Okay can we quit with the Meme of the DOJ doing cover-ups and redactions. There's copies, on copies, on copies of the Epstein Files. Even congress has a few copies on record so redacting all those copies is just useless. Also, backlash will happen if any tampering did take place.

The thing about Trump is that he’s a totally unreliable partner who is also dumb, impulsive, and easily manipulated. So it makes sense to play nice with him, but only if you don’t cede ideological or political ground, because you know he’s going to screw you over later.

The Mamdani-Trump summit is fun but c’mon, it’s not the vindication of the left/right-populist or red/brown alliance stuff.

its so funny when theres so much discourse internally about how the United States is like the world's policeman/piggybank, then you actually check with the rest of the world and its "please police me daddy"
people predicting a "post-American world" really over their skis
france defense chief: "we do not have that dawg in us 😔"

This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud
House Dems unite to tell GOP to stop "demonizing" trans people with "dehumanizing" slurs - LGBTQ Nation
Rep. Nancy Mace's "tra**y, tra**y, tra**y!" tirade is just one example.

IMO this is a major reason why China is frequently significantly overrated in terms of relative global economic strength during various parts of its history. On paper it is 1st in GDP in the late 1800s, but in practice most of that is subsistence and very little of it is true economic activity.

Also, modern China has an extremely poor hinterland that basically doesn’t exist in America. Yes, the US coast are wealthier than the heartland, but in China, the difference is much starker

I don't desire to have an argument about this but Chuck Schumer talks to Donald Trump about federal funding in the oval office all the time. Because it's in his job description to do so. And bluesky acts like it's time to put him up against the wall for treason every time he does so.

Shorthand: If someone expresses that US Imperialism is a stain upon the earth whose sin can never be washed clean, but Soviet or Chinese imperialism is either acceptable or just didn't happen, you're talking to a tankie.

I have heard this a lot whenever anyone posts about USAID, and I’ve just decided that anyone who badmouths USAID gets blocked on sight. Life is too short.

If you don't want to kick trans people out of bathrooms and sports to triangulate with 0.1% of voters in North Carolina OR demolish trans rights by electing Republicans because the Dems aren't sufficiently pro Palestine, you just might be a Liberal!

I don't enjoy the fact that two such prominent flavors of "the left" are "we have to be militantly centrist and fuck over as many trans people as it takes" and "we have to be militantly leftist and fuck over as many trans people as it takes"

The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

The thing about Trump saying it’s fine for Mamdani to call him a fascist is that he genuinely thinks all of this is kayfabe, just as he could insult Rubio or Cruz but still work with them. It’s not possible for him to imagine other people being sincere about anything.

JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess
