Trump appears not to know the difference between making a deal and making peace US president’s efforts under harsh spotlight as Rwanda-DRC deal and Thailand-Cambodia mediations waver

This is a cogent take on Trump as β€œPeace-Maker” and why he isn’t.

Conservatives love AI because it's far easier to abuse a population that can't read, can't write, can't think, and can't tell what's real

We Did It, Texas Dems, We Did It Candidates in every legislative, statewide, and federal race. Now it’s time to build power where it counts.

Texas Democrats just did something historic under the leadership of new state party chair @kendallscudder.bsky.social. We have filed a candidate in EVERY 2026 race.

U.S. Senate: 1 of 1
U.S. House: 38 of 38
State Senate: 15 of 15

She deserves this. Texas deserves this. We all do.
Hopefully, Texan voters learned from their 2020 primary.

You’re right, he didn’t have social circles. Can’t remember who, but someone in the NYC wealth circle said none of them could stand him. Graydon Carter, editor of Vanity Fair in the 90’s, called him a β€œshort-fingered vulgarian,” my favorite description.

This woman was fired from Cinnabon
Because of her racist rant at Somalia customers a white nationalist group is doing a go fund me for her, so far raising 20,000 dollars for her , who would give her any money? This is a reflection in the breakdown of American society.

The Trump administration is seemingly embracing β€œremigration,” a policy associated with ethnic cleansing and mass deportations that has been pushed by the far right.

A New β€˜Fundamental Fairness’ Can Save Democracy, the Environment, and Canada As major media focus on negotiations between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Donald Trump, it’s the Canadian people who are our best line of defence. We need a new fairness to empower ourselves.

A limit on extreme individual wealth above healthy, competitive rewards; With any extreme #wealth at the highest end of the spectrum clawed back and shared equally by all.

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.

Just unspeakable assholery.

Indiana House Republicans pass Trump-backed map, setting up high-stakes Senate fight Indiana state House lawmakers have passed a new congressional map that could net Republicans two seats.

Indiana GOP have passed a grotesquely gerrymandered map *eliminating Democrats entirely.*

Republicans cheat to β€œwin.”

Electoral theft is *disgusting* & as anti-democracy as it gets.

The shameful Kangaroo Supreme Court allowing TX’s gerrymandering begets this.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck all my former colleagues who turned my former political party into a cult. Into a proudly stupid, authoritarian-embracing cult. Fuck their fear. Fuck their selfishness. Fuck their cowardice. They’ve done real damage to their country.

So ashamed that he's the felon cosplaying president .
Whomever voted for this narcissist shares the blame until you rebuke him.

As the mom of a five-year-old reading this and imagining what this family is going through made me physically ill. Unimaginable evil is being perpetrated before our eyes and with our tax dollars.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Trump betrayed Ukraine, secretly colluded with Russians against Europe, and has a secret line with the Kremlin outside of official overview, hidden from everyone including US spy / national security agencies. These are the reddest of flags. A spy sits at the White House.
