the problem with the complaints on here that "Democrats have bad messaging!" is that, whenever a Democratic politician does good messaging, the complaints immediately turn to "but he's not doing anything!" the goalposts are eternally moving, it's so unserious

had a nice bagel this morning. cream cheese spread was adequate. toasting was fine. a perfectly acceptable meal was had on this day

“Blah,” said a voice from inside the house.

"but we need to push people out for opsec" if you people had read the theory you claim to, you would know that cultivating that attitude is *literally* COINTELPRO 101. get real.

not having a good time tonight for personal reasons, but at least there are chips. "you can't eat your feelings" challenge accepted

I should watch RoboCop again

This is also what I immediately thought of bsky.app/profile/jame...

next he'll be calling them fish-eaters. this is truly the late-nineteenth-century presidency of all time

it is not healthy to spend so much time yelling at people. full stop. "but he has bad takes and I need to correct him" just log off. it is, and I cannot stress this enough, not healthy to have your whole life center around this. control your emotional impulses. find more productive outlets for them.

the true question is not "why are people mad at Will Stancil again?", it is "how are people mad at Will Stancil again?". he just posts, recently about how he's doing actual mutual aid and community support in real life. and yet people seem driven to build their online personae around hating him.

why did this have the "Translate" icon? what does the Robocop line bot mean that I do not understand? I must know

there are a bunch of people desperate to get lied to about this.

even if you think Dems should be negotiating for abolishment right now, don’t be one of them

some of you people need to learn when to log off and take care of yourselves

sometimes I don't eat breakfast and then wonder why I'm hungry ~15 minutes later, if you're wondering how I am doing today

fedpost (v.)

to post violent threats on the Internet, ostensibly as an everyday citizen, but actually working as an undercover federal agent

I'm really tired of y'all painting all the Democrats in congress as worthless when we are talking about 7 out of 213 people and to be clear the bill would have passed without them. Run primaries against those 7, donate to their opponents, sure. But stop acting like the entire party is against you.

don't watch the video. "but you need to bear witness" don't watch the video. you are not nobly taking suffering upon yourself. you are just hurting your brain even more.

I don't have time for this bullshit!

getting mad at wyden — who has one of the strongest records of voting against this admin in the entire senate — for this post is a remarkable act of pointless performative outrage.

the "asking Bluesky politics posters to understand the difference between descriptive and prescriptive language" experiment has failed. please make contact with your local grass or grass equivalent immediately. thank you for your time.

The entire point is *Americans* fought each and every one of those things and stopped them. And they’re fighting now to stop ICE. As *Americans*.

Love to hear advice on party discipline from people who support the DSA.

in the unlikely event that it happens, it will be good for people to get sleep anyway

"Nooooo the IC doesn't represent us" is such a fucking cope-out.

That's your party dawg!!!! You can purge those fuckers!!!!

But you won't because they're popular!!!!

*it, I spell good

"b-but my local chapter is bett-" no one cares about if *this* is what leadership is doing and what, consequently, makes headlines. clean house or shut up

*shakes Reverse: 1999 can* come on Beryl. come on out. don't make me kludge together an Extra Action team without you Beryl

the choice isn't "shut down the government or fund ICE", ICE is getting funded no matter what, the choice is "try to enforce oversight and spending or don't participate at all"

forgot to eat lunch again lmao

I have the astronomy presentation scene from Rebel Without A Cause stuck in my head. it really is a great scene.
