not great that two different Democratic House members have been physically assaulted in the span of a week

We’ll never get to join the galactic federation at this rate
Too primitive.
Every time we make something good we use it to subjugate people.

Three coffins wrapped in Danish flags are carried by 4-6 soldiers each; a cargo aircraft is in the background

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

Sports gambling isn’t killing sports in one dramatic moment. It’s all of these small moments adding up, slowly changing how fans trust what they’re watching.

On @newsnation.bsky.social:

authoritarian regimes are actually more sensitive to public opinion than democratic ones because they do not have a reliable mechanism to reset their legitimacy (ie actual elections)!

Liberalism Did Not Fail, Conservatism Did We are moving from an ideologically multipolar world, to a bipolar one.

"Regular liberals seem to be radicalizing. The Democratic primary base very much wants their leaders to fight. This is not a few fringe academics, but vast swaths of American society." www.liberalcurrents.com/liberalism-d...

There is also just a level of online unreality in play here, people have spent years shadowboxing completely fictional versions of Stancil, and are genuinely surprised that he has the beliefs and principles that he has always said he has.

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality

Andor season 1 was a slow burn and I think that’s what I enjoyed about it. The quiet contemplation of how oppression happens while people either ignore it, or dismiss it.

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all.

They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America.

They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

reactionaries discovered a way to use free speech concerns against liberal democracy. liberal democracy needs to learn about the state's instruments of coercion.

given pedocon theory is objectively true you can’t shut down one without the other

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

Bluesky posters will be like you “you think massive universal legal resistance with total support from the population works? that pales in comparison to my strategy, winning a shootout with an ICE army” and then not win a shootout with an ICE army

The 2026 American Midterm Elections: Democratic Socialism with CIA characteristics v. Redditor Fascism

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

A family member reacts after a federal immigration officer used a battering ram to break down a door before making an arrest on January 11, 2026, in Minneapolis.

Stunning photos from Minneapolis, including this one by John Locher for the Associated Press. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

I'm not taking any stance on the validity and I certainly am not here to lecture the people of Minneapolis on how to endure the unendurable, but people aren't screaming that nonviolence isn't going to work because it has no history of success, they're screaming because it does & people hate it.

and frequently in the past when such charges have been filed they've been later dismissed because they were made up bsky.app/profile/step...

i think i’m fully in on “the white house is run by thirtysomething chuds who think grand strategy games are real life”

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

scott adams accepting jesus christ at the last minute, saying he looks forward to spending eternity with him, opening his eyes and learning that jesus is black

i saw someone propose an interesting theory as to why they're doing this in specifically Minneapolis: it's a progressive city that's still small enough for them to do this type of heavy-handed occupation

there's nowhere near enough manpower to have this type of density in LA or Chicago

"Sir! This is a warning!" the agent yelled as he punched the man's vehicle window. "Stop f—king following us! You are impeding operations! This is the United States federal government!" "I live over here," the driver explained. "I got to get to my house." "This is your warning!" the officer exclaimed. "I serve the Lord; go to church," the resident replied. "I will arrest you!" the officer threatened. "Don't make a bad decision," another agent warned. "I serve the Lord," the driver repeated. "Not a draft-dodging coward." "Let these people go to church," the driver added. "Let these people serve the Lord and worship." "You're not going to like the outcome of this, sir," the first officer said. "I guarantee that... Did you not learn from what just happened [when Renee Good was killed]?" "Learn what?" the driver asked. "I serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward. I can't believe you'd take orders from a draft dodger."

it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN

crazy that Jerome Powell has more respect for his office and institutional independence than basically every university board in the country

Congratulations to John Roberts

jerome powell has joined your squad

for the next mission, “defend the federal reserve,” you have to bring Powell with you as one of your squad members, you can bring other people too but Powell is required to trigger the key cutscenes.

if you’re a high military officer and the president orders you to nuke the western alliance and destabilize the entire globe by giving you a literally deranged order to invade Greenland, I think you have a greater duty to perform before god and the world
