love to pick up my phone and see 5 - 10 different things each of which successively makes me angrier than I’ve ever been in my entire fucking life

Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

this is so unhinged on so many levels

there were hundreds of veterans on the hill today for a joint hearing this morning and some other things going on...Sheehy should probably stay inside tonight

This turns out exactly how everyone except the dummy who decided to do something idiotic and then agree to an interview with Chotiner knows it will turn out

I would just quit after this.

Too bad there aren't any rich people who could run ads with this information on every social media and regular media channel.

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

Imagine serving as a Marine and then being injured at home, on purpose, by a sitting Senator while exercising your constitutionally-protected rights.

One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results.

The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.

Call your senators. Text No War to 30403 to be connected. Urgent Action. The Senate will soon vote on whether to block Trump from waging war in Iran. Tell them to vote YES to block Trump's illegal military actions.

Urgent action: Text NO WAR to 30403.

The Senate is voting today whether to block Trump's illegal military action in Iran. Call your Senator and tell them to vote YES. See script in thread.

Calling AI slop "slop" is locking in with calling right wingers weird. Don't let up off the gas

IMO, any religion that asks you to spy on your kids’ porn habits and them to be alerted to yours is misguided but I’m not starting a war over it.

Hegseth wants the people he sends to fight trump’s war of opportunity to die in anonymity.

This is the exact same Guy you could find 2,000 years ago as a Roman senator gleefully listing the number of Germani slain and sold into slavery, 900 years ago exulting in the sack of Jerusalem, or 100 years ago celebrating 500 yards taken on the Western Front. Timeless chickenhawk scum.

I did not mean you, just the general Bluesky political savants. Texas is a hard to peg state and we are in wild times (we weren’t at war with Iran when early voting happened!) and anyone who claims to know exactly what’s going to happen in November is high on their own supply.

Anyway, what's happening in state legislative primaries in North Carolina rn should have everyone thinking differently about elections this fall -- yes, November is v far away but y'all people are maaaaaaaaaaad at what these MAGA creeps keep getting up to and also at everyone who aids and abets

It's a great night to consider running for office. It's still not too late in some states to get on the ballot for 2026 -- and definitely not too early for 2027 or 2028. runforwhat.net

Cornyn & Paxton have already had the most expensive primary ever - and that was just round 1.

Welp I guess there’s no way to earn the votes of young men other than by courting and vocally backing the three fraudulent industries that are absolutely ruining their lives.
