If Microsoft do not make a firm statement against this soon, I'm pretty sure I'm upgrading them to Boycott For Life. This is utterly reprehensible and if they somehow endorse this naked, virulent bigotry, they are a valid target forevermore.

We’re giving $40 billion to Argentina. This is $5 billion MORE that the entire USAID budget that DOGE cut.

Just a note that menstrual products are the most requested / least donated items in food pantries so if you have the means to pick up supplies perhaps consider it

This is a catastrophic failure of governance. We are the richest country in the world - no one should be going hungry. So we have to be the ones to look out for each other. ...And if you're never had to use a food bank, I don't want to hear your opinions on SNAP or WIC. 😅

the secret message of all art and politics is “you are not alone”

The plural of anecdote is misinformation.

I wish so many of the people who do this would understand this :(

beauty and the beast all klingon production

Remember ending foreign wars? Really the biggest lie of all is "populism" as we see the crypto corruption, mass privatization, billionaire tax cuts, and Facebook/Amazon/Palantir literally destroying the White House

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

It cannot get lost in the shuffle, even with so much else going on, that the world's most wealthy people have had their minds absolutely rotted out, just saturated to the dripping point with black mold down to the studs and frame, by the all encompassing unhumanity of their wealth.

can someone please just run this as an ad?

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness. Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

ah but i was told the administration would be good on antitrust

"There is just one hope of repulsing the tyrannical ambition of civilization to conquer every niche on the whole earth. That hope is the organization of spirited people who will fight for the freedom of the wilderness." -Bob Marshall, making the case for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in 1930

hey friends, i have to ask again for you to help out Maha and Hamoud. Hamoud requires medical treatment for his lung condition—he’s such a strong baby but it requires constant attention. please help out if you can, even just sharing helps xoxo ❤️❤️ gofund.me/8155a34c

Has Trump posted a video of himself demolishing the East Wing with his shit yet?

a reminder that ModRetro is run by Palmer Luckey, a huge Trump backer, a self described "radical Zionist," and, quite literally, an arms dealer via his other company, Anduril

Me: [ninety seconds after emailing something from my personal address to my work address and hearing the chime of something coming into my work inbox] Oh, great, who the fuck now...?

For those asking after the woman who was arrested for wearing a penis costume to a No Kings protest in Fairhope, Alabama, @gambleganders.bsky.social says she was released after being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. I told her I bet Bluesky could find her a lawyer!

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED

four dicks

Remember this. Try.

Trump just posted an AI video confirming that anything he sits in gets instantly filled with diarrhea

“Fuck AI” — Guillermo del Toro 🎥 Vanity Fair

#NoKings Manhattan ARROOOOOOOO

note the flag accompanying this sign

I'll leave you from Portland with one last video of the @unpresidentedbrass.bsky.social, the unofficial house band of #NoKings

We told them they’re allowed to swear if it’s at a protest #nokings

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

When the Birmingham, Alabama, march is packed, you know something is up in America!

The ability to remove your post when a hostile account quote-tweets you is a great feature of Bluesky. To do it, go to their quote-tweet of you, click on the three dots in the bottom right, then click “detach quote.” It shows up as “removed by author.”

no kangs

If you are going to a No Kings protest this weekend, be sure to review our Surveillance Self Defense guide for attending a protest and bring Rayhunter along for the ride! ssd.eff.org/module/atte.... eff.org/rayhunter.

times like these i look to The Simpsons episode Treehouse of Horror VI "Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores" when Lisa and Paul Anka sing “Just don't look! Just don't look!" to get people to turn away from the monsters rampaging the town and the lack of attention defeats the monsters and saves the town

There seems to be a concerted, coordinated effort from the White House and various governmental agencies to join Bluesky en masse prior to the "No Kings" protest and flood the zone. A reminder that the Trump admin is monitoring social media platforms to find excuses to revoke visas:

weird phenomenon i keep encountering where “writers” correctly identify the soul-sucking danger that large language models pose to their craft, but for some reason have no problem using generative AI to make images. like….are you stupid!!!!

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

The DHS Twitter has been tagging and calling out a local journalist writing on immigration in Chicago. Local journalists covering what’s happening need continual support especially as they write these important stories.

We have nihilistic 8chan edgelords in charge of our nuclear arsenal because 30% of America still isn’t over the fact the South lost the Civil War

The military seizing survivors of illegal strikes should be a much bigger story.

One of the less understood beauties of a transition to a renewable economy is: you cannot invade a country and steal its sunshine and its wind, and you will not need to. The uneven distribution of fossil fuel, esp. oil, has corroded geopolitics for more than a century....
