Probably the most damning thing about the Democrats is that for almost a decade now they’ve been saying “Trump violates the emoluments clause” rather than “Trump is taking extremely illegal bribes.” Nobody knows an emolument is, okay?

It's sure does looks like all institutional power, very much including mainstream journalists, are tied to horrific abusers. *Were* tied, sorry that's what I meant. It's not like that anymore, no. No no, don't even bother looking

People want to believe that the GOP’s electoral success in red states is the result of dirty tricks and gerrymandering instead of the sincerely held beliefs of a majority of the population because a mechanical issue is easier to fix than wrestling with how to make people not believe what they do.

somebody brought this up once in the context of Florida voters in 2000 and it fucked me up so much
just the cascading effects on our whole society from losing such a tidal wave of queer people
just the cascading effects on our whole society from losing such a tidal wave of queer people
A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender.
All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.”
And I’ve thought about that every day since.

Legal citizenship should be virtually effortless to obtain and near instantaneous to process, and should be paired with sweeping grants of asylum.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor
Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.
My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?

back in the BBS days some kids wouldn't be able to talk their parents into getting a second phone line but would want to run a board so it'd be online from like 10pm to 6am or something and if you called at the wrong time the kid's mom would answer. Guess we're bringing it back.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts unemployment website used to stop working at 10PM (not sure if it still does), which is bad for a public website, but gave me the idea, yet unfulfilled, of a webstore that was closed at night.
they should make websites that turn off at night

Omg wait @clairewillett.bsky.social are all of the Pope’s jerseys relics now????
He's the sports jersey pope now. 1000 years from now historians will be going through the Vatican archives trying to figure out who the Charlotte Hornets were.

Sick to my stomach that the President being mixed up with a horrifying global network of pedophiles is considered a 'voter issue' and not something the whole world needs to know about and people need to be prosecuted for.
Only reason anyone would want people to ignore Epstein is if you're involved

The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

I am legitimately not happy that MTG is getting death threats, and I also have to triage my concern and empathy these days so unfortunately there are a lot of people ahead of her in line and she helped put a lot of them there.

She’s not waking up. Her text messages to him (that she shared) still shows that she doesn’t think he’s in the files and that she believes the files will expose the democratic deep state. She’s insane.
