1/ @oldmanweldon.bsky.social This atheist with a God complex thinks that celebrities should stop speaking out on issues because they're costing Democrats elections. He also claims that they "don't strike people in most of the country as sensible or in touch with reality." (Projection much?)

@radiofreetom.bsky.social If, God forbid, Trump were to invade Greenland, how likely is it that China would then invade Taiwan? And if that were to happen, would both NATO and the global economy collapse?

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.
NBC's sources said that "the potential mission in Mexico is not designed to undermine the Mexican government." But that's what it will do if the US is doing CIA drone strikes on Mexican soil over the objections of the president.

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!
It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Trump and the Republicans more broadly are highly unpopular right now. Does that seem to have restrained them, to force them to tack towards the centre, to temper their ambitions? Perhaps there is something there the Democrats could actually learn from.
The story of the last 10 years has been the establishment Democratic Party being so terrified of polls and focus groups that it has allowed the GOP to shape the national political narrative entirely according to its own ends.

I am further convinced that every pundit and journalist who’s stayed on Elon’s Nazi adjacent electronic bulletin board has had their brains completely cooked. They’re fine using the R-word. They casually joke around with race scientists. They don't even flinch at literal Nazis in their timeline.
like for every centrist pundit that says, "oh, you learn to live with this in your replies": what do you think this does to your soul

When Eric Adams, a corrupt dirtbag centrist cop, won the primary four years ago, mainstream white media was quick to anoint him as "the future" of the Democratic party. Nate Silver said he's be the party's presidential nominee.
