The Trumps are our Habsburgs

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

OK can we all just agree that the Oracle in Delphi was on some good shit?

@amanda-sharon.bsky.social Lady, you must feel alarmed. Follow a Leftie and they react! Ew! They're just supposed to take our watchful eye and our slimy grip! Well, we're not taking it anymore. Step down. You should learn from this and come out of it a better person. I truly believe in you.

@amanda-sharon.bsky.social who are you?

@xkcd.com I come to you humbly for help with a burning question (I do not want to do math and research right now): how many ferns and/or siliceous zooplankton does it take to make the petroleum that becomes one average, medium plastic food cup? What would the original volume of organic life be?

@wikipedia.org hello how do you think the public would respond if you listed citations before articles So many people just never make it that far in articles, what if you had to put a short qualitative summary paragraph about the sources at the head of the article?

2025 looks a lot like 1938. Outrage when MAGA is affected but crickets when it’s against anyone else.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

Porn exists Get over it The internet would be a better place 1) folks get over their fear of porn 2) people parent their kids 3) we bring back kid centric sites

1. 4 months ago, The Supreme Court gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education in schools. Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in. Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right. Subscribe to support our journalism.

i’ll never get over how some people pointed out trump was going to do project 2025 and then eventually the media asked trump if he was going to do project 2025 and he said “never heard of it” and the media decided he surely couldn’t be lying about that one

The Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to Greta Thunberg & the participants of the Sumud Flotilla for being able to break the genocidal Israeli blockade after 19 years and for successfully promoting human rights and international law by putting their lives at risk. @nobelprize.bsky.social

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state. The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

The case may be the first documented incidence of a documented Oregonian and U.S. citizen being swept up by ICE in an immigration raid.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Secretary Noem appeared on the upper roof of the Portland ICE facility, surrounded by a small entourage of video recording staff. Then she left the roof. Multiple reports suggest that was her, way up on the roof.

Speaker Mike Johnson is seen, in 2024, with Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. all linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump Jr. is also present, known for his public and personal ties to Andrew Tate, who faces human-trafficking charges. #OpDeathEaters

Introducing the Mercury's newest column: The Black Byline by @donovanscribes.bsky.social. In this edition, Scribes applauds the intent behind the emergency World Naked Bike Ride, while reminding us not to forget the long-standing problems Portland is fighting to correct.

Greta Thunberg is not in the Epstein files, but Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump are.

“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.”

Hospitals must be ICE free zones. People must not be afraid to access medical care. ICE recently held a man with a broken leg for 37 days (!!!) handcuffed to a hospital bed. They put him under a pseudonym so no one could find him. They should never be allowed in healthcare facilities.

“DHS is terrorizing our communities and staging violent spectacles to produce fascist propaganda—and sometimes, for what appears to be purely recreational violence.”

tl;dr: Bluesky began with genuine promise: a new social media platform where users could feel safer, but inconsistent moderation quickly eroded trust. When systemically marginalized users pushed back, Bluesky’s leadership minimized concerns and began to target them for bans.

3 MAGA extremists have introduced a bill in South Carolina that would allow the state to execute women who get an abortion. South Carolina govt lists their cell phone numbers, in case you want to call them directly & let them know what you think. Details here: www.qasimrashid.com/p/s-carolina...

“Dear Lord, please help us vanquish our enemies (helpless brown kids that we trap in cages) and protect our neighbors (only the white ones) and feed the poor (only if we deem them worthy). And please make my hair extensions hold. Amen.”

Trump is so ai coded. Nothing he says makes sense. Highly influencable. Makes shit up and lies all the time. Gish gallop but it's just an AI who's been told to regurgitate authoritarian racist nationalist rhetoric and never admit wrongdoing.

this is an especially good thing to hammer because it wedges the WH away from congressional Republicans
