Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 06/10/2026So… the justification for the “excursion” is to prevent Iran from having nukes that they might use to wipe out a city. And a reasonable price to pay for that safety is… letting them wipe out a city. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Trump: "I am the best and smartest boy ever! Can someone tell me how special I am?" Fluffer: "You are wonderful, sir." Trump: "How about wonderful times infinity?" 040
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It is noteworthy that he didn’t ask to be sent to fight the Nazis. 030
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Gotta make sure only loyalists are in charge, otherwise Trump won’t be able to declare martial law to hold onto power after the elections. 010
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Respectfully, that is a proposed law which was introduced in the state assembly. Mamdani has nothing to do with it. 010
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It’s considerably more terrifying that bigoted morons like this have been elected to write our laws. 012
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 22/09/2026My kid decided in the first grade that they wanted to be referred to as "they/them." I said, "Okay, no problem" because I love my kid. People like JD Vance just want to be able to tell everyone else who and what they are supposed to be. People like JD Vance deserve to be launched into the sun. 010
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Stopped reading that statement after the "on both sides." As though both sides are experiencing a genocide. That alone makes Sheeran's stance on things pretty clear. 170
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I didn’t have “the Trump administration’s incompetence forces the world to rapidly divest from oil” on my bingo card. Would’ve definitely preferred a more-competent, less-economic-crash-y way though. 010
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Everyone in this administration operates under the mentality of "just let the big strong man take what he wants and he'll stop hurting you." 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 03/09/2026To be fair, RFK is as qualified to do that as he is to run health services. And vice versa for Markwayne. 051
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Probably around the same time we see what's in the Epstein files. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Why the f**k are we still amplifying what that woman has to say?? You really can't find anyone else to quote? 110
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 16/08/2026And we just lost war games against drones. If those billions of dollars have to go to the military (note: they don’t and shouldn’t), then maybe we should work on developing our drone warfare capabilities rather than retrofitting our big, expensive capital ships. 010
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Moderate in the streets, MAGA in the sheets. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 07/08/2026This Trump's favorite kind of math. He wanted to do this during Covid as well. Just don't count the bad numbers. Voila! We're going great! Hopefully now people finally understand that the horrible economy wasn't just because of the pandemic. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 03/08/2026The only things that are real are the things that validate his incredibly fragile ego. 001
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 24/07/2026It's incredible when idiots write stuff like this as though we're supposed to forget that "moderate" Democrats have spent the past decade losing to MAGA. 000

Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 21/07/2026If only Trump was smart enough to understand that he just described the mechanism through which wars endlessly escalate. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 20/07/2026As a former wildland firefighter, people need to understand there is little that can be done to stop large wildfires. We can dig lines and cut firebreaks if they're slow and small enough. But if they're really big, as the ones in Canada are, you just have to hold out and hope the weather changes. 010
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Maybe just let us transition away from coal and oil like we need to, if he hates massive wildfires so much. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Lindsey Graham was basically the little sidekick dog from the old Looney Toons, who bounced around whichever dog he thought was bigger and stronger, barking about all the great things they were going to do. I'd be surprised if anyone is talking about Graham five years from now, much less 200. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 13/07/2026"We had a deal [...] and then they broke up that deal immediately because they found out there was something in the deal they didn't like." THAT MEANS WE DIDN'T HAVE A DEAL, FFS. If the other side doesn't agree to the terms it's not a deal, it's just us making demands. 140
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Trump robbed the team of an amazing story. As unlikely as it may have been, if they had managed to fight through even without their star player… that’s the stuff of sports legends. Instead, he put them in a lose-lose situation: get a tarnished win or lose while the whole world hates them. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Ah, yes, Markwayne Mullin. A man so dumb he had to be given two first names just in case he accidentally lost one. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Ah, man, he's on to us. We tried to trick them into caring about other people. And we would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling sociopaths in the White House. 220
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Considering the results yesterday, Jeffries may instead want to thank Mamdani for talking Chi Osse out of running for Jeffries’ seat. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Yes it's that as well, somewhat. But I'm too old and cynical to believe we'd have this level of civic engagement if Trump wasn't such a disaster domestically. Having been to the protests for Palestine during Biden's term, the difference in crowd sizes compared to the No Kings rallies is stark. 120
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 24/06/2026The bank bailout bill was signed into law by George W. Bush, and yet the Tea Party went after Obama. They cared about fiscal malfeasance in the same way the Confederacy cared about states rights. 1110
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 24/06/2026This movement is a response to the growing authoritarian tendencies of the Trump GOP, people rising up to save Democracy. The Tea Party was a response to a black man getting elected president. 31004
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Sipping coffee and reading about all the DSA primary wins this morning has been a great mood boost to start the day. It’s a good year to be a New Yorker. I hope everyone takes some time to enjoy these victories, and then gears back up for the push to November. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Oh, I see. No, I meant the bearded guy is known as "The Baklava Guy." You can look up videos of him on Youtube. I wasn't saying he was the only one handing out baklava. 100
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 18/06/2026The bearded dude is The Baklava Guy. He does that at events. He was handing out baklava at the watch parties for the Knicks as well. 120
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Dropping bombs right in the heart of the smack of the dab. 000

Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Early 20th century Republican foreign policy: "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Early 21st century Republican foreign policy: "Speak loudly and put a big stick in the front spokes of your bicycle." 021
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 17/06/2026The usual Republican tactic: start from a baseless assumption and extrapolate outward. “Trump is a genius,” therefore everything he does is brilliant regardless of how stupid it seems. 0221
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 17/06/2026This is satire, right? This has to be satire. I refuse to believe any serious person would argue that Democrats need to try harder appeal to the right as though that tactic hasn’t been attempted many times over. Democrats need to stop moving to the right. Period. That shit needs to be done with. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I mean… I hate it.. but if I were asked to pick a visual that best encapsulates America right now, this is unfortunately it. 0280
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Just in case anyone was wondering whether Rand Paul's criticisms of some of Trump's other policies meant he wasn't as much of an a**hole anymore. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 28/05/2026I'm old enough to remember when Republicans complained endlessly about federal government overreach and how important "states rights" were. 052
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I had been so confused as to why he kept posting about "Dumocrats." Now it all makes sense. He just didn't know there should have been a B in the word. Someone must have pointed that out recently. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Your next statement should be a resignation letter. 100
Reposted by Lightly Starched CreationsNYC-DSA 🌹 @socialists.nyc · 19/05/2026Tonight is our last fundraising deadline before the campaigns enter the final Get Out the Vote phase. Billionaires like Michael Bloomberg are spending millions to keep corporate Democrats in power in Albany. We can’t let him beat us. Donate today at actblue.com/donate/slate2026. 0208
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Grassroots movements. There are a lot of us that showed up in Albany to confront the legislators to tax the rich. We haven’t gotten everything we want but we’re going to keep showing up until we do. 000
Lightly Starched Creations @lightlystarched.bsky.social · 13/05/2026By way of contrast, a little over a year ago there were attorneys resigning in protest over being pressured by the DOJ to drop corruption charges against our former mayor. It took a lot of work, but we’ve come a long way. 010
