If this person is not a fed, then this is a posting masterclass and I cannot help but applaud. Covid being a bioweapon made in collaboration with Epstein is a slurry of conspiracy theories that transcends left/right politics. Each post is funnier than the last.

This article is great entertainment, but it is also the press equivalent of a tweet that left the target audience. This is Portland apartment behavior but with money on the line. The bar should be a co-op; having community buy-in prevents crusty anarchists from ruining a good thing.

I do not think it is wise for Democrats to be pro-war even if you think it's some cynical PR play

I'm expecting her to say that the Iran war was unjustified, illegal, and stupid. The fact that you're framing my anti-war expectation as anti-American perfectly embodies why I said we're back in 2004. Death and destruction in the Middle East is a uniparty issue.

Sherman's March to the Erdtree @stuartpolen.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

She is. Being a little miffed that the war is taking longer than expected is still a pro-war position, especially when coupled with the initial quote. "We always root for our country under any circumstance" is not something that can be ignored

I don't think the context really does much to undo the fact that she's still cheerleading for the war.

If a Dem candidate is going to let themselves get dog walked by a Republican on something as basic as trans rights, how are they going to stand up to Republicans on anything else?

Clinton ran a center-right campaign and alienated progressive voters as a result. She lost. Harris disregarded anti-genocide Dems and trans people in her center-right campaign. She lost even harder. If you're worried your bad human rights position could cost an election, reevaluate your stance.

Transphobia should not be this popular on this platform. If I wanted to see liberals uncritically support fascist policies, I'd just go to Twitter.

There is no such thing as a "leftist," or any kind of Dem for that matter, who is a transphobic single-issue voter. The Dem candidates pandering to transphobes are courting conservatives. But ignoring all of that, why would you want TERF votes unless you are a TERF?

If the only way to fight fascism is by throwing trans people under the bus, then fascism won long before this election cycle. Capitulating on human rights failed just as hard in 2024 and 2016 as it did in Weimar. Accepting right wing framing makes you right wing.

I would be a lot more optimistic about Chicago urbanists if the space (at least on Bluesky) wasn't dominated by neoconservatives who think building housing for landlords is more important than building housing for people

Liberals treat marginalized groups as inevitable blood sacrifices required to keep the GOP from having too much power. Whether it's LGBTQ+, black Americans, or Palestinians, the marginalized are seen as nothing more than a speed bump on their way to brunch.

Not to mention that liberals backsliding on trans issues affects every LGBTQ+ person whether they acknowledge it or not. Approval for gay marriage peaked in 2023 and is 6 points lower than it was back then. news.gallup.com/poll/710810/...

U.S. Support for LGBTQ+ Issues Remains Down From Peak

Since 2021, fewer Americans have said that gay or lesbian relations and changing one's gender are morally acceptable and have favored legal same-sex marriage.

The bad news is that this rule is vague enough to only be used to coddle the few notable fascists that regularly get dunked for being dumb, wrong, or both at the same time. The good news is that those same people also dogpile others and commit reportable offenses on a daily basis

There is an injection that started trials in Japan last year. If it pans out, it can effectively cure chronic kidney disease in cats. I think a cat’s life expectancy doubles after injections, but it’s been a while since I’ve looked into it.

You know, I think that “wonk” was actually a genius coinage when you think about it: the smug think[sic]-tank-adjacent “intellectuals” it describes truly are individuals whose very conception of ‘knowing’ is on backwards. The bumptious world must bend to fit the model! Graph trumps material reality!

"John Brown Stan Account" confused as to why food gets more expensive when you remove the slavery and ensure workers are paid closer to a living wage throughout the supply chain.

John Brown stan account endorsing slavery and worker exploitation via a grocery co-op strawman.

Post 1: "I have it on good authority from a friend who lives in Pittsburgh that the East End Food Co-op is legitimately the most expensive place you can shop in Pittsburgh by a country mile. There's an Aldi three blocks away where you can shop for 1/5 the price."

Post 2: "Food co-ops are very funny to me. Can't compete on price, selection, service, ambiance, or quality, so we will compete on... ideology!"
