change is possible and it can happen in the blink of an eye.

As usual, Marisa is right.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

It’s a subject that makes a lot of people uncomfortable and calling them corrupt and evil is easier. But the truth is that Republicans have a rape problem—one that they celebrate.

Sooooooooooo glad to be back from our West Coast road trip. Saw gas below $6 ONCE in the entire state of California. Oregon was comparable to Chicago suburbs. WA state was in between Oregon and California.

Gas prices edge up to $4.30 rounded AAA

I think Nasim hit the nail on the head, perfectly, with this.

Nasim@thenasimiest.bsky.social

the more i think about it the more i feel acton’s mom is the “perfect” symbol of a republican woman. a person who looks the other way at a rapist, who preys on the vulnerable, who would rather let her soul rot than challenge a hierarchical power structure. aren’t they all some version of her?

Save for reference.

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social

BREAKING: U.S. inflation jumped to 3.7% in September, up from 3.4% in August, moving further away from the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Consumer prices rose 0.6% in a single month, while gas prices surged 9.1% A reminder: Inflation was 3.0% when Biden left office. Under Trump, it’s now up to 3.7%

Sounds about white.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

POLITICAL RETRIBUTION Federal agents raided Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s DC home this morning. A sitting member of Congress who has repeatedly been targeted by Trump, now facing a federal investigation over immigration paperwork her father completed when she was a child. A CHILD.

As the mother of a college graduate who is 22 years old...*screaming.

NYC COMPTROLLER LEVINE: “.. One more possible sign that AI is already impacting employment in NYC: .. For the first time in decades, NYers ages 22–27 with a college degree have a higher unemployment rate than those without one.”

This is how we do it.

House+Senate 202-224-3121@cary2.bsky.social

Yelled at an old white guy sitting in his car in the supermarket parking lot, MAGA hat, Trump decal. Said he should be ashamed for what Trump's done to our country, demanded he take down that shameful decal. Left wagging my finger and yelling, Shame, shame, shame! He was too stunned to respond.

Having begun my California phase of life just when this got going, I can attest to how this didn't work out so well for them. Karmic. (Well, this is California-speak.)

The Phantom of the Slopera@johnniedisaster.bsky.social

I have dubbed this The Prop 187 Syndrome, where the GOP wins latino voters over with issues like abortion, "business friendliness", and gender issues, only to be incapable of *not* governing like the xenophobic racists they really are once they come into power. Didn't work out well for them in CA.

I'm not over it either. I was relieved when I was in college, nerd-ing out with my new college friends about our childhoods, and learned that FINALLY they made Snuffy visible...because they realized that was sending the WRONG freaking message to kids being sexually abused.

😈 Leela The Monster 🧛‍♀️@apopularmonster.bsky.social

And then everyone had to fucking apologize to Big Bird because Snuffy was REAL the whole time, and they didn't believe him. Still not over it.

It would be wild if Lindsey Graham’s prophecy about Republicans picking Trump and getting crushed came true in his sister’s senate bid in South Carolina

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Worth watching: South Carolina Dems are starting to roll out ads featuring GOPers endorsing Dem Annie Andrews. On our pod, Jalisa Washington-Price, who runs a PAC, says a $2 million ad buy is set to feature a former GOP lawmaker from a deep red county: newrepublic.com/article/2163...

Read this post but couldn't repost it til today...when the troll farm in Russia got hit by Ukraine, and social media sites are strangely...peaceful and kind.

Twitter/X is just a full right-wing cope mode over the polls this week. Totally data-free discourse flying left and right about non-response among rural voters. It's the wild west over there

I like the way David Harris phrases this😁

David Harris@davidsp72.bsky.social

I love the way this piece was laid out. I’ve been wondering when (and I guess more recently even if) we would reach the point where they had to come out of their sterile environment and interact with people who live on Earth 1.

This whole thread is uplifting.

conifergirl.bsky.social@conifergirl.bsky.social

Researchers who studied it afterward found something surprising: the waiting…the dread…the not-knowing…had been harder on people than the bombs themselves. Read that again. The anticipation was worse than the event.

As a child of the 1970s, the phrase "fuck these coked up Bluesky muppets" fills me with glee and joy.

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social

I noticed that a lot of people didn't catch the sarcasm in this hed or read the piece, which is quite good. so we discussed changing the headline. but then I thought, fuck these coked up Bluesky muppets. let's leave it as is. Anyway, give it look.

Not sure in the least.

Jay Lionel@jaylionel.bsky.social

With RFK Jr in charge of health, a rapist and pedophile in overall charge and a bunch of white supremacists on other senior roles, ARE WE SURE THIS ISNT THE MIDDLE AGES.

Which still leaves 12 million Americans DEAD.

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

We didn’t learn anything from Covid. People are already confidently calling the plague a nothingburger. Sure, we have cipro and doxycycline. The obvious concern here is that this strain was modified to be antibiotic resistant or spread more easily. We simply don’t know yet.

So apparently the pneumonic plague, which is different than the bubonic plague, who knew?, is spread via airborne transmission. Which means now is a really good time to start masking up again.

I agree, in manner of the way Hungary's new government is kicking out all the corrupt Orban people.

Americans must dismantle the Heritage Foundation through the IRS, the courts, and the ballot to end the rolling coup. The communist rope prophecy materialized when the Heritage Foundation published a treason blueprint against the United States under the foundation's masthead. Across 920
