If you are running as a Democrat in the 2026 or 2028 elections, ask yourself, do you really want to be running to the right of Bill Kristol in terms of dismantling an authoritarian police state?

Say her name, and show her respect, you fascist motherfuckers!
The "president" will never say her name with any respect because there literally is nothing Good that ever comes out of his fucking mouth.
She was murdered, and her killer must face consequences.

btw for those who don't know why Americans with chronic illness got like 75% more stressed on Jan 1st, it is not just because all the insurance rates blew up.
On 1/1, deductibles reset. which means you have to spend some amount of money (up to $10k sometimes) before your insurance COVERS ANYTHING

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

i completely agree that this is the key problem with Bluesky discourse right now: The Circumstances are genuinely toxic right now.

go scream at an inanimate object.

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

Tim Walz is such a good and decent man. And seeing what has been done to him stirs a rage in me so strong that I can’t really grapple with it at times. I only know one way forward which is a promise to use that rage to bring about change and a return to decency.
Walz: "This is a concerted effort to try to destroy the president's opponents, to destroy the rule of law. And it became apparent to me that he was going to do that with me being there, and I just feel along with my family that it's the best decision for Minnesota."
