I’ve lately felt inclined to opine on shit a lot less. I still read who I follow and I still occasionally check up on the clusterfuck my country is becoming.
I’m keeping more of my energy for longer fork writing and I feel like skeeting can take away from that.

The autistic moment right after you congratulate yourself on getting so much of your paycheck into savings only to realize you haven’t paid any medical bills in like 3 months.

Trump: "Herschel Walker, speaking about loyal. How good a football player was Herschel? Now he's ambassador to the Bahamas. I don't know. Bahamas. Bermuda. Is he Bahamas? Whatever. It's a nice place."

Hey @gailsimone.bsky.social what’s the weirdest thing gambit has thrown when out of cards in your series?
My favorite parts of x men are when gambit runs out of cards to throw and just tries random bullshit

I know how villainized she is by the right, but this is her moment. Because if it’s her vs Trump or a lackey, she will kick ass.
from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring
You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

This is why that whole “money is speech” scotus ruling needs to go.
“.. The fundamental problem is that corporations are institutionally ill-equipped to take center stage in policy debates. They are inherently self-interested economic actors with goals that often conflict with those of society.”

Democrats should boycott the State of the Union and send Epstein survivors and people illegally detained by ICE in their place.

Trump Administration immigration authorities rolled back that access in September..."

Burn it all to the ground.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Maybe wait till people on the ground say the raiding and terror is over?
The White House says it’s over, but they also said they killed two domestic terrorists and we all know that was a lie.

I don’t expect Newsome to protect vulnerable minorities (like trans folk) and will throw us under the compromise bus for his first big legislative project
i think nominating Gavin Newsom will lose the White House again for Democrats. The party's left flank will stay home again because he's an empty corporate shell. The age of Democrats punching left to appeal to the center is over and it's now a matter of if the party as a whole realizes that or not.

Not sure what to say other than Gallego is right.
But the agents involved in the shooting were veterans in Fed law enforcement. They weren’t new recruits.
That goes to show what exists is woefully insufficient and must be torn down.

GALLEGO: Why is the agent who shot Renee Good holding a camera phone & weapon?
LYONS: The US attorney was requiring to have video leading up to arrests, so officials have used phones for that
GALLEGO: Maybe you shouldn't be trying to be an influencer and wielding a weapon at the same time
