Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

if i want water from the sink, i have to turn on the faucet. if i want to ride my bike, i have to pedal and engage the gears. there is a mechanism. my point is that there is no *mechanism* by which elections can be canceled. it's not about norms, it is about how things work.

I find it clarifying to rethink of "polarization" as "Does either party support civil rights for Black Americans?"
Polarization has historically been highest when one party does and lowest when neither did. The party that supports equal rights in a democracy isn't the one that's obligated to change

We need less research framing the problem facing our country as "polarization" and more research framing the problem as "anti-democratic radicalization".

There’s no way Tim Walz dropping out of the race for a 3rd term has nothing to do with Republicans threatening to kill his whole family like they did one of his state’s representatives

Democratic leaders should be out there right now saying that the reason that they won't release all the Epstein files must be because they show that Donald Trump is a pedophile. Make that the spin.

Yeah I'm SUPER shocked the DOJ is violating the law and not releasing all the Epstein files. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED they'd continue to protect pedophiles??
Everyone. Everyone guessed.

Because it is my lot in life, Trump can’t change the name of the Kennedy center. It needs to be authorized by Congress.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

There are four leaks to plug for Trump: the survivors, Ghislaine Maxwell, the Epstein Estate, and the 1000+ FBI and DoJ employees he locked in a building and forced to remove his name from the files.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.
