1/6 Saw this post by @mightymite.bsky.social and immediately thought about it from a critical perspective. Hungry Hungry Hippos naturalizes frenzied, mindless accumulation as the logic of competition, staging the neoliberal myth that markets are fair while rewarding only the most compulsive actor…

1. Tuberville is perhaps the dumbest person ever elected to the Senate. 2. He couldn’t properly define socialism (or communism or Marxism) at gunpoint.

I’d say there are very few people who have done more damage to the United States than Ronald Reagan

1/2 I wholeheartedly agree that our nation’s law enforcement community needs to do better in a number of critical ways. That said, making it “scarier” for them to curb malfeasance will work about as well as “get tough” sentencing does for crime…

You know you are in prime villain territory when Joseph Goebbels looks slightly more charismatic than you. As Miller is a likely psychopath, he is probably gratified by the idea.

Big Oil corporations are terrified of juries seeing the evidence of their deception. They're "terrified of having to face their own record," explains @govjayinslee.bsky.social. Feelings aside, communities deserve to be heard — and juries deserve to hear them.

Yes, yes, we can totally trust Entergy and Google not to foist the costs of data centers on to Arkansas ratepayers -- even though state legislators have given them the nearly unfettered ability to do just that! #NotThatGullible #arpx #arnews #arleg www.arkansasonline.com/news/2026/ma...

I study this kind of thing for a living. “Domestic terrorism” is not the correct term. “State terrorism” is the proper term because the ICE actions are as agents of the government (state). Domestic terrorism implies private or non-state actors. But in spirit, yeah, unconscionable and illegal.

Same. They made us this way. They chose supplication of a monster and his billionaire buddies over everyone else. Pray for me, but at this point, I’m ok with 1%er-directed political and economic violence. Those are the only meaningful consequences. After all, the Sacklers are still billionaires.

I’m fine with this if they are also exempted from further breathing. Garbage humans.

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

1/2 Not to lead with the credentials but I am a criminologist. What the data say: Access to firearms increases the likelihood of their use in violent crime. Gun control works if it’s universal (i.e. Brady). Red states w lax gun laws feed gun crime in blue states…

For the umpteenth time, we need a federal law mandating that all data centers be carbon and water neutral - not through credits - actual, on the ground neutral. Ask candidates about this in public. If they refuse to endorse it just know they’re ready to let you die.

In other words, the plaintiffs have a sincerely held belief in their right to indoctrinate toddlers. Tracks. This is the core problem of conservative Christianity: the desire for social control outstrips any appeal to Christ-like behavior.

If you're opposed to this explain why.

We need to get serious about contempt of Congress. If you are such a sycophantic Idiocrat, maybe you should go to jail for refusing to meaningfully respond.

Solar panels collect free energy from the sun while shading an increasingly hot planet. Climate change to the good starts with us.

This reads like a list of different cancers. They should be treated accordingly.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Sounds like time to nationalize the fossil fuel industry - for the good of the country.

As a vegetarian and a career police officer who directly saved lives and put myself in harm’s way to do it, I learned to be tolerant of different perspectives - even those that are ignorant.

Here’s my Mother’s Day memory. When I was a kid, two missionaries (white shirts/bicycles) came to my parents’ house. They asked to speak to the “man of the house.” My mom gave me a little shove out of the way and barked at them, “I AM THE MAN OF THE HOUSE.” They left quietly. Never been more proud.

I’m not saying the person on the right deserves the same fate as the person on the left, but maybe you are?

You want this to be true, but it just isn’t. I’m around a lot of rednecks who believe that anything not reliant on fossil fuel makes you some sort of a “pu**y.” Direct quote. They really are that stupid. Give them zero credit.

Remember how when Blu-ray came out, every movie you bought included a DVD and a digital copy? I need book publishers to start doing that. When I buy a new book, I want to get a hardcover for my shelf plus the Kindle edition. #booksky

Carve this into the pediment of the Capitol. Fix this first or democracy is dead.

How small must you be inside to build monuments to yourself?

This is the core lesson of modern economics: No great fortunes are amassed without exploitation. Can you become wealthy without exploitation? Probably, but billionaires do not exist except as the product of forced suffering.

Yes, please deprive people with serious mental health issues of their medication. I can’t imagine anything bad happening from that. This anti-science Idiocracy must end.

Bet he won’t tackle there, their, they’re, and to, too, two is probably right out.

Hey friends! Did you hear? Solar and wind with batteries are now cheaper than fossil fuels in some places! Firm solar costs are as low as $54/MWh. Looks like the sun and wind are winning! 🌞💨 Check it out: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/05/06/firm-solar-and-storage-costs-fall-to-54-mwh-says-irena/

America's gun psychopathy continues: *167* mass shootings so far in 2026. 💔😡💔 #GunsDontMakeUsSafer The latest, with 1 person killed and 4 wounded, in Pflugerville, Texas: cbsaustin.com/news/local/o...

More neoliberal privatization hogwash. When you surrender the power of the state to private interests, you have failed to govern. #cronyism

Jeff Bezos ‘selling $500m superyacht because it attracts too much attention’. If he had Prime he could have just returned it within 30 days.

You can bet women’s sports will be first to the block. Maybe the sports idolators in #Arkansas should focus on the college that is incidentally attached to their flagging football program. D1 athletics always costs the university more than they bring in to the general fund.

It’s the first thing I do everyday.

The fire fatality rate for occupants of the hideous Cybertruck is 13 times higher than was that of the infamous Ford Pinto. You might want to share this data with any owners of these rolling death traps you might encounter in your daily roaming about.

Which is the backwards country now, United States?

I can’t say enough good things about this. Fossil fuel dependency is a yoke to a nineteenth century energy paradigm and meat eating is based in a refusal to acknowledge the cruelty and resource wastes necessary to do it. This is what actual progressivism looks like.

I consider car haggling to be a blood sport. I use all the tactics I learned as a cop to deprive the dealership staff of their comfort and routine. I don’t care if they think I’m horrible. They don’t make the payments. If we’re not thousands under MSRP OTD, I’m not buying. Neither should you.

“Sunlight has to travel 93 million miles to reach the Earth, but none of those miles go through the Strait of Hormuz,” says Bill McKibben.

I firmly believe the refusal to release the Epstein files is more about protecting the oligarchs whose misdeeds are documented therein. Trump is their handmaiden. He fears nothing so much as revocation of their favor. For their part, they know if you understood their villainy, you’d stop buying.

The GOP wants you believe that the increase in billionaires is proof of the obtainable American dream. What it really means is that those who were millionaires can now expand. Almost no one transcends class barriers in an enduring or meaningful way.

For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%. In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo.
