We have concepts of a plan

39% of them are children

Honestly the full-body disgust and horror I felt the first time I saw a post from that man, went to block who I had assumed was a random racist asshole of no consequence, and saw he was a former Gorsuch clerk and Grassley's Chief Counsel for nominations and now advises Trump on judicial nominations

This.

Also, Greg Bovino allegedly asked a reporter, “Did Judge Ellis get hit in the head by a rock like I did this morning? … Maybe she needs to see what that’s like before she gives an order like that.”

Ahh- good times

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

The Fred Trump treatment. Give him a fake job while Miller draws up missile strike plans on fishermen.

If you are of the political commentariat I don't wanna hear shit from you except how to feed people

And here I was, thinking it was just known as “breaking the law.” You’re telling me there’s a *strategy* here? Golly, I’m such a rube.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

WSJ called it "cutting through red tape" I sense a pattern

🚨We have reached the Even Peggy Noonan stage of Trump-induced fears for our Republic: "The photos of the tearing down of the East Wing were upsetting because they felt like a metaphor for the idea that history itself can be made to disappear." www.wsj.com/opinion/a-re...

Labour is in the doom loop that Democrats have been in for a while: pandering to people who hate them and will never vote for them. It’s a strategy, sure, but it’s a shitty one that leaves behind the voters who put them in power in the first place.

How George Will describes the unlawful arrest of George Retes in the Bezos Post. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

So much of "cancel culture" discourse is a re-description of the normal functioning of a democracy and public discourse by people who didn't like the results of one, or both, or how it made them feel.

"What I said was that I hate seeing minorities on TV but what I meant is that I hate seeing minorities on TV"

Again when you really boil it down, “anti wokeness” can very very often be summarized as “I’m mad a black person got a job” bsky.app/profile/hesg...

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.

Look guys we concepts of a plan

The Roman Senate continued as an exclusive social club for generations after they gave up all real authority to the Caesars.

It's not the male loneliness epidemic but a male fragility epidemic

Zuckerberg and Cook and Pichai and Ellison and Altman and Thiel have three years and a hundred billion dollars to change that

On Threads, the AP promoted this story with the caption: “Anti-abortion pregnancy centers offer much more than free ultrasounds and diapers. Here's why they're expanding as Planned Parenthood clinics close.” Do better @apnews.com

we have a way for guys like this to fund the military it’s called “taxes” and clearly they should go up

What'd I say? bsky.app/profile/emos...

It's funny, the no kings protests could be the best chace to normalize the idea of nationwide strikes in the US, if the organizers are serious. They do maybe 2 more on weekends to really lock them into people's practice, then say, "hey, let's show them we really mean business & do it on a Wednesday"

Foreign press always covered US better than the US press www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8D1dndu/

approximately seven million people were out in the streets protesting last week. these people need to grow a spine. www.ft.com/content/1377...

One of the cleverest things that Trumpists figured out is that you don’t have to kill an institution if you can make it kill itself.

This

“The department declined to answer questions about whether the donor is an American citizen or a foreign national.” Jesus Fucking Christ

Practice run for voter suppression ahead of the midterms

Percentage Hispanic population Passaic County, NJ: 42.74% Kern County, CA: 54.9% Riverside County, CA: 49.72% Fresno County, CA: 53.61% Orange County, CA: 34.1% Los Angeles County, CA: 48% What happens when Kavanagh stops meet Roberts' disdain for the VRA

I don't think that's why they're doing it, necessarily, but it is absolutely why they don't think it matters

Just keep thinking about Roddy Ho in "Slow Horses"

This is how the US create terrorists

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

the ballroom will never be built and he’ll just pocket whatever money he collects because he is a grifter first and foremost

There is enough money for everyone but the American people www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8A3XMBX/

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

This is driving me crazy. The New York Times calling this madness an “anti-drug operation” is one of the worst forms of propaganda: accepting stated motivations of powerful people as the truth.

The don't tread on me crowd, the democracy dies darkness crowd, the preserve our history crowd, all feckless cosplayers

What’s the rule? If you aren’t paying for it, you’re not the customer; you’re the product.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

In case you need a refresher on how Fetterman went from being the fave of grassroots progressives to "Trump's favorite Democrat," check out @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social's profile of the senator here:

black women, followed by jewish women, jewish men, and black men were the ONLY demographics who moved at the polls like they had any gotdamn sense at all.

Oh www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Same as it ever was.
