Anthony Kennedy:

Do I want that last 7%? Absolutely. Am I going to get it? Not a fuckin chance my friends

It took us about five minutes to spin up a fake settlement claim site capable of harvesting data, so you know if it's that easy, scammers are out there doing it, too. Wait, scratch that - we created TWO.

A new complaint from ACLU and other human rights groups details how the warden at a Lousiana ICE facility created an unofficial “work program” of manual labor and sexual humiliation for trans men at the facility. This is very hard to read. rfkhumanrights.org/wp-content/u...

I never expected to hear the phrase "warrior ethos" so much in the 21st century tbh. Still not as good as when that one judge ruled that "transgender persons can have the warrior ethos," which is a beautiful sentence.

A thing Dems really need to start planning for is how to purge the Federalist Society from the judiciary. If they’re not gone, root and branch, I don’t think even moderate reforms will ever survive.

TIL there's a huge major comedy show in Saudi Arabia happening and also that Zach Woods remains a king

A great book about libel law, journalism, and the true American monsters who fight to make it so that the rich and powerful can end free speech as we know it. Extremely well worth reading.

NEWS: Banks are paying depositors 0.4% interest while the government pays banks 4.3% - giving banks a $1 trillion windfall. McKinsey suggests banks offer rich people better rates while keeping everyone else's rates low. What stage of capitalism is this? www.levernews.com/this-is-a-re...

Skaarsinger Karmelita... you really are That Bitch.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

If you see this, post a concert pic you took (Janelle Monae, 2023)

Facebook memories keeps reminding me of this gigantic gyro I got in 2016, so here you go I guess

Iger did the right thing with Kimmel and MAGA, because when Disney caves to autocrats, we have to live with it for a long time. My new piece for @thenation.com on Disney, Scorsese, "Kundun," Eisner, and the pop culture erasure of Tibet. www.thenation.com/article/cult...

First they got rid of DEI and I said fuck this and dropped my subscription. Then they kept getting worse and worse. My fellow Trekkies, it's time to ditch them. Our Star Wars fans cousins showed us what theyre made of. They'll never get another dime of my money. Trekkies Against Fascism. 🖖🏻❌️👑

i'm 800 free subscribers away from a huge milestone for the handbasket. think we can do it? www.thehandbasket.co/subscribe

In case you needed ANOTHER reason to cancel Paramount Plus (you know, besides making racist transphobe Bari Weiss head of @cbsnews.com or saying they won't work with actors who support Palestine), they're just broadcasting unedited Israeli pro-genocide propaganda now. www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

They’re destroying our history!

From yesterday and today: it certainly appears ICE in Chicago are wearing the Meta AI Ray-Ban glasses.

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

EXCLUSIVE: The BBC has drawn up plans to win over Reform voters by changing its news and drama output. BBC Director General Tim Davie and other execs discussed altering "story selection" in order to win the "trust" of supporters of Nigel Farage bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

This is absolutely evil what the fuck "The former stepdaughter, whom he was accused of touching when she was 4, said she had a child with him when she was in her 20s." "In 2022, their son — then about 5 — said he had been groped by his father"

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Political advice, courtesy of CMAT's "Euro-Country" Never stop hounding your politicians.

you did the meme!

may thy nails chip and shatter💅

the biden administration suspecting and proving that homan would take a bribe and then being unprepared to take the next step and just letting him walk away with $50k for doing nothing is so on the nose it just doesnt feel real

basic purity tests are good, actually, and anyone that suggests sacrificing people’s rights to gain power is not interested in using that power to benefit anyone but themselves. they are as much of an enemy as stephen fucking miller

The offer made to women in the enticement to become trad wives is the same as the offer made to citizens in the enticement to embrace authoritarianism: give up. Abandon the aspiration to self rule. It’s imprisonment recast as rest and relief.

what movie do you consider "perfect?"

Covid is gonna shape American politics for years and years because it was the first time most Americans were asked to make sacrifices and they lost their minds because of it.

When you lay it all out like that...

it was literally in a bag www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

God, having a crush on a friend is miserable. Actually, having a crush is miserable. I’m too old for this. Let me wither away in peace.

Turns out it was a bad idea to fund little armies that hate you in every locality

Crazy how all these “lifelong democrats” popping up happen to follow Curtis Yarvin

Hey all Sorry for putting this up yet again, I need some help buying food and paying some bills, I'm not in a good situation at the moment which I'm trying to get out of as most of you know so If you can spare any tips to help me out that would be amazing. www.buymeacoffee.com/robotwig Thanks 🙏

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

I truly don't understand how democratic leadership think they are going to move forward after voting to honor a white nationalist who essentially called Black women—the base of the party—stupid. It's insulting. I find it personally insulting.

her name couldn’t really be WILL OBEY

I'm so Ashley St. Ives-pilled.

the list of conditions that qualify you is fairly extensive, but may I suggest a simpler route: lying seriously, I just checked the “I’m eligible” box online when scheduling and the pharmacist didn’t ask me shit, they just gave me the shot

Aaron Bushnell self-immolated in protest because as *active service military personnel* he saw the genocide being carried out with the tacit approval and material support of the US. And we all had to hear that he was crazy, if we heard about it at all. Where’s his fucking day of remembrance?

Not everyone can always cancel things during a boycott, but if you can, today is a perfect day to terrorize the shit out of Disney. Do it for a week. Or be like me (the person described in the follow up post) and cancel b/c you forgot you were subscribed. Then make sure to tell them why. I did.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.
