But where does Bernie come into this? What am I missing? It seems to read that Bernie folks are backing Cuomo (As a Bernie folk, I think TF not), or if not then what are Bernie folks using the rationale for? I'm confused.

Thirty-two years later, I'm shocked and horrified to discover that Billy Joel's River of Dreams was actually just a terrible album.

I'm terrified to revisit any of my other absolute favorite albums from when I was twelve. Please don't tell me anything about Zooropa. I don't think I want to know.

Uh yeah and undo everything else he did, too. At this point the White House can burn again for all I care.

I just love that we’re going back to a place where I’m going back to employers looking at me and not believing that I will literally shit myself if I don’t go to the bathroom exactly when I need to and I’m NOT taking a break in there. And crying every 3 months because I was fired again for that.

How DARE Trump say the protesters don’t represent America. Look at this great lady.

Me, I exist because of the US Air Force, I’m white, straight, cisgender, raised Protestant, got married had a kid, worked all my life, pay taxes, drink pumpkin spice lattes… I’m just not a goddamn fascist!

It is absolutely critical that this university meets with absolute fire and brimstone over this. If folks don’t make an example of them this will only happen more!! They need to be discouraged THOROUGHLY from this type of crap!!

This woman is in a nursing program & the entire textbook for her anatomy class is wrong because it was written by a professor who used chatgpt to generate the images & possibly the text. She complained to the prof, then the university— they’ve done NOTHING about it.

They also did NOT win fairly. The Republican party cannot win without cheating, so, of course, they cheat. They burnt ballot boxes, PLACED FAKE BALLOT BOXES, called in bomb threats, illegally struck democrats off voter rolls, and YES, even relied on Russian interference. And much much more.

If you claim that being anti-genocide is anti-Semitic, you can fuck off all the way into the sun.

When the hell did it become acceptable to pretend that people who oppose a literal genocide and the mass murder of CHILDREN hate Jewish people?
That is an insane, reprehensible take.

Coming Up Violets @comingupviolets.bsky.social · 4d

I’ll never understand when or how it became acceptable to pretend people hate Jews because they are against genocide. That is the most disingenuous and insane take I have ever, EVER heard.
