What a life!! Much to learn from LaFayette.

What a lineup!

Golden, Landsman, Cuellar, Vargas

Who has the roll call with the 4 Democrats who voted no?

I like this

This looks intriguing!

I just checked - the cheapest I could get a pair of tickets for is ~$250 a ticket. I know it's a monster game, but there has to be a way for us non-uber wealthy or connected people to get into this game!!!

I think I speak for all of Bluesky when I say it was incredibly disappointing not to get to watch in realtime Noem finding out

BOOOO it's ending and nobody told her

Ugh, I always dislike the people who say "I have more of a comment than a question."

Roses are red Orchids are wired

Is it true that Markwayne's mother put both names - Mark and Wayne - on his birth certificate, intending to later shorten his name to one of the two, but ultimately never did?

I love that I found out Kristi Noem got fired in a social media post in a social media post quoting a social media post

This is the way.

I’m starting to realize my excessive use of exclamation points makes me sound unhinged!!!!!

And just like that, I am the proud owner of this book about Edgar Allen Poe recommended to me by @portersqbooks.bsky.social just a half hour ago!!! As I said to Josh: social media recommendations can lead DIRECTLY to sales!!!!!

Why not abolish the senate at this point? They clearly don’t want to do the job

That feeling when I finally reply to an email that was sent to me February 10th….

I don’t know if this is legally murder, but it almost certainly morally murder

Good grief

Guys, if you find yourself being like "well I hate to say it, but this Nazi has a good point..." Maybe sit with it for a minute before publicly aligning yourself with said Nazi? Journal? Leave it in drafts? You absolutely don't have to hand it to them.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump: "Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Did you know Latino men have the US’s highest risk of new HIV infections? They are 72% more likely to be diagnosed than the general population—and in Minneapolis, they are skipping clinic visits for fear of ICE, report @cameronoakes.bsky.social & @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social

Note to my Congressperson @whipkclark.bsky.social: Abolishing ICE is now popular! Hooray!

Not loving “it is so much worse than you thought” from my Senator. Because [and here I have to note I am no Iran/geopolitical/military expert] I already thought it was really really really bad.

Is #BalletSky a thing? Have a #parenting question I thought I’d throw out to the void. My 5yo loves “March of the Toy Soldiers” from the Nutcracker—both music & dance—he has been doing the “bum da da bum da bum da bum” constantly. Besides The Nutcracker, what other ballets might a 5 year old like?

A federal judge in New Jersey will now require immigration officials to formally declare that they are aware of court orders that bar migrants from being transferred out of state, after the government repeatedly flouted those directives.

Another solid #Celtics win, which brings me great joy.

I NEED the #mapoli folks who freaked out about Deval Patrick’s drapes early in his first term in 2007 to go BALLISTIC right now

Israeli media saying Israeli officials claim his body was found and he is dead…

Here’s my Congresswoman’s statement. #mapoli #ma05

“What is most striking is not merely that diplomacy failed, but that it failed amid visible progress. Mediators were openly discussing a viable framework; both sides had demonstrated flexibility... Peace was not naïve. It was plausible.” theconversation.com/iran-has-bee...

So, this is undoubtedly good advice. At the same time, I feel compelled to keep reading the news on trusted sites, and, yes doomscroll in a perhaps ill advised bout of needing to feel “informed” (whatever that means in this information ecosystem).

Being an antiwar Diaspora Jew at this historical moment means being caught between an Israeli government that thinks we’re disloyal and doesn’t care if its actions lead to more global antisemitism, and populists on right and left who think we’re loyal to Israel above all else.

Yes…. And….if he *had* gotten Congressional approval…would it be ….good???

Fascists need war. It is entirely unsurprising in every way that our power-hungry fascist is starting a war as poll numbers tumble. Predictability of course does not diminish the horror or immorality of this war, or the potential devastating consequences.

"To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight." Wonderful read from a wonderful mind: www.themarginalian.org/2026/02/27/e...

It’s the “Congratulations! You won capitalism!” policy — once you hit a billion, you’re done with the game.

For the first time in Gallup history — More Americans sympathize with Palestinians in the “Middle East Situation” than with Israelis. 41% Palestinians (+8) 36% Israelis (-10) Democrats: Palestinians +48 Independents: Palestinians +11 Ages 18-34: Palestinians +30 Ages 35-54: Palestinians +18

This is the way! This is absolutely the answer. Also even if it weren’t the answer, yeah for fifty MILLION I would find a mechanism to get it done.

To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; Hey, Bitch, the goyim are waking the fuck up

I am unfamiliar with Ami Fields-Meyer but this is a very good thread

I have a perhaps dumb question about ethics: the parenthetical here says Katelyn cannot donate due to covering these orgs — but can apparently fundraise for this good cause. What is the distinction?

This is a good thread on the responsibility to not be sloppy that we have in this moment:
