We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

“Greenblatt deliberately tries to obfuscate 🇮🇱 & AIPAC for the Jewish people.” MICHIGAN Senate candidate Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social responds to ADL attacks by calling out the disingenuous dismissal of all 🇮🇱 criticism as “antisemitism”, which ultimately puts Jews everywhere at risk.

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

I just watched Pete Hegseth’s speech. He is a dangerous unserious person with a lot of power. He is racist, misogynist, anti-LGBT, & transphobic and he can operationalize that, putting service members and our nation at risk. Theme song from Monty Python’s Flying Circus played as he left the stage.

The long-term effects of Trump's policies are projected to translate into an 8% reduction in US GPD, a two-year loss in average life expectancy, and hundreds of thousands of deaths in the developing world annually. But at least he doesn't trip over his words the way Biden did.

"According to our back-of-the-envelope math, that puts total attendance somewhere in the 4-6 million people range. That means roughly 1.2-1.8% of the U.S. population attended a No Kings Day event somewhere in the country yesterday."

The benefit of cutting social programs was never about saving money. The “benefit” of cutting social programs is keeping “those” people in their place. Its about making sure lower status groups can’t move up the social hierarchy ladder and challenge the “real americans.”
