democrats love to go “we need to have a bigger tent!” and they don’t mean leftists or queer people what they mean is a rich guy who wants to destroy all democracy and replace it with technocracies

Color me not shocked: "Raw Ricci," social media influencer & Fox News guest Ricci Wynne, who built his rep depicting San Francisco as a fentanyl drenched cesspool, is being held for molesting underaged teenage girls.

No doubt he rises to the level of a presidential pardon from the Rapist-in-Chief

A lot of Gen X libs watched too much South Park and have decided that saying “things are bad and everything is pointless” is a worthwhile beginning point and end point of their politics and I simply do not agree

Anyone have any insight into where my boomer parents got the idea that those who fought in Vietnam were somehow more 'soft' than those who fought in WW2 or Korea? I usually know where most of their weird/bad takes are from, but this one is throwing me for a loop.

Don't you think today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks?

I do.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...

It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.
