while we're at it, can we primary nate silver?

Okay man.

Call for Schumer’s ouster as senate minority leader or this post means nothing.

Democrats for real fucked up.

i actually cant remember if i've reposted this on bsky specifically, but i am once again thinking of them.

You won't keep fighting, though. You just quit fighting. That's what just happened.

Climbing all the way to the top of Mt. Doom to hand the ring to Sauron.

This list is a good start. We need orgs that will drive primaries for five of these seats, and will strongly back progressive candidate for the five open seats here.

The right cannot stand the concept of a pluralistic society.

Acceptance of your neighbors is tantamount to blasphemy.

ICE Agents Kidnap Nine People Working at Car Wash in Boston ICE carried out its biggest workplace raid in Massachusetts so far, kidnapping nine workers at a car wash in the neighborhood of Allston-Brighton.

"[K]ids inside the car wash watched as their mother was taken away."

"Workers were not allowed to go inside to retrieve their work permits or identification, and [ICE] made no effort to enter the facility to identify anyone they were arresting."

gotta be some ambitious Dems in NV, NH and PA who would be happy to run in a presidential year at the end of a staggeringly unpopular second Trump term

get your campaigns ready, folks

If there was already a law passed in 2019 guaranteeing back pay what exactly did you get?

It is very notable that several Dems are putting out strong statements that effectively backhand members of their caucus

lets assume the deal is as described and the GOP doesn't renege on any of it. that means

we get:
-gov't funded thru 30 jan
-snap thru 30 sep 26
-reverts staffing to 30 sep 25

GOP gets:
-De Facto repeal of Obamacare (the vote on ACA subsidies will fail. there aren't 12 gop to go along with it.)

Primaries for senators

I feel more like this with every passing year.

We need a party that is committed to preserving, protecting & improving life. We don’t need people intent on endlessly negotiating how much humanity we deserve or if we deserve any at all.

We don’t need a society built around manufactured scarcity.

Every senator who votes for this needs to be replaced.

Hear, motherfucking hear. Any Dem that votes for this deal is a Quisling, and nothing but.

Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

“.. During the call, which took place with a Block Club reporter present, the anonymous representative told a group of faith leaders and activists that ‘There is no more prayer in front of building or inside the building ..’”

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Pope Leo literally chose his papal name as a callout on AI disenfranchisement of workers.

Marc Andreesen thinks AI companies should be completely unregulated, do whatever they feel like, and fuck literally everyone else on the planet.

Habemus papem.

"Don't worry, I always keep a second butter knife in my boot."

if the Democrats are willing to accept this deal, in particular, i don't think a single Senator should make it through their primary. this just makes health inequity worse and lets Trump send out checks with his name on them!

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’ Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons.

"ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids"

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

A monochrome (green phosphor) CRT in a plane cockpit, with the text: ACARS-MESSAGE UPS0329 /08 SJU-SDF PART 1 OF 1 PLEASE RETURN TO BLOCK PER UPS MD11 ARE NOT TO DEPART EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY END OF PART 1 * PRINT ACK < RETURN 02.26

does anyone have an MD11 they could loan me for a while? I wanna make an ACARS generator

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?
