The weird thing about those recently resurfaced Reagan clips is I remember him as being ancient and too old for the job, yet he looks young and vigorous compared to the 21st century gerontocrats.

Oh good, another "disappearing message" trap. Hey, everyone: do not rely upon any tool that claims to let you send "disappearing" messages to protect you from being held accountable for ANY message you send to ANYONE. If they can read it, they can save a copy. Somehow […]

“'I think we should have principles as business owners and stand up for what’s right,' [owner William McCormick] said. The actual shirt, he explained, isn’t really new. 'It used to just say Fuck Nazis. We just clarified who the Nazis were.'"

wait they're literally the meme

Remember, friends, The Texas Revolution was fought to expand chattel slavery into Texas. Not a fight for freedom from Mexican tyranny. Article mentions @cltomlinson.bsky.social @realjasonstanford.bsky.social and Bryan Burrough's book, Forget the Alamo. I highly recommend it.

I see people saying "there will be rioting in the streets! Families stealing food! Mass violence with all those guns!" And I'm like THERE WILL BE FOOD DRIVES what the hell, stop feeding the fascist narrative that people will descend into violence. My version (reality) is already happening.

Jeffersonians, Jeffersonians! Jeffersonians!!! JEFFERSONIANS!!!!! All of you are Jeffersonians, none of you are free from sin

I am begging you to stop posting screenshots of Twitter blue checks, particularly when they're talking to each other.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

exactly that many violent attacks?

Great news, after a months-long hiatus we have resumed dropping F/A-18s into the ocean

Fuckin’ knew it. KNEW IT.

I'm pretty sure the Fash intent is to Just Let The Poor Starve starting next week. I hope to hell that I'm wrong.

I hope I live long enough to be able to see inexorable healing coming, the way we now see inexorable harm barreling down. On islands. On children. On dinner plates.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

never gonna miss an opportunity to plug American Gentry @patrickwyman.bsky.social nailed it

Italian Senator Carlo Calenda left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and someone who repeats Russian propaganda narratives. I believe this is exactly how public accountability should work - when a liar is called a liar.

As other people have noted, if you have local food banks, now would be an excellent time to donate cash to them, if you have the cash to spare. We will be upping our donations to food banks and hunger-related charities here in Ohio.

I would still do what I do now, I would just enjoy it a lot more because I could focus on the fact that captions actually help people, instead of always being pissed off that I can't afford life while doing it

any interest in having a fully-in-browser cross-compiler like https://openbsd.llvm.moe/ but for more popular platforms? (linux, freebsd, windows, etc)

Just learned that one of the biggest and most useful (as in has nearly everything) plant nurseries in the area (Merrifield Garden Center in Gainsville, Va) is selling its substantial plot to Amazon to be converted into yet another data center. You see, instead of planting plants, here in […]

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer vaccine has shown progress in triggering POWERFUL and LASTING immune responses in patients with pancreatic AND colorectal cancer. The vaccine, known as ELI-002 2P, targets mutant KRAS proteins AND had a huge impact on PREVENTING or DELAYING cancer recurrence in patients.

I came across this from that other place, written 12 days after J6 and two days before Trump was evicted and Biden took over. We are in the trouble we’re in because Trump was not held accountable for his crimes, particularly inciting a ldeadly insurrection. Accountability is key for our future.

Got the Sunday video up early this time! If you've been seeing news about "oh no there's a spike in farm bankruptcy"- it is NOT as simple as "farms go out of business & then investors buy them all." hoooooo boy youtu.be/xon9A5_4tQw

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

Meanwhile, millennials still freaking love "Don't Stop Believing"! Inexplicably.

Crush the fascists, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women. It is the way.

every human comes with a free skeleton, but the packaging is real hard to open

So many people have Trump wrong. What he wants is not Yeltsin's Russia, Orban's Hungary or Hitler's Germany. I've studied him for a decade and can tell you that if his dreams come true, America will most resemble the Hermit Kingdom—North Korea—with Trump as Kim Jong-un and the rest of us in poverty.

Garry Kasparov warned us all back in 2016 when Trump was first elected: “Americans are about to find out that their democracy is based largely on the honor system.”

Oh no it’s super fake and doesn’t really look like the real thing at all It’s a popular thing in a lot of Peru, the fake Inca look stuff See alt text for more info

And as you’re my favorite columnist who speaks for me, I guess I thought you were a white woman. 😆

very rare to see someone say out loud what i suspect, which is that there are plenty of people evaluate my work based on my profile picture and not the actual words i use

In May, 2025 (the last month for which data is currently available), SNAP benefits issued totaled $7.86 billion nationwide. There are approximately 22.5 million SNAP households. Every non-SNAP household (~105million) would need to contribute about $76 to cover a month of SNAP.

Thinking a lot recently about the outrage over Lizzo playing James Madison's flute

GOP. Congress. ‘Nuff said

Live footage from the White House Ballroom

More from the scene

Catherine Connolly, the independent socialist, is President-Elect. Yet again, Ireland bucks the trend of liberal democracies falling to far right nihilism. Here is who she is - Connolly supports the LGBTQ community & People with Disabilities, Carers & a United Ireland. #Aras25 #SpeirGhorm

Sorry, but it *is* unnerving. I agree with @rieckhoff.bsky.social that this idea that the military is Trump's personal muscle, and should kill anyone he points at, should be among the biggest stories in America right now.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Yeah that’s fair but if they’re arguing with actual subject matter experts and insisting they know better because they asked chat gpt they can go fuck themselves

I’m coming around to the idea that people who ask large language models for advice and take it deserve whatever they get. Let them eat the deadly mushrooms and find themselves stranded on trips to places that don’t exist and let them take the wrong meds and argue with doctors about it

"So if I get this ring, I'm in charge?" "Absolutely not, you have to run and hide" "Will using the ring help me hide" "Yes! Except not from the people who will kill you to get the ring, to them it reveals your precise location" honestly it's like the AI version of an artifact. It's magic Claude

This is the LP equivalent of a middle finger.

Little free libraries for bombers and data centers well funded programs for people and nature.

Speaking as a 20something in the late 80s, I despised hearing RR speak because he was such a skilled speaker, often saying terrible things with well-crafted words recited perfectly. DJT is a different experience. It's always 100% obvious that his mind is disordered, he crafts none of his speech.
