@rollingstone.com Your headline should read "Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Packed an Arena...."

I mean one would think this would remain top-of-mind at all times...

Have finally discovered @michaelhobbes.bsky.social's love language and it is diss poetry

Bridgewater, NJ

Bridgewater NJ -- fantastic turnout! This is maybe 2/3 of the people there. #handsoff #indivisible #protest #votesaveamerica @votesaveamerica.crooked.com

Thank you @booker.senate.gov. "The power of the people is greater than the people in power."

I’m not saying everyone needs to do *this*.

But @booker.senate.gov figured out the biggest best thing HE could do right now. And then he did it.

Everyone needs to do *that*.

His answer is horrible but seriously why does anyone ever ask him this question.

I teach critical reading/writing in first-year composition and this is a super common and surprisingly difficult-to-fix mistake. I think it's a problem with separating an "is" explanation from a "should be" argument.

Why is ANYONE asking Trump how he feels about a third term? Can you imagine any former president getting propped up that way? Stop pandering.

This sounds so much like @michaelhobbes.bsky.social that I'm skeptical this is actually a different person

"I'm not watching nonsense" A few weeks ago, as Don T gave his State of the Union address and Vance sat behind him looking like he just swallowed a raw potato, I was on BlueSky, and saw this gem of an exchange:

My newest post. I started it during the SOTU but finished it today when, once again, Trump talked about a 3rd term and media breathlessly reported on it.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…

There would be bipartisan calls for investigations

Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion

Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day

Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

A true worrier. Indeed.

Yes. Thank you.

Oh I think it can be very persuasive. As someone who teaches writing, I think his point is that persuasion absent evidence is manipulation, not argumentation. I took his point to be that an argument can be compelling and also BS at the same time.

Trumps comment simply drives home his alienness. Standing against his degeneracy is standing with America. We don’t have masters. We don’t bow to tyrants. Americas civic tradition is complex, democratic, libertarian, raucous, conflicted. It abhors tyrants.

From the radical leftists at Good Morning America:

Yes! Should be applied to other issues as well. Good-faith efforts of all kinds are too often getting blamed for the very existence of bad-faith liars and cons.

If you want to know why Trump is able to rule like an autocrat, compare the Washington Post' coverage of the Saturday Night Massacre with Trump doing exactly the same thing

"They're breaking the government so they can steal from it. I want the government to protect taxpayers and consumers instead" is neither a hard, nor complex, message.

It's totally fine not to be talking about the price of eggs right now.

The SAVE Act Could Stop Millions of Women From Voting. Here’s What You Need to Know The bill would make it harder for women, people of color, young voters, and other marginalized groups to register to vote.

Oh good, piping hot fresh hell, right out of the oven.

Imagine that.

He doesn't know what either of those words mean.

YES!

SAME!

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in
