gonna be coming back to this one more than a few times

Sam Brody @samuelhayimbrody.bsky.social · Mar 3

old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

I think people might have already done that?

It’s probably the Democrats’ fault, in his lifetime they’ve only enacted Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA. They didn’t even bother to put universal healthcare into their platform until 1972, the man was already nearly an adult by then!

you bury your heads in theory and refuse to actually recognize why things ended up in the history books.

it's also very american exceptionalist. other countries have done this and a lot of it looked like lame non-violent lib shit until the regime forced the issue

I can't believe I am only -now- getting the "apex" pun

There's a fox rescue that did exactly that! The founder sadly passed away a couple months ago though, but the videos are still cute

yes although No Kings *also* had a larger proportion of the population so that doesn't actually change anything

I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area, and never once in my 40 years of life have I heard a mainstream media figure say that the right — or government generally — has any obligation to treat me as an equal citizen or human being, or in any way be protected or served by the federal government.

the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem

Perry Bacon @perrybaconjr.bsky.social · 12h

I read the piece. You shouldn't. He dismisses the "No Kings" protests as liberals in blue cities. He invokes Rosa Parks, as if rural white people in the 60s loved everything that the movement then was doing. "We need a movement but not this one" is a core centrist tact these days.

I promise you that "order of magnitude bigger" does in fact imply numbers are being used

If you find yourself saying “I think tens of millions of people gathering to say that Trump sucks is bad” congratulations, you agreed with Mike Johnson.
