My face seeing these
I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals
good grief blazers spurs
Counterpoint: No.
I kept the copy school admin handed me up on my classroom wall because I knew this shit would happen.
It's on velcro attachments.
We lack the ability to think as pluralists at the national level. Or to understand why it is a good thing.
Engel will fall in the next couple years.
I have to plug this paper by @tannerallread.bsky.social. Masterful piece of legal history that taught me a lot that I didnât know.

The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.
So it won't be Vance.
Is it crazy that one of the main reasons I want AOC to be the nominee is because I don't want to see the Republicans run a younger candidate than us
Or less well known.
I'm voting "Literally What Are You People Even Talking About" 2028
Iâm generally in favor of ridiculing Trump, but the TACO thing bothers me. Heâs threatened genocide in Iran. Heâs called for the execution of members of Congress. We *want* him to chicken out.
yt pipo
Warsh: ha-ha, students are vacuous snowflakes who run to authority to maintain their status
Also Warsh to any question where a factual answer might displease Trump: Sir, that is a great unknowable I could not possibly comment on.
impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community
*DEMOCRATIC REP. CHERFILUS-MCCORMICK SAYS SHE HAS RESIGNED
So hey that's eugenics
Ds losing the senate seems very possible still.
also...like, Ds getting 55 seats seems plausible, at least at the outside?
NC, ME, IA, TX, AK, OH...maybe NE, FL? maybe?
idk. hoping for florida seems pointless. and yet...
Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?
Huh-white Latina?
3 Donald Trump 1986 rank 1 Inherent loathsomeness (1-10) 10 Number of spy issues mentioned in 10 Mitigating factors (1-10): Offered to pay for funeral of child killed by bear; feuded with Ed Koch; completed Wollman Rink; didn't run for office 3 Misdeeds (1-10): Still pushing for the abhorrent Television City; reaped enormous publicity from fuss surrounding child's zoo death, Koch feud and rink reconstruction; didn't promise he'd never run for office . 10 SPY audit (1-5): Made $30 million in four months speculating in Bally Industries stock.. 4 Bonus points (1-10): Played himself on TV miniseries I'll Take Manhattan 8 Score
âWe didnât know what we were voting for.â
SPY magazine ranks Trump as third worst New Yorker of 1987, down from first in 1986.
Loathsomeness score: 10 out of 10.
One reason Americaâs non-fascist elites have been so weak in response to fascism is many adhere to a norm that their peers who are actively advancing the fascist project canât be doing so because they want it, they must be good people with good values who accidentally stumbled into it somehow.
I noted yesterday that we would do well to describe what role the actions Trump is performing, rather than assuming he is functioning as President.
Mostly, Trump is an old man retreating into his lifelong hobbies: construction, cons, and corruption. With lots of golf.
ah yes, personal freedom, that thing that is always present IN THE MILITARY
Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of âsnowflake,â âtrigger warningâ or âsafe spaceâ discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...
Our time is short @SaraGonzalesTX . Mass deportations will correct this, worst of the worst wonât. If Plano, Texas, of all places, has this problem, then you can see how there are 100 million illegal aliens in our country. Commence mass deportations . @nicksortor original post: At a park in Plano, TX with my 5-year-old. We are surrounded by foreigners, speaking multiple foreign languages, making it more difficult for my son to make friends. This is my hometown. Itâs unrecognizable. I want my country back.
trump's former "commander-at-large" of the border patrol greg bovino says mass deportations, not deporting "worst of the worst" will "correct" places like Plano, Texas having a diverse population
I imagine if he wins the senate seat he is running. The stuff he's been saying lately seems like it's geared towards a presidential run if that makes sense
