I strongly feel that people are reading OBAA in bad faith and it’s mostly about Perfidia being an extremely complicated character that does not slot easily into “good” or “bad.”
Happy birthday, #Maine! In 206 years, every single Democrat we’ve elected to the U.S. Senate has been a white man. Time for a change, don’t you think?

Tech's use of 'moral panic' as an all purpose dismissal of their critics continues to fascinate me, because on one hand it's a linguistic holdover from when they were assumed to be liberals, and on the other they use it as essentially a synonym for a very right-wing phrase, 'virtue signalling'
She is so beautiful.
I didn't really understand Twink Death as a concept until this happened
@tomandlorenzo.bsky.social have what you need!
"I have literally never been responsible for anything bad I have done or said ever in my life." - man currently claiming he should be a US senator
This! So much of this!
Just another St Patrick’s weekend in Boston
Hi Jonathan,
We just got back from the Soothsayer, and we have terrible news to share.
She said that it's looking grim for the Senate. Can you donate five denarii to help us turn this ship around?
truly insane to me that given their respective CVs Platner is not treated as an offbeat fringe candidate and Andrea LaFlamme isn’t the immediately obvious top choice for everyone who thinks Mills is too establishment/moderate, but being a white guy with facial hair goes a long way in this country
God love him. What a great thing
Representative Tlaib’s endorsement means so much to me personally. She’s set a true example for what it means to be deeply rooted in transformative progressive values that never compromise.
I hope to join her in 2027 as the only other currently elected Palestinian in Congress!
we need everyone to come help us get the big boats past our historically vanquished enemy pls right now very urgent they’re blowing them up oh fuck
Sanewashing remains rampant in coverage, with outlets either ignoring Trump's actual words entirely or framing them as mere crassness or hyperbole from an otherwise sophisticated, humane, well-meaning President while he gleefully admits he's a sociopath who is ordering textbook war crimes.
It's like the New York Times has undergone some sort of Ludovico Treatment and now it makes them physically ill to type something straightforward like "The President lied about the economy in his speech and things are going poorly across all indices." Instead you get this.
Abolish ICE, abolish the CBP, abolish surveillance capitalism.
The destruction and death is by far the worst part of living under Trump.
But I also really detest the constant gaslighting and lying. Its so exhausting living in the world and also his pretend version that he forces on everyone like a pervert who corners you at a party with bad breath
The Prairieland case has not gotten enough attention, and it's terrifying. These were a bunch of trans and queer lefties, many of whom didn't know each other before the protest, who went down to a protest and were deemed terrorists and put in jail and denied hrt and medications.
Takeaway from this survey: no, AI is not coming for your jobs—it's just the fashionable thing to blame right now for corporates struggling to cope with the Trump Depression (I'm calling it a Depression because that's exactly where it'll end up if it isn't reversed within a few more months).

The thing is, you can’t have a country running both a happy fun international sports fest where you invite the world, AND at the same time a soviet-style Iron Curtain complete with goons who might randomly send foreign visitors to a torture prison for months on end
Search your camera roll for hell
I texted some with some family in India who told me hotel and restaurant kitchens are closing because of our wars and a shortage of cooking gas. This is what happens. We in the us are artificially protected from the consequences of our own foreign policies but others suffer lord have mercy.
Toxic masculinity ruins the party again
I wonder why the Democrats are always recruiting former military rather than, say, community organizers, public defenders, or nurses.
They are murdering the people they say should rise up.
This reminds me of the “Why is there no Palestinian Mandela?” line. Like, because you would have murdered him and all his family??????
Not an e-bike and already street illegal.
