A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

I will donate to candidates who promise to send everyone responsible, including Donald J Trump, to the Hague

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

I used to think there was only one really genuinely good dead college coach, Dean Smith, but now that Lou Holtz is gone, there is still only one genuinely good dead college coach

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

How to win in November

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor”—Tupac

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

YUP. MAD.

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."

She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

Context:

Makes me so happy to see these shitty NC "democrats" actually face consequences for their actions. Reap what you sow! 👏👏👏👏👏

RUN IT UP

Hell yeah 😍

NOT JUST THIS:

Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.

This could be a major night in NC.

North Carolina! You can do this!

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

trickle down economics is bull shit and if you believe it then you are stupid. great replacement is bull shit and if you believe it then you are racist. vaccines are safe and effective and if you believe otherwise you should be shunned from society

There are so many things I am saying offline about the Clinton testimony. What I will say publicly is that the republicans spent too many years solidifying idea that Bill likes fat ugly broads (ie adults) to tie him to Epstein. And, even having lost a step, they forget who they are dealing with

They are all failed celebrities who think the job is being a celebrity, exemplified by kash patel who thinks his job is having government jets fly him and his girlfriend from one event to another bsky.app/profile/jkar...

Rotting like a fetid corpse

Let's go!

Hegseth is a violent psychopath who sought his position because it offered a semi-legal way to kill lots of people.

He fetishizes violence and death.

This is the mindset of a serial killer, not a warrior, and when you start to think of him that way, he makes more sense.

"that's the way it is" is trump at his finest. i love those moments where you can see he understands he needs to strike a solemn and somber tone. you can see him reach around in the bag but since he is both incredibly dumb and also doesnt give a shit, he just dredges up random words

Bill Link told me about touring colleges with his brother and their dad, historian Arthur Link, a UNC alum

As they drove away from visiting UNC, Bill's brother asked if they could tour Duke too.

"My father's fingers tightened on the steering wheel as he grimly said: NO SON OF MINE WILL GO TO DUKE"

Duke. Always and forever Duke. If you grew up on SportsCenter in the pre-internet days, you were either on the side of the Evil Empire or you weren't. And college hoops cleared college football in terms of popularity at the time. Laettner was Country Club Darth Vader

As a Tar Heel, this receives my full-throated endorsement 🤝 #FuckDuke always and forever.

A great constitutional amendment would be the following: upon commencing a war* the President, VP, and entire cabinet must immediately resign due to failing at their jobs.

War should be regarded as a dire last resort that always comes with consequences.

*including “military actions”

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

Lol @markwarner.bsky.social got more than a few boos when they showed him on the big screen at the VCU game

Remove the president or remove yourself.
