We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

Why should Bessent be treated with any more respect than Bondi or Patel or Hegseth. Bessent is using the same demagoguery about No Kings, and at Treasury is a participant in the Trumpist authoritarian project. The fact that he's a rich Wall Street guy makes his complicity less, not more, excusable.

It's worth noting that Trump and Republicans repeatedly criticized the Biden administration for pressuring social media companies into removing content in the past.

Going live! Remember on bluesky that reposts boost the people you like, there’s no algorithm so likes don’t help!

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

I think so far he has been the best defenseman

All signs point to the Habs management duo of Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes finalizing extensions soon. Both are on expiring deals this season. First to report, /FriedgeHNIC

Man it is nice to see a #76 do great things for the Habs again. Love Bolduc GoHabs!

Letitia James. Lisa Cook. Fani Willis. Gwynne Wilcox. Carla Hayden. Telita Crosland. Peggy Carr. And the 300,000 Black women who have lost their jobs since January.

Well done to the Leafs. Great tribute to Ken Dryden

somehow congressional republicans are keenly aware of every drag queen story hour in america but are totally unaware of trump's corruption and dictator threats. weird! and of course, the mainstream media never calls them on this.

The Walrus published the chapter from my book Habs Nation on the Habs & the two solitudes: "The English and French can both agree that we live and die with le bleu-blanc-rouge, but in some ways, we don’t see the same thing when we go to the Bell Centre." thewalrus.ca/montreal-fig...

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

@rapidwriter.bsky.social This is also the way. Ridicule

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.

Just read a pretty terrifying text from my niece in Chicago. ICE snipers firing rubber bullets from rooftops at protestors, neighbors trying to bar an ICE raid on an elementary school. Last thing my niece said was "get me out of here." Trump trying to start a civil war.

The Littlest Hobo was loyal, brave and kind, and a good example for all of us. You can find my new shirt design in my merch shop here 👇 www.ohcanadashop.com/collections/...

Can Miller really believe this? If so, he is delusional. If not, then he’s a reprehensible demagogue.

MAGA Republicans just shut the government down rather than reverse their savage cuts to the health care of our people. Cut out the stupid racist videos & let’s pass federal funding which keeps the people healthy & our government going. My full statement:

'Reconciliation isn't just about the Indigenous people and the government and the churches. It's about every Canadian. We all have to work at this if we want it to work. We have to put an effort into it,' says Two-Spirit Elder Charlotte Nolin. Watch more: www.aptnnews.ca/ourstories/r...

‘Like a gut punch’: English producers stunned they were excluded from Quebec report on local TV business

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

"Tylenol is dangerous for women and children," say men who have spent the last eight years making life more dangerous for women and children

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

If Pope Leo has not canonized Charlie Kirk by April 20th we will prosecute. by Pam Bondi

Oh, would you look at that? open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*. There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

WWJD? Not what Kilmeade said on Foxnews

I'm not downplaying Charlie Kirk's murder. It was a horrible crime and a human tragedy. What angers and disgusts me was the reaction of the President, his supporters, and the media. They just couldn't wait 48 hours to find out the real facts, before weaving some fantasy about left-wing death squads.

all i know for certain is jesse watters should never be allowed in front of a camera again in his life, the bloodlust for democrats he espoused and the violence he tried to inspire before knowing a single freaking fact of this case should be a source of shame for any “news” network

100% true.

my entire bluesky feed is people speaking out against political violence, meanwhile right wingers are foaming at the mouth calling for blood

This is one of the many, many reasons we should all condemn the celebration of political violence, as Kirk did here: You often don't get to decide when to dismount the tiger. It eats you first.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "Politics is not really left versus right. It's much more top versus bottom. And so many of the people who voted for Donald Trump here in Texas... are suddenly realizing that they've been conned."

This is fucking crazy. This was Saturday's protest in Washington DC against the pedophile president's fascist military takeover of their neighborhoods. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

Whether it’s Michelle Obama suggesting kids exercise instead of watching tv or RFK Jr. telling kids to drink raw milk instead of taking vaccines, both figures took a controversial approach to children’s health.
