aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Don't threaten us with a good time

oh my god lol

Trump will just have to keep murdering fishermen until you stupid jerks give him the peace prize

"Billionaires are dangerous. We should tax them until they aren’t."

The Mark Bray situation is so completely fucked right now and if you're a journalist you need to start saying how it's fucked because you're fucking next. They won't stop at academics.

Gonna give the term "MAGA Hat" a whole new meaning.

actually we would be better off as a country if the obama administration had prosecuted the bush administration. ditto biden to trump. we're in a mess in large part because democrats were too chickenshit to do the right thing.

I teach in my undergrad class on the history of the US jury system that the institution's roots are in colonial juries serving as a counterweight to abuses of imperial power. The American jury has problems for sure but still can serve that roll. Don't blow off jury service.

Experienced this with one of our relatives, a dyed in the wool Democrat, who started believing this because eugenicist RFK Jr.'s claims are being parroted by the press with no pushback. They were easy to correct, but man, what do you do when the misinformation is being broadcast by the press?

Got the COVID booster yesterday, and I don't feel wiped out the next day like with every COVID shot before. That's refreshing.

They all look like suspects in a high school murder movie

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat. Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

this is literally stuff King Charles did, like not only did the American colonists have a revolution to not have this happen, but they did so in the wake of the English revolution, which was about not having stuff like this happen

I'm seeing as much Stephen Miller as I see Trump these days, and I'm just going to say it, that scares the fuck out of me.

Liberals will appease the fascists before allowing you to protect yourself or community from fascist violence. The mayor is doing the fascists job for them by curtailing our first amendment right to protest

it's a really dark day for journalism and this country. the old institutions simply will not stand—and that's why it's time to create new ones. make independent media a viable path. subscribe to the handbasket: www.thehandbasket.co/subscribe

Sorry, not sorry, this feed is going to become a "trust fall meme" feed. Needed a laugh like this today.

It’s so funny that “you’re overreacting to Trump” is/was a thing that people who soldier themselves serious said. Assume that he drops out of the primary in 2015: I literally cannot think of a single way in which the country is not better off, no matter which of the possible paths things go down

When your custom character appears in a cut scene

The new Supreme Court term starts today, meaning that -- in a novel twist -- the justices will hear oral arguments in some cases before they issue rulings that actually explain what they are doing.

Its not lost on me that the conservative bugaboo for years was federal troops marching in their states and cities and its the first thing Trump reached for once in power

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

could a depressed person do this? *posts again*

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

I’m tempted to dunk, but ok, let’s engage seriously. Putting Japanese-Americans in concentration camps was a fascist activity. (And I think that if you were Japanese-American at the time, you were experiencing the US as a fascist country.) Does that mean the US was fascist? Wrong question.

So, you want to leave Bluesky, but you don't want to lose your community and start all over again. Great news! You can leave without losing anything. Here's how. Please share if you find this helpful so people don't lose their shit and go back to twt for no reason 🙏💖

AI at its peak.

Pritzker has been great. But these reports that IL state police are assisting ICE, harassing and beating people who record ICE, and helping arresting protesters all seem to be supported by some video. If state cops are helping feds suppress rights over governor’s objections, that’s a big problem.

I knew her from her most famous roles: Keeping Up Appearances and Hetty Wainthropp Investigates, but I love that looking through the feed, there are at least a half a dozen very different roles she performed in that people remember her by. RIP

this piece has been in the works a while but honestly i could not have asked for a better foil than ezra klein's interview with ta-nehisi coates. klein longs for peacetime--but you don't get to decide when you're in a fight. www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-mu...

I wanted to believe that maybe, just maybe, Pritzker was going to be different. And now, not just "all talk, no action," but actually complicit.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today. h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

Whoever is running DHS social media knew exactly what they were doing here. The "Mac Tonight" Moon Man meme was so prevalent on Nazi Telegram channels I genuinely didn't even know it originated elsewhere until much later.

actress tilly norwood has been deleted after being found unconscious next to a script containing a mistyped wildcard. she was 0

I’m no Newsom fanboy, but figuring out how to change the incentives of institutions considering capitulation is one of the big tasks of our moment.

I know these guys are all dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is fascinating to see the military decide “logistics are gay” in real time

Which is why Bluesky needs to yeet Jesse Singal out of here. And to yeet JKR on sight when she brings her hate brigade over here. It should be non-negotiable.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1
