I just can’t stop singing the life of a showgirl, but I can’t unhear “all the hedgehogs on the walls…” like she is not singing headshots. She is singing hedgehogs. I’m sure of it.

This generational trauma ICE is inflicting will reverberate for longer than we realize, in ways we can only begin to imagine.

When you see how excited Trump, Russ Vought, and Republicans are about the government shutdown, it becomes pretty obvious the reason why they refused to negotiate a compromise with Democrats is because they wanted this and they completely own this, regardless of their lies.

This thread plainly explains why facism is the word that meets the moment - not just some inflammatory pejorative that gets thrown around.

The 12-foot statue depicts the president holding hands with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein showed up at the capital. "We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his 'closest friend' Jeffrey Epstein.”

Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.” Michael Rivero

The argument is: We're all meant to sacrifice a bit, so that tariffs can help rebuild American manufacturing. Let's ask American manufacturers whether they're helping.

I don’t know if this qualifies as spilling the 🫖 But release the damn Epstein files already.

@govwesmoore.bsky.social gloves off! Keep it up!

"Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this." -- email from Felix Sater to Michael Cohen about Donald Trump in 2015 -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020) hidinginplainsightbook.com

i think the correct way to think about the lonely boy question is not "how do we reach out to incels?" but "how do we make sure that a teenage boy looking for romantic advice isn't flooded with right-wing propaganda?"

What a blessing it is to try in your own way to make a difference in the world. What a gift to have such an opportunity.

I have so many questions. Is there a court in the UK, devoted to hearing Harry Potter star related cases? Is suspension of driving privileges typical for driving 8 mph over the speed limit? Are Harry Potter stars subject to stricter driving regulations than the gen pop? amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/07/...

I’m old enough to remember when racial profiling was a bad thing

"I sure as hell don’t think it was God’s plan for local officials to somehow not have implemented an effective warning system in the past 40 years, even with constant reminders that it was needed." @charlotteclymer.bsky.social with a banger of a post here

May every single human being on this planet be safe. May every single person be protected from harm. May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

FUN FACT: Franklin Roosevelt had to seek approval from Congress to respond to the attack on Pearl Harbour

The cost of Trump’s birthday parade put into perspective at Philly’s #NoKings, created with @indivisiblephl.bsky.social.

I am watching @nicollewallace.bsky.social on MSNBC and as a therapist, I just really hope she has a good therapist and/or a rage room in which she can scream and smash plates after she goes off the air.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

This is U.S. Army Sgt. Colado with a message "We serve the people of the United States, the Constitution. These constitutional rights are being stripped and just denied. And the military will not be pawns to that." I'm thankful for her bravery She is knowingly violating the UCMJ to stand up

real bummer finding out that literally everything was on the honor system this whole time

There is so much history happening, if you're a future historian please tell everyone I said aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa thank you

DJT posts via truth social that his memecoin is a tracker of his success. Objectively true. Because his definition of success is not making America great or helping people or defending the constitution. HIS ONLY GOAL IS TO ENRICH HIMSELF.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives: www.404media.co/teachers-are...

Therapist voice: I can see how much it means to you that Taylor Swift now owns her life and her work. What would it look like for you to own your own life? #TherapistSky

He literally spent $291 million to elect a convicted felon.

I support good mental health. Therapy is great. Hell, I've been on Wellbutrin recently. We shouldn't stigmatize it. We should talk about it. Depression happens. But there's getting well and then there's taking ketamine doses that would tranquilize a horse while making major governmental decisions.

This morning, like every morning, US President will wake up: paint his face orange, clip on his comical wig, put on a big floppy tie & oversized suit & weird platform shoes, and will go out in the world to steal as much money has he can while undermining US national security & economy & democracy.

Sketchy links, I click those Free dollars, I get those Clickbait pics, I save those Endless scrolls, I crave those The rush is a thrill to me The likes, the fake company Lost in screens, I fail to see The life I had slipping from me #poetry

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

Starting to think that bombarding people with content designed to make them ill-informed, angry, and antisocial for hours upon hours a day has been a real disaster for society and possibly not one we can come back from in our lifetimes

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

At this point I'm honestly just calling my reps and bluntly saying you're old between the two of us I'm the one more likely to survive an ecoli infection. Maybe do something about this.

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

Fight for freedom, save America. #HandsOff

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

To recap, in the past 24 hours Trump’s team: - Denied the existence of the Signal chat - Admitted it exists but called the story a hoax - Claimed nothing confidential was shared - Has refused to release the messages - Now blames journalists for hacking it

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

it is grimly hilarious that, given the immense, decades-long fetishization of "leadership" and "leadership skills" in business-oriented academia and politics, even unto the formation of leadership institutes, there should turn out to be no leaders in any positions of power

Re Zelensky at the WH, yet again, feminists and trauma/abuse- informed thinkers are years ahead of political analysts. There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.

I cannot explain how much I want monica lewinsky and taylor swift to have a sit down conversation about the trauma of public shaming, losing your voice and reclaiming it again, and the torture of being under media scrutiny
