dying while in office not enough. prison is what his heinous crimes warrant. the nation will need a tribunal to hold him and his maga GOP accountable for contempt of democracy, for undermining the constitution they swore to uphold. and, at long last, the #epstein survivors will deserve justice.

I hope bluesky doesn't die because you all seem very smart and I enjoy reading your posts even though I don't p04st often myself. maybe bring 13375P34K back?

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank

i only log on to the ETHICAL portion of the internet… you know, the part where all my data and usage goes through servers and processing that are MORAL and GOOD and definitely are not influenced and impacted by capitalism

and invent about other good things too! 52 for the red, white, and blue!

Real idea: As part of the effort to get DC and PR statehood, next Dem president should invent about State Weeks. Each of the 52 states gets its own celebration week every year. A random July week is Montana week. Tourism bonanzas. Televised lottery every year for week placement. We ain't above this.

What a fantastic answer, a total counter strike.

KARL: There's a constitutional requirement that you have to be a natural-born citizen to run for president. You were not born here. Do you think that's something that should be changed? MAMDANI: No. I think the Constitution looks good just the way it is.

Staying on Twitter is not bad because it enriches Musk (he loses money on the site) or because it tacitly endorses his ownership (who cares) but because IT IS A BRAINWASHING MACHINE. You are not immune. More importantly your presence there encourages others to stay there due to network effects.

an absurd masterpiece. no human artist could have come up with this

There are so many no-good, terribly bad, wrong, AI-generated anatomical diagrams out there. Here's one I found on the website of an actual clinic in Minnesota. Yikes. Be careful out there.

being a parent is watching Lion King and realizing Timon and Pumbaa are just as problematic as Scar

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Exactly, we're nice people with brains and backbones. Bullies hate us.

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

Holy shit a good thing

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

what really sucks is I can't just computer my way out of this like usual. I need to learn to fly planes and shoot guns.

this is infuriating and correct

a few thousand men with guns cannot defeat a state of six million united. they can only defeat us if we first defeat ourselves. that's why staying peaceful, not shooting back, and not rioting are so important. calling for violence is wrecker shit
