Don’t cut funding to the VA and then have the nerve to “honor” the Veterans.

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! If you haven’t read Big Chief by @jonvhickey.bsky.social yet, you need to! It’s a political thriller that takes place on a reservation in Wisconsin. Powerful themes on what it means to belong. Couldn’t put it down, couldn’t stop thinking about it. Highly recommend! 📚

Just watched Starman with Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Was it popular when it came out? #filmsky

Anyone else going to be watching the cubs? #MLB #Baseball

Karen Attiah, a black woman, got fired for A: accurately quoting what Charlie Kirk said about Black women B: Accurately observing that most white Americans seem permissive of white violence. It's bullshit, but almost expected in this white supremacist country.

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Jerry Seinfeld: "If you're against Netanyahu genocide , you just simply hate Jews" is a hell of a stance

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

Like where are they supposed to go? You won’t let them leave? www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

Charlie Kirk was not the only victim of gun violence today. Minors at Evergreen High School in Colorado were too. My thoughts are with them and their families tonight. #guncontrol www.cbsnews.com/amp/colorado...

@callmemrwiggles.bsky.social Ok, I need one.

I’ve got the news on waiting for… “we interrupt your normal scheduled broadcasting for a special message from the white house.” #it

They can’t show a judicial warrant because they don’t have one.

If everyone knew their history

ICE came to my son’s preschool this morning. Fortunately the staff got them to fuck off, but I’m hearing of nannies being abducted from parks and the children being left unattended. I will never forgive the people who voted for this.

What he said! #HansZimmer #NoKings

What’s the incentive for Iran *not* to develop nuclear weapons now if they actually could. They made a deal with Obama that Trump tore up. Meanwhile Israel gets infinite special boy passes to bomb Tehran with top shelf American stealth jets. American assurances mean feck all.

Someone left me alone with the face filters again… #funny or at least I think so. #comedy #improv #coffee

Was writing. Got stuck. Now it’s time to walk in the woods and listen to medieval music 🧙 #booksky #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

@merriam-webster.com what do you think about this word I made up? 😂

Five years ago, Breonna Taylor was murdered. She should still be alive. We will not forget. #SayHerName

@kurzgesagt.org can we please get a hypothetical video of what would happen if the snap of someone’s fingers was 1000db?

They've become a parody of themselves.

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

Anora’s massive win at the #Oscars gives me hope for the future. It reminds me that indie filmmaking, an art form built on collaboration, will endure, even in a world full of hate and division. Congratulations to Sean Baker, Mikey Madison and everyone else involved with the film! 🎉 🎥

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

It’s “America First” until Netanyahu asks for money and bombs. It’s “America First” until Americans demand universal healthcare. It’s “America First” until Americans demand tuition-free college. It’s “America First” until Americans demand housing for all.

Has Putin said 'thank you'? 🤔

I have invented a word: schirkfridle. It’s a verb that means to avoid responsibilities by staring aimlessly at the inside of a refrigerator while making a shrill sound 🫠 #booksky

Shoutout to my library, and all libraries. #booksky #readbannedbooks

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

It’s been a few days since I last read. I just picked up Children of Dune and this quote greeted me where I left off. A warning from 1976. #booksky
