Fetterman voting with the GOP to block efforts to rein in Trump's illegal war is sickening. I lived in PA for years. If this is what we can expect, Fetterman should be removed.

NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson? WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.

I don't know who needs to know this... but... A VPN is not a privacy application. It doesn't hide your location data, specifically. It doesn't encrypt your data, specifically. All it does is route your traffic through a single server somewhere else. Let me explain. Or don't, this is the internet.

people have been lied to about this. the GOP, the NYT, and sundry centrists have spread this bullshit story where kids are being bum rushed into surgery by a shadowy conspiracy of endocrinologists and gender ideologues

What we are seeing is a deliberate, well-funded campaign to make transgender Americans second-class citizens—without legal protections and vulnerable to state violence.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

I am in Fort Worth, Texas, covering the Justice Department's first trial against antifascism as "terrorism." The "Prairieland 9" protesters are accused of attacking an ICE facility last summer ... but there's much more to this story than that. Writing a story in the coming days.

This man cheated on his wife with his aide, who later committed suicide by burning herself alive. The fact this is even a run-off...

Yeah like to put things in perspective, the damage done by Sergey Brin’s ex-wife single handedly funding large segments of the anti-vax movement probably undid shitloads of positive public health work done through philanthropy. The ability to use that money for evil shit is just far greater.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

What the fucking fuck There is NO reason for this shit

Quakertown PA MAGA police chief puts a 15-year old girl in a reverse chokehold and SHE is being prosecuted for aggravated assault?! 😡

It was just a misspoke you guys (From @atrupar.com )

Lol wtf

Now it’s Lebanon Why not? They already conquered America. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

"Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years." Sen. Tom Cotton.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

For the first time in Trump Regime 2.0, a federal judge has held a DOJ lawyer in contempt of court for violating her orders. My thoughts on why this should be recognized for its significance as the first step towards possibly throwing people in jail for noncompliance. youtu.be/4KzZIwgzxE8?...

OMFG they think we are the dumbest people who ever lived.

I’ve never actually seen antisemitism on Bluesky Anti-Israel, anti bibi, anti zionism (the “manifest destiny” of Israeli policy) but not anti Jewish people No slurs, no conspiracies about world domination, no Holocaust denial Either I’m very very lucky or it’s really just not happening very much

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE IS HEALTH CARE. Thank you to the NY Attorney General’s Office for affirming our community.

also this happened to a ton of trans women On Here over like a three day period

I’d love to laugh at Paul and say “LOL well let’s see what the public thinks about this!”, but the grim truth here is that it doesn’t matter what the public think. Narrowly in favour, overwhelmingly against: we will get the same shit regardless, because no part of this is up for debate.

I expect Trump to begin musing about using limited nuclear weapons soon enough. He’s now completely drunk with power.

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

I’m praying for you MAGA (derogatory)

Let's do a thread of hopeful and/or life affirming movies. Whatcha got? I'm going to be a basic bitch and start with 2025's Superman, which I thought was outstanding. I didn't think I could get behind a new Superman these days, but Corenswet was perfect.

Personal news update: I'm delighted to announce that as of today, I am an actual Bluesky employee! I'll be working to welcome indie media and local govt to Bsky—and supporting those already here. I'll always want to hear your thoughts on how we can make Bsky the sort of social media we all want!

Who cares what Reform think?! They’re NOT the Opposition! If it’s not obvious by now, Kuenssberg, the BBC, ITV… basically all mainstream news media, are pulling for Farage by parroting his talking points and positioning his party at the epicentre of everything.

No one has any idea what this war with Iran is about. What are Trump’s objectives? They don’t have nukes and aren’t close to having them. Trump isn’t clear why he’s bombing Iranians and getting US troops killed. He thinks attacks make him look strong. But we had a nuclear treaty and he tore it up

"After months and months of ceaseless whining about the doxxing of ICE agents, there hasn’t been a single peep from Attorney General Pam Bondi about the future of facial recognition in Meta glasses." Read more from @sarahjeong.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/88634...
