yes it is.

idc if it’s ageist, no one runs for office over age 60.

hannah a preach!

there are many essays & serious scholarship to be written about online dickheads wrt political discourse & contrarianism & overstatements of “harm” (eg “libs worse than fash”discourse) etc etc. so i understand pushback on scold tactics. tread light territory imo

21 new jerseys (and we take staten island)

if anything observing combative or contrarian posters kept me from being more engaged. I got over it eventually but i missed a lot of opportunity to have good conversations or make connections because it’s exhausting to behold the spectacle of abusive sociopaths in action.

You can leave a comment for the FCC's proposed change to make transgender people of any kind inappropriate for children's media.

Go to this link and let them know you are commenting in regards to MB Docket No. 19-41

A massive public outcry is needed on this.

Jesus they are such obsessive freaks about this!

at that point no response will be illegitimate and i think MN could lead the charge.

joe built like a toddler

mn is the greatest state. after pretti was executed i came to bsky & i saw many brave minnesotans & i felt empowered. i took rapid response training in my state. then i went to ICE court accompaniment training. i wore my st. paul liberation shirt. thank you MN for your lead. true americans!

The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do

patience.

i’m with you. it is a mix of deep sadness and pity to watch people have everything they could ever want and it’s still not enough. haunted, empty souls, no interiority.

i will knock on every door in their district regardless of location

Any Dem who runs on a platform of ending every single government contract with Palantir, then hiring a team of experts to undo the damage these fascist dorks have done to our infrastructure, communications and personnel, not only has my vote, but has my donation checks and volunteer hours as well.

that’s fine, i just want them to have the full and fair say in the matter.

yeah maybe but if there were a better pathway set up for them to choose either way and guarantee some stability for either outcome, then it could be settled. i hope they get to do so!

don’t a lot of people boycott the referendum though? I think independence is more popular than this. idk but they should be allowed to pick.

they should have some representation in congress and voting rights while they all figure out on their own if they want statehood or independence. It’s only fair!

i am also joyfully delirious with dreaming of all the possibilities; abolish ice day one, end most government contracts for prisons and concentration camps (bye geo and corecivic), end surveillance (bye Palantir), etc etc we will have a beautiful high trust civil society very soon

special congress formed for guam, US virgin islands, puerto rico, and northern mariana islands to get representation and voting rights while they sort out if they want statehood or independence 😎

we need both imo we have a lot to talk about amongst ourselves

As fucking infuriating as the chuds in charge of our government are...

its been downright life affirming watching everyday citizens rise up & do things big & small to oppose them. I've never felt more patriotic or more proud than watching people do acts of kindness & bravery.

We're going to win

a handy list you can use to find outlets near you (h/t @laminda.bsky.social )

great list thanks

Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.

i like that you point out in silly ways how we have given far too much deference to rural america.
