the fascism is for sure happening now. all the far flung harms you anxiously laughed off before are on the table. take time to think earnestly and calmly what you need to do to stay safe and survive. the time for brushing it off as alarmism or prematurity is over.

Jesse Welles has been making social commentary in his songs for years. Give him a listen. youtu.be/UCBkt5Nt1wo?...

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app. i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

Bluesky engineers when their website is successful

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

there’s no other way to put this other than full military invasion into america

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Ok. Crazy idea time: I think in 5 years Bale and Nolan should return to adapt The Dark Knight Returns. It'd be about the right time, age wise.

like seriously this is soooooo fixable. it's so fixable! just stop digging the hole deeper!!!!!!! dig UP stupid!!!!!!!!

i feel like the bluesky team, or at least maybe jay in particular, has an attitude that everyone hates them forever irredeemably even though most people i've spoken to about this are disappointed, upset, and bewildered, with a strong sentiment that we'd just like them to stop fucking around already.

for those interested, this is where you pay us (Blacksky)

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

You, what do you own the world?

I think, as a planet, we've moved on from heatwaves to heat-tsunamis.

Baseball achievements be like: "José Armando Gutierrez Rodriguez is the first pitcher in MLB history to hit a home run who also has 3 surnames and got hit by a 1996 Saturn SL1 as a child

One good thing about neopronouns is the amount of "Hardly Know'em" jokes that have now entered the realm of possibility. Warfare? I hardly know'faer!

I'm going to start a Midwest- themed rock duo called "Y'all and Opes"

"Candidacy" but pronounced "Candid-ussy"

My dumb ass just now: "We hear so much about former French colonies, former British colonies, former Spanish and Portuguese colonies, but why does no one ever talk about former *Italian* colonies???" 🤦‍♀️

Gender-affirming care is suicide prevention. Please get clear on that.

ABOLISH ICE NOW

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

Rest in power 🖤🖤🖤

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

I love Gwen Stacy Spider-Woman, but "Ghost Spider" is the stupidest name for a hero I've ever heard.

Just wondering if anyone would have sagely scolded my ancestors in the camps if they said "Fuck Germany." Would you have called them bigots or said "Yeah the camps are bad but Germany has a right to exist?"

'Transgender' is just a trigger word he tosses out as rage bait. During last year's campaign he talked often of a boy going to school then coming home as a girl. 47 is too demented now to repeat a story more than one sentence long, so he's substituted "transgender for everybody."

Heritage Foundation called me an extremist for calling them out on their made up lies and statistics and trans people. www.wired.com/story/herita...

Deadnaming The Gulf of Mexico

You know how fascism requires a smaller and smaller ingroup as it develops? Well so does neoliberalism. Palestinians, trans people, disabled people...they become acceptable losses who must be sacrificed to "save democracy." The only way to defeat fascism is to leave no one behind.

lulz

The government is rounding people up and putting them into camps and nobody is talking about it as political violence Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The anti-trans side constantly used this exact and talking point about a 4000% increase in trans youth. Similarly, there was a change in diagnostic criteria along with increased access to care. It's the same exact playbook.

just found a bullet casing with the entire bee movie script on it

wasn't engraved. It was ink on a metal surface in the rain that miraculously didn't run.

I started a convo w/ my partner by saying "Today's Daily Shooting..." I genuinely hate this fucking country.

cops lately when they see any bullet casing

shout out to our dipshit vice president @jd-vance-1.bsky.social on tweeting out disinformation already you fucking ham-fisted buffoon

RFK is so full of shit. *Vaccines* cause autism, *Tylenol* transes your gender.

Rapture? I hardly know'er!

Reminds me of how the Koch brothers funded the “grass roots” tea party.

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

He does know that trans people are still held accountable for sexual crimes, right? Like being trans doesn't just give you invulnerability from moral or legal consequences like being rich does.
