I can’t tell if this thread is sneering at the peloton riders. Idk I find it heartwarming? Are we assuming that none of these people will ever do anything else? Is that a fair assumption?

The exception is Philly. If you signal to change lanes, cars will make it their mission not to let you over. Better to sneak.

No health care, no deal.

This. I do not comprehend how this is workable. Then add in sick days for multiple kids. You can go months without a single, full 5-day week at school.

This was a great read on a loathsome topic. Thanks!!

If anyone could empathize with what educated, compassionate Americans are going through, I would think it would be the English, who experienced a smaller version nine years ago.

Especially the right wing of the SCOTUS?!? They are all very devout Catholics.

Can’t find a single article with this information. Is this just made up disinfo?

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

Have a close friend in finance who told me I have to stop spouting conspiracy theories about Elon when I’m just quoting milquetoast headlines. They literally said we’ve been here before with republicans and I had to remind them where the Cheneys et al were all begging us to vote blue. They forgot…

Democratic members of
Congress: If you’re on Twitter, you need to be on BlueSky.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I’ve been saying what idiot put Christmas in December? Why not February 25 to get us all the way through the dark months

*I know it won’t go anywhere. THAT’S NOT THE POINT.

The point is to document, immediately and in real time, constitutional transgressions and abuse of power.

Immediacy matters: Had Merrick Garland, for ex, appointed a SC on Day 1 to review everything Trump did, things could be different now

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Hi Mindy, tbh no one has a blueprint here so if you have an idea you might as well give it a try and report back I think people are giving some good suggestions 🙂

Ma’am if you wouldn’t mind, reread the post you responded to for tone. You may notice it’s contrasting two points in an absurd way, indicating it’s sarcastic and making fun of this point of view.

The PBS news hour is so low stimulation and dry I can actually watch it without my teeth rattling. Thank you pbs!! @pbsnews.bsky.social

It’s devastating how badly the Dems failed to meet this moment. Just utterly pathetic. I have spooky remember listening to Gaslit Nation in dismay in 2021 predicting all of this based on Dems just wishing the problem away

We read and understand just fine. Bernie is absolutely incapable of a full throated denunciation of facism. He saves that kind of clarity for dancing on the grave of democracy for told ya so brownie points from his precious white man imaginary “working class”

Where my TikTok feminists at? If you followed Ceciliaregina, thatdarnchat or hell even sprinkle sprinkle tok or the like I want to follow you. Let’s decanter men together on Bluesky too baybee :) #tiktokrefugee

Why bother? We all saw it

That’s a troll just block

I listened to an hour of poetry read by an elderly English man yesterday. I’m sad I’ll probably never see him again

This. The same PBS boomers on here, who no doubt lament how no one reads books anymore, are absolutely tap dancing on the grave of the app that saved small book stores all over the world, got people into reading poetry ffs, and grew the audience of tens of thousands of authors

If you weren’t on Booktok, you don’t really get to have an opinion right now. Many marginalized creators were able to build community there and grow platforms. I now have a publishing imprint, publishing Indigenous books, BCUZ of Booktok. We are all struggling with how to rebuild on other apps.

Suddenly the like/comment buttons lost their color and looked off and you knew it was about to happen. Really a crazy thing to witness in real time. Glad I was there at that moment.

Oh my gosh such helpful thoughts why didn’t anyone think of this???????? Cookies for you girl!!!

Oh my gosh we got another one here folks!!! Pamela Crossley here just delivered the lecture of the century on how us 150 million idiots don’t get that TikTok was stupid. Everyone come quick Pamy spitting straight wisdom thanks Pam we need your sober insights girl

Truly.
