She would not have cut off USAID, imperiling millions. She would not be trying to remove Haitians. She would not be bombing random fishermen in the Caribbean. She would not have started a war with Iran that is driving up food/fuel prices. She would not be tearing down green energy projects

My daughter is transgender & when people say it didn’t matter whether Trump or Harris won what I hear is a very personal “Fuck you & fuck your kid. And fuck every other transgender person & the people that love them while we’re at it.” There are around 3 million transgender Americans

One person is reported dead in Kyiv and 11 are now known to be injured severely enough to have been taken in to hospital. The skyline of Ukraine's capital is apocalyptic. Continued thanks to Trump/Vance et al for allowing this to happen.

Happy Canada Day everybody. I’m so proud to be a part of this flawed, beautiful, glowing beacon of Freedom and Good Governance on the North American continent.

All according to the plan.

All girls are going to be harassed and pedo/predator coaches are going to demand to “see for themselves”. “Wrong” haircut, phenotype, etc. will be enough. And Black girls will get it the worst.

Incidentally, I think that was the ID of the flash art Platner used on his coverup.

A lot of you are following this vatnik idiot.

It sounds like the RSF is starting to mass around another key city of some 500,000 people in Sudan — called el-Obeid — and threatening to repeat the atrocities of El-Fasher there, if anyone still cares

"Retransmitters used to coordinate Russian strikes on Ukraine from Belarusian territory have stopped operating" - Zelenskyy

If Iran and Egypt don't want to see Pride flags at their match in Seattle, that's just too damn bad. LGBTQ folks were intentionally erased in Qatar in 2022 due to "respect for local culture." Seattle supports LGBTQ people. Respect the local culture.

So @jonswaine.bsky.social @washingtonpost.com has seen hundreds of documents containing evidence that Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, was directed throughout her career by the leader of the cult she grew up in www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

The Minneapolis resistance fighting ICE and CBP beneath Old Glory in subzero temperatures were not getting beaten and gassed for you people to be saying this horseshit

Tulsi has been very obviously a bad fake actor to anyone paying attention for a long time. But this story is wiiiiiiild.

"Among flippant people the joke is always assumed to have been made. No one actually makes it; but every serious subject is discussed in a manner which implies that they have already found a ridiculous side to it." CS Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

If you are upset that Lake Louise is busy, or that there's too many tourists hiking to the Tea House, you're a f*cking loser. "Wah, how will I teach my son to hike mountains?" B*tch, I've seen tourists do that hike in high heels. "The busloads of tourists don't pay for parking". So take a bus.

I understand “don’t criticize Trump’s surrender plan from the hawkish right” as a directive. I just have yet to see it deployed here against someone that’s actually doing that.

It was their own air defense I fuckin can’t

Trump thinks that "gold leaf" is the spraypaint stuff they use at the White House, and "the real deal" is what we in consensus reality know as "gold leaf".

Nearly ate major shit trail running coming around the corner to this part. I know the trail well but don’t remember this part slicking up so bad. In past years.

Ahh yes. Draw the Southrons into chasing the strategic ballroom gap. If Trump ever finds out about Neuschwanstein, Canada will be safe for a thousand generations.

Median Platner supporter.

The shitty thing about lab leak discussion is that it always seems like people got polarized into their positions a lot more than with other subjects. I guess that’s true of anything COVID related to an extent. But most COVID positions were more grounded or at least mediated by personal experiences.

Probably the platform is something like this: 1. Jail for all the traitorous and corrupt (J6, purchased pardons, ballroom bribes, insider trading etc etc) 2. Court purification at all levels. 3. Overturning all FedSoc interpretations of the constitution. 4. Destruction of oligopoly

Every few months I watch this 12 year old Planetside 2 fan video and think about downloading the game again.

Maybe another way to put it is: most conservatives and RWers are in an existential battle with modernity for their values, and many liberals are not. So 4-8 years of GOP power are ideological warfare, and then they retreat to "hey now, what about discourse and debate", and some liberals buy it.

maybe the reason 80% of women in this country have been sexually harassed/assaulted is because an alarming number of you think a man wrenching his partners arm behind her back and locking her in a room is just him being a “bad boyfriend”

"I am going to take on the oligarchy, the establishment, the billionaires, and the Democrats with zero political experience and I cannot get my story straight on very basic things" is fundamentally ridiculous.

Probably a more salient point when discussing data centers for AI compute and their effect on electricity demand is this: nobody is arguing that we must invest heavily in compute so that all your apps can have chatbots trying to start convos or so that your feed becomes slop. 1/4

A lot of things I see here that I vehemently disagree with fit neatly into squares I would choose for BlueSky Bingo. Honestly, “what are women if not children you can have sex with” isn’t one of them.

I think about this several times a week, this guy must have immaculate vibes

I don’t know too much about how ya’ll do things, but up here 🇨🇦, that’s called “forcible confinement”. It’s what we call an “indictable offence”, which means there’s no time limit on prosecution, and you can get 10 years in prison. We don’t tend to make those that do it Senators, either.

People are saying we're in denial because he will still win blah blah. Our obligation now is to call on him to drop out, and pressure the party to force him to do so. There is more coming, he has got to go, that is the only answer.

There is nothing that would make Mearsheimer and people like him happier than to ignore the screams as the Ukrainian nation is extinguished in an archipelago of russian torture basements, one soul at a time.

I can relate to this person's sentiments. I'd like to offer a Canadian perspective too, since this white nationalism is afflicting all Commonwealth realms (plus the US & EU). Even if you're as progressive as they come, you should take the time to read what visible minorities like us have to say. 1/6

What a gross thing to say. Some of ya'll seriously don't have the brain power to observe what's going on in the world without it turning you insane. If you find yourself agreeing that "the Nazis were probably right", just log off. The internet is poison to you.

I’ve never seen anyone with a major byline knock it out of the park on Alberta separatism quite like this. A “Year zero conservative monoculture land-locked state” that is part of a “trans-national conservative movement” is exactly what this thing is.

Banger suggestion.

I'm begging for one article--just one--that is "Trump says Iran war is worth the economic pain. These urban voters in Harlem say `We told you he'd screw everything up, why didn't you listen to us?'" Just one. Just one "diner" interview in a place w a density above 1 per 1000 sq mi and < 95% white.

Good morning. I'm here at a protest in Kyiv, against the adoption of a new civil code. Protestors say that the code, drafted under wartime conditions without public participation, violates both basic human rights and threatens Ukraine's euro integration reforms.

The reason it is good for public bodies to fly the Ukrainian flag is because it is good to support Ukraine and the tiny minority of UK citizens who do not agree with it are bad people whose opinion does not matter.

New rule: Five generations after World War Two, while we sit here picking our noses and waiting for a savior as fascism descends over the land, we don’t get to pretend that “WE” did those things back then. They did them. That country is long gone. This one rapes kids and puts the rapist in charge.

Trump has heard people smarter than himself say “eloquently”, which is why he says “elegantly” here. I bet he even says “case and point”.

The quoted screenshots are a great example of what I meant when I said the left has a problem where some adherents will follow their principles with conviction to ridiculous positions.

One for the block lists.
