It really says something that a judge has to order federal agents to not hunt down children on Halloween

The United States of America is not ready for Latin American Banana Republic levels of corruption and destabilization

A good way to go insane is to reread stuff published in November 2008 www.independent.co.uk/voices/comme...

It’s decorative gourd season, motherfuckers

They've gone too far for John Yoo.

Trumpism and American capitalist democracy are incompatible. And so far, Trumpism seems to be winning.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

¿No pueden hacer dos cosas al mismo tiempo?

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

The NRA spent decades saying the Nazis did gun control and the reality is that the Nazis initially loosened gun laws for most people but eliminated ownership for minority groups including queer people. So, literally this

Hey @tomtaylormade.bsky.social? Lost and Found? Probably the best Batman short story I've ever seen (not read). Thank you so much for it.

Given all the thoughts and prayers given to all the school shootings and seeing how school shootings keep going up, can we honestly say it works?

Wow. What a journey.

This isn't how that happens.

this is so wonderfully weird, give her all the golds 🥇

How do you say "lebensraum" in Yiddish?

why does he keep going to a place where people despise him, year after year

Excuse me, what?

I don't want to know what Maxwell did, but I do. She is every bit as guilty as Epstein. They are going to say he brainwashed her, held a gun to her head and so forth. Even if he did it wouldn't matter in terms of the law, but he didn't. She liked it, she did it, she helped cover it up.

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly: "No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT." "HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

Trump on Powell: “I was surprised he was appointed” (Trump appointed him)

Honestly would love to see how this article came about and who was involved in coming up with it

Trump is going to deport him, isn't he

Importantly: this sort of stuff happening in states goes hand in hand with the parallel erosion of due process that federal courts are endorsing.

They need the made-up evil shit to provide a permission structure for the real evil shit. It's fundamental.

At a time when it's important to distinguish between the state of Israel, its government, and its leadership, Trump intentionally mixes them all up and claims Bibi is the state the US supports.

Absolutely not the point but this image is why mise-en-scène—what is in the frame—matters. This is a bunker. A print shop banner. Wood shop lighting. Every piece of fabric just pulled out of plastic, begging for steam or an iron. They thought they’d win and walk out to this?

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

"NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE" is a hell of a sentence when you've bombed a country that hasn't attacked you

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.

is it this

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to *break* laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

Heard Smashing Pumpkins in the grocery store today and this post was all I could think of.

A menos que no esté de acuerdo.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

I like that every non-news post in my feed right now is about JD Vance, which is just like the time JD Vance walked into an event at his own venture firm and people IMMEDIATELY turned to him like he was not welcome because he wasn't And this was years ago

Vance is here to grab content he can post on X, using your replies. Starve the beast.

Exactly. The JCPOA is a nuclear agreement reached in 2015 between Iran and world powers, including the US, aimed at limiting Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. Trump WITHDREW the US from it in 2018 & Iran began ignoring limitations on its nuclear program a year later.

I mean it's not even cryptic

Fernando Rospigliosi es una vergüenza y seguirá siendo invitado como "analista político" después de dejar el poder

The right is shaping public perception of these protests just like it shaped public perception of the BLM protests, because it dominates the information ecosystem. The narratives it has spent years crafting & spreading are shaping how current events are interpreted.
