The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.

These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

Space emperor vibes off the charts (think its the half-on jacket looking like a cape thats doing it)

In order to reduce Chinese influence the next Democratic president should give Iran the Iron Dome for free.

These purely defensive weapons are actually deescalatory and it is bigoted to oppose the transfer of them. Do you want more Iranian civilians to die? Do you think more Iranian civilians dying will lead to Iran being less aggressive? Opposing this actually hurts Israelis.

YOU: "this clearly shows that the democrats have massively overblown the importance of political commentators"

ME: "...we could put every politics streamer to the sword and 8 out of every 10 americans wouldn't notice at all, and the other 2 would just post about it. A Better World Is Possible"

counterpoint: Israel wants more Israelis dead because they keep starting wars with their neighbors

wouldn’t it be easier for them to take these positions if they don’t have to worry about a bunch of hitlerite GOP voters unseating them because of some bullshit they saw on Fox News

is your argument really just “anyone not doing the exact thing I’m doing is the problem”

this isn’t “blowing up democracy” Jesus Christ lol

as opposed to the “fake” work of organizing and winning this referendum?

“we should fight for change”
> the voters of Virginia fight for change
“no not like that”

then I don’t want whatever you think a “free democracy” is, I want a democracy that’s a boot stamping on fascists’ faces forever

Probably the most memorable bsky post to me

The whining from the worst Republican you know will be quite delicious

Maybe just maybe if the international community developed half an iota of spine and imposed the basic kind of consequences onto Israel then this level of impunity would not have developed and perhaps then those concerned about antisemitism wouldn't have to contend with these daily images.

in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016

wonder if something happened then?

APRIL 2026
KHAMENEI IS MASTER OF THE STRAIT
ONLY EUROPEAN CRUISE LINES STAND BEFORE HIM
ROYAL CARIBBEAN ARE NOW BLOCKADE RUNNERS

DR. ROBBY: I am going to kill myself tonight.

ME: (doing a full spread eagle split on the hospital bed while he yanks thousands of yards of tinsel out of my dick) Because of this?

DR. ROBBY: No. Not because of this.

DR. ROBBY: (quietly) But it doesn't help.

I'm excited to share I will be playing a patient on The Pitt for season three. It takes place on Boxing Day (US, not observed) and I have an endless piece of tinsel they pull out of my urethra like a magician's scarf. It is unsimulated full frontal nudity and I am still waiting on my $75 check.

this might bit controversial but if you don’t know what to get from Starbucks you can just…not go to Starbucks

We're reaching levels of personal life micromanagement never before imagined.

The price of beef is massively subsidized, not least by the fact that the cost to graze cattle on public land has not changed since the 1960s.

$1.35 per cow-calf pair per month - 30 to 50 times less than market value.

If you really want to stop corporate welfare, beef prices are gonna go up.

"What do I worry about? I think everyone who's a supporter of this relationship needs to be wary of the manner in which sometimes it's not going to be about - Israel is going to be about congressional versus legislative tussling, but Israel is going to be caught in the crosshairs. And I'm worried about that with these executive holds," Stroul proclaimed. I'm worried about it with things like the [Bernie] Sanders joint resolutions of disapproval, even if he doesn't force a vote this time, we're not getting through four years without him forcing a vote. And it is not good for Israel and for this relationship to make members constantly have to vote on it, even if they pass. That's not the point. The point is to not have to debate every time."

For those who are skeptical as to why these votes in the Senate matter, it's important to remember that AIPAC, DMFI, and WINEP people hate them and hate when the senators are forced to take a public position, because Israel is politically toxic. They want low salience because that benefits them.

muh nonpartisan judicial branch!!

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:

it just lifts my heart to feel heard. thanks, ICE lawyer. 💜

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason?

just a wild country

like honestly this just comes off as you trying to pit college students against “real Americans” Fox News style and it’s not a productive grudge to entertain at all
