Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

This Is Not Conservatism It’s Fascism

🧵🔥🚨This Is NOT Conservatism:
It’s Fascism

I didn’t want to be in DC on election night. I was sick to my stomach. But I went anyway, because if Trump won I wanted to make sure no one could spin it as just another “normal” Republican victory.

Don't want to burst your bubble, but Robert Reich made similiar claims during Trump's first administration, claiming that insider Republicans were plotting to get rid of Trump, etc. Reich never knows what he's talking about.

How do you know he is not a criminal? You haven't seen the evidence.

I am not saying that Comey committed a crime. I am saying categorically exempting him from being capable of lying because of his experience, training, status as an adult, etc, is unwarranted and just plain silly. It's also not a legally recognized defense. His factual innocence is all that matters.

That's when I pointed out that Bill Clinton is also an adult and a professional, and he foolishly lied his ass off about Lewinsky. Smart, professional, experienced adults do lie when they think they can get away with it (Clinton wasn't expecting jizz to be found on Monica's dress).

You lost track of my original comment. The poster said it was categorically "absurd" to accuse Comey of lying. When I challenged this "defense" (which is no defense at all, btw), the reply was Comey did not lie because he is an "adult" and a "professional."

So only dumb people lacking experience commit perjury. Got it.

Bill Clinton was under oath during his deposition. All deponents are under oath.

Is Bill Clinton a "professional and an adult"? He looked America right in the eye and said, "I did not have sex with that woman" apparenlty unaware that Monica Lewinsky had saved her dress with his jizz all over it.

Why is it "absurd" that Comey could have knowingly and willing lied to Congress? He can't lie? He never lied? He's George Washington with a cherry-tree chopping ax?

He's dumb as a post. He occasionally gets things right (like the pending ballot measure to respond to Texas' gerrymandering), but it's always by accident. He recently wanted to find a way to honor Charlie Kirk's legacy. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Yeah, and you voted to honor Charlie Kirk, someone who spewed hate on a daily basis. What the fuck is wrong with you???

In a universe not so very long ago, a schmuck named Richard Spencer argued he could mainstream hate as long as he wrote a coat and tie and history has proven him correct.

Charlie Kirk didn’t invent conflict entrepreneurship, but he sure helped to perfect it. open.substack.com/pub/thecycle...

Pam Bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism. The right cannot think coherently so instead of making their own studies, they censor legitimate ones.

But don't worry Pam, I saved it for you web.archive.org/web/20250911...

This is journalist Karen Attiah, the only Black opinion columnist at the Washington Post. She was just fired for sharing a statement made by Charlie Kirk insulting Black women.
SHARE if you stand with @karenattiah.bsky.social !

New rule: Democratic leadership should give their base better candidates than duds like John Fetterman.

“Klein’s interest here isn’t honesty but flattery. It shows Klein isn’t writing about Kirk at all. He’s writing about himself and saying, ‘I’m doing politics the right way because I’m lauding someone who disagrees with me.’”

Kinda ironic that Biden treated her like shit and helped get Thomas confirmed.

Please do not insult shit.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

US rightwing group targets academics with Professor Watchlist Turning Point USA’s list gains fresh attention after it expands and some notice it disproportionately names academics of color

You people trying to rewrite the history of who Charlie Kirk was are pathetic. He used his organization to bully, dox and attack people he didn't agree with. Free speech my ass. He was one of the worst aspects of American politics. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Newsom is an embarassment to decent people with functioning brains. No way in hell will I ever vote for him for president. Not after today's idiot statements about Kirk.

People thinking being quiet & civil is how you stop right wingers from attempting to murder anyone they disagree with. Because this somehow worked for Gabby Giffords, Representative Nancy Pelosi & husband Paul, Senator Mellissa Hortman & husband Mark, Senator John Hoffman & wife Yvette…

This is such an empty headed stupid take that I am afraid it will negatively impact passing the redistricting measure in November. You really fucked up today.
