One reason Republicans are so laser targeted on trans kids existing, is that trans kids existing requires accepting the bodily autonomy and consent of children. Which is something republicans absolutely can't do, since they are pedophiles. Their transphobia and pedophilia is them being consistent

White supremacy is just a job you do, like architect or serial killer

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

Who gets the gig? My money's on Taibbi.

PEN America held a clever contest for writers to make poems using the terms the Trump administration has banned, and @stevewishnia.bsky.social was one of the winners! pen.org/writers-crea...

I thought she was incredibly impressive. This is garbage.

you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”

In case you were wondering what one of the major lines of attack on AOC will be in 2028, it won't be about Taiwan or populism but about her belief that Israel isn't entitled to free and unlimited military assistance from the US

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way

Normally this would be a 24/7 news story and instead it's like the 47th craziest thing happening right now.

When it looked like SCOTUS would overturn Roe and red states started turning their eyes to birth control, I wondered aloud if Big Pharma would fight at all against the decimation of their revenue streams and the answer, apparently, is no. Not even a little. We’re dying for the dumbest reason.

Why would it sting? Her assignment is to destroy CBS News and it's going great.

Smirnov admitted to completely fabricating the conspiracy that became central to the GOP's effort to impeach Joe Biden. Days later, the Russian asset pleaded guilty to four felony charges and was sentenced to six years in prison. After a few months, he just mysteriously disappeared.

Worth noting collisions due to car chases happened when Trump inflicted federal agents on D.C. too.

Rothman makes everyone on the panel viscerally uncomfortable including the creepy guy they sent to be his wingman.

Tapper has spent the better part of two and a half years legitimizing this kind of rhetoric with how he's used his cable television news slot but wants to act like Fine is now suddenly beyond the pale. Remember that Tapper *made up a quote* from Tlaib but has never said anything on CNN about Fine.

Hard to get that across when all these careerist dipshits stand around with microphones listening to his bullshit like it makes sense

A two month old-detained in the ICE concentration camp at Dilley-was rushed to the hospital this weekend The boy’s extreme youth made him particularly vulnerable in a prison setting Worse, they knew he was sick-and couldn’t care for him-because the facility didn’t even have a doctor ABOLISH ICE

On the other hand perhaps I am misreading Noah Rothman. Perhaps his reaction to the uproar over Epstein, calling it a moral panic should be read in the context of his accusation that progressives have engaged in a war on fun.

Dilley must be shut down and everyone inside must be freed and provided immediate medical care. www.sacurrent.com/news/two-mon...

They’re trying to Hillary her

They put this schnook on TV?

Slavery didn’t end because the slave owners came to their senses and developed morals. They literally fought to the death to try to uphold it. Their ancestors still celebrate the institution to this day.

This is a nice move in an interview www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/u...

This is totally non-standard for any publication. Every pub everywhere pretty much cleans up uhms, uhm, and vocal tics like that, which EVERYONE DOES. This is extremely intentional. If I was writing this I’d probably do the quote “this is of course a very longstanding policy of the United States”

UPDATE: “FBI formally notified Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) on it will not provide the BCA with access to any information or evidence that it has collected in the 1/24 shooting death of Alex Pretti.” 🤔A lawless regime. Abolish ICE. dps.mn.gov/news/bca/sta...

There's stuff about 9 year olds in there buddy.

Bari Weiss & David Ellison are making CBS a place unfit for journalists & journalism.

A prominent Bluesky elder already hosts Jeopardy

Every American over the age of ten knows this is an attempt to suppress voting.

Newspapers used to have a rewrite desk to free up reporters to report, which was useful as rewrite desk was staffed by human beings.

here is how you get into Wiseman

And the hits just keep on coming: RIP Frederick Wiseman, another legend of American cinema

We can’t trust anything coming out of this administration. It’s getting tiresome.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

When your movement is a wildly unpopular fascist grift run by pedophile racketeers, you have to dig really deep for phony outrages

Dropped by Baltimore's hella charming Black History Month parade on MLK Boulevard.

The death toll from Musk’s budget cuts will surpass that of every war in the last few decades combined. He knowingly triggered famines and collapsed health systems, yet he faces no consequences. We need to stop calling it cost-cutting and start calling it what it is: mass murder

A conscientious journalism grad withdraw from a job when she learned the Cleveland Plain Dealer uses AI to write its stories. Now the editor is castigating her and journalism professors for not being “prepared for the workforce.” You can’t make this shit up. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/02...

This is straight-up Nazi rhetoric from Musk, and the only tiny thing I can do is address myself to those of you who are still on X. No more excuses about how you need "reach" or how good the conversation is there or the importance of debate. You will not regret walking away, and it's time.

DO IT

Terrific piece by @rexhuppke.bsky.social on Elon Musk, White Nationalist

"This position is how your movement ends up conflating the tyranny of overbearing, temporary Covid policies in Democratic-run areas as equal to (or worse than) the tyranny of a secret police force acting without due process for everyone..." www.ms.now/opinion/libe...

You must learn to hate the aristocracy as much as it hates you.

Other countries simply hold elections. None of this stuff happens. No one tries it. And no one tolerates it. The results are known within hours & everyone accepts them. We have allowed an incredible amount of lies, nonsense, & authoritarianism to become the norm, & we should stop doing that.

it’s exactly what Republicans did to the IRS money in the Inflation Reduction Act

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...
