I don't think Americans really understand just how fkn shitty our corporate overlords have made our country. In China they got cars under 10k... What would Americans financials look like with one of those instead of the COVID vehicles most are stuck with that hold marks for 50k+ vehicles.

Just going to point out that the New Jersey State Police treated anti-ICE protesters the same way police all over the country treated anti-genocide protesters in 2024, and the same way police all over the country treated racial justice protesters in 2020.

Well, @indivisibleosco.bsky.social it appears we are a bunch of commies. It was fun to hear that shout at us this morning at the protest, instead of the more garden variety F! U! A little originality is always appreciated.

I think it's just time that I accept that I've become everyone's grandfather and I will ask "did I ever tell you about the time?" and I have probably told you about the time

When you fly into Washington, the first image you see outside your window is a slew of beige dots that are graves of people who died. It reminds you of the utterly awful sacrifice made to secure American freedom. Comments like these desecrate of that memory.

Man, it’s so discouraging what’s going on in this world. And I’m finding bluesky is becoming an obsession, one where the algo is all negatives. I think I’m gonna cut back for a bit.

I’m gonna post this video every day so we NEVER FORGET what Donald Trump did to the USA on Jan 6th

@doctorow.pluralistic.net here’s some nice enshittification, amirite? Tried to watch the biggest Scottish football match in 40 years and…I got nothing. www.nytimes.com/athletic/728...

I love how I keep pouring Money into to my 401k and the number hasn’t moved this year. Seems dumb, I think I’m dumb.

Newcastle United's owner holds 200 Ethiopian men on death row, many convicted of low-level drug possession without even basic due procees. After a disappointing league campaign, the team currently sits in 13th. (Via @privateeyenews.bsky.social)

@parkroseperma.bsky.social was reading an article on her YT channel that I saw today & she used the term “neo-confederacy.” & maybe that’s not a new thing but it struck me how utterly accurate it is. The GOP is a neo-confederate group. We’ve moved past neoliberalism, neoconservatism, even neo-Nazis.

Man, there are some crazy “labor vs. capital” charts, lately. @ianbremmer.com

“.. Inflation is now eating up all wage gains for the first time in about three years. This is painful for Americans and a true financial squeeze.” CPI Inflation in past year: 3.8% Wage gains: in past year: 3.6%” @byheatherlong.bsky.social

I used to see affluent opulence and think it was greedy but “their money, they can spend it how they want to”. And I guess now the question I have is…is it really their money if they made their riches on the backs of exploiting the working class? This isn’t news. I’m late & trying to catch up.

“She did the best she could until she couldn’t” This is a lovely and compassionate way of thinking about this www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/com...

Arsenal are the weakest offensive team at the top of the PL, man.

One thing that the report on Juan Orlando Hernández' influence operation did not mention: he was freed with the help of ratfucker Roger Stone. english.elpais.com/internationa...

Being reminded by @hcrichardson.bsky.social that Mothers’ Day (plural apostrophe) was part of an effort to “take control of politics from the men who had permitted [the] carnage” of war feels … right. Mothers are soft but strong; loving but fierce. May we bring that energy to the work before us.

A must-read thread 🧵

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

INSIDE WASHINGTON: For the past 15 years, Democrats and "good government" types created nonpartisan redistricting commissions hoping to take the idea national. It turned into unilateral disarmament in the Trump era. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This just shows how ridiculously stupid this administration is. *Everyone* else in politics was already well aware of how politically toxic high gas prices are—they are the one thing voters notice most. For God's sake, the prices are light up on big signs on street corners for everyone to see.

“Beauty” is interesting. A sunset is beautiful but doesn’t move me. Snow capped mountains, the stars in the sky. I find them…intriguing. I notice visual beauty but it does nothing to me emotionally But then, a violin. The right piece can reduce me to tears, & haunt me. Visual stuff? Not so much.

Worth remembering that PSG only won their first French title 40 years ago and had only won two up to 2012. They have now won it more times than anybody else. They're financially doped nobodies in a similar vein to Manchester City and Chelsea. Fuck 'em.

Trump: The country is booming. American citizens: The fuck it is.

Fire Infantino and his Trump loving bullshit.

@evernote.bsky.social I used to love you, but you've changed. And now you're almost doubling your price. I think I need to see other note taking apps.

Ah, the joys of business travel. Some stranger yesterday set an alarm for 4:15 am, just for me apparently. Been awake ever since. I guess I’m getting up and showering and dealing with way too little sleep for my 5 hour drive today.

Sad thing is, I expect most Americans to not know about this.

This whole thread.

Asheville, NC high schoolers are currently schooling the presidency on what real leadership looks like. It is inspiring to see thousands marching behind a generation that is done waiting for permission from a government that doesn't care about the people.

“.. There are now only two outcomes to the conflict: either the kind of wholesale destruction of Iran that Mr. Trump posited, or a settlement that will leave the government intact and empowered, and a blustering American president humiliated.” @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/o...

And, I love this was the first I’ve heard of it. Loser has nobody willing to pay to play with him. 😂 #fdt #pinks #voteblue #86meansREMOVE HIM

This is where we are now.

Yes, because EVERYONE with common sense who has been following the decades of their gangster, money laundering deals via Deutsche Bank and who has watched him grovel before Putin on camera as he did in Helsinki knows that Combover Caligula has always been Putin’s obsequious bitch.

This Is ALL The Supremely Corrupt Court Does,Anymore.......

clear goal of republicans in these states is to, in the words of carter glass, “eliminate every Negro voter who can be gotten rid of, legally, without materially impairing the numerical strength of the white electorate.”

Such a great message.

For me, an inpatient psychiatric provider who worked in a prison; it is CLEAR that even if a suicide, this death is murder* by ICE *no I don’t mean the legal term, I mean the cultural term, it’s the fault of ICE, with mal intent, foresight, and precontemplation

My thoughts are that this prediction is not looking great.
