Fartcoin out performing Trump Coin and Melania Coin. You love to see it.

As insane as it seems now, what this line of thought actually reveals is just how much of the political world fundamentally thought of 2016 as primarily an election about your view of Hillary Clinton, with Donald Trump mainly an instrument of passing judgement on her, not important in himself

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

While Epstein’s victims endure the fallout of their photos and names being exposed in the Department of Justice’s latest tranche of files, investigators redacted the identity of the most famous portrait in the world.

We do not hate the NYT enough

Destroy this fucking newspaper

“.. Our BTC price target is 0.0. That’s not just for shock factor. It’s where the math takes us,” the strategist said, noting that Bitcoin has failed to function as a dollar hedge and instead operates as “a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq.” #Bitcoin seekingalpha.com/news/4547997...

They have made clear that it was never just about illegal immigration: they hate all immigrants.

Hit dogs hollerin’.

I genuinely believe this place is subject to coordinated disinfo ops designed to depress Democratic support. There are, of course, also many prominent posters happy to push that narrative along.

I mean!!!!

What's wrong with a little sex trafficking among friends, amirite?

The only response here is a motion to enjoin the whole operation If the government's position is "I'm sorry your honor but we don't be the capacity to both respect constitutional rights and conduct the operation as it is currently being conducted" the answer is "then you must stop the operation"

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

yes!! yes! ddr5 ram available at normal prices in our lifetime!!

As @jeffsharlet.bsky.social documented in The Family, honoring brutal right wing dictators from around the world has been a National Prayer Breakfast tradition since the 1980s.

as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.

When a whistleblower’s lawyer gives you a deadline and cites the statute, that is not posturing. That is the last stop before Congress. And they just pulled the trigger.

anyway another example of why college application at the higher level should be 'you meet X standard and then we randomly draw from a pool.'

This is Milo. He has the reflexes of a sloth and the composure of a statue. Learning catch is going to take a minute. 12/10 (TT: milocrazy8)

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer. Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

WSJ: SpaceX trying to push the bag onto index investors ASAP. Can’t describe how predatory this is and if index providers carve out an exception for them or other large IPOs it’ll be a huge hit to their credibility IMO.

What the ever loving fuck?

it's extremely funny (in a cosmic sense) how that guy was like "yes marchini & stancil need to fear for their lives, I am completely serious", just in general, but particularly given apparently that's not a bannable offense on bluesky dot app. more permissive mod policy than kiwifarms on here

“Why do democrats never boast about their success” says the person who quote tweets every Democrat who ever takes credit for anything with “the fact that the Dems think this was good enough tells you everything you need to know”

"Democrats need to do more to take credit for their wins" says guy who spent 2022 sending death threats to Will Stancil for saying Biden was helping manufacturing workers.

Court orders restart of all US offshore wind power construction https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/02/court-orders-restart-of-all-us-offshore-wind-construction/

It's getting really infuriating how many people are getting everything beyond their wildest dreams out of the Trump administration and they want us to think that they're disappointed

There is a direct through-line between protectionism and UAW throwing their weight behind the wheel for Trump. You can't eat around the xenophobia like a kid avoiding carrots.

It's true it seems, with no warning or explanation CIA simply discontinued and removed the World Factbook this week. I imagine they'd say we have wikipedia now wo who needs it, but check the footnotes and see how many wiki entries get their data from the CIA factbook. Lots.

But also, and this speaks to the sort of clarity of thinking that’s really needed in this grim political moment, there’s a difference between expressing despair because you’re feeling despair and want solidarity in its expression and viewing despair, in all contexts, as more sophisticated than hope.

NEWS Elon Musk and others LOSE their bid to duck depositions in DOGE litigation. Judge doubts protections for "high-ranking government officials" for multiple reasons. It's unclear they ever had that status, and Musk "left government service." Doc buff.ly/uhpSOTz

DO THESE PEOPLE EARN ANYTHING ON THEIR OWN YES THIS IS A RHETORICAL QUESTION

Gentle reminder that Jimmy Carter once negotiated a ceasefire during the second Sudanese civil war to help eradicate Guinea worm disease 🫡

eventually cliques will form and the good people will be chill and normal and the most annoying guys you know will start speaking for everyone and making decisions and bullying people out and sucking all the air out of the room and you can't remove them from power bc they're "not *in* power"

Somewhat ironically, this is a problem that both some leftist and populist-rightist movements share: their ideology *requires* them to believe that they are the authentic voice of The People and so they are ideologically constrained from recognizing that their ideas are not, in fact, popular.

Working theory: If one had a chance to improve society by injecting just one piece of knowledge into every human — so that they truly UNDERSTOOD it, not just knew it on a surface level — "the difference between a million and a billion" would be pretty high in terms of return on investment

"What democrats are proposing is worthless bc it wont stop Republicans and also Democrats are worthless bc they dont propose anything to stop this" is a fun little two step that wrecker accounts with a lot of followers do on here to continue poisoning the well

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

I think Washington, DC is about to become the largest city in the Western world without a newspaper with local news and sports coverage. To kill a civic institution of this importance, in the Capital of the world's most important democracy, is just staggering, irremediable malevolence from Bezos.

Also one of the big reasons Dems aren't protecting Bill Clinton is that he keeps loudly saying he doesn't want protection because he has nothing to hide. The whole dustup about him testifying is because he, not Republicans, wanted the hearing to be public.

MAGA is a movement of America haters who despise this country and are conspiring to destroy it

Can we bet on her doing it or would that be a step too far for the company?

I love this guy, very calming using historical analogy reading his city council for filth.

this is literally the critique of crypto that was offered when it was launched, so please, fuck off into the sun

PSA 👇

Eww this is so embarrassing for them 😭😂

At least the Nazis went to the trouble of passing the Nuremberg Laws and making the brutality and totalitarianism street legal. The gutlessness of the American run at fascism is that they want to do it simply by pretending the Bill of Rights never existed or meant anything.

I just got off the phone with Elizabeth's dad...she and her mom were freed tonight! Updated story: sahanjournal.com/education/co...
