US can never be allowed to host an international sporting event again. I'm sad about that, but we've proven you cannot under any circumstances trust us.

I’ve always wanted to chant “We all hate you (clap clap clapclapclap)” straight to his face. Knicks fans: this is your chance.

Happy Pride! Every day for Pride 2026, I will be highlighting a Black, Brown, or Indigenous queer person, because we're not whitewashing Pride this year. Today is @gemafawell.bsky.social, a web developer, disability activist,

The worst part of all of this is that it's completely fucking unnecessary. We're not fighting over survival. There is enough for everyone. Except the people who already have way too much--more than even their grandchildren could ever need--want more, so now we are fighting for survival.

Eighteen people have died in ICE custody in the first five months of this year. ICE is on pace to pass last year’s toll, which was already the highest in two decades. So what is ICE doing about it? It is making the deaths harder to count.

This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

A historic settlement returns $8.5 million and land to Black families in Portland, Oregon, who were displaced by a decades-old redevelopment scheme — and sets a precedent for cities nationwide.

Nothing says “USA! USA!“ like packing food pantry items for panicked neighbors who don’t know what the fuck is going on with SNAP benefits into 🎆 AMERICA 250! 🎆 branded grocery bags.

My controversial opinion: people should be allowed to exist without being harassed.

A bedbound ME/CFS friend of mine designed these shirts for my favorite anti-capitalist, accessible pride event! The Dyke March is today, I'll be there as part of the wheelchair contingent.

This Pride, don’t forget disabled & high risk queer folks! Ensure your events are accessible— consult with disabled folks if you don’t know how. Mask requirements for gatherings protect the immunocompromised, not to mention yourself: queer folks should know we can’t bank on government to save us.

Ah my father's playbook, except 4 is physically assault me and damage my belongings 🙃

I see the MSG debate has started up again. I've loved Chinese food for as long as I can remember. I am part Asian. So it's not racism from me. MSG powder gives me a really bad headache, and makes me feel dehydrated. BUT, only when they use it heavily. I could always tell when my parents forgot...

If you are a woman, you're what a woman looks like. 🤷

watching a 2012 dprk documentary and they open with talking about how there's a crisis in the straight of hormuz and israel is attacking palestine 💀

The president should not financially benefit from the very government he controls.

I'm exactly the right age to have discovered a lot of great music through the Weird Al versions first

I’m so upset. It happened today. ICE came to my hometown and took several people as they were waiting for the courthouse to open. Not even our mayor has any information about where they are being detained.

So it's ok for taxes to pay for NFL stadiums, but not for disabled people to uh fucking survive. Cool cool cool cool cool.

It's been a brutal two weeks in Chicagoland with ICE pointing guns and tasers, multiple car crashes, violent arrests and a significant uptick in detainments overall. Feds continue to stalk courthouses across multiple counties. Today, agents were also seen at the rideshare lots at O'Hare.

A drone attack killed a young woman and injured 15 others near Khan Younis, reported the Wafa news agency.

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It's that simple.

I’m like if you put a human being capable of experiencing pain and suffering through a great deal of pain and suffering.

A rezoning plan for a data center in Jackson, Mississippi, quietly expanded from 190 acres to 230 acres—even as throngs of residents gathered at public meetings to oppose a data center. A worm farmer whose property is in the site area is among many speaking out. @gracemarion.bsky.social reports:

Hating on Zionism and Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing and Apartheid and Illegal Occupation and Illegal War IS NOT hating on Jews and/or Judaism. I am very tired of the lengths some people are going to in their efforts to conflate these very different things. It needs to stop.

Finally getting traction on the rape and violent abuse by Israel of flotilla members. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/...

Re: "medical fragility exemption" in work requirements: "cancer patients, including those in active treatment, could be forced to work the same number of hours as a healthy person — regardless of whether that’s physically possible, just to keep the health insurance coverage that they rely on..."

Dear Insurance Companies. That’s not how humans work. There is a limit. The body doesn’t just keep working. People deteriorate and die if they can’t rest when they need it. The point of insurance is that people that can work pay to cover that gap for people or themselves when they can’t work.

I just want to repeat this: 4 long years. Majority of the 186 Ukrainians that returned home today has been in captivity in Russia since 2022. 4 long years .

Tanis calling the white guys pink dicks is so funny. Letterkenny is the only thing keeping me sane right now.

It shouldn’t be a struggle for anyone to afford food. That shouldn’t be something that we’re okay with as a human species. Everyone should have a decent home to go back to and enough to eat.

I tried to donate a car to Habitat for Humanity but they've outsourced their donation program to a 3rd-party, that sells to an auction house that then sells to used car dealers. Habitat gets little or nothing which defeats the entire purpose of donating to them. Enshittification of everything.

A program giving cash assistance to pregnant women in Flint, Michigan, was found to lower the rate of premature births, according to a study by The Lancet. The program gave women $1,500 during pregnancy and $500 a month for a baby’s first year, and is expanding to 42 cities.

I'm forced to rely on my abusive family to survive, even though the main cause of my illness is stress, because of this corrupt fucking government. So if they think they're going to scare me into being silent about how shitty and fucked up this country is, they are mistaken.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Who could have possibly *predicted* this? I'll see myself out.

You might can lie to rich people about grocery prices, but it’s not going to work on normal Americans who’ve cut the name brand products, clipped the coupons, and switched stores. We don’t have millions of dollars, we notice when we have hundreds less. It’s not a drop in the bucket

PTSD is funny because sometimes you'll remember that for about 15 years, you felt like you would throw up every time you saw tortoiseshell because when you were 9, you were doing homework quietly when your father picked up your pen box and hit you on the head, breaking your tortoiseshell headband.

BP's "low-carbon chief" just left as the company doubles down on "its core oil and gas business and away from renewables." Remember: When Big Oil companies claim they're part of the climate solution, they're lying. 🤥

“The mission is to close down Delaney Hall, to respect the human rights that all human beings have — no matter what their legal status is,” she said. “We’re seeking a humane response to something that is as close to evil as I’ve ever seen.” www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

I love that the news outlets claim San Franciscans love Lurie because his little buddies are winning, when voter turnout is below 30%. I get being jaded by SF politics, obviously. But what the actual fuck. That is ABYSMAL. The ballots are MAILED. You don't get to complain if you don't vote.

"Privatization means companies need to make a profit. That means we will be paying more for these services out of taxpayers’ pockets. "

We need a new healthcare system where you can go to whatever doctor and pharmacy you want. Cigna is dropping One Medical from their network, which means I have to break up with my primary care provider of about 10 years. Just a ridiculous system.

Reminder: The double-speak and repetitive denials of reality that you keep hearing from the members of the current regime aren't "stupid" or "absurd"... They are practiced strategy...and when the lies are repeated and amplified on social media, including Bluesky... that's not an accident.

The norm for game consoles always used to be "wait a few years for the price to drop" but now its probably gonna be "buy it in the first year to secure your launch price system before the price goes up" which is annoying.

Political positions considered Leftist in America are just common sense in other countries.

The US is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure

Positive thinking can’t cure disability. You can’t “try harder” to be better. You aren’t “failing” because you got sick. People who believe they will never become disabled or that they will “try harder” than us are denying reality. Disability can and does come for almost everyone.
