Ireland once again reminding the world what the word "Republican" should mean.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot. The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

When you order at Novi's or Lukes, do you say "I'd like two Italian Beefs" or "I'd like two Italian Beeves?"

A man gets a blowjob from a trans woman and his friends make fun of him so he goes to the police to claim she lied about being a woman. She was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison because of a man's shame. www.bbc.com/news/article...

What gets me about the whole Bad Bunny Bullshit Bomb is that so many people see monolingualism as a point of pride rather than an intellectual limitation.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

After all this, BlueSky is just another Twitter.

Man, the Pete Buttigieg cult is *weird*. They actively search for people taking about him and either argue with them or block them if they're not properly differential. They say he's well-spoken but if you ask him about Gaza he gets Trump-level incoherent. Also he's a union buster.

I'm bored and want to try an experiment based on my past experiences.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?

Jane Goodall, the conservationist renowned for her groundbreaking chimpanzee field research and globe-spanning environmental advocacy, has died. She was 91.

If that country is called Israel, however, we'd send it billions of dollars and arm it to the teeth so it could commit genocide

this is why you can’t give an inch to transphobes. they are driven by hate and no amount of kindness will make them even momentarily soften. it is a militant ideology.

One thing I'm learning from the recent news cycle is that Democrats are blissfully unaware that the NRA collapsed last year and barely functions as an organization anymore. Wayne LaPierre was even tried and convicted of corruption.

Leftists don't really have a special hate-on for Mormons. LDS is seen as one right-wing church among many. The only people who really hate Mormons are other Christian sects.

Border Patrol boats have been spotted in the Chicago River. Where's Dave Matthews when you need him?

Despite everything I still have fundamental faith in the American people turning this around and making things better. [reads any New York Times focus group] Fuck this. Fuck everything. Burn it all down. [drinks directly from tequila bottle]

Someone over at @pbs.org should hang their own version of those giant Trump banners, only featuring Mr. Rogers and Big Bird.

grossly irresponsible from NPR. The WH-cited evidence of a link is from searching for correlations in large observational datasets without regard for confounding variables, studies specifically looking for a link don't find it.

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

Are there any US news outlets *not* obediently covering the Horst Wessel funeral?

You guys have to read the termination letter that @washingtonpost.com sent @karenattiah.bsky.social because they essentially accused her of anti-white racism because she mentioned that Charlie Kirk was a white man 😵‍💫 Then they called her a “risk.” 🤡 karenattiah.substack.com/p/why-washin...

The fact that Charlie Kirk was viewed as some kind of a Titan of free speech and debate shows a bizarre trend where it somehow became acceptable for adult non student conservatives to invade college campuses and talk about why women and black people shouldn’t have basic civil liberties

The "resistance" again being more like the "assistance."

One underreported fact is Brendan Carr—the FCC chairman who got Kimmel suspended—spent the last four years warning that government censorship of critics leads to authoritarianism. Carr co-authored P2025. He know he's advancing authoritarianism. That's the point. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-cancel...

Not a single member of the so-called opposition party bothered to object to honoring a racist.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

Please point to the difference between the GOP approach to politics and the fuhrerprinzip. Or explain how their philosophy is any different from "one people, one country, one leader." If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, at least consider that it might not be an elephant in a duck suit.

But they won't hesitate to text you asking for money.

And still nothing will be done.

This is kind of ridiculous. I don't think your average university police department is trained or equipped for snipers, and it's kind of messed up to expect them to be. abcnews.go.com/US/fatal-sho...

*Chef's kiss*

some good news: Toronto chased a hate rally out of their chosen venue today. counter-protestors vastly outnumbered the attendees. we still don’t rock with this shit here www.torontotoday.ca/local/policy...

hey @moderation.bsky.app just curious if you think the new york post can remain on this app. is posting rest in piss worse than this?

Try to live your life in such a way that when you die people don't have to be threatened and bullied into pretending they're sad about it.

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

People are getting fired for criticizing him, and now this. This is next-level creepy.

Pritzker just got a huge boost to his presidential campaign. "I faced down Trump and won" is going to go a lot farther than Gavin Newsome's "Let's honor Charlie Kirk's legacy."

Just for fun, I'm going to give you some clips of the hate mail I got from being placed on Kirk's TPUSA Dangerous Professor list. Buckle up:

Wow, the people who lionized Kyle Rittenhouse, joked about the attack on Paul Pelosi, and were completely silent when Melissa Hortmann was murdered are suddenly very concerned about political violence.

@miriamanzovin.bsky.social This profile popped up on FB. Real or fake? www.facebook.com/share/1FHiQu...

If, 5 years from now, we are looking back under autocratic rule, thinking about when exactly democracy died in America, the president building a paramilitary goon squad to enforce a domestic political agenda will be top of the list. What do you want to have stood for when authoritarians took over?

I do like when I'm being proselytized to by a Christian and they find out I'm Jewish and go, "Oh! You know, Jesus was a Jew," and I'm just ok do you think that makes him special to me? Do you think I listen to any other Jews in the first place?

This is very much extremely the thing. "You stupid SHEEP! There's no invisible MAN on a MOUNTAIN!" "No shit, Sherlock." "And no Magic SkyDaddy is gonna just FIX things if you pray hard enough!!" "That's correct." "And people don't get sick because they were bad!!" "Did... you think they did??"

Trump et al. have basically created a zugzwang situation for left/liberal Jewish academics and students, forcing them to choose between tolerating actual instances of antisemitism they encounter vs. Trump co-opting their legitimate complaints as a pretext to stifle academic freedom and cut funding

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.

"Who DOES matter."
