I LOVE kettlebells, such a great workout. Nice work!

Give me the confidence of a mediocre white man. And give this guy his binky.

And this is why so many Minnesotans are pretty “meh” about voting for her. She’s establishment/status quo all the way, and definitely hasn’t been meeting the moment. Hopefully we can upgrade her seat to someone who isn’t so complacent.

Yeah like, that should have been the end of the punishment. It’s the least they could do really.

And many of those who are voting by mail are dropping their ballots off rather than mailing them back.

I’m already trying to figure out how to avoid the reporting on how many people stream it. I continue to be disheartened by how many people seem to be ok with the rabid bloodlust of this administration.

I can scarcely imagine a more un-Christian thing than live-streaming an execution for the public.

The bloodlust of this administration should be something we all agree is horrifying. The fact it’s not is one of the reasons I don’t have many relationships with Trumpers anymore.

I can never decide if he understands that he’s embarrassing himself or if he’s oblivious to it. Either way I’m not surprised in the slightest that he landed on that list.

I wish more people understood this, or maybe that more people cared about how important this concept is. What this admin is doing goes so far beyond partisan politics it’s stunning that a single person will vote for R’s this cycle, let alone the millions who will without hesitation.

And when I say Elon Musk is stupid, this is why? How do we get Tesla? Basic Research. How do we get Starlink? Basic Research. How do we get Space X. Basic Research. And it is basic research, done by every color, creed, and gender, coming to the United States as students and migrants.

You’re spot on. It’s the dream world they envision for themselves and they assume (or are too far removed from reality at this point) that it’s what everyone wants.

I honestly think he understands he’s nearing the end of life and it’s at least partially to blame for the rush to leave his mark all over DC.

It’s no coincidence that the far right is gaining power across the world given how authoritarian-curious our tech overlords are, but it’s so discouraging that although they call out and see how horrible this experiment has been in the US, yet these movements continue to gain steam worldwide.

I’m pessimistic about the odds of taxpayers recuperating any of the money this admin has pilfered or wasted via incompetence, but I do think that owners of the media that have played these ads could regain some (very small amount) of our trust by doing something decent with that money.

Trump administration considers building baseball park in Grand Teton National Park
Major League Baseball contacted the administration about hosting a game in a national park, with an agency official scouting Grand Teton as a possible location.

If it’s hard to win when you can’t cheat, you probably shouldn’t have been in the game to begin with. I have about zero faith the Dems will hold anyone accountable (to the extent they are able), but this fucker deserves to rot in jail for the rest of his life.

Every single person in this administration is so out of touch with the world most of us live in, it’s hard to believe a single person supports them - let alone an entire cohort of voters. This will never not be astonishing to me.

Also curious to see if them distancing moves the needle at all. In an ideal world voters would see that move for what it is, but I’ve given up trying to understand the electorate

Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump. They mostly capitulated and are benefiting from being the other party in a two party system, I don’t have any positive expectations for them.

I’m not sure why I don’t see trans rights framed this way more often, but this is exactly what it boils down to. Trans humans deserve to live their lives as freely as any of the rest of us, and that is a hill I will die on.

A Supreme Court majority thanks to two of our worst presidents should be ripe for elected Democrats to take on as in need of reform. Yet, I think too many still think they are required to approach it gingerly, as if it's meeting its lofty ideals and not a muddy appendage of a broken party.

@joanwalsh.bsky.social watching you on @arimelber.bsky.social and came to follow immediately. Thank you for pointing out that some establishment Dems/pundits do not understand how pissed off people are. They are harming the party by speaking out against progressive and DSA candidates.

The messaging from local PDs has been very successful in convincing people that Moriarty has made Minneapolis in particular so much more dangerous. Not sure why we still don’t understand that if cops are complaining about something, we should at the very least do additional research.

At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.

I’m not sure how much louder the electorate can get. Party leadership is completely missing the moment by insisting on maintaining the status quo. We are demanding change as though our lives depend on it - because they do. Nat’l Dems are fools if they don’t get on board.

The problem with this (besides the bigotry) is that R’s move the goal post 100% of the time. Dems concede on trans athletes in sports, next it’s existing at all as a trans human. This community needs all the love and support they can get right now, not a “compromise” on how they’re allowed to exist
