if you’d like a vision of tomorrow look to puerto rico today. PR has no real democracy, looted by wall street, constant privatizations & union busting, declining public services, its own version of tariffs in the form of the Jones Act, and even has silicon valley wizard pedophiles running amok.

Might be time to send missionaries to share the gospel with the white evangelical church in America.

If you could snap your fingers and replace everyone in executive branch tomorrow, it wouldn’t restore things to where they were.

distinctly recall a rolling stone article early on where these anonymous GOP sources were saying shit like “we expected this” and crying at the thought of a dealing with another FDR situation.

dr cottam made the excellent point that he himself doesn’t belong in their circles and that these demands for gratitude are as much an attack as they are a demonstration to *his* betters that he is also “grateful”

if you want your party to Be Good you are morally obligated to invite boricuas and gays.

It's important to remember amidst every corporate knee-bending that the first organization Trump bent to his will was the entire Republican party, and it was his easiest conquest ever because they are spineless weirdos who will never muster the juice. They're done without him and they know it.

Hey if the existence of Bad Bunny is such an unpatriotic affront to Americans, no problem! I call on my people to expel all the Yakubian bitcoiners ASAP and retvrn to the old ways

weirdly enough these right wingers understand something that liberals do not: puerto ricans will never be americans.

and fuck, we shouldn’t want to.

illbleed for sego dreancas @impemboganecue.bsky.social · 5d

It's wild how among the right it's simply self-evident that it's unpatriotic for a Puerto Rican to perform at the super bowl. They don't even feel the need to explain it. It's not a dogwhistle, either. It just is.

My wife is an elementary gifted ed specialist. The idea that gifted kids either don't exist or don't benefit from gifted education services is both wrong and harmful to those kids. Phasing out gifted programs is stupid. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/n...

Gaza is calling all of us. Do not abandon your responsibilities as a human being

A Call to the Free People of the World
We are dying in Gaza...
The bodies of women and children lie in the streets.
Israel has destroyed the hospitals, and there is no food or medicine.
Do not go back to your homes.
Work must stop, and strikes must begin across all vital sectors,
so that governments are forced to act and compel Israel to immediately cease fire.
Protests must continue in the streets, and sit-ins must spread across universities, until Israel's genocide in Gaza is stopped.
Please share this message and make it reach everyone.
