I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Take a moment to remember how weird it is our president communicates with us through a bottom-tier social media site called Truth Social. It’s like if he governed from the comment section of a porn site.

Hey Bluesky! My name is Zach. I just published an investigation into a hospital land tax loophole in NC involving a fried chicken restaurant and $110K+ in avoided taxes. I would really appreciate a repost so this reaches Atrium Health and state lawmakers! Thanks! open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...

"Other countries are our property, and we dictate their behavior. You know, like women in marriage."

Where is Renee Good's killer, Jonathan Ross? Where are Alex Pretti's killers, Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez? Who killed Ruben Ray Martinez? Who killed Silverio Villegas González?

This bribe is more than 4x bigger than all the money that changed hands throughout the entire Teapot Dome episode.

Recklessly producing and then accepting a situation where a foreign power can restrict freedom of navigation is not just a strategic defeat, it is a reversal of the most fundamental foreign policy and national security priority of the United States since the founding of the republic.

It's Jan 6 every day, it's a Watergate burglary every night. It's a guy living in your crawlspace, stealing your mail and your meds. It's a creep taking pics of your kids at soccer practice and waving your tax returns at you when you tell him you're gonna call... someone. American horror story.

"A brutal, repressive regime has survived the world’s most powerful military.” That about sums it up. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Your moment of calm: Rabbit contemplates eternity on a quiet morning. (further calm: this bun sat there just observing the world, no cares in the world, for a good ten minutes)

This was one of the worst days I’ve lived through in my entire life. How much more of this insanity do we have to endure?

Just so we’re clear: The Strait of Hormuz was already open before Trump spent $1.8 billion a day on the most stupid war ever. Now Trump has surrendered and Iran controls the Strait. All the MAGA morons need new hats that say “Make Iran Great Again.”

It’s crazy that the vice president openly intervening in a foreign election for the candidate backed by Russia ranks a distant second in insane things happening today.

In case I have any Army generals following me, it’s pronounced “hoon-ta”. Military “hoon-ta”. Don’t let your fear of pronouncing words out loud that you’ve only read in text stop you from bringing up important conversations.

The post-quantum cryptography timeline accelerating at the same time that mythos is creating mass CVEs is really threatening to alter my roadmaps

If you've come here to defend Chuck Schumer, please simply unfollow and go away. He's weak and he's stood in the way of stronger voices who could have done more to prevent this. His vanity and weird obsession with imaginary constituents instead of real ones is a major reason we're here now.

Come on then, and remove him.

Just in case folks miss this due to the block

anyone attending the white house correspondents dinner is a fucking traitor

This is the greatest product placement of all time.

We have no paywalls at the Mississippi Free Press. All of our stories are paywall-free and available for anyone to read. Yet by the time we left Twitter over a year ago, almost nobody was seeing our posts—even though we used to get lots of engagement there pre-Musk. So, no, that's not the reason.

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum under the Trump administration has deleted its teaching materials about links between Nazi racism and the Jim Crow laws: www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

👇🎯 Some of us were, but no one was listening & the rest didn't want to hear it. Unprecedented lawless authoritarianism & violations of the Constitution, on a level so staggering in scope & scale that we still haven't even begun to admit it as a country.

I said it back in early 2025 but Elon Musk seizing the Treasury's payment systems and the federal payroll systems from career bureaucrats was one of the most important steps in achieving Trump's coup against our Constitution and no one was paying attention

"What's really exciting about this work is that it suggests that the roots of this capacity for imagination are not unique to our species," said study co-author Christopher Krupenye with Johns Hopkins University. https://to.pbs.org/3NZsw6E

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Israel is waiting for the US green light to start striking Iran's energy infrastructure, Reuters reports.

Well, that was unnecessary 😶

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

I don’t think he’s well.

Also, everytime I hear "Jus sanguinis" (which is the idea that citizenship follows the blood of the parent not the soil that the child is born on), I think... "Man, beating Lillith in Diablo 4 was really hard man. She probably believe in Jus sanguinis too."

Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available. We decided to illustrate it.

"Dumping the Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war is a reckless move even by Hegseth’s standards," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

Reminder that the moon that orbits the Earth has a name in English and that name is the Moon. There are lots of nicknames and names in other languages (Luna, for instance) but technically in English it is just the Moon. The concept of a moon is uncapitalized; our moon is the Moon.

I have zero natural musical talent but I’m writing a song about driving in L.A. It’s called “Shithead In A Tesla On My Ass.”
