My last comment and this is me talking to myself also and as well… we gotta get moving friends. And it’s not to lose weight or whatever … that’s nice, but it’s to have good quality of life when we do make it past 60. When you see 80 year olds dancing its cause they have stayed active

Current Supreme Court Justices John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh were ALL lawyers for George W. Bush/Republicans during the Florida recount fiasco in 2000.

You’ve been bonding so well with your Pokemon. A mysterious trainer takes note of this, and gives you a mega stone of your choice!

What stone do you pick?

Tomorrow, SCOTUS will hear arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, a major threat to (what remains of) the 1965 Voting Rights Act. But this isn't the first time the VRA has faced dire threats; in 2013 and 2021, SCOTUS weakened other provisions. We can learn from those why Callais could be so dangerous 🧵

No. This is hog water social media bullshit amplified by capitalism and the way we’re told to engage with higher education.

The blame for college expenses should be placed on state and federal refusal to subsidize tuition costs. And no, it’s not administrative bloat - public workers SHOULD BE PAID

No. The majority of people who go to college benefit from it socially, economically and especially intellectually.

Atlanta finishes the game with a 44% pressure rate on Josh Allen.

That's his highest pressure rate of the season, and the only game in which he's faced pressure more than 30% of the time.

You just rewrote history. Lieberman threatened to kill it and what we got was the compromise

Lois Weiner @drloisweiner.bsky.social · 1d

He's rewriting history here: He didn't try to get the votes, pushed his "compromise" so Dems could keep getting big bucks from big pharma.

I remember that. Republicans and some Dems were foaming at the mouth at the very suggestion of a single-payer healthcare plan. In fact, the initial version of the ACA had a public option in it. Joe Lieberman killed it by threatening to filibuster the whole bill.

OBAMA: “Better’s good… we’re not gonna get to perfect. Do I think single-payer with no profit motive would’ve been smarter? Absolutely.”

President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll

He fundamentally does not believe liberalism or "the Left" could authentically exist in America without some sinister "globalist" elites propagating these essentially foreign ideas from the institutions (federal agencies, universities...) they have taken over and turned into "leftist" power centers.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 2d

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

White people are relearning the concept of intimate community care and relationships due to the Fed cuts.
Mind you this concept of fed workers helping each other wasn’t news when mostly Black women were getting fired and “offered” early retirement.
