Egalitarian. Too stupid and politics obsessed to log off, but also too lazy to actually run for office or anything

There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

political sicko reposted

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

Bums me out sometimes that it’s a near certainty that somewhere out there is intelligent life, and it’s also a near certainty that it’s way to far away for us to ever interact with at all.

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

In his (rather dubious) defense, Republican voters have shown him again and again that they love bigotry more than the constitution, the country, the troops, their jobs, drinking water, affordable food, their dignity, their own families, and even their own lives.

Trump is smearing Ilhan Omar in speeches all over the country now because he is an Islamophobic bigot and he thinks that’s a winning message for Republicans

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

political sicko reposted

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who spared a thought for my country today, who amplified information about the coup d’état attempt, and worried about Brazil’s democratic future—the world’s democratic future. We won! Women won! The Amazon won! Young people won! Democracy won! Hope won!

High propensity LA voters, of which a good share are Black, has shifted massively but less so towards Dems And given the EV data also seen in GA, NC, SC, TX, VA, AR(!!), and early results of FL, it’s clear Southern Black voters are still rightly pissed off about Callais

Trump didn't like Ramaswamy until he saw him sticking up for child rapists and their enablers. He hated the Ivy League until Cornell had a prominent fraternity gang-rape story in the news. He's not just a rapist, not just a serial rapist—he's a rape *enthusiast,* and it's why Republicans love him.

Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

One of the really fascinating things about Charlie Kirk is that his own people’s response to his death was so nakedly opportunistic that it’s like oh, ok, this guy is fair game for literally anything, he’s an object, and now his soul is trapped inside Grok for eternity.

What Voters Really Care About

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump on renaming things: "We have a lake, we have a gulf. We need a river, an ocean, and a strait. So I've got the strait. That's the Strait of Hormuz. We're gonna call it the Trump Strait ... I want to change the the name of the Atlantic Ocean to the American Ocean."

i really do think that a successful impeachment and removal of hegseth is a live possibility if dems win the senate. he is a genuine disaster.

Laleh Khalili@lalehkhalili.bsky.social

Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

This must be NYC’s fault somehow, because registering in NY is not that hard

World’s Biggest Stagflation Truther@corncobanalysis.bsky.social

You know what I also learned from this piece? New York has a lower voter registration rate for eligible citizens than Florida. It is only slightly better than Louisiana. And for Hispanic residents, it's on par with Florida (e.g. yikes).

These are what Dems are focusing in in the first 100 hours of the next legislative session and priorities after that. They include reigning in the Iran War, ending the tariffs, reversing Medicaid/SNAP cuts and restoring ACA subsidies Outside of that ICE legislation, min wage, stock trading ban
