Time for @chrismurphyct.bsky.social to replace @schumer.senate.gov

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

yes, the age limit for young republicans is 40. these are his peers

If you're a firm conservative and you believe this path doesn't eventually lead to your own speech being censored by the Trump regime, you are sorely mistaken. That day is coming. I promise you. And if you ignore that longterm consequence out of favor for short-term schadenfreude over someone liberal being censored by the government, you need to ask yourself whether you really support the First Amendment. I'm not asking you to support liberal opinions or refrain from boycotts of entertainment you don't like. I may find that position ridiculous, but that's your right. Boycott movies and shows. Boycott businesses. Criticize Kimmel and Colbert and everyone else you don't like. By all means, leverage your capital in the marketplace of ideas. But the moment you support or enable the government to punish people with wrong opinions, it only becomes a matter of time before your own opinion is being punished by the government. I don't give my money to anti-trans people. I don't watch their shows. I don't buy their products. I don't think they deserve my money or my attention. That's my right. But if the government were to directly punish someone for expressing an anti-trans opinion, I would be the first in line to defend them. Even if I believe they're an insufferable clown, I will still defend their First Amendment rights. Either you believe in First Amendment protections, or you don't. Either you believe the government has no business punishing someone's speech, or you don't.

Thomas L. Friedman A Plea for President Trump With a Fragile Country on Edge

I, too, wish that the president of the United States was a completely different person

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

I wish the press were as interested in Trump’s health as they were in Biden’s

So sad to see this news. Jo-Ellen was my neighbor when I lived in Warwick. She and her family were so kind

Girl, no one in the democratic party is talking about this. Stop conflating online progressives with lawmakers

💯💯

This "Democrats and Republicans" line is bullshit.

I wrote a bipartisan bill last year that would have stopped all asylum seekers from being released into the country. It gave POTUS emergency power to shut down the border. It put billions into border security.

Trump killed it.

Big win for the close the hospitals, open the camps caucus today.

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Did you know that the American Revolution really began in Rhode Island?

A year before the Boston Tea Party, we kicked things off with a bang in R.I.

Learn about the Burning of the Gaspee:

This is what happens after a decade + of “well, he was no angel” propaganda after every time an unarmed black man/woman/child is killed by police.

More of this please

GOV. @andybeshearky.bsky.social : “All children are children of God. I didn’t want a legislature picking on those kids. If they show them hate, I’ll show them love.” 🏳️‍🌈

As @GovBillLee signs hate bills (despite having a sister who is married to a woman), next door Beshear leads with love.

🔥 ICYMI — “Your department is out of control. Your agency acts as if laws don’t matter.”

Senator Chris Murphy drags Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem

I made this video about how gov Janet mills stood up to Trump and won. @msnbc.com

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

WATCH — Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social @andybeshearpodcast.bsky.social : “These mass firings are making us less safe… there’s nothing wrong with wanting to fix the federal government, but what we’re seeing now is an attempt to break it.

And that’s in my Kentucky accent.”

On this day in 1999, the town of Springfield was flooded but everything was coming up Milhouse.

Pretty much

You Are Not Special in a Fascist State I promise you that.
