People tell you who they are.
May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

Reference for the olds: the John Birch Society won, it just took the invention of the internet. The post office didn't have the bandwidth to make it work with paper.

+1 to Faine on this.

A number of us were looking to USAID to transform or even sunset with a succession plan that caused no harm -- but as my colleague @keefemurren.bsky.social said, they just took it out the back and shot it dead. The ripple effects of this have been massive and devastating.
this has been one of the things that’s genuinely driven me to the point of gibbering madness (and rage)

working my way through John Gunther's magisterial must-read for American historians INSIDE USA and I love the parts where Gunther's "New Deal liberal internationalist" perspective clashes with modern sensibilities - not the ones you might be thinking about,

I think very often people do not realize the sheer *scale* of government, particularly the US government.
There are already food banks/depositories in every district & a ton of Democrats have been doing events to support them, but if no one besides a staffer posts about it, no one knows about it.

Even with a massive support, it's not replacing $100 billion in SNAP. We need a functional government!

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

they say stuff like this and you realize, they believe women just fine. they just don't care when we're hurt and think men should be allowed to paw at whomever they want without consequence.

This is a masterclass in repeating carefully workshopped robotic talking points that miss the forest for the trees and are irrelevant to the question at hand: Trump chose to build a ballroom instead of funding programs that would feed those kids.
GOV. WHITMER: β€œ.. no one is worried about building a ballroom in Washington, D.C. What they want is to make sure that they can feed their kids next week.” Most Americans are β€œnever going to step foot in a ballroom over the course of their lifetime.”

It is an strange fact that the most vocal supporters of 'survival of the fittest' racism are usually not, in fact 'the fittest'.

It’s fun to look at this ai slop nazi propaganda and then remember what these guys actually look like. This isn’t what they (or america) looks like and far from loving america, this is an expression of severe self loathing bsky.app/profile/geof...
I made an image of all the art posted by US DOL on X since approximately Labor Day

a lot of journalists have internalized the idea that if people are mad at you that means you’re β€œchallenging” them and it is stupid on its face

very rare to see someone say out loud what i suspect, which is that there are plenty of people evaluate my work based on my profile picture and not the actual words i use

this is basically politico
the political media is a type of self-serious entertainment designed to parse rhetoric as though it is policy while taking no position on matters of actual public concern, because to do that would alienate some of those entertained by the gossip.
I can’t get over a media that spent years dwelling on gaffes telling us which Presidential crimes aren’t a big deal

Poor people have very mixed feelings about welfare because it means you might give money to another poor person

tbh it's kind of fascinating that Trump has basically won 2024 on the back of a rainbow coalition for right-wing authoritarianism while also basically doing none of the herrenvolk welfarism that you would think would be implied
