Wishing Jews around the world a meaningful fast this Yom Kippur. May it be a day of reflection and renewal.

Yesterday Was Not as Bad as You Thought. It was worse.

For me it was forcing October 7 first responders and survivors to relive trauma just to confirm that yes Hamas actually beheaded and burned infants because people on Twitter were denying Hamas would do that.

For the record, I was an NYU student from 1991-1993. I lived at Alumni Hall, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from the Cooper Union.

This was not a distant and strange place to me. It was where I lived.

Wanna see the exact day, the exact news story that caused me to say..."Aww, fuck this, I'm siding with the Jews from here on out"??

October 7th was bad, but real the final nail was hit on October 26, 2023. youtu.be/CTFrCwEePaM?...

Plurality not majority

"When a candidate wins a primary by an overwhelming majority, the party should rally around that candidate."

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising.

Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

Welcome to the Trump Government Shutdown 2.0

Our job:

Keep reminding people the GQP controls both chambers & POTUS so they’re too incompetent to govern

The economy is shitty

Grocery prices are ridiculous

Military on our streets

Loss of constitutional rights

Tariffs are taxes

Schumer and Zohran Mamdani are on the same page on the shutdown yet one is despised and the other is worshiped

This website got the shutdown it wanted and now let's see how they are handling it? By getting mad at Chuck Schumer again of course!

Blueskys reactions to Mamdani vs Schumer on shutdown messaging is literally just this meme

these morons need to follow a real leader like Zohran Mamdani and message on real cost of living issues people care about like healthcare, not Schumer's stupid obsession with 'kitchen table' bullshit like healthcare

“I don’t follow people and don’t get their messages, so it’s their fault” is perfect Bluesky logic.

I've come to a point that many people's idea of Opposition is Theatrical Big Dunks that accomplish nothing

Alleged tradcath completely unaware of the catholic church’s position on capital punishment

There are Bluesky howler monkeys who are saying things like this

They're Federalist Society, Heritage hates them

think this was substantially correct re: Charlie Kirk

nothing you can do about that.

it’s not enough for them to keep the censorship spree up, in fact it backfired w/Kimnel (dozens of others still got screwed ofc) & that’s tbh best case scenario realistically. these people are hopelessly cooked; if it wasn’t Kirk, it’d be some other obsession

at the end of the day it may boost their donations, but they’re now minus one of their more talented (yeh i know) bridges between the far right and the more or less mainstream. Erika has scary Serena Joy energy but she’s not a substitute for that role. Atm there isn’t one really.

So: move on.

Not to be rude, but some dope who got shot while breaking and entering during a riot is still getting mentioned so the bar isn't really all that high for "things wingnuts will lie about forever".

The thing about the RW (which I'm pretty sure op knows, but in the spirit of posting) is that they don't actually gaf about Charlie Kirk, they only cared about using him to further their ends. Once it became clear that the US's response was a big ol' "wait, who?" they realized it was pointless.

I mean if I was a person inside the RW movement, I'd be internalizing right now that no one around me actually cares about me in any way shape or form or if something bad happens to me if they can't use it to further their ends. It's a movement for sociopaths, by sociopaths.

Fox News Poll: Democrat Sherrill leads New Jersey governor’s race Fox News poll shows Democrat Mikie Sherrill leading Republican Jack Ciattarelli by 8 points in New Jersey's gubernatorial race to replace term-limited Gov. Phil Murphy.

Just as you should not freak out because Emerson showed #NJGov tied the other day, you also should not exult because a poll for Fox News now shows Mikie Sherrill up 8.

But yeah, Fox—whose polling plays it straight—has Sherrill up 8.

If the Republicans thought they had this sewn up they wouldn't have plundered the National Archives

His eyes are brown and that's it

This is a white guy

Very clearly, whoever is running this DHS account is an antisemitic white supremacist drawn from the same neo-Nazi internet circles as Raw Egg Nationalist, and on friendly terms with him outside their official role.

The DHS is now a white nationalist terrorist organization.

Our government is run by Groypers.
