Important to understand. We did not lose the election because of our message or our candidate, we lost because the right controls the information infrastructure. Their message was heard and repeated, ours was not.

Kate Starbird @katestarbird.bsky.social · Nov 6

The Right built a powerful, partisan, & participatory media environment to support its messaging, which offers a compelling "deep story" for its participants. The Left relied upon rigid, self-preserving institutional media and its "story" is little more than a defense of imperfect institutions.

Wild stuff.

I have to admit, I wasn’t paying as much attention back then.

ConstantlyDumbfounded @imdumfounded.bsky.social · 6h

Right? Strange thread. Why have I never heard this stuff before.

So we've reached the Anne Frank stage of fascism. How devastating to read this gut wrenching story. It's time for all of us to choose what we will do when the jackboots come for our neighbors.

Oh my. This is some dark stuff. Apparently the Ciattarelli family has some skeletons in the closet. Literally.

And since he invoked his brothers… I still wanna know who murdered Anthony’s wife & stuffed her body in the trunk of a car… and why he apparently killed himself the day he was supposed to be questioned by police…

Ms. M @msmalarkey24.bsky.social · 7d

Ummm. Since Jack Ciattarelli thinks it’s just fine to drag Mikie Sherrill’s family & events of 30 years ago into the NJ Governor’s race, can someone please ask about his brother Anthony?? 😳

This is illegal. Fuck those nazis.

There is more evidence for her claim than there is for most of the things the right blasts out. I'm cool with it.

Tom Kean Jr. in CD7 called Malinowski a pedophile the last time they ran against each other. Apparently, these are the new rules of the game as established by MAGA.
I'm happy to see that Sherrill has the balls to play on the same level in trump's America. We need that.

Bleah. The world is so fucking stupid.

American kleptocracy.

Great ad.

Jack is unraveling, and it’s no secret why: he’s 25 days away from becoming a three-time loser.

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

I don't know, this is their statement according to Reuters. Sure sounds like they are taking a jab at Trump.

Clowns. 🤡

ConstantlyDumbfounded @imdumfounded.bsky.social · 19h

It's a stretch of a paraphrase to be sure, but truthfully, if it pisses Trump off, I'm ok with it.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

I don't know. According to Reuters, they were pretty much giving him the middle finger in their statement. They don't have to say his name for us all to read between the lines.

Trump did that, not me, not the OP.
Have a seat, dude.

ConstantlyDumbfounded @imdumfounded.bsky.social · 20h

To be fair, it's exactly what Trump will hear.

ConstantlyDumbfounded @imdumfounded.bsky.social · 20h

You mean "false frog riot"?

ConstantlyDumbfounded @imdumfounded.bsky.social · 20h

Disrepute for giving trump the middle finger? Nah, man, only raises their esteem in the eyes of the world. And ya, it's basically what they were saying.

Embarrassing, really, for American democracy to fall to some of the stupidest creatures that ever walked the earth.
