The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize

Active duty Coast Guard members and families are writing on social media that they got a full paycheck this week - even with the DHS shutdown. That hints at some kind of Trump Administration funding work-around.

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday Some perfectly adequate schmaltz, a Lifetime-style movie elevated by the great John Cho, and Rachel McAdams doing typically superlative work in a sweet adaptation of the 70s kids' classic

If and when we get hit with a bunch of "anti-woke" pop culture, try to remember that it's not a "vibe shift." That stuff isn't popular. No-one watches it, buys it, etc. It's a few guys with too much money to ever go broke, willing to burn ungodly sums on forwarding their agenda.

Analysis | If the right-wing Ellisons are allowed to purchase CNN, they could order Jake Tapper to obsessively focus on Biden's age, or demand that Van Jones to say Trump truly became president today, or allow Scott Jennings to brazenly tell baldfaced lies on a nightly basis.

Be of good cheer, sir!

functionally the best case scenario for Platner is that he's just a complete idiot who has no business making decisions in the Senate

I mean the US hockey team definitely did not meet the moment and people shouldn't give them a pass but I do think as a group they'd also have trouble spelling restaurant

So I just got a statement from California AG Bonta's office: "Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny — the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review"

[guy who sang baby beluga] the festering belly is splitting, each half digested soul fumbling for a knife

Seriously, I don't get it either. why is this guy special? bsky.app/profile/grza...

It is possible to be appalled at Israel without being antisemitic and a good test for that is “will I support the guy with the Nazi tattoo?”

Folks already addressed how Kat doesn't understand Congressional quorum rules & the goofiness of the general strike idea, but in general a lot of folks on the left seem to think it's politicians' job to order people to protest & it's such a fundamentally servile mentality that needs some push back.

Judge Quraishi says that if ICE keeps arresting people and detaining them without bond under the legal theory that has been rejected by hundreds of judges, and any of those cases come across his bench, he'll immediately order DHS and DOJ personnel hauled into court to explain themselves.

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

For the many Platner fans here, Peters is a white supremacist, Holocast denying / antisemetic, virulently anti-trans anti-gay right-wing influencer. There's no lack of people making similar points that Platner could be reading and promoting who are not nazis.

We are going to need Nuremberg Trials when this is all over.

ICE is struggling to keep pace with vetting new hires during its historic recruitment push, so it's hiring officers before completing standard checks. The agency fired five people after belatedly finding that they had outstanding warrants for their arrest. www.reuters.com/world/ice-st...

"We demand that ICE and CBP be dismantled," retired United Methodist Bishop Minerva Garza Carcaño said at the rally.

A LOT of women (🙋🏾‍♀️) have the experience of attending a public event, going to the restroom, seeing the line at the ladies' room, and waltzing right over to the no-line, waaay cleaner men's room and pee like ain't nobody standing at them urinals. Stop letting them people get you mad over dumb stuff.

The pileup of blatantly unlawful conduct by the government in this case is astonishing, as is the fact that the Supreme Court allowed the govt to go forward with this program in a shadow docket ruling

📣 NOTE: To clarify, the 6-month moratorium on Medicare medical equipment enrollment is for new *suppliers,* not enrollees. Still horrible & likely illegal, but not QUITE as horrible as it would be otherwise. Also, it looks like the $260M is around 14% of Minnesota's total Medicaid budget.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money. In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it. Taxation without representation.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

shocked that the dude who had a nazi tattoo for 20 years and only covered it up (with another white nationalist tattoo) because it was disclosed when he was running for office has a lot in common with a white nationalist. absolutely stunned, i tell you

The media should cover this as murder because it is.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

JUST IN: Judge Murphy has ruled that the Trump administration's policy of sending deported immigrants to third countries without notice or a chance to challenge is illegal and unconstitutional. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Gomes da Silva told WBUR last week he was hoping to send a message to Trump, ‘to open his eyes and give him an insight on how it feels to be an immigrant — show him a way to  be more sympathetic towards us.’”

But I mean seriously look at how like the Times is covering Trump's SOTU versus how it covered AOC in Munich and tell me how silly it is to believe that they just like Trump and want him to succeed.

"SLOPPINESS": The Trump administration claimed that a man detained by ICE had a criminal convictions for marijuana possession in 2009. The judge pointed out that the man was 4 years old at the time. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Richmond County’s own Nicole Malliotakis giving off the same energy as one of the white people protesting southern school integration in photos from the 50s

caring about literal white supremacist hate is woke and cringe so, you know

It was on this day in 1943 that George Harrison was harvested, fully formed, from the sea (pictured here) and so we celebrate his “birthday”.

Chefs from José Andrés' World Central Kitchen are helping cook meals for those in shelters and warming centers on Cape Cod, as tens of thousands remain without electricity in the aftermath of Monday's historic blizzard.

This is the way to do it

Someone start a Go Fund Me to have Dennis “MAGA Man” Quaid digitally removed from the Bonnie Raitt video.

Damn did @bardcollege.bsky.social not get enough money from the pedophile sex trafficker?

……AAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA! Anyway…

U.S. men's hockey with Curt-Schilling-in-Boston levels of good will squandering. A 25-mile lead in the good will marathon and they tripped on their dicks right at the finish line.

Mostly the Minnesota guys. Imagine being their teammates and being like "Whatever dude, I'm going."

For what it is worth, I have also submitted a letter to the editor to the New York Times. I doubt it gets published, they rarely ever publish trans journalists on this topic.

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

Britain y’all ain’t beating the racism allegations ever so keep your mouths closed scapegoating race problems on America so we don’t have to be exposed to your tea-stained teeth.

It's a shame he has to pwotect the NYPD's feefees but "don't bother the tender little police officers, I on the other hand can take it" is a neat little trick

Elon stans never beating any of the numerous allegations
