Robert F. Kennedy Sr. spent his time in government fighting *against* racist bigots who said these exact same things, except their rants were against “Africans”

I don't think anything can be built out of the current GOP.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

Vivek Ramaswamy seeks to take political advantage of the fact that his opponent was raped as a child. But to his credit, unlike many other Republican politicians, he was not personally the rapist in question.

This is brilliant, but does anyone know if it's resonating outside the social media political wonks? Is it getting traction amongst people who don't care about politics? @radiofreetom.bsky.social, I think El-Sayed is performing brilliantly, but are the right people hearing it?

We need a presidency that is equal parts Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

Andy is a walking, talking violation of the Hippocratic Oath

Perhaps, sir, if we bomb a couple girls schools in Oslo, they'll get the fucking message about how goddamn deserving of a peace prize you truly are.

My man looks like he was caught mid-transformation into an Aquaman ketamine addict

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.

Hey @kevinmkruse.bsky.social, I am not a historian, so can you clue me in to how this phenomenal stretch of governing ended for ol' Calvin? Ron DeSantis is an absolute turnip.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

This should just be the start. If you want the House and Senate to gain respectability, then the new Dem leaders should state that Congress will work M-F every week from Jan 27 to pass bills and hold the admin accountable. No recesses. Passing bills in the AM, impeachments in the PM. Day after day

Or the goal is to truly run ObamaCare into the ground. Because anyone with half a brain knows you need healthy people to pay into health care to pay for the smaller percentage of sick people. It's Insurance 101

The Donald J. Trump EPA Superfund Sites These sites are so great, they're so representative of the Trump Brand, that they've been named SuperFund Sites

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Yeah, it's definitely a DEI plot that prize-winning histories are often about minorities. Couldn't be that those works represent the cutting-edge research into fields that *haven't* been mined to death like Great White Men Histories and also have compelling underdog stories people love. Nah. DEI.

My thoughts on the Ed Sheeran/Macklemore/Robert Kraft drama: Everybody is thinking the game is Ed vs Mack when it is, and has always been, Kraft vs all of us. The only was we ever bring the rich to heel is if we band together. The rich know this and work to have us at each other's throats.

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

Moment of silence for @kenwhite.bsky.social's BlueSky account. He and Barro have a running bit on when Jacob will finally get a big boy federal felony indictment

I need younger generations to understand how weird it is that trump is such a unique terrible fuck up that it’s actually correct to blame the president for a demonstrably shittier economy and costs

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

Thoughts and prayers for that coat button

9/11/2001 I was a freshman in high school in Alabama, I wore a hijab. In gym class my teacher wheeled in a screen. Something horrible was happening. I watched, mouth agape as the second tower hit. We were silent. As that period reached an end, my name was announced on the loud speaker. 1/

Oh wait, someone has thought of this before!

Musk is already underwater in polls and if Democrats lean in they can make him even more toxic. He's declared open war on you all and is pushing a toxic, destructive, racist agenda. Maybe it's time to push back? I don't know, I'm just spitballing here.

A lot of people on BlueSky were allowed to watch too much Caillou

The fact is, race has NOTHING to do with this. There is a subset of humans who will hate the "other" because they are simple and weak. There is a subset of humans who realize that skin color means nothing. The continued advancement of our civilization depends on the latter outvoting the former

If she campaigns with Talarico, she gets less air time and becomes diminished If she takes this tack, she gets to be in the press more. Pure narcissism, and she never did care for the people or democracy. Texas dodged a bullet

It's great that we've entered the *blinks twice, shakes head* Slam book phase of the Presidency.

Rich people should learn from the post mortem adoration Dolly Parton is reviewing, how most of it isn’t even about her music, and take notice imo. Rich guys seem legacy success but won’t built a fuckin community center. Curious.

Trey Mancini has announced his retirement after 8 Major League seasons spent with the Orioles, Astros, Cubs and Angels. The 34-year-old Mancini was awarded AL Comeback Player of the Year in 2021 after missing the previous season as he battled colon cancer. He completed his triumphant return to the

John Harbaugh bringing his offensive line prowess to the NY Giants

We are having benefits enrollment at my job. We are switching from UHC to Blue Cross, which is a good thing. But the BCBS rep has the same voice thing that RFK Jr. going on, and it is taking ALL my higher level brain processing to not hold that against her

The anti-kid presidency. Typical psychopathic pedophile: if I can't have them, no one can

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are trans athletes in youth sports.
