👀 NASHVILLE COP TO TN TROOPER: “I don’t care who you are, touch me again I’m gonna lock you up.” Speaker Sexton’s speeding (30mph over) detail refused to pull over, then got in the officer’s face. Our GOP supermajority thinks laws don’t apply to them. Full: www.wkrn.com/news/body-ca...

I have lived within about a mile of the shore of one of the Great Lakes since I was 18. I run at the lakefront every other day year-round, watching the lake change with the weather. The first 12 pages of this book have already told me a ton of things I didn’t know about how their water behaves.

People have historically, and rightfully, seen the evil of Guantanamo, Abu Gharib, and now CECOT for what it is, but I wish more people would also see the evil in our domestic prisons too. How we treat our most vulnerable, including prisoners, really sets the tone for our whole society.

I have repeatedly heard from Russian (not US) sources that in meetings with Witkoff, Russian negotiators have repeatedly requested that Russian émigrés in the US be arrested and sent back to Moscow as offerings—Harvard biologist Ksenia Petrova is one, Garry Kasparov is another. Witkoff never says no

maybe this is bluesky material - yellow pencils are racist. (in the late 1800s brands wanting to be associated with a recently-discovered and supposedly high-quality siberian graphite mine caused a fad for "oriental" names and the color yellow.)

corporate oligarch media outlets reporting on the malfeasance of other corporate oligarch media outlets isn’t the way out of this btw. give your scoops to independent reporters.

60 Minutes, dead at 57. The murder weapon was Bari Weiss.

I suspect that what's gonna happen is Bari Weiss will be quietly sidelined (if not fired) but the descent of CBS News into conservative propaganda will continue under whoever runs it next all the same because that's what the owner of the network wants.

Bluesky's trending list could use some non-robotic guidance

Amendments to the constitution should be viewed as the TRUEST parts. The original document was drafted by unelected, self-appointed reps, however well-meaning. Amendments were drafted and adopted by reps of elective government, actually accountable to the people.

I've been wondering whether this is an instance where the facial recognition tool they're using is overriding paper records for some reason.

Sorry guys. If you had actually been “our own” instead of getting friendly with our enemies trying to kill our neighbors and our families, maybe you wouldn’t be getting attacked now, food for thought. www.cnn.com/2025/12/21/p...

Towers, who is not a social scientist, does not have a PhD, and has never been involved in “doctoral education”, wants to remake a storied center of graduate social research into a Silicon Valley Ideology trade school staffed with adjuncts and devoid of research or researchers

I promise you with absolute 100% certainty that we are not going to lose the House because Dan Goldman gets primaried from the left

On the next Bank of America” “Things that Matter” town hall, we will bring on Marco Rubio and Erika Kirk to debate who should Republicans run for President in 2028.

You know who's even more irked? is Democratic voters who have been screwed over once too often by disgraceful fake-left DC Democrats. I for one can't wait for @bradlander.bsky.social to take Goldman down

why is it always “I’m against nuclear war so I think Ukraine should surrender” and never “I’m against nuclear war so I think states shouldn’t threaten nuclear war”

They're Cassandras who smelled fascism all over Trump. trib.al/gxiwZva From janitors to Wall Street bankers to delivery drivers. Much has been made of the cross-class nature of Trump’s strongest support. That the same is true of his strongest opposition is far less discussed.

MAGA lever på konspi om Big Pharma. Likevel kan Trump ha 14 av 17 Big Pharma CEOs på besøk og hylle hver enkelt for deres "Great company", mens han presenterer planen for å redusere medisinpriser i USA uten å redusere inntektene til dem bevegelsen hater mest. Og det er ok for dem, de er fascister.

He sounds like Neville Chamberlain. He described Czechoslovakia in 1938 as follows: "a quarrel in a far away country, between people of whom we know nothing." Statements like this from Rubio basically ensure Europe can’t count on US in case of Article 5 invoked.

Those new to Bsky need to be made aware of one of the greatest skeets ever, deleted long before its time.

I find I only have a single penny. Where do I turn it in?

Ben Shapiro is used to being around conservatives who make tasteless jokes about Jews, & assuming that’s as deep as the antisemitism goes. These deep cut tropes coming into wider circulation on the right now are the sorts of things people say who have had conversations about murdering lots of Jews.
