James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars.

Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

Buzz Grambo is on bluesky if you'd like to give him a follow and/or shout out!

@buzzgrambo.bsky.social is another #AltCitizen finding their best way to resist and committing.

Not everyone is able to do what he does, so we're thankful for those like Buzz who put themselves out there.

Watching Karoline Leavitt spew her usual misinformation and divisive nonsense makes me wonder, why isn’t there a People’s press secretary?

Someone who stands at a podium, tells the truth, and gets covered too.

Democracy deserves balance, not propaganda.

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

ICE is building a 24/7 social media monitoring program that would scan Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and dozens of other platforms. Private contractors would turn public posts into enforcement leads fed directly into government databases. buff.ly/gXCFJBl

Is it just me or is there still a massive wildcard despite several Dems losing their spine? The House still has to return, Grijalva still has to be sworn in, and that will lead to a vote on the Epstein files. Am I missing something?

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

America had normal elections across the country today. An unpopular president’s party suffered a rebuke at the polls in sign that our system of democratic accountability still works.

The dangers to that system are real and remain, but our democracy is not dead yet.

It’s on us to keep it that way.

I'd really like to see all the former presidents get together and on behalf of the People of the United States file a civil action against the current to stop the destruction of public property at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, DC.

Why does everyone imagine that what creative people want (and I use that term broadly to include most "skilled" intellectual labor) is to replace their creative process with a machine?

I'm sorry to put this in the framework of toxic masculine ideology and languages but I cannot help, in the most 90s way possible, but notice that everyone in this administration is such a fucking pussy that it's embarassing for everyone.

Been rereading old posts that I & others wrote on October 7. This thread was from November 2023, just one month after the attack. It contains thoughts that have haunted me since, and will for many years to come, I suspect.

It’s about the role of graphically violent images & echo chambers of gore 🧵

Really sick of hearing @booker.senate.gov talk about “standing up” & not capitulating on @jenpsaki.msnbc.com

Cory, we haven’t forgotten your votes to confirm Kushner’s criminal daddy and the bs GENIUS bill. Just another slimy politician!

Jen, why don’t you ask him about those votes next time!?

Driving a car requires training and a license, and then each car is registered to a specific owner. Why is it such a radical idea to do the same for guns?

When he actually does finally die, no matter how it happens, the conspiracy theories about it will live on long past we’re all dead. No doubt about it. That’s so fucking annoying to realize.

🧵 Authoritarianism, Democratization, and Coalition Politics.

The consensus around here is, more or less, that the United States is currently a consolidating authoritarian regime controlled by a mix of reactionary populists and fascists.

Tonight is one of the funniest in BlueSky history. I love how everyone is leaning into it hardcore like “fuck it, let’s get ridiculous”. We deserve it.
