Stop Trump disappearing people. Stop ICE. Stop Elon. Stop the genocide. Free Palestine.

Sometimes it really feels there are only two camps here:

1. "What? This is horrible? This isn't us, America [meaning U.S.]."

and

2. "What? The U.S. has always been like this bad. Nothing's changed."

Like we can go from bad to worse and still complain about it getting worse!

"Israel's former top military lawyer, who admitted to leaking a video apparently showing Israeli reserve soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner at the Sde Teiman torture prison, was arrested late on Sunday following her disappearance."

"Meanwhile, the soldiers seen sexually assaulting and abusing Palestinian detainees are still free," said one Palestinian observer.

Also worth mentioning that in politics, in order to get stuff done, you often have to compromise, but you aren't supposed to compromise IN ADVANCE. You have to have actual principles you come with. When you pass legislation that gives you some gains and your opponents some gains, you can compromise.
I can definitely agree with you on them needing to wallow in obscurity!
They may be transphobes, but I think they did it for political reasons mainly—their cowardly political instincts were just terrible, like Harris thinking the Liz Cheney tour would help her win. Newsom thinks going anti-trans will win him conservative votes (it won't).
It's amazing how many supposedly progressive people in the U.S. say "believe the science" and "expertise matters," until the experts reach a consensus that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and then suddenly "it's complicated" and "in dispute."
Interesting how the people who are all "We need RTO to support the downtown economy with lunches and shops" aren't also saying "We need to stop mass laying people off so people have jobs to actually spend on the economy." 🤔

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations.

Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.
From September 2024, when Judge Merchan didn't want to sentence Trump before the election, as that might affect the election results, but not sentencing also affected the election results by allowing Trump to be considered a non-criminal candidate...

Merchan, Garland, and Comey can burn in hell.
While we're talking about judges responsible for Trump facing no consequences, can we talk about how Juan Merchan is also largely responsible for this shitshow we're in?

I remember when liberals were having a big sad about Trump firing Comey. What the fuck? Comey is largely responsible for Trump's election in 2016! These same folks said "don't worry—Garland will get him," and Garland did jack shit. These are the same folks who in 2017 said to read Hillbilly Elegy 🤮.

This is Sarah and Fadi Shakshak. They were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza two nights ago, during the ceasefire.

That night alone, more than 100 Palestinians were killed, among them 46 children and 20 women.

Reminds me of prominent Democrats being wholly against defunding the police and, in fact, increasing funding to the police, and then when there's a single crime anywhere, it's "See? We shouldn't have defunded the police!" 🤦‍♀️
Very few places in the U.S. have robust public transit (by the automotive industry's design!), and yet society judges financially struggling people for... having a car.
Questioning whether Trump/Musk rigged the election doesn't make you the same as QAnon.

They didn't just question. They insisted after multiple investigations, audits, and court cases.

It is okay to ask for an investigation into election results, when the "winner" of the election is a known cheat.

All the people defending the Nazi tattoo are telling on themselves and when someone tells you who they are, believe them

When he becomes another Fetterman, they’ll whine and complain like we didn’t tell them what’s what
Almost inevitably, a white liberal pundit who finds a way to “hear out” or “find commonalities” with white supremacists eventually starts saying depraved shit. I need to understand why that’s not the last strike for white people that it is for Black political observers.
No one should vote for Newsom in the primary.
I can't fault you for it, and especially in 2025, Democrats should know people like you exist and are worth wooing instead of trying to get the Cheney crowd.
If it came down to Newsom v. a Trumpy presidential candidate in 2028, I'd vote for Newsom, but there's absolutely no reason in 2025 to be defending Newsom's nonsense. Newsom is not the nominee.

It's 2025 and no primaries for 2028 have happened. Why are so many on Bluesky talking as if Gavin Newsom is the presumptive Democratic nominee?

Bag on him. Call him out on his shit. But don't give him anything he didn't earn (like the presidential candidate nomination).

A reminder that if you’re progressive, you don’t get to pick and choose which vulnerable groups you support. You actually need to support them all. Palestinians, disabled ppl, trans ppl. Everyone. That’s how this works 🫶🏻
hey just an fyi if you see someone at your anti-authoritarianism event advocating for palestine, don’t be like this lady who doesn’t understand that the u.s. government is funding a genocide led by a deranged authoritarian government abroad.

it’s not a good look. please stop doing this.
Why can't I type properly? Should be "if NYT felt the immediate effects of..."
It'd be great if NYT felt seem immediate effects of their bullshit "journalism."

It'd be great if everyone going to a No Kings protest (and even those not going) canceled their subscriptions to the New York Times and Washington Post. I guarantee you there are a lot of these folks still subscribed. Take that money and put it to ProPublica and 404 Media. That would move the needle
Makes sense to me. If the police don't start violence at the protest, there will be no violence at the protest.
What's extra disgusting about this is the Israeli hostages whose remains can't be found are almost certainly hostages Israel itself killed through its mass-bombing campaign to slaughter Palestinians in Gaza.
