Are all the people who complain that Democrats don't fight back going to show up in November to give the Democrats the *power* to fight back?

There's a lot I don't understand about the USA. Right now, I don't understand why people aren't physically trying to stop construction of the bunker. You know that they are going to take sanctuary there while they wage war on you, right?

A great critique of the DSA by the smartest man on the Internet.

I sincerely hope that all the anti-Democratic Party people on Bluesky had a terrible day today and that tomorrow is even worse.

Just catching up.

"Centrist" is the new RINO, but applied to left-leaning moderates, right?
August 15, 2026 at 4:21 AM
If you use the term "centrist" I will not take your comments seriously. It is a derogatory term that serves little descriptive purpose. Likewise "establishment", which is just a synonym for "deep state". Life is too serious for that lazy bullshit.

I would never support a politician who doesn't have a sense of humour.

Sr Lorraine Garasu leads an organisation that operates just under 50 safe houses for women fleeing violence in Bougainville, and provides back up services to support these people. She is a legend. She needs some help right now. If you can, please assist. www.postcourier.com.pg/bougainville...

I will never understand why the threat of catastrophic climate change hasn't been the most important issue for everyone over the last 20 years. I don't even bother anymore, it's far too late to do anything about it now or to even lessen the impacts.

Among the documents released by the White House tonight is this claim that Colorado's voter registration rolls were "compromised" by China.

Colorado's voter registration rolls are public records. You can order a copy here: www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/electio...

As the Mid-Terms draw closer, expect to see a HUGE uptick in the number of people trying to discourage voting by spreading "both parties are the same" or "voting doesn't change anything" type messages.

They know that the only way for the GOP to survive is for most Americans to fail to vote.

Carlson and Owens in cahoots with Cenk and Anna to attract disillusioned maga and p**estine first vote. Platner an early cadidate?

I find it interesting that there were constant protests aimed at "genocide Joe", but now? Crickets. Where are all those outraged college students at?

Early July in subtropical Australia and I am already dreading and preparing for a brutal summer over 26/27. Each winter seems like it might be the last.

I never realised how many horrible people there are in the world before social media.

It's hard to understand why devastating climate change, an existential threat to us all, is not on most people's radar. The current regime in the USA really put the kibosh on preparation and mitigation. Well, I am sure that THEY are preparing to look after themselves (see Bunker/Ballroom).

I think the confusion is on purpose. Supporting America 250 is giving in the finger to Freedumb 250.
Congress created the United States Semiquincentennial Commission, d/b/a "America 250," that was supposed to be in charge of the commemorations. Trump ransacked and sidelined it, and imposed his own "Freedom 250" partisan personality cult shitshow. That's the org that's taken over the Mall.
