I actually like to think of it as democratic social-populism. “Socialism” is still too scary for a lot of people

This sounds like a press release that Cuomo or Adams would send out. Tone deaf and delusional about how tough you sound. Why are you signing off like this was meant for trump? He’s busy releasing fake science about tylenol, he doesn’t give a shit about you.

The price drop and political news are coincidental. DIS has been declining since june, but whatever makes you all feel better. Same people thought they hurt tesla but theyre doing fine too 🤷‍♂️ gonna need a better strategy tbh.

Actually the most likely reason is to surveil china. Trump loves putin if you haven’t been paying attention.

3 Officers shot dead in Pennsylvania, maybe THIS one will move us to change gun laws and background check policy.... probably not though.

At least 3 police officers killed in Pennsylvania shooting, officials say

The irony of getting posts deleted for simply quoting the guy. Whats the excuse @bsky.app ?

We need a new app. It’s very fortunate and disappointing that Bluesky is deleting posts and banning people who speak against Charlie K.

democratic system tied to an unsound republic and biased judiciary? God I hope so, and if I am to pray,I pray we can do so without violence. But I will not lie. Political violence has a disgusting place in US history. So if I am to pray, I pray we can find the strength to rid ourselves of it forever

Words are ignored, concerns pushed aside and a status quo that fits the narrative of “political violence has no place here” is somehow absolute, when it is in fact a lie. Can we for once do something about gun violence? Can we for once do something about our failing

we see other democracies in Nepal and Indonesia where political violence SHOULD NOT have a place; but again clearly it does. It’s uncomfortable for us to grapple with but tragically, like today, it does. It is not a good place or a place for admiration of action over words, but it exists because

It’s an absolute shame that things like this happen. I condemn it like everyone because I’d never want to see it happen to anyone or about anything I care about; but to pretend like it doesn’t have a place is revisionist nonsense. Right now

where a man felt he had no choice it clearly fucking did. We don’t like to admit it because we’ve rationalized that the US has grown out of such acts, and that our democracy is resilient to such acts, but it clearly hasn’t and isn’t.

LOL “political violence has no place in this country”. It clearly fucking does. Every time the US gov weaponizes agencies, that is political violence. Every time the US military is used outside the scope of self-defense it clearly does. Every time in the history of the US

Reading how many people are fawning over Apple products on Bluesky is a reminder we were, are, and always have been doomed. Tim Apple can’t lose if everyone is willing to look the other way after he made the offering at the Trump alter. Tech is just synonymous with hypocrisy and performative action

Is the Hyundai plant all bait and switch? Trump strong arms companies into investing in US manufacturing and then detains/deports foreigners working on said manufacturing. I don’t even have to check to tell you there are not 400+ Americans with the skills ready to replace all the people detained. 🤦‍♂️

Hey Liz, maybe include something that you’re actively doing in these posts instead of just doing what Hakeem does which, I dunno if you’ve seen the coffers of the dnc lately, isn’t working…

Wow thanks Hakeem, keep up the good work bud! knocked it out of the park with this one, MAGA on the back foot now!

I know the subsidies granted by the federal government have been huge for clean energy; but instead of panicking and making nothing statements, perhaps incentivizing the free market or individual investors to use their money to back clean energy products may be a better use of your time

Closer to 20% since every day more refineries or depots are getting hit. 17% is a few days old. They’ve found the economic weak spot 🇺🇦

Dissolve the fed and rebuild it. If dems can win the seats necessary in congress first, then i see no reason that wouldnt be possible since we’re talking hypotheticals. If the senate is required, we’re doomed and it will expose how poorly planned everything has been in terms of safeguards.

Too late now Texas, California will be voting on redistricting on November 4th! Yes on CA Prop 50!

This is funny for a lot of reasons, but anyone who’s driven the I-5 up or down CA knows the farmers hate Newsom and dems in general, and there are always billboards to prove it lol. I hope they hear about his trolling 😆

I hate to say, but to get the National Guard out of DC (in a timely and safe manner) a concession should be made. Promise to increase police spending in exchange for their removal. Don’t necessarily or actually increase the spending (because I think Trump can be tricked that way). Use a loophole!
