someone better keep an eye on Lincoln sitting in his memorial alcove. Thats probably next on the orange pig’s replacement list.

Can anyone stop Trump’s teardown of the East Wing?

Many preservationists fear the answer is no. A pro-Trump review board is expected to approve the president’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom, too.

The difference between this coming recession and the covid recession and the 2008 recession is we have a government that actively doesn’t give a shit about mitigation of harm for people

And they think people will just keep taking it

serious question: what is the market case for more oil drilling given that there is an ongoing oil glut

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

yeah my actually really hot take is that voting should be mandatory for all citizens (you don't have to actually fill anything in, you can write "fuck you" on the ballot, but you get slapped with a fine if you don't turn it in at all).

Microplastics Spookmelier @leastactionhero.bsky.social · 21h

it would be better to try lowering the voting age, tbh. get kids registered in high school automatically, make voting a thing you do with your class for the first time.

There's this weird conception that extractive industry is horribly oppressed in the US and there's just vast amounts of resources it's being held back from.

That's not remotely true, and bizarrely ahistoric about how the country has developed.

Stop parsing this as if any of it isn't murderous horror. We have courts of law. And even if these cases were brought into those courts, our penalties for the trafficking of drugs are not summary execution.

Fuck what is "popular."

kcole0.bsky.social @kcole0.bsky.social · 19h

Trump implements a somewhat popular agenda, but without concern for the law.

One destroyed vessel apparently was a semi-submersible boat, likely not used for fishing or pleasure.

REGARDLESS, we should follow the law, detaining and charging, NOT MURDERING.

Who's next? The enemy within (us)?

David Simon @audacityofdespair.bsky.social · 20h

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction.

If we were a republic, I mean.

The American president is demolishing the eastern half of the White House to build a gigantic gilded ballroom while millions of government workers go unpaid during a cost of living crisis.

The politics should be *apocalyptic* for him but he really does seem immune to the laws of political physics.

Corruption goes courtside.

A screenshot of a post on X from Andrew Cuomo showing him sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden next to Mayor Eric Adams.

The tweet says: "No better way to celebrate winning tonight's debate than making it to the @nyknicks game in time for the 2nd half."

Democrats/liberals/progressives should do less “look at this guy, I bet the bigots will like him because of his surface appearance” guesswork strategizing and more “I bet this candidate would be a good legislator and communicator” straightforward principled assessing when looking for candidates.
