A government that can officially declare that Jesus is your savior can just as easily declare the opposite.

This is a lie. Tillis supported RFK Jr because Tillis didn’t have the courage to buck Trump. He capitulated to Republican party pressure because he’s a coward and a follower and he selfishly put himself above the country. It’s that simple.

If you approach current events through a Eurocentric lens, you're not going to be ready for what's coming next, and you won't understand how to survive it. One of many reasons that white antifascists need to study Black thinkers. The Plantation was the original Camp. The original gulag.

The way the word elites has become devoid of all meaning is interesting. It’s a placeholder for “someone I don’t like” and it fascinates me that the people who use it most are wealthy, went to “elite” schools and hold positions of power. Look in the damn mirror. You’re talking about yourself.

Why is a new antibiotic for gonorrhea needed? Because gonorrhea is becoming untreatable, with so many resistant infections.

President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that he has issued a “full pardon” to Tina Peters — the Colorado election denier serving a nine-year state sentence — even though presidents have no constitutional authority to pardon state-level crimes. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Sean Hecker, Kilmar's attorney, once hailed how much courage it took Kilmar to challenge what DOJ/DHS is doing to him. That stuck with me. Kilmar Abrego is just some guy, vulnerable in a way most of us are not. But he has taken on Trump and ... thus far at least, prevailed.

If you've ever wondered why tech bros keep trying to cram things down your throat that nobody wants, nobody asked for, could never turn a profit and never actually work, frankly -- this is why. A lot of people are making a lot of money from "failure". If they weren't, they wouldn't keep doing it.

3 separate election nights in Georgia, all over the past 5 weeks

immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes

The GOP healthcare plan is an endless game of Who's on First: We have a healthcare plan and it's great and you'll love it. What is it? It's great. But what is it? It's a great plan. What's the plan? Great. What's in the plan? Things you'll love that are great. What things? Great things.

Question for those in the US & Puerto Rico: when is an autopsy performed on someone who dies at home? Are the rules different state by state? My mother, 79yo, died apparently in her sleep at her home in PR. No autopsy. My sister, 66yo, died in her home in CA. Also no autopsy. I don't understand.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

This is inexcusable @jimfarley.bsky.social. You should be ashamed for your complicity here. Stand up, repudiate this hate, defend *your own workers* who are being attacked by this kind of bigotry. This is bare minimum.

I'm just saying that if I'm supposed to love the United States, the United States should try earning that love. And instead of loving this country, try loving the people who are in it.

Also: This widely obscures the role that the US often has in the countries we later declare “failed.” Often, their mess is our mess.

320 items. All ready to preview, all go in stock and live at noon EST on Friday. Some things as low as $10, some things definitely in the higher price range for fine jewelry. Good job, team! www.peculiarityshop.com/blackfriday2...

Didn't hear it after that ICE agent shot a woman five times out of spite, either

Ancient chisme!!!

In case you need some cuteness right now, this is my view of my sweet senior coonhound. She had to go to the vet for some routine labs early this morning, and while she got plenty of pets and praise from everyone, it was an exhausting day.

Love to watch the news to find out what's going on in the world ... or maybe isn't going on in the world, you decide for yourself.

Been listing for two hours. 11 LGBTQIA+ artists (and friends), all price ranges. Thanks for shopping/pushing small business this year! www.peculiarityshop.com

my problem with gyoza is that they normally come in an order of about 6, but what I really need is 100 of them

Many do! Back when I had my podcast on police misconduct, show prep included googling "officer arrested" and seeing what turned up But convictions are rare; durable consequences, even more so And there's -0- enforcement against federal law enforcement under Trump bsky.app/profile/dkcu...

This is my personal favorite and IMO it's fantastic on any fatty roast. I try to always keep some in the freezer.

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait. It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on. Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Many, many, many people.

Watching Treme, wondering if someone's writing up a screenplay that captures the ridiculous, violent, and corrupt times we're living in the US in 2025.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

My mum has been making needle felted mice for a few years and enjoys challenging herself with new themes and ideas. She's just set up her first exhibition at the stately home she volunteers at, with a family of period mice. Incredible.

*Enslaves/loots entire continents, starves entire nations, commits the Holocaust* "Those people over there sure are violent"

Happy 250th America. Time to face our shit, now that an Epstein tornado has basically smothered and covered everything in an unavoidable layer of it.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

And yes, shame on Clinton and Obama for elevating this terrible person.

Unfortunately, many of us know why because we grew up being targeted by men just like them

Oof *OCTOBER CPI AND JOBS DATA LIKELY WON'T BE RELEASED: WHITE HOUSE

Absolute filth! I hope this finally ends his career as an invited guest on news media. Especially @pbsnews.org

we're an unwell country and culture and you can tell because so many people can't help but watch the NFL

Still upset about no power of the purse language. You truly do hate to see it. The Trump admin undertook the most expansive set of illegal budgetary actions of any president in history, and broadcast as loudly as possible they’d keep doing it, and nothing. Budgetary lawlessness.
