So, let me see if I understand this… when it’s a dem in office we restrict their abilities but when it’s some maga dude with a long history of misogyny, racism, abuse, corruption and megalomania we give them a crown and say, “have at it good sir!”
Palantir’s PR team after releasing their statement
Time for Mamdani and Obama to go to a baseball game with the Pope. Let’s just blow this whole thing wide open.
I thought we’d have flying cars by now. Instead what we got is a pack of drug-addled personality disorders trying to drag us into their dystopian nightmare.
They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said, "No, no, no"

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

People are like don’t mix your metaphors. Babe, I’m collaging my words. This is art.
It’s always the guys saying everyone is corrupt who are doing all the corruption.
Are you in MD? I just heard the white throated sparrow’s song for the first time and was blown away! I feel like there’s more birds here than before. But I also just learned it’s migration season for so many of these song birds so I’m likely just noticing them for the 1st time. 🎶🎵
I want to remind everyone that the president posted a picture of himself as Jesus and, when enough people complained, deleted it, saying he thought it was a picture of him as a doctor.
By his own account, the best case scenario is that he's so far gone he doesn't know what a doctor is anymore
Squidward window meme.
Watching the Hungarian election results while living in the US.
Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.
Another shout out to Victor Glover as Artemis II's pilot. While coming back in for their re-entry, NASA mentioned repeatedly how clean and perfect their trajectory was.
Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .
Dave didn’t pull punches. If I were reading tea leaves I’d say finally FINALLY this dude’s cooked.
This is going to be a get your tickets in advance situation.
I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...
I believe somebody said the key to manipulating Trump is understanding he must be seen as getting something even if that something isn’t real… who said that? Jeffrey somebody?
Anyway, we have ample research on how living under a state of sustained terror and stress causes life-long health problems as well as intergenerational epigenetic effects. This feels like it's making you sick because it actually is making you sick.
You understand this by visiting Monticello. All that land to work and yet Jefferson had enough “spare time” time to write about and create a world he was at the center of where it was totally acceptable for him to rape women & “own” humans forced to do his bidding. It was his “inalienable right”
some people you can recruit, other people you have to simply defeat. politics makes more sense when you accept this
When America transforms neighbors into adversaries, the shame many citizens feel isn't unpatriotic it's the clearest expression of genuine patriotism. Those most trapped by their country's actions often love most deeply what it could be, while grieving what it has become.
All of this because we didn’t throw Trump in prison for trying to overthrow an election.
Oh my god this is beautiful. You can see the airglow on the right picture!
Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.
1. Throughout history, leaders have committed acts of civil disobedience to challenge unjust laws.
Add Samantha Boucher to that list.
Boucher walked into the Kansas Statehouse bathroom in front of police, deliberately violating one of the most extreme anti-trans law in the country.
Only the NYT, in a country with a population of over 330million, could base such a garbage story on those going to a church attended by 100 people.
There are more people in the US who believe they are Jedis than listen to that freak pastor every week
