Just make plans to move the Summer Olympics out of the US now, because I don't think we're going to be okay by 2028.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

I wonder why the thing the whole Bluesky has been talking about for the past several hours is not appearing in trending topics.

I had some pepitas on some soup which means I am reminded of the conversations had with @floregonian.com

We don't need to investigate or hold hearings or create reform. Shut down ICE. RIGHT NOW. Shut down DHS. RIGHT NOW. These things are younger than the TV show NCIS. They don't need to exist. They have never shown any positive benefit to this country. End it all.

If you elect someone whose track record is a wake of broken businesses, exploiting business law to his benefit, don’t be surprised when he uses his office the way he has always done business. No Pikachu faces should be expected.

Epstein has proved 1) No one cares if thousands of children and women complain. 2) Thousands of the most powerful men are complicit in making sure the status quo remains.

Eight years ago this stuff was the domain of creeps and losers, too toxic for any company to support. Now the world's richest man is being rewarded for it. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

If the world has learned anything, it’s that anyone who gets the FIFA peace prize should be arrested immediately.

It is stuff like this that makes me want to win the lottery so I can curate the weirdest collection.

If you have the space, means and collection: a northern Texas warehouse full of proto-Redbox VHS vending machines from the mid-1980s is being evicted. The machines are free and whatever isn't taken will imminently be scrapped. www.facebook.com/commerce/lis...

The Alaska Airlines pilot who was praised as a hero for safely landing a plane after a door plug panel flew off shortly after takeoff in 2004 is suing Boeing because he believes the plane maker wrongly tried to blame him and the rest of the crew in past legal filings.

Strong endorsement for supporting local, independent news.

One of the biggest reasons that tech fascism is happening is because of the rise of venture capital in Saudi Arabia and its alliance with US tech fascists. And 2025 was a big year for it.

I still remember how I was warning ppl about something like J6 happening & folks were all "nah, the internet is just getting you worked up over nothing for fear bait" & then it happened & I was like 🤷🤷🤷 & all of those ppl were like 😲😲😲 & then still don't believe me when I warn about shit now.

Hey #MutantFam! Happy New Year! Who is going to the Bubbahotep event on Saturday in Philadelphia????

My Dyson vacuum stopped working completely, so I disassembled every component, took apart every internal mechanism, isolated and fixed the actual motor, and reassembled the entire thing and now it works fine. This is basically a mating call for 38 year olds.

If you need to censor teaching Plato, to college students, because of 'political' or 'gender' ideology, then you're just admitting you object to freedom of thought.

DHS says REAL ID, which DHS certifies, is too unreliable to confirm U.S. citizenship reason.com/2025/12/31/d...

This. NSFW is OPT-IN. You don’t get it by chance.

JUST IN: DOJ says it has finished reviewing *less than 1%* of the Epstein Files for potential release. Only 12,285 documents have been released while more than 2 million remain under review. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

As it turns out the second amendment doesn't provide us with any usable tools for dealing with tyranny, but universal basic income and universal healthcare sure as shit would. The secret is to remove fear from the populace, not instill it.

Since I first began pubic speaking on freedom of expression issues in the 1990s, I never use the word "censorship" because the label itself has no significance and everyone has their own meaning for the word. The key is whether what you are doing promotes or hinders the freedom of speech.

Schumer is why I padded a bucket list trip with extra days because I know they’re going to shut down the government at the end of the month and I don’t want to be stuck a thousand miles from home without a contingency 🤨

Honestly, this is what I have been suggesting to friends and family befuddled by social media lately. For me, I stopped TikTok a couple years ago, never got into YT. I come to Bsky because I like the storytelling through text better. Bots are easy to spot. I turn off gifs and video.

this store is 18+ and they’re strict as hell about it. none of this has ever been about “protecting children,” it’s about trying to force trans people to disappear

Actual exchange from court today: Me: I can't do January 20 for the hearing, your honor, because I'm having surgery, but I can do [dates in February] Judge: Ordinarily I'd accommodate medical issues, but not for people like you. Attend from the hospital if you have to.

you can fascinate an autistic person by playing new wave

Me, procrastinating about eating dinner. Me, remembering I have fresh sourdough for making toast. Toast it is.

As I was saying.

they’re using autism as a pretext to use against somali immigrant families & trans people in an iteration of a eugenicist moral panic

Walz became a symbol for a lot of people on both ends of the political spectrum. But he’s a real person who in two years ran a speed round of a presidential campaign, lost that campaign, had 2 friends assassinated and another 2 injured in an failed assassination attempt

I realize many current horrors are so much worse than this but … as a first-gen Sesame Street kid, this one really hurts

Cool but the big question for MN dems is if there is a real succession plan or is this just another thoughts and prayers moment?

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

RIGHT!! Hey AL GORE, what’s Tipper up to these days?

Ok "genital inspections" are way more of a threat to our children than trans athletes ever will be. Quite frankly...it's not even close!

I try not to be surprised anymore, and I shouldn't really give a shit as a non-US citizen, but it is kinda weird how _literal_ violations of the first amendment are glossed over nowadays, given how much screaming there has been about pretend violations (by private businesses) previously.

friend: well I am at the gym, I gotta go me: Henry Rollins believes in you

Back in the studio and ready to ship, in case you need a little pick me up for the new year: www.mulebooks.com/store/gilly-...

Last year I wrote about how strange it is that Apple rates Grok as appropriate for kids 12+ in the App Store. I checked this morning in the wake of Grok's CSAM/nudification scandals and can report that ... Apple now rates Grok as appropriate for kids 13+.

hey my bills are past due and late and stuff and i Really need help please

the ability to mute specific words but only when said by specific accounts would go hard tbh
