Wow it's so refreshing to hear someone take this stand

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

The Trump administration's erasure of the scientific finding that emissions driving climate change endanger public health drew swift condemnation from Catholic leaders, who characterized the move as morally indefensible.

Fun fact: poetry is so central to Somalian culture that Somalia is often called “a nation of poets.” Not a surprise that a letter this beautifully written would come from that community in particular. This is kind of their whole deal.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

Let's not overlook this gem "I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future."

New: The Trump arrest of @donlemonofficial.bsky.social has backfired, giving biggest boost of his online career. In two weeks, he's gained 300k on Instagram, 140k on YouTube, 73% on Substack and started selling arrest-themed merch. "They elevated me," he said in interview wapo.st/3OfiGxz

hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.

The current structures of the internet give the most toxic elements of any broad community (fandoms/politics/hobbies etc) the ability to control the public experience of it. It takes work to carve out non toxic spaces. It all seems not great to me!

Seeing a bunch of leftists on here say they would vote 3rd party in 2028 kind of broke me Probably going to use this site a lot less

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store

Massive numbers of citizens are affected by each of the numerous misanthropic moves these monsters are making. Withholding food from hungry children here and starving children abroad. Decimating medical and public health research, tariffs that make drugs unaffordable for American manufacturers and

Elon Musk genuinely has to be regarded as one of history’s pre-eminent mass murderers

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Brough to you by the MAGA death cult

This is just unconscionable man

“The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights.”

Hahaha OK that's pretty good.

She’s right

Minneapolis was economically devastated by Operation Metro Surge, writes James Beard-winning Oglala Lakota chef Sean Sherman, suffering $10-$20 million in weekly losses. "This isn't just immigration enforcement. This is economic sabotage wrapped in racism." talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/congres...

If I block you it’s only because I don’t care to hear what you have to say

When people read current writing on immigration a few decades from now, it'll hit the same as a reading the way people wrote about "the Jewish problem" in the 1930s. Just loads of well-educated and seemingly normal people accepting a monstrous normative frame as though it's natural.

"Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape, sources said."

Rhetorial question but how is it ice's job to go after agitators

Walz: "We've got children that a core memory for them will be their classmate being taken away. That will stick with them the rest of their lives. My hope is what sticks with them is human decency wins out, rule of law matters ... "

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

Also, many ICE arrests were random or nearly random. Scooping up anyone who wasn’t white. There’s a reason they use “arrests” and not deportations or detentions - because a huge number of their arrests were pointless terror tactics.

being called a racist genocide denier because I referred to "Indian" tribes, by someone who turns around and claims Frederick Douglass is an illiterate who didn't understand slavery, is such an incredible bit that I'm not sure it would work as fiction. it could only be real. it could only be bluesky

The casting of Obama as the Perfect Centrist also neglects that he: *deprioritized removals of longtime residents *gave legal protections to Dreamers and even tried to extend them to millions of parents of US citizens/LPRs (court blocked) *presided over Senate passage of legalization for millions

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

I don't know how much people think acting pays lol 😂

How Black Americans whose families have been here for generations, especially those who have been convicted of crimes or participate in political dissent, risk being swept up in Trump’s immigration dragnet:

Here's my Trans Allyship Bare Minimum litmus test: "obviously I would vote for Gavin Newsom over JD Vance"

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
