people underrate the corrosive effect the regime’s open corruption is having on even completely unaffiliated candidates and institutions. The fish rots from the head down

Some folks at the Bulwark do great work, but if you subscribe be aware your money is going to people who actively want the Michigan Senate nominee to lose

i would be more hopeful if your top pundits weren’t continually trying to sink El-Sayed’s campaign for an absolutely vital senate seat. I used to subscribe to you folks for years but I unsubscribed thanks to Sarah Longwell!

yeah, the reason republicans are just not going to budge from texas is the reason why armies try not to abandon their capitals. it isn’t necessarily a strategic defeat to lose the seat of power, but it is a profound blow to morale.

it was 4 years of his staffers saying “we can’t, we don’t have the authority” while well-sourced articles revealed them fully aware that they DID have the authority and intentionally choosing not to use it, with gaza and many other matters

we also know this because it was THE modus operandi of the Biden admin. it’s only tangentially related but I remember Biden flacks like Ron Klain denying they’d even heard they had the authority to, say, fire the parliamentarian. ditto invoking the Leahy law with Blinken.

it’s funny and illustrative that 90% of comments on that post are just talking about the insipid bsky caption, which means they didn’t even click on the story

it’s not 2018 and no one is obligated to pretend a bunch of chud conservatives are principled anti-Trump voices. The current collapse of America is the natural product of their ideology, not an aberration. Unsubscribe!

it was funny when ron desantis launched his campaign there and it immediately broke and shut down. I think that was the last relevant moment and a bit of a metaphor for the state of things over there

A billionaire dictator who'll lose everything if the opposition replaces him on Jan. 20, 2029 is stockpiling killer drones and high-powered rifles on towering monuments and ballroom roofs I'm sure it's nothing to worry about

Luke @realluke1.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
also the whole thing is laughable, right? didn’t Lysenko completely deny the existence of dna or genes at all? Like the guy was a total moron and a fringe crank, and aligning with him 60 years after the fact is pointless when your headspace is ripe for RFK JR’s bullshit. Same shit different year

Luke @realluke1.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
and there’s just so much literature available on the damage Lysenko’s ideas did, and why that damage occurred — a Stalinist personality cult was primed to reject “bourgeois science” in favor of their own Party man, Lysenko. This had actual consequences for state policy you do not reckon with.

Luke @realluke1.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
this article is cool and a big swing. It’s certainly interesting that certain molecular states do, or may, carry over (FLC?) from past generations. But the central theory of Lysenkoism, that environmental characteristics *drove evolution* and were inherited utterly by offspring is still wrong!

Luke @realluke1.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
right but that’s like saying the Turk who killed himself in the court of the Komnenian dynasty in a shitty flying machine in the Middle Ages was right because of the Wright Brothers. Lysenko was wrong and the state power behind his false science got people killed. It’s out there. Go read.

Luke @realluke1.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
you didn’t read that one, because it’s paywalled. Read one, one you like, or pull it from your extensive library of such articles. Because it can’t be that you’re just a dogmatic Stalinist who can’t accept criticism, right? You know a lot about science right?

Luke @realluke1.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
so what, and according to who? Mendelian genetics is CORRECT. The argument has been had, this guy lost. Please just skip the sophistry and find me an actual reputable article in a reputable scientific journal that shows Lysenko to have been correct in his theories.
