Friendly reminder that “both sides are the same” is a load of crap and anyone who says nonsense like that is either a MAGA stooge/Russian bot LARPing as a progressive or a useful idiot for the Trump regime.

Also, Kamala Harris would’ve been better for Gaza. Signed: a Palestinian American.

Didn't Trump already have his annual check up in April?

People were literally yelling at them for taking a stand for the wrong reason, now evidently they were correct to take a stand for this reason, in which case, we slag them more?

Tina Smith says Democrats are digging in: “If anything, we’re feeling more strong.”

“I think we've tapped into something that's really important to Americans.”

I think I’m gonna have to question her ability to be fair and partial.

wordsornumbers.bsky.social @wordsornumbers.bsky.social · 20h

Anyone who claims that Harris is to the right of Trump on anything probably has a very skewed definition of leftism.

Every time I see someone claim that Kamala Harris lost “the easiest election ever”, I cringe. Under no circumstances was 2024 an “easy win”, for Democrats. Harris had pretty much everything stacked against her, especially with how the media kept sanewashing Trump, while calling her a liar.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

I still can’t fathom how Trump could’ve possibly been stupid enough to make the Epstein files a key campaign promise, when it’s blatantly obvious at this point that he’s implicated in it. Did he think everyone would just forget about it after he won the election?

So "lock her up" was in the context of a campaign, the threats on Pritzker are just not in any way a campaign matter

It pains me to think that Donald J. Trump will never see the inside of a prison cell.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Wait, so Bad Bunny doesn’t appeal to a broad audience, but an 82 year old country singer who the vast majority of Gen Z people have never even heard of does?

Is he trying to imply she doesn’t want to be sworn in? Because that’s the only way his “answer” makes sense.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

Nearly 70% of Americans believe the economy is headed in the wrong direction, according to a new Fannie Mae survey.

wordsornumbers.bsky.social @wordsornumbers.bsky.social · 2d

So many of these corporations also rallied behind Trump, so maybe they’re just too chickenshit to admit they made a terrible mistake.

If you think you’re going to check Bernie Sanders’s skyline and find him talking about the invasion of Black and Brown communities over the last week you’re wrong.

Again…there’s a reason Black Folks reject him time and again. His pretending racism doesn’t exist helped get us to where we are today🤷🏾‍♀️

Translation: We voted for this, but we’re too chickenshit to own up to it now that it’s proven to be a disaster.

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.
