I’m sorry but what’s with these high school prom outfits?! It looks like an episode of toddlers and tiaras. 😬 #loveislandreunion

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

I’m sorry but why is Charlie getting dumped when Taylor was right there and giving us nothing?! #loveislandusa

The writing and plot just went south in #handmaidstale We’ve been overexposed to the same close-ups, plot twists too many times. It has completely lost touch with plausibility, making it hard to feel that anything is at stake anymore. Where I used to be at the edge of my seat, now I just feel numb.

First JPMorgan, now MetLife keeps its 60% recession call — titling today’s note “Damaged Goods”: “Even if there is a near-term resolution of the tariff and other trade issues, damage has been done to the economy and to consumer expectations.”

1/7. In case you haven’t been following, here is a short summary of the misnamed Russian-American "peace process" regarding Ukraine.

Keep talking about Signalgate. Give them no peace.

Old F-18 fighter pilot here with 80+ combat missions - launch times on a strike mission ARE ABSOLUTELY CLASSIFIED.

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

Grant is just… #temptationisland

Just finished watching Adolescence on Netflix and holy crap, it ripped my heart out of my chest.

I have to say, after spending last week in London I now understand Hugh Grant’s annoyance with people with backpacks.

"Today’s meeting gave the lie to any claim that this admin’s policy is driven by any strategic effort to advance the interests of the U.S. ... Trump & Vance displayed in the Oval Office a highly personal hatred. There was no effort here to make a case for American interests." is.gd/W0PC8F

Ben washing his hair every OTHER week?!?! Stop it! #loveisblind

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Kathy is so unintentionally funny. She’s the real life Moira Rose. #mountainsoutofmolehills #rhobh

JUST IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Never in the history of EVER were the people who were against diversity, equity or inclusion the good guys.

Worst mass shooting in Swedish history. My heart breaks for my homeland and everyone affected by this horrific crime. 😔💔 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/w...

Paradise on Hulu is a great show. Four episodes in and the surprises keep coming. I’m hooked!

The sad irony of MAGAs obsession with DEI and lip service to the importance of getting the most qualified person for the job…is not lost on the rest of us. Have there ever, in the history of this country, been a group of less qualified people in its positions of power?

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek rocked global technology stocks Monday, raising questions over America’s technological dominance

honestly, i'm enjoying silicon valley's meltdown over deepseek, probably a lot more than i should

First of all, I can’t focus on what Kyle is saying when she talks like she burned the inside of her mouth. Second, what exactly has Dorit done to her for her to keep saying “she’s been a bad friend to me”? It can’t be the #bravocon thing can it? What exactly is she referring to? #rhobh #bravo

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

Should we have a lot more preventable deaths and a lot more needless suffering? Let's debate both sides.

Fairness doesn't mean telling both sides if one side is lying.

Imagine if we gave murdered women the same attention as murdered CEOs.

Pete Hegseth's double standards: He doesn't think women should serve in combat – but he sure wants his mommy fightin' his battles.

So Pete Hegseth’s story is that he had consensual sex with a married woman whose husband and children were with her at a hotel for a Republican women’s event, two months or so after a woman with whom he had an extra-marital affair had his baby, and he’s a traditional family values champion?

The mistreatment of women, even the ones who do everything conservative men say they value, is not a one-time mistake but rather a deeply held distain and hatred of women. The misogyny not a bug, but an actual feature in the lives of these men. When we elect them, the message to all women is clear.

So if on Twitter it used to be called a “tweet”, what do we call it here on #bluesky ?

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!! How are you spending the day? I’m breaking with tradition this year and dining at a restaurant rather than putting on a feast at home. I’ve had so much quality time with my girls (home from school) instead of a week full of prep. Feels like I discovered a hack!

leaving Twitter felt like leaving an abusive relationship when you realize how much terrible stuff you endure just to experience a few flecks of good

“The woman who accused Hegseth of assault broke into tears when asked about the matter by CNN reporters last week and declined to comment.”

Call me crazy, but trump picking multiple people embroiled in sexual assault controversies to serve in his cabinet feels like a message to women all over this country that they want to control and dominate us.

Let’s be real, It was a slender victory, not a historic mandate. Sure he won, but it wasn’t the landslide they’re trying to make it out to be.

The Civics practice questions for citizenship interviews are becoming harder to answer…

No lie…

Looking at the Trump nominations…we really live in the stupidest of times.

Brand new here. Give me a follow so I can find you and your circle. After the last 8 years, I’m so tired of wading through all the misinformation, troll accounts and ever-increasing ads. Looking for community moving forward to propel hope and action and hoping this is the place.
