If he retires it will be between the election and the swearing in of the new congress. they want to keep that seat and alito wants the power as long as he cans i bet

Amazing

@parkermolloy.com call me crazy: wouldn’t it be nice if theres never another Kennedy family member in office?

Why does this country want to be an aristocracy so damn bad?

@radiofreetom.bsky.social good news: 8/10 Gen Xers hate the direction the country is going. Reality: 2/10 show up on election dat

See, my concern, which other leftist seem to ignore, is that whatever is developing now isn't really even capitalism.

Seems like these tech guys and Trump donors want just a handful of them to own everything.

I don't think these guys are actually even capitalists in it's best sense

They are a regulated capitalism market with an expansive social welfare safety net, imno

*not YET

And if nominated, the Dems may very well nominate someone so crappy as to make Cruz or Rubio a viable option to the public

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Part of me says "How can Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio be so naive to think they will ever be president,"

Then things continue to happen and I'm like, ok, this country is totally ridiculous enough to make one of them president.

Scene from Men in Black: top: Alien in drone head says "To prevent war, the galaxy is on Orion's belt" middle: Alien nods off bottom: Alien says "Fuck, I should have said collar. Orion is the cat behind you. That was unnecessarily confusing. Sorry, i'm just so fuckin' high"

Men in Black (1997)

Alien says "I'm totally fine by the way, obviously. That guy stabbed my drone in the neck, nowhere near my actual body. I'm just a lil' high" CinemaSins: 0

His mom was very ignorant so didn’t have any tradition to teach him, i think

If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it.

Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.

Cope harder, as they say

Plainly telling his own staff “I will ignore the Constitution to enact revenge on my imagined enemies” sure seems to me like a valid basis for impeachment proceedings for a life-term judge in the highest court.

And add no more data centers!

“In 2025, 48% of Americans ages 18-29 could not name a single concentration or death camp… Another 53% of surveyed Americans said that they had encountered Holocaust ‘denial or distortion while on social media.’”

Democrats thrown into disarray as US offensive on Iran creates cracks Lawmakers from Sanders to Mark Kelly offer mixed feelings on Trump’s action and killing of Iranian supreme leader

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social Guess who! Its our old buddy! General disarray!

Dems in disarray

It's a choice to invite a craven lickspittle like Stefanik to come on your program and spew lies, even if you push back on them.

@govandybeshear.bsky.social justice be a fucking Republican Andy! I thought you got it but you’re obviously a dipshit that listens to third way advisors who have lost you every election this century

If they worked as hard on gaining voters as they do on losing their base, we’d never have had a GOP president this century

This and the Palantir statement in white supremacy are very much connected.

It's not just that Palantir believes "Western Civilisation" to be inherently superior, though they do.

It's that they're arrogant enough to believe they can order "the West" a la carte, selectively choosing the racist authoritarian bits they like and declaring them the civilisational secret sauce.

maybe those companies that suck at taking care of their employees shouldn't survive?

Maybe, MAYBE the norm should be ethical companies that take care of their employees.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

This is so incoherent that it only makes sense as a billionaires reactionary brain farts. Eg: public employees are not “priests” and are over compensated. Reality: they are underpaid and have been serially abused. Next point, people engaging in public life (read: DOGE, Palantir) deserve our grace.

How is wanting to overthrow the government legal and acceptable for a corporation?

If a Muslim organization did this, they'd have already raided them

Some people would sell their soul to get the CBS news evening anchor spot

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Imagine if this was a Muslim organization that said things like this. They would have had their doors broken down already this AM
