Normie Republicans don’t have the same fashy bloodlust as the people running the Trump administration and their big donors and group chats bsky.app/profile/greg...

2026 is off to the most horrific of starts, between the murders of citizens in Minneapolis and elsewhere, to the inhumane crackdown on anyone not immediately white or possessing an accent. Now we go and lose the most brilliant Catherine O'Hara today and I... Rest in Peace, Ms. O'Hara.

Jesus Christ

The guy genuinely gave a shit. And the empathy vampires murdered him for it.

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Damn the soulless Nazis of Trumpism straight to Hell.

Scum seek jobs where they can act like scum with authority.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Frey: "Beyond leaving the scene, they should also leave our city and our state ... crime is down. What this federal administration is doing right now is not about creating safety. Do not let them tell you that what they are do is about creating safety. It is not. It is having the opposite impact."

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Never let a single goddamned person on the Right ever claim again that they’re the party of law and order without laughing in their lying face.

Bonne Année, everyone!

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Wow! What an incredible game and series. Yamamoto is absolutely the WS MVP. Just… wow! Playoff baseball is amazing.

Finally, after 18 innings/six hours and forty minutes of game three, Freddie Freeman and those ridiculously bright white teeth of his end it with a walk-off HR. Playoff baseball is just awesome! Will Klein, Shohei, just incredible.

Shohei freaking Ohtani! Now THREE home runs in this game, plus pitching a gem at the same time. Playoff baseball is amazing.

Six year anniversary of this debate of substantive legal issues

Lol. “‘A house divided against itself cannot stand’ -Abraham Lincoln” - Lakshya Jain Very much shades of this:

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Bluesky is full of agitated people giving advice that will get you killed or might, MIGHT, result in your acquittal after the complete destruction of your life. Real life ain’t a flame war, kids.

(Reuters) - FEMA staff left baffled after the disaster agency’s head said during a briefing that he hadn’t been aware the US has a hurricane season. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fema-staff-confused-after-head-said-he-was-unaware-us-hurricane-season-sources-2025-06-02/

Q: GP II says they are like big and little brother: Buddy: "Gary's the clumsy [brother] always doing the dumbest stuff ever." Jimmy: You literally wore the wrong shorts! The audacity" Buddy: "Somehow he lost his joy (air quotes)" Jimmy "Do you even know what those are?" Buddy: "Two fingers"

I’ve been wanting to write this for a while. So I finally did.

I agree. Slo-mo, ongoing, with an administration engaged in frog-boiling

I have to believe at this point that Alito and Thomas are pleased that things are finally happening the way they've always wanted them to

The administration's demands were so nakedly totalitarian I think they had little choice.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

the three of us are having a conversation

Sign of the day…Chicago

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity. Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

Trust is gained in drops and lost in buckets.

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

@gpgomez.bsky.social - I just noticed last night when finally seeing a post of yours after a really long time in my feed, that suddenly it was showing me as not following you & the same w/your following me. I’ve not posted much due to health issues, but we haven’t blocked each other, so an error?

Ehh…yet again back in an infusion chair for 6-8 hours. Bonne année, indeed…

Kamala Harris has always been black, and Donald Trump has always been a liar. Like the original iteration, Trump’s neobirtherism tells a racist story about what’s wrong with America www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

First post, here goes: Hello, is there anybody in there? Just knock if you can hear me. Is there anyone home?
