I'm sorry, but this is obfuscation. The reality is simple.
Trump and his adherents are fascist white supremacists aiming to destroy every good thing in America.
If you look at a choice between them and a Democrat - any Democrat - and go "eh, not left enough, I'll pass" you are a child and a fool.
Listening to the latest optimist economy with @kedseconomist.com and its not looking good so far. Came in with an open mind but woof
"They came in here like an occupying army. That’s what it feels like and that’s how they’re conducting themselves. No one in Minneapolis believes for a second the pretense that this is about fraud or immigration enforcement or whatever. It’s absurd." — @whstancil.bsky.social
OP is dismissing more than CBS.
"News outlet is propaganda, they won't report the full story!" -> not giving them the tools they need to report the full story -> they don't report the full story -> back to the top
I think they'd show the video they are specifically requesting permission to show
One of the things that's both amusing and annoying is that you'll have people claiming that major outlets of news aren't reporting something or are propaganda for the regime, and then also they won't give video evidence that pretty clearly shows the regime is bad to those outlets for them to report
Remember I DO want to see your Spotify wrapped. Post it. Send it to me
Shoutout @cnbecker14.bsky.social and Megan
Didn’t mom tell us not to copy other people’s homework?
Glad to hear it! I was worried it fizzled out
@cnbecker14.bsky.social hey man was the podcast with Megan ever coming back? Miss listening
@jonbois.bsky.social your recent video has me looking for baseball diamonds as I fly and saw 41 on my flight today and just think you would like this one I saw near Santa rosa. Its very interesting, I like the combo with the other field
I'm on the internet for politics not video games and cats smh I follow journalists and writers and politicians
Insane to me that Allred moderated on trans issues, outperformed Harris by 4, and people are saying he shouldn't even CONSIDER running in 26 against cornyn/paxton. He ran the more moderate playbook and saw results! Imagine a blue year and a more refined and aggressive campaign against Paxton!
I hate so much that this site really does seem like the left wing circular firing squad. Just exhausting to scroll through quite often now
Ask not what your country can build for you, ask what you can build for your country
@cnbecker14.bsky.social this sounds really similar to stuff from "reject Modernity Embrace Tradition"
How is this prediction going so far?
Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them.
We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.
Its time for Schumer to resign
@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.
I got recommended V Birchwood this week and I like the content, but maybe I'm just Not Like The Other Boys
A republic, if you can keep it
The problem is never the reality, it's the perception. Ultimately you could say that Harris lost because of the media environment, but that media environment convinced the voters to only care about economic issues and excuse all of Trump's behavior
Sam Seder is right btw; unless you're a billionaire, religious fundamentalist, or a xenophobic nationalist voting for Trump was a mistake
the reason why it is important to say that the illegal actions taken by this lawless administration are, in fact, illegal is because
1) it's true
2) it sets the narrative for setting things right
just so everyone's aware there is absolutely zero legal authority for the State Department to revoke a green card
that's not a real thing that exists, they're just trying to disappear someone they don't like and hope nobody cares enough to stop them
I don't care what the protesters are saying, this is the United States of America. The first amendment is first for a reason. Disgraceful
