Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Liar liar, pants on fire.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

I don’t believe in inherent progress. I think as a species we have backtracked many times. But the speed and scope under Trump still disgusts me

There was plenty of intelligence about the impending attacks, which a Gore administration would not have ignored like the Bush administration did.

It's felt for months now that the fed govt is doing everything it can, including acts of violence, to make the Twin Cities unlivable. Vance's announcement shows that effort continues even if Trump's thugs aren't killing people in the street rn. I just don't see how this can go on for 3 more years.

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

This article calculates the cybertruck has been 17x more likely to burn an occupant to death than a Pinto. That may be unfair. I’d phrase it as “at least 10x more likely.” There were five fatalities, but only three crashes resulting in fatalities. We don’t know average passenger load.

No.

How about voting for the one who has the best chance of winning the general election in November?

Vote Blue No Matter Who is not "any Dem is someone we'd be happy to see in office"

It's "any Dem is someone we'd prefer to see in office if the other option is their Republican opponent"

AI Delusions Are Leading to Domestic Abuse, Harassment, and Stalking ChatGPT and other AI chatbots are reinforcing users' delusions about other people — fueling fixations linked to stalking and other abuses.

NEW: ChatGPT is encouraging stalkers, telling them they share a special bond with their targets -- and to keep harassing them even after they've been asked to stop

My advice is vote Democrat. You’re not going to like all of the candidates and all of their policies but this coalition gives us the best chance to defeat fascism.

Because legally qualified American voters don't want to be harassed and intimidated by masked gunmen as a condition of going to vote. Is that really hard to understand?

Welcome to the Plutocracy

OK everyone who is making fun of Kristi Noem over the blanket thing has OBVIOUSLY never had a toddler who was elevated to a Cabinet position

None of what’s happening is a surprise. When you put a pathologically dishonest, cruel, idiotic, psychopathic, anti-democratic, corrupt, lawless fascist in the White House who’s humanly capable of acting ONLY in his own interests, then bad, un-American shit is gonna happen.

Who needs drunk tweets when you have dementia truths:

THE CREDULOUS PRESS: Fully Clothed Tesla Innovator Does It Again

What women on the left already knew before the files came out is that men can imagine a world of class consciousness (Chomsky), a universe more expansive than ever before known (Hawking), a world where you can live forever (Attia) but not a world where women are fully human.

When you dig deeper around mysteriously successful figures you generally find that rather than being incomprehensibly brilliant masters of the universe, they actually just lied a bunch and committed a bunch of crimes that no one wanted to look too hard at

Listening to the Attorney General of our country sitting as a witness in an Oversight hearing screech, scream and call sitting Representatives “that woman,” and refer to a Representative who is questioning her as “she” is truly a testament to how low Trump has brought all our institutions.

a society losing the plot in real time

There are plenty of "let's trash the Democrats" people on Bluesky. I don't find them helpful in our current dilemma.

I find people like that suspicious and I
mute or block them.

While many of you are likely yelling “GO PATRIOTS” or “GO SEAHAWKS” I’m yelling “GO HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE” and “The rule of law!”

I love these first three sentences.
