This is the worst season of survivor in history of all survivors. And this episode was the worst episode of survivor in the history of all episodes of #survivor #survivor49.

I am a single issue voter and that issue is I want the Republican Party in federal prison.
That rage you feel, as you watch the White House get leveled? That's how we beat Trump. Harness that, refine it, find ways to get other people equally enraged. Get them so mad they can't see straight. None of this kumbaya BS. White-hot, unreasoning anger, that demands the people who did this PAY.
Congrats. You two make a beautiful couple.
lol. I had to look up who this was. I want to know how they decided who to put on the commercial. I bet there was no shortage of contestants willing to participate. Where is @kellienalb.bsky.social? I’m pretty sure she a Mamdani supporter.
Republicans in Raleigh are drooling over the opportunity to carve up Raleigh and surrounding suburbs into 3 gerrymandered GOP districts diluted by deep red Zebulon, Louisburg, and Smithfield, NC @northcarolinagop.bsky.social
Crazy NC growth numbers here:
-Raleigh has now passed 500,000 residents
-Cary has way more people than Wilmington or Asheville
-Wendell's population grew by 73% in just four years
-Apex has more people than Chapel Hill

Somebody put this to clown music.
Nah. Redemption arc. They faked us out. Fire winner at some point.
Van Hollen is straight from central casting as the random white guy who loses the presidency.
Yeah. We try to limit executions to random fisherman in the Caribbean Sea.

Trump:

"When you have a network, and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump... They're not allowed to do that."

A complete collapse of political norms around virtue and ethics since 2016. This celebration of cruelty and violence, and the encouragement of the public to take joy in violence against others, is very unhealthy for society.
Vance on Trump's strikes on boats: "I wouldn't go fishing right now in that area of the world."
Yeah, I mean these are all lies, but I full support a peaceful national divorce. Carving out the Kingdom of New England and the Cascadia Commonwealth comprised of CA, OR, WA, and British Columbia sounds amazing.
This is why candidates like Graham Planter (Sen-Maine), James Talarico (Sen-TX), and Zohran Mamdani (Mayor-NY) are important. They come from different points on the spectrum, but they’re united in a message that cuts to the heart of resistance to MAGA: confronting & correcting economic inequality.
Trump's policies are hurting everyone except for the richest 1%.

"New Golden Age" for whom?
I want to make sure I go on the record for any past, current, & future employer:
-Kirk did not deserve to be killed
-Kirk is a POS
-Christians who posthumously elevate Kirk as a hero of their faith are either blind to his views or are aligning themselves in direct opposition to Jesus of Nazareth.
Also a long time ago: he gave the Braves some false hope the first week of his tenure when he kept hitting and Braves went on a winning streak.

James Talarico: We have a lot more work to do if we’re going to defeat the billionaire megadonors who have taken over this country, but this is an incredible start. This is truly a campaign of, by, and for the people
The more I think about it, the more the public mourning from white evangelical Christians over Charlie Kirk (a truly despicable human being)—while staying silent about yrs of political violence in America—feels like the last straw. I’m not sure I can engage with these people and not feel disgust.
All the perfunctory “political violence is bad & I don’t believe in conspiracy theories” aside—this feels like the penultimate episode where fascists sacrifice one of their own to deflect from a sex trafficking / pedophile scandal and a collapsing economy, and to justify a deeper police state.
