How dare you convince these vulnerable people to mutilate their bodies with hormonal blockers and dangerous surgery when there's no guarantee it will help?! It's an affront to God's plan! ....Huh? Gender transition? No, I was talking about breast cancer treatment.

Well... They were for some people. Those people now want to Make It Great (for them only) Again.

There is so much absolute nonsense in these screenshots, but I'm at a complete loss on them claiming that half of all mass shootings were caused by trans people. This is schizophrenia-level delusion being presented as a policy recommendation. I don't know how to express how dangerous this is.

This does explain why the right is viciously attacking and canceling people that post actual Charlie Kirk quotations. They know that the vast majority of people will be disgusted and horrified, and doubly so after seeing major media lionizing him.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

I'm sure the intellectual dark web will be all over this despicable example of cancel culture. Any minute now.

roses eat grasshoppers, i cracked my braincase,

It's very revealing and what it reveals is truly disgusting

Fox hosts are now casually endorsing "Lebensunwertes Leben" as a policy concept. This is literal, definitional Nazi shit. It's not an analogy. It's not a gotcha. It's the exact fucking policy. There aren't words strong enough to express the contempt I feel for these three right now.

The Wall Street Journal decided that the best way to honor Charlie Kirk's legacy was to report on his assassination exactly the way he would have.

More than enough time has passed: Charlie Kirk was a massive piece of shit.

Jesus fucking Christ. This is beyond parody. There is *nothing* right or good about the way Charlie Kirk practiced politics. His work was a direct contribution to the far right's project of stochastic terrorism. The functional difference between him and the gunman was scale.

Newsom is a true innovator among Democrats. Unfortunately the thing he's innovating is new ways to prompt decent people to say "wow, this guy sucks."

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

ok was it a random timeline post for everyone or were they winking at everyone saying "why is this @jcsalterego.bsky.social guy in my feed"

It's really nice to have candidates that actually understand how to be funny and likeable on the internet now.

Yeah, he HAD to fuck all them kids or his cover woulda been blown! Checkmate libs!

Incredible cross pollination of memes here.

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

happy labor day

It doesn't say "defacing sign prohibited"...

The Rev took attendance…

This confirms their fears as it contains both a black person and a public good

I have a genius idea. What if we took the amazing insurance that everyone on it loves because it doesn't have an incentive to ruin their lives in pursuit of profit... And put that incentive back in?! It's brilliant!

He wields a machine that kills fascists and he does not miss

some of you need to make like travis kelce and engage with a tailor swiftly

jb "actually takes on trump" pritzker versus gavin "hired some interns to run his acidic online persona so he has more time to interview fascists on his podcast" newsom

i will never vote for gavin newsom under any circumstances

Bring a tomato, Denethor's there

Fox News will soon rebrand to Ms. Information

We may be on track for a new world record ratio... And all it took was dismissing children starving to death because they had preexisting conditions (one of which is caused by starvation)

I've got a very special bird for the AI slop peddlers

It's a source of great personal joy to me that the richest man on earth - who happens to be an evil, fascist prick - is by all appearances deeply unloved, unsatisfied, and unhappy.

Hey @bsky.app , who do you think you are? Twitter? Trans people and sex workers made this platform when you were just getting started, when it was invite only, and because a trans woman wishes ill on a holocaust denier and a transphobe JK Rowling, who I also wish ill will on.

who the fuck is setting their middle click to open an AI prompt builder, and why are they allowed to use a mouse

At this point it kind of seems like @katmabu.bsky.social is just running a mutual aid program, which has a neat side effect of probably also getting her into Congress

God, he is so fucking good at this. If the Constitution let him, I think he'd eventually be the first Muslim president.

The immediate next question should be: "If Adolf Hitler was American, and had a statue at Arlington, would you be upset about people tearing down that statue?"

line go up

why has this movie not been made yet

Most people only get a few moments where they can make a heroic choice. One that really matters - one that saves lives, or averts disaster. Some people don't get that chance at all. This was their chance. They fucking blew it. And a bunch of vulnerable, desperate people are going to pay for it.

Jesus Christ... The July number is terrible on its own but revising the May and June numbers to toughly an *eighth* of the original projection shows how fucked we really are. Shockingly, basic competency in government actually matters.

Ok I know this is beside the point but does Elsa of Arendelle work at this particular 7-eleven

There is no threat for tsunami impacts in North Dakota.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity. There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

Tapper is a fucking hack but credit where it's due for calling this out in real time.
