Thanks to the @vtbookfest.bsky.social I was able to interview author Marcy Dermansky! #Books #Reading #BookList #ReadingList #MarcyDermansky

I used to do author and celebrity interviews for my job, but official nonsense made me stop. I decided to start up again for myself... so here's @adacalhoun.bsky.social: www.tutorialsmith.info/adacalhoun.h...

Terrorism has no black and white definition, but it does include an element that the goal exceeds personal gain. Narco traffickers are only in it for personal gain. There’s no such thing as a “narco terrorist”. Few would support the military killing narco traffickers, so a new word needed invented.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Funny how 7-10 million of us managed to gather all over the country without a single violent incident that was not instigated by MAGA. But the minute a few hundred of us gather to protest ICE we turn into violent rioters who need to be pepper sprayed? Smells like, complete and utter bullshit.

Murrrrrrrrrrrrr I just wanna sleep more but I'm getting up. ...Slowly.

@mta.info needs to answer for there not being a monthly option for #OMNY now that MetroCards are gone. I was hoping for one more affordable monthly card to get me a month into the new year but all the machines are gone already. You are leaving working class NYers behind. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Starbucks employees escalated their strike on Black Friday, expanding to 120 stores and 85 cities. Their CEO took home $96 million while refusing to negotiate a living wage for workers. Boycott Starbucks. Stand with the employees. Support local independent coffee shops:

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

🤣🤣

big bugs bunny getting elmer fudd to marry him vibes in the white house currently i see

That Trump / Mamdani press conference was so weird. Donald was so tame, like Zohran was taking a pig for a walk.

It's been years but I maintain that a good first date location with a man (as a woman) is a barcade You can assess how he handles getting absolutely waxed in air hockey or a dumb fps game by a woman

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

What the fuck is wrong with him? And why the fuck isn’t every report in the pool shouting him down?

I have cranberries, but this is great!

One more... Unless someone makes one where he's riding the horse...

Whoever is making these hilarious memes should be ashamed of themselves. Just stop it.

This needs to get a LOT of traction.

Trump says MTG has gone "far left". Look, she's a staunch conservative. She can't even see the centerline from where she sits on domestic policy. When you're so far to the right that MTG looks like she is in far left field... you're a terrorist.

Official U.S. Government account refers to its citizens as "imbecilic morons".

psst this is a secret we don’t want the media to find out: if we went after white collar criminals with a fraction of the resources we spend locking up minorities from disadvantaged areas, we’d have a lot fewer disadvantaged areas

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

This is literally insane.

A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

Great idea!

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Say it isn’t so! We’re not welcome in states with the lowest ranks in education and life expectancy. And the highest ranks in maternal mortality and crime. So unfair!

This is even funnier now

I feel another fake assassination attempt coming

just can’t 😂😂😂

#Voters #MadeTheirPoint Love this cartoon 🌊🌊💙

Congress has worked 83 days this year. The Senate has worked 60. They are shutting down the government over alledge work requirements for Medicaid.

Fucking truth.

"Hi, I'm Sandwich Guy. The only thing I'm guilty of is enjoying this fresh, cold, delicious, turkey-filled... cold-cut combo from Subway. I eat three every day to help keep me strong!"

This is a huge win for democracy and decency. Bucks County voters just sent a clear message: hate, extremism, and book bans don’t represent our values. 🌊💙👇

This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now. 100% serious here.

Thinking this level of inequality is unsustainable isn’t radical, thinking it isn’t is

I love how stupid assholes are demanding Zohran Mamdani deliver on every promise instantly, as if corporatists always deliver on their promises, much less make any promises worth wanting. As if the entire billionaire establishment isn’t going to do everything they can to stop him. Just STFU. 😂

I feel a true spark of hope for the first time in 365 days ✨
