I just found out that I can get my feelings hurt by a reptile.

Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried and voted out of office.

Still waiting for @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to put an actual trans person or Palestinian on his podcast. It's weird how all the people stanning him for president are fine with him platforming unlimited genocidal fascists and exactly zero (0) of the people they want to oppress.

Tell you what, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social. If not having trans people on your podcast (despite having a bunch of transphobes talking shit about us) is somehow an oversight, invite us on. Talk to trans people.

very important thread, here. 1/x One of the earliest written examples of the word "fuck" is this, Fuckebegger (1286/7), part of the last name of one of Edward I’s grooms:

Another community member said: “Things that are happening today in our city were unthinkable yesterday. And we have to assume that what is unthinkable today may happen tomorrow.” This is precisely why we all need to be doing what we can, right now, no matter how big or small. 6/n

“So many people forget that the first country the Nazis invaded was their own.”

My phone is about 7-ish years old (it says it’s an iPhone SE, but I don’t know which generation), and the only reason I’m thinking about getting a new phone is because planned obsolescence is making it less functional by the day. If I could use this phone forever, I would.

Friendly reminder to refer to it as Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). The word porn implies it was made with consent, and CHILDREN cannot consent to it.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

I've reached my lifetime quota for "interesting times." Give me bland times. Boring times. Normie times, one could even say. Times that are both dull and unexciting. Load me up with times that feel stale and uninspiring. That's the good stuff right there.

Why must anyone have faith in a process that has failed us for our entire lives?

This was always the goal of ICE from its inception. It exists to commit ethnic cleansing and no other reason.

Right, except without consequences, there’s no reason for them not to ignore this ruling and keep doing it anyway. Court rulings don’t mean anything anymore. They need to be abolished, arrested, and prosecuted, or they need to be put in the ground. Nothing else is acceptable.

What we need right now is strength and Tim Walz is not demonstrating that. His state is under siege and he’s begging King Trump to be merciful. Idiotic.

Shot FOUR times and they let her bleed out.

This comic strip is still published in a small handful of newspapers, but posting it gets an “adult content” flag. Somehow, I see this as a condemnation of both this weird-ass comic AND Bluesky’s useless and inconsistent moderation.

The company that had to shut down 400 stores this month thinks incelposting is going to to bring customers back

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California. So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

"ICE is out of control and beyond reform. We must fundamentally change the way we approach immigration: it’s time to abolish ICE." See, Dems? You can actually say it, and even draft legislation about it! It's possible to do!

Progressives win, centrists don’t. Yet the Dem establishment keeps alienating progressive candidates and voters and shoving centrists down our throats anyway. It’s like they WANT to lose.

Because they fired it into the fucking car, you fascist asshole!

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

better training

everyone who was mad about Trump's "dictator on day one" promise in 2024 has been fully vindicated. and if you were part of the crowd saying it was trump derangement syndrome to take him seriously i don't think we can fully trust your judgment about where his 2nd term is headed

brunch with the crunch bunch

Hate him for his opinions on the homeless, hate him for his opinions on trans people, and I super hate him now.

"illegal immigrant" is a fascist dogwhistle made up in the reagan era to bring racism back to politics and if you use the phrase uncritically you're a racist nazi

It’s crazy how it’s suddenly “wow we live in a police state” when it happens to white people

He walked it back because every time he's in a room with a far-right conservative he agrees with them on everything. Given his track record with the homeless, and empowering tech-bros it's safe to say this is who he really is.

Is it okay if we immigrants start calling them death camps now, or will that keep upsetting citizens

I'm loathe to post anything from the Washington Post, but I can't find anything about this anywhere else yet. This man isn't the first immigrant they've murdered. And he won't be the last. That's why it's imperative that everybody needs say that they should be abolished, period.

What are we even doing here?

If America makes it through this, anyone who murmurs platitudes about "binding up the nation's wounds" must be drummed out of public life. They tried that after the first phase of the civil war, and it just led to where they are now. The cancer must be excised and destroyed. Nothing else will work.

You do not deny medical care to someone who has been shot unless you want them dead. If you want them dead, you cannot say you killed them in self defense. This fact alone proves he murdered her.

Average BlueSky user: At this point ICE should consider themselves lucky if they only get Nuremberged. Doritios: That's right, king -- and YOU should consider YOURSELF lucky if you manage to grab a bag of our new Pistachio Cheddar Xplosion flavour. #nokings.

We'll just take all that good Senate money and teach them that you can only shoot people one time in the face every five minutes.

Newsom literally repeating Republican talking points (lies) about the last Democratic presidental nominee in a convo with Ben Shapiro... #NeverNewsom

the push for more training and body cams has *always* been a cover for increasing law enforcement budgets

you cannot "call for peace" when you are being assaulted... you must call for something else

there are not two sides bearing equal hostilities and aggression ... There are people with mask and guns and there are people with snowballs and whistles

US Custom and boarder Patrol and ICE have seized Minneapolis Killed a US Citizen Shot a US citizen Thrown a bomb in the car of US citizens kidnapped US Citizens Kidnapped undocumented people separated children from their parents damaged and destroyed millions of dollars in property

Gavin Newsom is a slick-talking rich transphobic cop-loving dishonest opportunist. He takes his marching orders from billionaires. Newsom is a phony. I think most Americans can see right through him. I don't think he stands a chance in the general. He's Joe Lieberman with better hair.

Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

the people of MN have been murdered, brutalized and kidnapped for weeks now and have remained *amazingly* peaceful in the face of it. lecturing citizens to not “take the bait” etc is pretty disrespectful after a point and avoids the real question: how long are they supposed to take this, undefended?

Regime forces are poisoning an entire American city with lethal gas, and no one in a position of political power is doing anything to stop it.

Preaching non-violence while people are being shot in the streets is the privileged position.
