One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

Blogged angry today. It is bad for Democrats, and bad for democracy, when a few centibillionaires decide to take ownership of all mass media outlets. We can all see that, right? Your political message does not matter if your target audience cannot hear it. davekarpf.beehiiv.com/p/your-polit...

Brad Carpenter (he/him) @brad-carpenter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

At this point, the GOP can only make attack ads centered around subjects people don't understand or have been 100% misinformed about. Taxes, immigration, trans-anything, etc. We really need to teach people the basics around these topics.

The growing number of deaths in the Jeffrey Epstein-Donald Trump orbit deserves a thorough investigation to rule out whether any of them are not what they are purported to be: suicides and/or accidents.

New analysis reveals that Trump's tariffs raised prices on consumers and increased price inflation significantly. Without the tariffs, it's estimated prices would've fallen.

Ok, from here on out the furthest Right we should ever move is the current Neo-liberal center. There's a lot of room to move Leftwards towards equal rights, universal healthcare, clean water, safe food, basic dignity, clean energy, etc. Let's progress forward and never backslide again.

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

If Dems are looking for a closing msg, here's a free one from the cheap seats: The GOP spent the last 2 years implementing parts of Project 2025 while allowing Trump and the Tech oligarchs to do whatever they wanted. The results: obvious ruin that they can't run on. Never reelect these people.

A confirmed lab leak that we’re all hearing about. As opposed to the secret COVID conspiracy that there’s no evidence for but every major media outlet nonetheless gave credence to under pressure from the right and hallucinating op-ed columnists.

Nothing gets better until the RW disinformation apparatus is dismantled or, at the very least, effectively combatted by realty based information.

His biker buddies are also pissed, but that's a new development based on gas and food prices (and the Epstein coverup for some). Nothing I've ever said to him made him change. Countless conversations and he just placated/ignored me. My father loves me and still trusts Fox News over me.

I know ONE single person, a 3 time Trump voting biker and 2nd amendment guy, who has finally left the MAGA cult, but it took his father dying (interacting with the healthcare system) and having Hispanic relatives/in-laws being impacted by ICE to work as catalyst.

Here in rural OH, this progressive white man has spent the last decade arguing with MAGA white men, often times friends and family, fighting the same arguments over and over again because the only information being funded is RW disinformation. Your answer only works in a world that doesn't exist.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.
