It’s always funny to me seeing other countries having their elections on the weekend. They’re missing out on such an easy way to drive down turnout. Amateurs.

WNBA star Brianna Turner has written an article denouncing the new invasive sex testing requirements of the IOC. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

The JD Vance glaze that is happening now in the media is absolutely transparent and disgusting. They are doing everything they can to make him seem presidential. America does not need shadow president Peter Thiel and a regression to feudalism. Don’t buy the bullshit.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

The U.S. is dropping landmines that look like food tins. But we are seeing news about oil prices. There is video. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-iran...

i think a cool thing is that every time some right winger is revealed to have, let’s say, a non-normative sexuality, i get to hear what liberals really think about me but feel they can’t voice :)

Defending Schumer to me in any way is an IMMEDIATE block. I don't want to hear it and I don't want to hear you. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A reminder. Someone in America right now is dying because they can't afford healthcare. #MedicareForAll #PoorPeoplesCampaign

The opposition party should be frothing mad and encouraging their constituents engage in labor actions and mass demonstrations. But nobody is doing that. Grassroots folks have organized some marches (great!), but there needs to be mobilization efforts from the top and not just “show up in Nov! 😡🤭”

America’s fetishization of voting as a panacea has totally castrated us from envisioning other ways to solve problems. This seems to be a big problem when we’ve empowered a bunch of autocrats and sycophants where we KNOW even if there IS a vote nothing will change.

The two party system: Nazis and Vichy France

how much money does the marine corps lose

It’s hard to believe “there’s nowhere to go but up” when we keep finding new lows.

People have the audacity to just get in your inbox and ask point blank if you want to be named in a lawsuit in 5 years.

Next time someone claims I’m ghosting them, my response will be that “I don’t return their calls because I’m too busy on World and Country Affairs”

Now that @contemprainn.bsky.social is aware this image is fake, surely they value authenticity over engagement and will delete this post. Surely.

Converting to Catholicism and then threatening the Pope with military action because you don’t like that he uh, *checks notes* is following Catholic belief is absolutely insane behavior

these idiot adult converts are going to drive me back into the extremely questionable arms of the church

bruh what are we dooooing

race communism ftw 🏁

Ok but Trump DOES lie an awful lot lol

tbf to Trump, we probably have a better chance of winning a war with Europe than Iran because Europe seems to LOVE capitulating to this asshole.

putting the bitch in obituary

Excuse me, I think you mean *future DNC keynote speakers* Tucker Carlson, MTG, and Megyn Kelly

I respect the energy, but this is like someone asking you what you want for your last meal and replying, “idc whatever’s leftover in the fridge works!”

> the white house is at war with persia > and threatening to install an antipope over the American Catholic Church what year is this

I know the US doesn't care about its international standing, but a junior partner in an alliance violating a ceasefire should be dealt with with exceptional diplomatic repercussions. Most people already believe the tail wags the dog, but this is unthinkable for a super power.

wow, it's the A Team of losers

Today is as good a day as any for everyone to learn about Prairieland. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

everyone saying "why don't the leftists do something radical?" needs to engage with the very obvious answer, which is "everything you're thinking of would get a leftist shot immediately"

It’s a shame maga can’t read because holy shit is this the most humiliating peace deal imaginable for the US.

It’s crazy that he’s not even claiming he won.

Denmark is about to reinstate the 17th century sound toll as payback for being bullied over Greenland.

Needing congress to end a war but not start one is the epitome of america

I wonder if all pee smells like asparagus pee to dogs.

Anybody who has been in an abusive relationship knows this feeling all too well.

When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that Serena carried us

I think it was really big of Iran to accept the ceasefire and their courage and humility are as beautiful to me as the median American's lust for blood and lulz is disgusting

Next two are on me.

This is so amazingly beautiful and I just cannot appreciate it right now due to everything going on. (I am NOT shading people who can, I’m lamenting that my own brain won’t let me. We NEED good things especially in dark times. I’m just having trouble rn tuning out the bad shit.)

The fact that this list doesn't include all 214 of them is a big problem

We are a depraved people. The great satan indeed. I’m so ashamed.

It’s numbing to watch our president threaten to annihilate a country of 95m people as part of an illegal war he started, and everything is just going on normally. I include myself in this when I say that “American democratic values” are provably a complete failure.

Look, people, it was either this or the status quo on trans people being allowed to (mostly) fully participate in society. You can see how it was an extremely difficult call.
