Why do schools need bonds if they are publicly funded, how does this system of school funding create debtor schools? Who are our public schools indebted *to*, anyway? (Hint: You're not gonna like the answers) @debtcollective.bsky.social

Google's new global ID registration system means more risk for developers, and fewer options for users. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Sorry to do litmus tests but I want candidates who understand and say out loud that the big tech industry is a hive of evil charlatans who get rich pumping poison into the world

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

School vouchers but for cancer treatments

i think this is the one that convinced me. he's really losing it. his mind and his sauce, all at once. this is incoherent, firstly. secondly, even his superfans arent dumb enough to think that a thousand buck check or whatever is fine for buying healthcare services retail out of pocket

it seems like he's talking about giving the premium subsidies back to taxpayers but the subsidies are already in the form of tax credits? and okay let's assume that money is given to people. is he proposing they buy eg an MRI with it? or insurance? if the latter then what have we accomplished

and i thought his understanding of Grocery was bad

NEW: Why didn't Orleans Sheriff Susan Hutson meet a deadline for filing a campaign finance report? @jsodonoghue.bsky.social reports the sheriff said it's because her attorney was incarcerated. lailluminator.com/briefs/orlea...

look man one very consistent feature of concierge access to politicians is that you have to be current on your subscription, and rather than renewing you mailed in what appeared to be a bag of dog shit you had already (?) lit on fire

Hundreds of Louisiana public officials and their family members will soon be able to remove their home/work addresses from campaign finance reports. This will make it harder to figure out who is making political campaign contributions. #lalege lailluminator.com/2025/11/07/l...

this is why entergy is building 50 new gas fired power plants

This reminded me of this classic post except that everything has gotten far far dumber and more made up

Sam Altman will die in prison for this. If he's lucky.

lmao

holy frijole "we need to stay in power in order to avoid prison" damn

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

it's going great

This means if you are in the habit of saying things like "fuck Trump" or "I hope Cheney burns in hell", probably a good amount of your feed isn't seeing those posts because, unbeknownst to them, Bsky has shielded grown adults from "rude" "threats" like this.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Let it unleash a thousand memes. I call this one: "Donald Trump stands idly by while the American economy passes out in a corner."

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE MUST CREDIT: Lunch for jurors in the “sandwich guy” trial are a variety of sandwiches, according to a source familiar with lunch.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Sometimes you have to do it. I mean just for like maybe half a block or something. When the traffic forces you there. Or there's a big gaping pothole in the bike lane (if there even is a bike lane.) But get back in the road as soon as you can. And, you know, slow down.

I'm surprised we hadn't heard more about this sooner. Seemed like an obvious thing that would happen.

I'm envisioning checks going out to every business who paid a tariff. The consumers they passed it on to, though... well... www.npr.org/2025/11/05/n...

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

The Reddit community r/Democrats has a conspicuous absence of any news about Zohran Mamdani today. But that's by design. The moderators have rules that ban people from talking about democratic socialists. www.reddit.com/r/democrats/

This is also the problem New Orleans faces with its budget crisis www.inthered.org/p/zohran-won...

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Dear corporate media: As you keep repeating the BS that with Zohran winning it will help GOP define Democrats as "communists" remember that Trump for years repeatedly called Joe Biden a "communist" and a "Marxist." Yes that Joe Biden. So when you report on Trump's lies give context!

I tried this tonight on Twitter but they just told me #actually Spanburger winning proves them right. It's like I've been saying, these are not arguments you can ever win. We're all just locked here like this forever.

Here is the thing about this night and many other election nights like it. Whatever you think the "lesson" might be, I guarantee the people you spend all day arguing with have their own ideas about that too and they are different from yours. And the number of them is the same as it was before.

really obvious now why trump and the republican party have been working so hard to prevent fair elections lol they know

I know it won't happen but a part of me I'm not proud of is absolutely fiending for stories of people who lived on the Upper East or Upper West Side of Manhattan, finally realized they were conservatives when Mamdani was elected, and now have to learn how to function in Jacksonville.

Well, then

Louisiana Democrats

I'm glad everyone is having a good time. But my city is broke because it is run by corrupt arsonists turning power over to bloodless careerists who, tomorrow, will make a deal with reactionary fascists to force at least four years of harsh austerity. To me, that's the only real thing happening.

how about no

These were the obsequious headlines a Republican got for winning a race by less than 2%. Spanberger won by 15 tonight. The coverage should be absolutely apocalyptic for Rs tomorrow, but it largely wont be bc political news media sees Rs as their friends & allies & would never trash them like that

Mamdani’s speech scared CNN. Sweaty. “Tone was sharp…he was almost yelling.” I snort.

Rachel Maddow sounds shellshocked. The TV libs aren’t ready for this.
