@sianushka.bsky.social absolutely brilliant talk at #QED2025. So alarming to realise the level of investment and coordination to roll back LGBTQ+ and reproductive rights. Thank you for your important work.

In a Historic day for Ireland, we have elected our first female President not named Mary.

What on Orwell’s green earth is a “figurative” bounty?

Babylon Bee believes satire is to comfort the powerful and to question questioning assumptions.

It already has been.

UK Politics has just taken an unexpected turn...

Every imagined threat about socialism is modeled after real things that happened under capitalism

When it comes to wings of the White House, I preferred Sorkin's take.

In other words, “reconstruction” will only take place where there are no Palestinian people because Israel is preventing their return to that part of Gaza.

I am kind of astonished at how muted the reaction has been so far in a country were people try to get, like, gas stations declared as historic landmarks. Can we at least get Mike Johnson on camera claiming he hasn’t seen these pictures? Or doesn’t know where or what the White House is?

Others have noted that this doesn’t have anything to say about who rioters were. But neither does it have a single word to say about the terrified people inside City West who were the intended targets of the mob’s violence

On top of his crypto grifts, real estate deals, and other corrupt ways he profits from the presidency, Trump now literally wants his own DOJ to pay him $230M. He does this all while his tariffs raise prices on Americans. An insane, unprecedented level of blatant corruption.

Reminder that almost half of those convicted in recent British anti-migrant "protests" (supposedly about the safety of women & children) had previous form for domestic violence. It was over 60% in Bristol - how high in Citywest? www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/uk-riot...

Trump is treating the US government like his piggy bank for his piggy hooves to plunder.

I see a lot of religious hypocrites practice the Catholic doctrine of ‘mental reservation’ or the lie of necessity - if there is a conflict between ‘justice’ & veracity, ‘justice’ that should prevail. With this get-out-of-jail-free card, any heinous lie that furthers their cause can be justified.

Donald Trump has destroyed the East Wing of the White House the right way. by Ezra Klein

Can you f’ing imagine if Obama tried to do this?

Not sure "if Trump could have silenced dissent by shutting down rallies, trampling on your freedoms, he would have" is quite the argument that the speaker thinks it is.

I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where he’s a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

Continuing their genocide.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Notice how the headline avoids mentioning that Trump rains oceans of shit on the protesters in the AI video.

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle. And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that

I love how kid-friendly today was, how kids came to proudly hold signs they made. #NoKings

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

There may not be obvious parallels with Jan 6th, conduct-wise, but the message is identical: laws are to be abused in pursuit of Trump’s foes & ignored in relation to his allies. He is telling his base that they can commit crimes with impunity. Fascism 101.

These freaks are so fucking creepy

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

tfw your 1,000-word tweets aren't working

wild hand jerking during Trump's handshake photo op with Orban

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.* You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

More of this, please.

In a world where most politicians won't mention trans people except to throw us under the bus, this ad from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is honestly such a breath of fresh air. youtu.be/bEvVSpN0BXg?...

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

Lower bills. Fund our NHS. Not their culture war nonsense. youtu.be/1CbN6TUTRZs?...

I spotted the white bolognese in my feed yesterday and made it last night. It was delicious, and there’s loads left for my freezer 😍

Connolly literally has repeatedly openly condemned Russia, including on radio today. Like, what exactly do you want from her? I have criticisms of Connolly (eg on Syria) but the Russia stuff is, with respect, complete horseshit

When I was homeless in 2019, the Salvation Army shelter refused to give me a bed (even though they were available), because I was on immunosuppressant meds and they didn’t want to be responsible or liable if I got more sick or died on premises. They’d rather I die on the street.
