No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going. It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

I will happily bet you all the money I have that no real project (as in one that anyone watches) will come from this, this is a scam, and the more they pay to get press, the more obvious that the scam is. these are liars, they are scammers, they are frauds, and none of this will happen

@dennycarter.bsky.social @livingthestream.bsky.social @lateroundqb.bsky.social thanks for sharing that story Denny! It made me put my phone down to play with my dog (I don’t have kids) and appreciated it more after listening. You guys rule.

Uhhhhhhhh is the New England Patriots team plane doing an ICE flight right now? It just took off out of ICE detention hub airport. Military charter flights go out of there occasionally too, but with a different callsign. Not certain but very weird! 🤔

European political scientists are blue in the face from constantly pointing out that accommodating the far right does not help centre-left parties win, and contributes to the rise of far-right parties. There's a mountain of data to support that. But no, the galaxy-brained strategists must be right.

and yet the intensity of reporting around trump and affordability has not reached 1/10000th the intensity it had under biden. the msm is not emphasizing this issue and its because theyre trying to help trump and the gop.

@danrubenstein.solidverbal.com @solidverbal.com @tyhildenbrandt.solidverbal.com incredible call on the score Ty, if it gets home or not. 59 minute bet rule applies

South Carolina is knock-off Auburn.

One of the bigger Woofs ever

just a reminder this guy slashed the tires on his much younger female coworkers tires to trick her into getting in his car he was married at the time

@whitehouse.senate.gov they are laughing at you, Senator. They are calling you a pussy. You deserve is for your capitulation

Turned out “each other” was the bigger fight 🤷🏻‍♂️ this is a “good” pol and he’s terrible

every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way. Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August. Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Yes it is.

@sickoscommittee.org please check out ISU missed XP

You can't make this up.

So many own goals. Once again: higher ed is one of our most successful exports. We export more higher ed to China than soybeans. And yet Trump and the mini-Trumps are deliberately destroying the quality of our product

Against all odds covering college football has made me a huge stan for the American higher education system

Cannot describe how I feel about taking away SNAP benefits. The lowest of the low. And then trying to push that chaos to further your own power. One of the worst things I have ever seen.

Gallego: "How can I negotiate? The president is in Asia for 5 days. Johnson is basically keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles. So who am I negotiating with right now?"

Finally some evidence why kickers now make 60-yarders all the time. K ball is the answer.

@chriswarcraft.bsky.social knowledge it’s now exactly your bailiwick, but do you think that 53-yard FG at the end of the half was short because they were rushing and couldn’t get a K ball in?

Republicans keep you from getting food and when there is food they throw it out right in front of your face

Did the New York Times have an editorial meeting where they said something like “these are trustworthy people, we should take their word, put it headlines, that’s good journalism.” Did they go so far as to say “we should help the Trump administration sell this action”? Or do they just sorta do it?

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

French philosopher and novelist Jean-Paul Sartre knew what made fascists tick. badfaithtimes.com/its-one-long...

This is how authoritarianism cements itself in power and crushes opposition, all while the eggheads debate if it's fascism or something else.

10 years of Donald Trump and Democrats literally have not learned a single thing. A losing party of losers.

I keep seeing posts about why Bluesky isn't growing faster or why its not working and I just dont understand why people care. I don't want everyone here. I just want to be on social media without getting yelled at by assholes. Isn't that why most of are here? As far as I'm concerned, it's working

Gonna have to teach everyone from scratch that the president isn't your boss, he's your employee

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

not enough money to protect Ukraine's democracy but plenty to bail out this crypto dork after he tanked his economy

For those doing fantasy football content on Bluesky. I want to help by amplifying folks who are bringing the goods. I just added @john-hesterman.bsky.social to the new pack. This pack is for folks who are active with FF and NFL draft content. Please share and suggest new adds. go.bsky.app/KHvd5Jj

The road to Trump’s Project 2025 fascism is lined with smiling people telling you to stop overreacting.
