Just calling balls and strikes and a secret third category we just made up.

Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

Wow.

If you are paying a subscription fee for the Atlantic at this point you either want to fund transphobia or misinformation.

Got my copy of Vesta Mandate by @storygameschicago.bsky.social in the mail. Looks cool as hell.

This can't be reformed. These people can't be redeemed. The entire system must be dismantled and every single person who is part of it must be tried for their crimes against humanity.

We need to stop treating Trump’s interference in midterms as a hypothetical. He’s already interfering with the vote, as I told @briantylercohen.bsky.social. ICE terrorizing blue cities, DOJ demanding voter rolls, FBI seizing ballots all intended as voter suppression www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNfH...

So fucking grim.

We're about 30 hours in and Blades '68 has had the strongest debut for any BackerKit project we've done 18 stretch goals unlocked, with more to come. So grateful to our 2700+ backers for this outpouring of support. You've really exceeded our expectations. Thank you. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

And what awaits these clients in Texas? Unspeakably cruel and inhumane treatment. 1. Rotten food. I had a client explain she had to make a half-pint of milk and an apple last every day because the other meals consisted of spoiled or rotten food. One client wasn’t fed for >36 hours. 21/

Lol splurging on rotisserie chicken. Do you hear yourself? I bet in your print edition you have a tour of some gen x or boomers fucking yacht.

FIFA is about to announce that Trump has won the FIFA gold medal in ski jumping.

This was October: discord.com/press-releas... And now discord again wants our IDs or facial recognition data? Are they crazy?

The people who thought Bad Bunny was divisive are, if anything, more incensed by “we are america,” in their terms it’s the most offensive and outrageous thing he could have said

This is straight up manufacturing consent now

I'm not kidding when I say this should be illegal, even if it weren't also a transparent scam on this idiot's part.

Representative delauro thinks we serve her, not the other way around. Primary her out.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

The FBI was ready to document blood splatter and bullet holes in Renee Good’s car. That’s the type of forensic investigation that could confirm murder. They were ordered to stop. Kash Patel was one of the people who gave the order. It was always a lie and a cover up:

Literally the easiest form of solidarity. #DeleteTheApp

These Klansman must be barred forever from all government employment.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Make sure your local conservative knows the blood on their hands.

Good to see my state leading on this.

Normal things from our normal president.

This rules.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer. (I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades

1. Build huge subscriber base by telling them their $ supports democracy. 2. Don’t establish other revenue sources. 3. Rug-pull subscribers by pushing opinion side to the right. 4. Subscribers leave, revenue falls. 5. Enact crippling newsroom cuts.

Ok but look on the bright side. At least the Acolyte didn't get a second season bsky.app/profile/carl...

the problem is that entire generation of dems and their younger disciples are all elitist pricks who think one of their main jobs is to discipline their base, NOT reflect that base's policy preferences. which is why we need to kick every last one of them out of office

I live in Mpls proper. I am most frequently in the Columbia Heights business corridor - my favorite laundromat, Korean grocery store, Aldi, and thrift store are all within a few blocks of each other here. Our cities, our communities aren’t separated at all. We are each other’s business.

so the Fed Chair we've all been defending is a white supremicist. this country sucks dudes.

Any other time the president attending a celebration of a traitors birthday with 200 other rich and powerful racists would be a news story.

love to let my friend, the most famous pedophile in the world, know i think he is being poorly treated by the press

I'm so glad we can all agree Affinity tables suck to use. I took the time to record a quick tutorial on my (free) Patreon that teaches you the right tricks so you NEVER have to use them ever again for your TTRPG rolling tables and other layout needs. Share it, and please join my (free!!) Patreon

Trans liberation did not “go too far”, the right created a moral panic with deceitful propaganda < nested thread > The same playbook as when they ginned up supposed grassroots opposition to abortion

Theres a protest at their offices on Friday next week (30th) - 3-5pm www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

The chief federal judge in Minnesota excoriated ICE on Wednesday, saying it had violated nearly 100 court orders stemming from its aggressive crackdown in the state and had disobeyed more judicial directives in January alone than “some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Quote with 5 jobs you've had 1. Mental hospital floor staff. 2. Cook 3. Carnival Ride operator 4. Lawyer 5. Family law administrator

No one responsible for the formation of these agencies (DHS, ICE, CBP) and their orders sending squads of legit domestic terrorists onto our streets and into our neighborhoods should ever be allowed to experience another moment of peace or joy on this Earth.

This is the inevitable result of every paramilitary government agency.

You have to admit, that the Democratic pushback on immigrant-Kristallnacht being “maybe later, somewhere else and with body cameras,” is seriously darkly funny in its sheer stupidity.

Damn. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

NYT consistently finding new ways of losing.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.” Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity. So pathetic and weak.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

The executions will continue until morale improves
