US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

We really need an opposition party that will be as angry at greedy oil companies as our government is at teachers.

“this administration is worse than i expected” how tho? they literally told you this is what they wanted to do

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

how I feel since 2016 or so

Tried to cancel my Paramount+ subscription due to the merger/fascism bullshit and got this note. I'm guessing lots of other people had the same idea?

‘Morning…Mourning 🌺💔💙🇺🇸🇺🇸💔

Among other things, I'm just so pissed that a country that once made winning WWII its whole personality is now building concentration camps

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

Been feeling alot worse mentally lately.

Insane that Mamdani is being asked to condemn words he has never said while being accused of not saying words he has repeatedly said in multiple venues over the course of months

“From The Depths,” William Balfour Ker

Comic by Hartley Lin #NoKings

Good morning Bluesky !

this is so perplexing do they think that we think that Zohran is already mayor?

I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.   Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

oh, murkowski herself has been very vocal in confirming this, which underlines how cowardly she is

This is how terrified the rich are of Zohran Mamdani's policies: “I can’t believe I even need to say this, but socialism doesn’t work. It has failed in every American city it was tried.” - Anthony Pompliano, CEO SPOILER: No American city in history has ever enacted a socialist economic policy.

Freedom OF religion, Freedom FROM religion. #politics #activism #religion

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

A joy to march in NYC Pride with the people's champ Tish James 🏳️‍🌈

I think there’s a decent argument Zohran’s win is the biggest socialists have ever won in American history. Socialists have never governed a city anywhere near the size of New York. It doesn’t just feel good. It’s a generational opportunity to build social democracy—and show that it works.

Left's strong night, updated: —Mamdani finishes well ahead. —All 10 challenged NYC Progressive Caucus members win, or way up. Jumaane Williams, too. —Left may add councilors (AOC- or WFP-backed newcomers up) —WFP-endorsed candidates win primaries for Syracuse & Buffalo mayor.

*Democratic Party hastily commissions a study to figure out why so many people preferred the attractive, energetic, charismatic guy with the fun name to the disgraced vampire*

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

I guess you could say the people who thought Andrew Cuomo ran a better campaign than Zohran Mamdani were sequestered in echo chambers and out of touch with what people offline wanted out of a candidate

I hope the Democratic Party takes away the right lesson tonight. We need new young leadership like @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social with ideas that people love. ….I don’t think they WILL take away the right lesson, but I can hope.

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

This was always where this was heading. This is we why were “hysterical” all last year. Because we study history, and we knew, this is always where this was heading.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

the people in LA putting their safety on the line right now to try and stop ICE are the bravest people we have got

ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

Don't forget it

Folks, remember

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.
