Hold on to the fact that there is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.

Catherine Connolly's granddad fought in the Easter Rising. In the British Army.

Catherine Connolly was asked about the Irish media constantly both-sidesing every issue, and said there are strong arguments for and against it and respectful people can disagree.

Catherine Connolly has very strong opinions about the state of American politics but can't name a single Irish government minister.

My first thought as well.

There are tells in this video, but there won't always be.

We have reached the point where unless you are one hundred percent sure of the source of a video, you *must* assume it is fake, especially if it triggers *any* form of emotional response in you.

Catherine Connolly saw me reading the Leo Varadkar "infetterence" copypasta and whispered, "You know it's all made up, right?"

Driver pulled over to give way for Catherine Connolly on rural road and Connolly did *not* give awkward little wave of acknowledgement

Who the fuck sees the anonymous chicken on the left and thinks, "yeah, what we need is no information about where our food comes from?"

Like green baseball caps with an (L) on the front sold out immediately after that CEO was popped.

You know, I like his films, except for that nervous fella who's always in them.

The key paragraph from @naomiaklein.bsky.social & @astra.bsky.social's powerful piece describing the urgency of our present moment. They are right, and we better move quickly.

To move forward with focus, we must first understand this simple fact: we are up against an ideology that has given up not only on the premise and promise of liberal democracy but on the livability of our shared world – on its beauty, on its people, on our children, on other species. The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.

It's not even about making them believe the absurdities. In fact, it's better if they don't. What matters is that they will *say* they believe the absurdities. That they will *insist* that they do, and *defend* the absurdities to anyone who tries to argue against them.

This is the essence of the "big lie." Once someone is willing to say they believe something like “Oregon doesn’t even have stores anymore,” despite the evidence of their own eyes, facts no longer matter. You can define any reality for them, and they’ll defend it for you by whatever means you choose.

Are you seriously accusing DSA of trying to hide the fact that they're socialists?

Onwards and upwards, comrades.

"Thinking we should put Latinos in gas chambers" = "leans right" according to these freaks.

What she meant is that when the Republicans are weak, voters realise that the Democrats, who then hold all the power, neither believe in nor intend to implement the policies their supporters voted for, and that despite every effort to hide it from voters, the Democrats are not a left-wing party.

Literally victim blaming here.

Best to run them by somebody in future at any rate, buddy.

The President is the best of us. He can't run for a third time but I'd vote for him again if he did, and if he was on the ballot he'd wipe the floor people like Gavin, or god-forbid next time around, Harris.

David (feat. CJ) @chiggyvr.bsky.social · 4d

Calm yourself. Last time, there was a mad racist on the ballot and all the right-wing freaks came out to support him. It's nowhere near as serious this time around.

David (feat. CJ) @chiggyvr.bsky.social · 4d

Every candidate running in the election is a democrat, you dummy. Even the republican.
