“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Having tough time waking up, it's about 30 degrees, they say taking a walk in brisk weather helps. I have doubts.

Every single fucking douchebag billionaire today who now has the United States hanging by a thread, was actually created by the United States. The taxpayer specifically. Us. Not one of them would exist without us. And now they consider themselves gods. #FuckThat #FuckThem

Just an obligatory picture of a kitten of vast cuteness to show that the world is still a wonderful place... ...Because of kittens. #KittensOfCuteness_bsky #MenWithCats

I see another “Christian conservative” got caught doing “show research” on his computer again.

Every so often I've been looking in at P 2025 tracker www.project2025.observer/en and for some time it's been stuck at 48%. Is anybody updating it, they don't care anymore, is it hard to get the info - or, P2025 needed doge boys, illegal stuff? Anybody asking those "authors" about their baby?

Victoria Mboko had one of the most exciting tennis seasons in Canadian history — a WTA 1000 title and a surge into the top 20.    Victoria, your story is an inspiration, and the best chapters are yet to be written.

Nailed. It. This is the kind of man you want leading your country.

All these fcking thugs need to be arrested for assault & kidnapping

A new video captures masked ICE agents in unmarked vehicles swarming the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew before hauling her away. There’s no way this was random.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.

This is racist and dangerous. Last I checked, Somalians are Black and Rep. Omar is a colleague. Where are the @housedemocrats.bsky.social? The @blackcaucus.bsky.social ? Do not allow these insults to go unanswered.

As the Epstein Island tapes are dropping and powerful people are sweating. That place was nicknamed “Orgy Island” and is why they tried to bury it. It also retraumatizes women who were just girls when this happened.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami. They are lying to us.

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

After years of following orders with clear rules of engagement/congressional authority, targeting jihadists in rural and urban settings, Admiral Bradley was put in command of a legally murky attack on Sept. 2 targeting a boat in the Caribbean that the Trump administration says was smuggling drugs.

I was just watching Pete Hegseth lie about his war crimes while sitting next to Trump, and noticed Trump fell asleep. I believe they call that the Fog of Snore. 💤

@walthickey.bsky.social and his Numlock news cited Alaskan landslides and connection with logging. Note to researchers: it's a cruddy time of year to visit Vermont but swing by in the spring. Things in common. www.sierraclub.org/Sierra/alask...

So am I.

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.

I really like "The Polar Express." So do my cats, especially when the train goes all over the place on the frozen lake.

credit to NYT for not sanewashing the appalling bigotry we saw today in the WH "Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry."

Even though we didn’t win in TN, the race was far closer than anyone expected. Incredible work, everyone!

Well there it is. My final word on Tn07 Special Election. Well done Aftyn Behn.

No matter what they do, what they're accused of, what they're actually guilty of, they ramp it up 10X, 100X, 1000X. "trump accounts" "second amendment gun rights for ex" "hernandez free" - there is no remorse, no fallout, no pause, no "struggles." It's full speed ahead every f'ing day.

I mean....🤷🏾

Why am I hearing Peaches and Herb singing 'Reunited'?

She added about 20 million views to this after some dipshit WH spokesperson decided the best plan was to personally attack and insult her. And counting.

the president says absolutely crazy stuff all the time on social media and it doesn't make headlines because everyone paying attention knows he's nuts

“.. A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds of the meeting Tuesday showed that during nine separate instances, Trump’s eyes were closed for extended periods or he appeared to struggle to keep them open, amounting cumulatively to nearly six minutes.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
