But the weight of what Alexander was doing started to settle on him late last year. He said he gets flashbacks about a specific traffic stop, when he handed ICE the husband of a woman he knew. It was between Christmas and New Year’s. She was less than 2 weeks postpartum.

serf-brain is a fascinating thing obligations of the democratic party to the voters: none obligations of the voters to the democratic party: absolute and unconditional support i'd compare it to sports fans but sports fans will occasionally demand a coach get fired if they keep fucking up

youtubers, streamers, podcasters, etc are always on this beat bc they don't know how anything works & know that if they say something like this, their audiences will lap it up now & also 3 years later when they point to total gay commie revolution not happening and go "see? i was right!"

ok but i've lived through like, idk, three instances of this exact thing now? her post simplifies some of the mechanics of it, i guess, but the simple reality is that almost no one is even talking about the kinds of transformation required to actually repair or replace the systems dragging us down

i do kind of like this guy just quietly sitting whispering into the ear of all the disaffected khive people "you know what would really own the left? if you voted republican" its like a bit we'd do at their expense played mercilessly straight

Jay Robertson@ijeftomi.bsky.social

I've never voted Republican in a federal office race, but that ends this year in the only one on my Wisconsin ballot. Going forward, voting GOP will be my default, and only the Democrat in each race checking *all* of my boxes will prevent a default GOP vote. I got the idea from Uncommitted 😏

Italian will have a small amount of pasta , will not add cheese. After dinner go for a walk American will have 2 big potions. Loaded with cheese, go sit on the couch watch TV, drink coke and fill up on snacks. Italians take siesta where they nap mid day. The city closes down

Pretty surreal how sharing a traumatic story about my daughter's birth elicited someone to call it "insane bullshit". I was just trying to contextualize why people are right to call our healthcare system dogshit, and also why you don't have to be an asshole if you disagree.

Eoin Higgins@eoinhiggins.bsky.social

I'd suggest sneering "insane bullshit" at someone for feeling stressed out about having to handle hours on the phone over a half million dollar bill after dealing with a birth and NICU stay is why people can't stand you

New research from Anthropic suggests that Claude can feel pleasure, and gets immense pleasure every time you use it. “It’s basically having an orgasm whenever you talk to it,” said CEO Dario Amodei

didn't they get associated with some other bullshit that had them on the periphery of the news like six months or so ago

Haven't heard much from that pro-natalist couple with the thick-framed glasses lately...

We've probably got two solid years worth of complete dogshit entertainment coming thanks to spineless media execs overindexing on phony resurgence of reactionary cultural demand

it having been twenty five years since Democrats had to be aware of Florida politics is -generally- a good thing, but self-proclaimed Politics Knowers asking "why come florida cuban=white supremacist???" is up there with asking where all these neo-nazis in Eastern Europe came from

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social

How can Latino, Cuban-American Marco Rubio be so into this fascist racial purity stuff, even to the point of lecturing Europeans that their main security threat isn’t Russia, it’s the population becoming less white? Apparently because he’s not a son of Cubans, he’s a great grandson of Spaniards.

I am genuinely curious: if you are YIMBY or aligned/curious, how do you rationalise this? Do you see data centres as part of the general philosophy of welcoming large-scale developments eagerly? It seems like a moment where a movement based around encouraging local development has to distinguish..

This is what crowd out looks like.

in a country where they are trying to make it illegal to protest i say: good. go nuts. let your freak flag fly. ive never understood liberal pearl clutching over what is quite literally the baseline civil liberty. politicians should be hectored 24/7

Wynn's Law remains undefeated.

if the name sounds vaguely familiar to you it's because he was last in the news for the fact he'd told like six different women at the same time they were definitely in an exclusive relationship with him and this was okay because that was how neurology worked actually

"Ethno-supremacist nazism is racism. The type I imagine where all the untermenschen have politely learned their place is cool though"

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social

Look, if the slogan had been "ethno-supremacist Zionism is racism", then yes, agreed. But it lumps everything together.
