The NDP could be doing this as well in Canada...

But they aren't.

@ndp.ca how about it?

The Democratic Party should be in every major city and small rural area running food drives and registering people to vote right now.

But they wont. Because “at least we’re not Trump” doesnt require any thoughts or demands. It’s just “shut up and vote for us.”

And that is a losing strategy

I think these people are convinced that Mamdani is only popular because of slick graphics and it can’t be THAT hard to get them because HE did it.

"It can't be genuine, it must be a trick!" is the ultimate "every accusation is a confession" political revelation.

SCHOENING's testimony, at a federal trial on the legality of Trump's guard deployment in Portland, describes federal officails as repeatedly using "indiscriminate" force against protesters despite no signs of threat from protesters.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

noteworthy that rather than funding experiments into challenging conservative message domination on the local level or building between-election outreach capacity at the state level, centrist donors are throwing millions at what amount to online factional battles among a couple dozen people

That’s called burying the lead

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Don't engage with trolls, including the Republican party as it currently exists. You can't placate terrorists holding the sociopolitical equivalent of a thermobaric bomb. The more air you give them, the more you are responsible for enabling their existence.

Remember the Bluesky mantra: Just block.

Also as requested for citizen media not sure of how to be responsible:

I am Media media, by which I mean people know or should that I am recording. Ergo I do not need to be careful about it.

You do. If someone is hiding their face from me drop your camera please. Don't rock up on tight groups.

1) Trump says he wants peace in Ukraine, makes some noises about maybe doing something that pressures Russia to really negotiate

2) Trump gets positive press for it despite not doing anything

3) Trump talks to Putin, backs off any real pressure, parrots BS that Russia wants peace

4) Repeat step 1

Peaky Blinders meme: No fighting with regime-run accounts. No fucking fighting with regime-run accounts!

They've been working towards this for a while now. They will absolutely keep doing it

Imagine risking your life as a British trader to sail across treacherous seas to procure black pepper and cloves, only for your dipshit great great great great grandson to call it anti-british in between rounds of call of duty on the xbox.

The top 20 accounts blocked in the last 24 hours. They're almost entirely US government accounts. And they're catching block numbers that would easily put them in the all-time top blocked list, just in the first day.

lol. lmao, even.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

Why would you admit this?
Also, British food has been spicy forever - The Forme of Cury was written in the 14th century!

Yes. The 70somethings I know are super mad. If you’re a boomer whose parents fought in WWII, you fought in and/or protested war in 1960s-70s but either way repped the US, then did okay in American Dream (could afford college & house) a lot of this is a betrayal of what you thought America was about

How Snobbery Helped Take The Spice Out Of European Cooking Complex, contrasting flavors are a hallmark of Indian cooking. They used to dominate Western food, too. What changed? When spices became less exclusive, Europe's elite revamped their cuisines.

If you're like, why would anyone deny themselves delicious food for racism? Well, we're talking about a region that denied themselves yummy food just to prove they were fancy.

Oh

Even worse, rather than take responsibility for the screw up the Houston Police Chief is blaming the child.

Saying he gave them incorrect information and casting doubt on whether he’s “actually autistic” because he was able to communicate.

Ableism and bigotry on full display here.

YouTube video by KHOU 11 Vigil held for Emmanuel Gonzalez Garcia, the teen being held in federal custody

A 15 year old autistic child named Emmanuel Garcia went missing Oct 4th. Houston PD found him & gave him to ICE despite his Mom having filed a missing person’s report.

He’s now in an immigration facility for unaccompanied minors.

His Mom is pleading for his return:

This is why disability justice and race justice are bound up together. White supremacy isn’t simply racist, it is also fundamentally ableist
