"Kill Your TV" has never been a better phrase than it is now. Just boycott these MF.

Still true. The state doesn't belong in the execution business. No death penalty.

I know most people would say Excitable Boy if I asked their favorite Warren Zevon album. I was always a big fan of Sentimental Hygiene, the song & the album. With REM as a backing band & special guests Neil Young & Bob Dylan(📏on The Factory) Music That Doesn't Suck www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dWm...

Yeah, there's nothing at all suspicious about an "incredibly cooperative" person who is supposedly the lover of the Kirk suspect, thus outing themselves as trans publicity whilst backstabbing that lover. Yep, nothing to see here. 🙄🙄🙄

And this will just serve as an excuse for the Trump administration to do God knows what. 'Big Balls' just got beaten up and it was an excuse to invade Washington DC. Gun violence is always wrong, and no one wants a civil war. Only people who haven't ever seen real violence & war fantasize about it.

Glorifying violence or harm violates Bluesky’s Community Guidelines. We review reports and take action on content that celebrates harm against anyone. Violence has no place in healthy public discourse, and we’re committed to fostering healthy, open conversations

/3 We can also call out who has encouraged and normalized political violence and made it government policy. We can note the irony of it in many cases. But celebrating it — yelling “hooray” — is like celebrating going to war. People will die and it won’t be fun.

So many people here not realizing they've become the thing they claim to hate

We should all feel a deep sense of grief and outrage at the terrible violence that took place in Utah today. Charlie Kirk’s murder is sick and reprehensible, and our thoughts are with his family, children, and loved ones.

People from across the political spectrum need to join together to condemn political violence, no matter who the target it is. It’s never acceptable.

The news from Utah is horrifying. Monstrous.

Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy.

This isn't some karmic balancing act. Some lunatic with a gun shot and killed someone he disagreed with in public. I feel sick that people think this is ok because they believe the person deserved it. Bluesky is turning into the cesspool that was Twitter.

today is not a good day to be all up in my mentions telling me why you think that thing that just happened is a good thing. just pollute someone else's feed, ok? leave mine alone

People celebrating gun violence are getting instablocked. GFY.

A few phone calls and I'm getting the updated COVID booster today. Don't let RFK Jr's BS keep you from getting it. Insurance still covered it. Doctor didn't hesitate to write Rx.

Here's what happens when you defund schools, under pay teachers and vilify them, remove actual history, ban books dictionaries and encyclopedias, discredit science and math, and force a single religious indoctrination into public schools instead. Dumbing down in action. apnews.com/article/naep...

Justice Kavanaugh, a man of extreme privilege, shows just how damned ignorant he is when he says that if innocent people are subjected to excessive force they may be able to sue. He gave Trump the green light to violate the Fourth Amendment. 🎁 Gift article www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u...

So now our military is being used not just for law enforcement here at home but to handle law enforcement in other countries. Totally illegal and totally uncool.

Brutally grim report. Remember that the US President rolled the red carpet out for the thug who is protecting Assad. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
