Popular rule is good. Populism is poison that destroys popular rule and replaces it with unshackled tyranny, that torches all that is uplifting and enlightening so its servile subjects will all swim in the muck of cynical, amoral, selfish self-satisfaction and think there is nothing better to life.

This is a pitch perfect response from @aoc.bsky.social -- she mocks their whining, she brings the receipts and then she uses this move as a sign that Democrats are moving to offense now.

Extremely of the view that what you really want, in romance (and also many other things), is to find something you didn't know you were looking for

Virginia is for haters now

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Feels like we’re in a plane that’s spiraling towards the ground, somehow we’ve put a chimpanzee in the pilot seat, and I’m looking at all the other passengers and they’re like “Maybe he’s gonna land it!!” instead of trying to get a real pilot into the cockpit or even assume crash positions.

In my new film THE MINION CANNOT HEAR THE FALCONER, we'll explore the way in which the emergence of 20th century ideologies fractured the once-cohesively evil Minion society into competing fascist and communist blocs that soon come to blows over which form of totalitarianism will shape their future.

The press is intent on whitewashing Republican agency out of everything.

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

low blood sugar comes for us all

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

So the Clean Power Plan was never implemented. Now, want to hear something funny?

The targets in the Clean Power Plan -- for growth in clean energy, for retirements of dirty energy -- were exceeded. Before the deadline. *Without the reg being passed.*

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive-because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Really powerful, hopeful paragraph from the latest article in the Atlantic by @adamserwer.bsky.social

faux liberalism (ezra klein) vs actual liberalism (mill)

DOJ Rapid Response • O @DOJRR47 X.com Yesterday the Department of Justice filed a motion to vacate the convictions of several Americans who had received clemency from President Trump. This ends these years-long, Biden-era weaponized prosecutions. President Trump demanded we stop the two-tiered injustice—and we are delivering. No more rigged system. 1:32 PM • 4/15/26 • 6.7K Views

The individuals referenced here are adjudicated terrorists.

They were found guilty of conspiring to use force against their own government to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.

A conservative, Trump-appointed judge applied terrorism enhancements to their sentences.

J.D. Vance explaining before the throne of Peter that he thought "Just War!" was an imperative.

i feel bad for our country but this is tremendous content

suppose soros did in fact do this: how owned are you that a 200 year-old man with 1/20 of your wealth is running circles around you?

the Soros conspiracy coming from Elon in particular is just embarrassing. you’re worth like 80x what Soros is buddy, if you thought he was buying elections you could snap your fingers and fix it.

Send him to Moscow.

at what point does Vance do one of his millenial crashouts on Twitter about the Pope?

One of the favorite tactics of the Nazis was to ascribe crimes committed by an individual to a group. While the crimes may, in some instances, have been real, that did not make the group guilty of them.

This administration is the most openly racist administration since Wilson invited the KKK to the White House.

This should at least hopefully lead to a really good Knowledge Fight episode

Gov. Pritzker: "I know the Republicans say Democrats aren't patriotic. We're more patriotic. We believe in this country more than they do. They're tearing down the laws. They're operating in an unconstitutional fashion. They elected somebody who is ruining our democracy."

I have seen one good example of this plate
