Path to citizenship means you fill out a bit of paperwork swear an oath. This happens on the same day. If you literally have Ebola you gotta apply again in a few weeks Otherwise if you’re not on a *vetted* terrorist watchlist I honestly don’t give a shit

Hungarian suggests EU funding shouldn't go to corrupt countries 🤔

SULZBERGERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Russia's latest budget figures (January–October) are out, and it's becoming increasingly clear that the budget deficit will be higher than expected. After 10 months, 80% of the budget has already been spent — compared to the normal rate of 74%.

so good

American tankie influencer gets interrogated by actual Chinese state police while visiting Tiananmen Square sounds like a comedy sketch and yet it's real lmao www.reddit.com/r/Livestream...

across all wikipedias in all languages, vietnamese wikipedia's "game boy" article is the only place that uses the public domain shots of hillary clinton as a tetris addict taken on air force one

As the situation in Pokrovsk becomes critical, and AFU reinforces the pocket to stabilize the flanks, there's considerable attention now to how this battle is unfolding. A few thoughts on the situation. 1/ (DeepStateMap)

By this time next week, the estimated deaths due to the illegal destruction of USAID and the shuttering of its aid efforts will breach 400,000. More than 260,000 will be children. Source: www.bu.edu/sph/news/art...

mine eyes? seeing the glory. the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored? trampled. the faithful lighting of his terrible swift sword? buddy, you better believe that's loosed.

Defense wants gag gifts provided to the officer after the incident included in discovery. One is a plushie sandwich and another is a patch that says, if I heard correctly, “Felony Footlong.” Sounds like we won’t end up seeing these physically but will hear them described.

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

Does lead exposure make you a MAGA Republican? A non-controlled N=1 investigative study

being AGAINST exploiting something for personal gain???

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

Elon Musk's involvement in politics really hurt Tesla sales. "Without the Musk partisan effect, Tesla sales between October 2022 and April 2025 would have been 67-83% higher, equivalent to 1-1.26 million more vehicles."

NEW: I reviewed a text chain provided by an acquaintance of Graham Platner where the person discussed with others Platner’s Nazi-like tattoo months before the story became public, undercutting claims Platner only recently learned of it. www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

If you call yourself a farmer I expect two things - - you're in serious hock to the bank, never met a farmer who isn't - if you don't produce, you die Anything less than this - Platner sells exclusively to his mother - you're a hobbyist

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

The car crisis tops today’s EU summit but leaders keep staring at the wrong problem The issue isn’t the 2035 engine ban - it’s demand falling off a cliff today With @sandertordoir.bsky.social and @lucasguttenberg.bsky.social, we show why flipping regs won’t help - and what the EU can do instead.

In a very real way, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have murdered millions of children so that a pedophile with sideburns could set the money on fire instead

lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me. *US SEEKS TO QUADRUPLE BEEF PURCHASES FROM ARGENTINA: POLITICO

Far right parties in Ukraine hold 0 parliamentary seats, while they win landslide in the US because your fucking compatriots, evidently, cannot be trusted with NOT going full hitler once given free will, so pipe down

It’s like stepping into a funhouse (except with Democratic pundit podcasters, so the opposite of “fun”). Pure brainworms.

Structurally speaking this is kind of a fascinating space. Hope they waited for engineering review

I’m convinced that this is the right way to think about free buses. It’s not just a question of the same people making the same trips but not paying. It’s valuable insofar as it changes what kinds of trips people feel they can make.

I think we also see the effects of staying on Vichy Twitter, I seriously doubt the Pod Jons would have made excuses like this pre-2022

this is not even a march, this is spontaneously assembled from the people on the street and surrounding areas who hate ICE and that’s fucking beautiful. I love New York City so much

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission) Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

guy who immediately pivots off of defending a nazi tattoo into screaming at an unrelated black guy for (a) not instantaneously understanding why someone would have a nazi tattoo, and (b) not engaging in more anti-israel activism. this is diagnostic of how bluesky is worse than the site run by a nazi

That skull logo isn't just regular nazis (bad enough!) but literally the guys running the extermination camps

His only redeeming feature is his joy in bullying republicans

Merz hat Recht, es gibt in manchen Städten ein Problem mit dem Stadtbild. Das liegt allerdings an Armut & Perspektivlosigkeit, nicht an Migration. Armut sorgt für Obdachlosigkeit, kann zu Suchtproblemen führen, erhöht Aggresivität. Es bräuchte gute Sozialpolitik & Jugendarbeit. Nicht Spalterei.

If Russia could destroy Ukraine it would have done so already. (And if Putin was willing to pay the price to do so with nukes, he also would have done it already.)

A leadership group as deludedly very online as the Trump administration is capable of inflicting extreme harm on an American population whose real world demands and aspirations increasingly contradict the fantasy world constructed around Trump and his courtiers

If you attend a No Kings Day event, please record the number of people in attendance in our crowdsourced crowd-counting sheet. We prefer official estimates above ad-hoc counts — if you count yourself, pls be conservative (people are bad at estimating crowd sizes). docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Zelenskyy should insist on going to this supposed Budapest meeting too. Say it‘ll be a waste of time like Alaska otherwise. Then if Trump agrees Putin will almost certainly back out and look bad.
