The Supreme Court is pretty damn evenhanded and easily the best of the three branches.

@Ag0nent I think they should make the Metaverse blatant CGI. It would be kind of like Code Lyoko, with live-action segments instead of hand-drawn animation.

Warning! This is moving fast.

Congress is rushing the KIDS Act to expand the surveillance state under the guise of “protecting kids.”

Identity checks to use the internet.

Government monitoring and control of all Americans.

It’s coming if you don’t act now.

Tell Congress: No!

@reddit_lies Sounds like the perfect place for a lot of them.

America 250 🇺🇸

@billmaher nailed it

Greatest country ever, despite its flaws

Show. Up. To. Vote. In. Primaries.

[Patrick Ganley @Patworx]

Good. I definitely don’t think we’re out of the woods yet, but this is a step in the right direction.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

Incredible.

A liberal coalition is finally forming to push back against both the far right and the far left.

This week, they launched @thepromise2026, a public pledge with 13 sitting Congressmembers and candidates signing on, openly breaking with the DSA wing while refusing to be lumped in with MAGA.

Their commitments:

"We are capitalist, not socialist."
"We want safety, not lawlessness."
"We are responsible, not reckless."
"Government should solve problems, not create them."
"We are mainstream, not extreme."
"We are proud, not ashamed of America."

This is the kind of pro-America, anti-authoritarian coalition American politics desperately needs.

More of this, please.

On Monday night in NYC I presented Larry with an award for his singular contributions to intellectual freedom. It's nice to see @bariweiss giving him the credit he is due in a much wider manner. He's a treasure indeed.

[Patrick Ganley @Patworx]

I’ll take it.

Most political compass tests are stupid and outdated, so I have created a political test that only focuses on REAL ISSUES of the 2020s. 64 questions that score you on four axes, including "Chud v Woke" and "Techbro v Luddite"

Reply with your results & tell me if it was accurate

@preta_6 I don’t even know what you’re talking about and I agree.

[Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi]

Sanders did not want to eliminate free enterprise or fundamentally change American government. I talked about this with him many times. He was hostile to corporate profiteering, but he saw himself as a populist reformer of a system worth preserving, much like Dennis Kucinich.

@thomaschattwill Bluesky is all the worst people from 2018-2022 Twitter with no one normal to numb the taste.

[Wilfred Reilly @wil_da_beast630]

Seems to me like you could ban all three, tbh.

[Larry Sanger @lsanger]

Well, that’s that—I’ve been blocked by Wikipedia “indefinitely” for unstated reasons, by the “consensus” of a mob. There was no due process, no prosecutor, no dispassionate judge, no jury, no interpretation of law. All my judges were self-selected and hated me. 🤣

@jessesingal It would be better than Newsome or AOC.

[Wesley Yang @wesyang]

It makes sense to make the public appeal so that Harvard is forced to own its abuses, its unrepentance, its commitment unto death to the made-up pseudo-science used to condemn Hooven

@ResisttheMS Superpowers can be used irresponsibly.

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

John Lennon wrote a beautiful song about socialism.

“Imagine no possessions” he told us.

He also:
– helped write his band’s anti-tax anthem, Taxman
– incorporated his IP holdings
– moved to a lower-tax country
– fiercely protected his royalties
- drove two Rolls Royce’s and had multiple luxury homes.
– made sure even the royalty cheques for Imagine were kept safe for his estate so his family would remain wealthy in perpetuity.

If he believed it, he’d have lived it. The trouble with socialism is that even the people who love the idea won’t run the experiment on themselves.

John Lennon writing Imagine while owning two Rolls Royce Phantoms and later having a law suit to protect his royalties tells you all you need to know about socialism in practice.

It doesn’t work outside of the imagination.

@Chesschick01 In a mainstream bookstore too.

@SwipeWright @buttonslives Congratulations!
