Democrats placating republicans and ignoring leftists has been such a great strategy over the last decade. Hope it works out the same for him.

Republicans are notorious for compromising and coming to their senses in cases of extreme malfeasance. Remember those six hours after the insurrection on Jan. 6th?

I just finished another full re-watch. It still pulls me in. Like fully invested in the story and characters all over again. The show isn’t dated at all but the tech makes me feel like an old man.

Have you seen your electric bill lately? High rates paid to a monopoly to subsidize tech overlords flock camera tracking infrastructure wet dreams. There’s a lot to hate.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

There were multiple layers of barricades on the west side of the Capitol Building for a reason. This Secret Service memo from Dec 30th mentions numerous planned marches on the Capitol and even an “occupy congress” group. We knew they were marching there. Just not what they’d do when they got there.

We knew they were going to march on the Capitol. Chatter on rightwing boards was pointing towards planned violence. The Proud Boys def had a plan. What we didn’t “know” was that the FBI apparently wasn’t tracking any of this and the only resistance they’d meet would be Capitol Police.

Were you not on Twitter at that time? Everyone I followed knew it was coming. He’d been signaling for 2 months that he had options to overturn the election. And when all those failed his last option was going to be on Jan 6th. I didn’t sleep that week and took the day off to watch it happen.

derekfromtulsa @derekfromtulsa.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
Everyone saw Jan 6th coming from a mile away and no one did anything to stop it. Then for the next 5 years they did nothing to keep it from happening again. Why would it be any different next year?

Good to know that perjury only matters for some people. Just like every other law I guess, but it’s pretty brazen.

What do you think police departments have been doing for 40 years? When there’s no accountability you end up with tyrants who act accordingly knowing there is no accountability.

I coach an inner city HS baseball team. All brown and black kids. I’ve got more raw talent on the field than any of the suburban white teams that kick our ass. If my kids grew up playing ball we’d be a force. But my kids are 2 yrs in playing against kids who’ve played their whole lives.

Do baseball next. The talent being left in inner cities because poor kids don’t grow up playing baseball is insane. It’s segregation 2.0.

If they play him after a red card that’s cheating. Just because our mob boss president convinced FIFA’s mob boss president to overlook the rules at the last minute doesn’t change the fact that it’s against the rules.

American baseball is a suburban white boy sport until you get into the minors. These dudes spent their whole lives being racist pricks and then suddenly they’re around a bunch of minorities when they get to the league.

There’s a developer in my working class neighborhood who now owns 120 properties in a 10 block radius. The only properties he doesn’t own are Latino families who’ve owned for 20 plus years and won’t sell. Everyone else he’s bought out and boarded up their formally lived in houses.

It was the first time in my life that I had a full month off work since I was 14. I felt bad bc the world was falling apart, but I was doing great. Also noticed this about those pandemic checks…thrift stores and pawn shops were picked clean. Giving poor people money def stimulates the economy.

I know a young family that just pulled their kids out of day care because their snap benefits were revoked. Had to pay for food instead of daycare. Guess who won’t be working now that there’s no one to watch the kids?

Presumably to transport one violent, racist, white guy into the ether as an ambassador for humanity. But let’s not forget that the first machine was destroyed by a religious zealot! It just takes one.

In my neighborhood people steal soap, and food, and deodorant, and anything else people need and sell it for next to nothing. And when I see it I don’t think “that person stealing from a multi-billion dollar corporation should be in jail”. I think “that’s some Robin Hood shit”.

Cops, the FOP, DA’s, and to some extent the judges who are supposed to keep them in line are all on the same team. And the game they play is upholding the illusion of justice. All of their paychecks, their pensions, and their professional relationships depend on them winning that game at all costs.
