Hunger isn’t a failure of policy, it’s a strategy of control. When a government makes survival conditional, obedience becomes the currency. Starvation is not reform. It’s coercion. #DefendDemocracy #HumanRights

Kristi Noem is lying.

Every time #Florida tried to regulate polluters, the polluters bought enough politicians to make the state back off -- hence the rampant contamination of FL waterways. An investigation by the @tampabaytimes.bsky.social that quantifies the damage done. project.tampabay.com/investigatio...

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum. www.pbump.net/o/yes-most-a...

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."

So this story is super duper interesting for a whole ton of reasons, but one big one is its a very rare glimpse into the private valuation of high-end exploits held by major defense contractors bsky.app/profile/lega...

A high-pitched shriek that only bats (and certain dogs) can hear just blasted out of Air Force One. #Stagflation

Why would someone pay $20k for a robot controlled by a human in a remote location to do things more slowly and clumsily when the median wage for a maid or housekeeper is $33k per year, which is typically spread across 10-20 households?

FIRE THIS CRIMINAL LIAR NOW!

👀 BBC: Investigation after woman left behind by cruise ship dies on island "An 80-year-old Australian woman has been found dead on a Great Barrier Reef island after being left behind by the cruise ship she was travelling on. The woman had been hiking on Lizard Island, 250km (155 miles) north […]

i know there is a history here with Bo French but i also think it can’t really be overstated just how much X has done to make people feel comfortable using this type of bottom feeding message board language in public

I'm told that during the editorial call where Bari Weiss pitched bringing on Dan Brown to talk about The Louvre heist, CBS Mornings executive producer Shawna Thomas chimed in to correct her, saying "I think its more The Thomas Crown Affair."

They fear speech. Wole Soyinka, Nigerian Nobel laureate and Trump critic, says US visa revoked www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying “we have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.

He is a brutal dictator ! Nigerian Nobel laureate's visa yanked after comparing Trump to brutal dictator: report www.rawstory.com/trump-review...

The UFC fighter who said he’d take a bullet for Trump won’t even take a Band-Aid for him now. He claims Trump is the Antichrist.

yeah but everything is just fine... after all trump just told us so it must be true

And then used public funds to harass them for talking about it. Oh, and the grandma-killing, and abusing executive power badly enough to get slapped down by SCOTUS.

There are still heroes in journalism. “On Sunday, the newspaper inserted an acknowledgement of the Amazon donation into the editorial – but only once [ @bgrueskin.bsky.social ] noted its absence in a social media post and made inquiries at the paper. It did not flag the alteration for readers.”

Bravo!

could be a win-win

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

CNN’s CEO Mark Thompson reportedly told staff to ease off on coverage of Trump demolishing the east wing for his ballroom after visiting the White House. Another outlet obeying in advance. Off the cliff we go. 😕 🇺🇸 www.status.news/p/mark-thomp...
