I think there is a difference between the person who's done the work to correct themselves and repent of the poor beliefs and actions of their youth and the person who actively has a Nazi tattoo. Public office is a privilege not a right.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

I’m saying that House expansion has to be a top 5 priority on the solution list

Today's official crowd count estimate from #NoKings coalition: 7 million people turned out nationwide That's 2 million more than the #NoKings peaceful protests in June

this is a tacit admission that the administration is not confident in the legal arguments it would have to make in order to detain them, which should also cast into question the legality of the operation in the first place

Straw Hat axolotls in Salt Lake City #UT #NoKings

Love seeing bands at the protests. More of this!

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

This reminded me of how, before it was announced, the Segway was supposed to be the greatest invention in human history that would fundamentally change what it meant to be a person.

Why is it still a debate that we need new generational leadership? The old guard is a lot of why we are in this mess.

probably the most critical piece of information in the great Mills-Platner debate www.bangordailynews.com/2025/10/16/p...

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. This isn't the bumbling, directionless Trump first term. This time, they are implementing a plan to let Trump and his people rule forever. But it's not too late to stop them.

i do firmly believe in the end, we will win, but the dread and the loss of watching this nightmare unfold is really something. These assholes are undermining everything we've taken for granted as a democratic and open society (however imperfect) with such vile hubris

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

I don't think I know anyone in #Georgia here, but hoping this will help get this info out there. This can have an impact in sustainable power generation for Georgia and beyond. youtu.be/UgvE_gPi7Kc?...

This is good to hear. The good work done before - a lot already undone - did not go far enough. This can be an opportunity to build something much better.

i was surprised to learn that bc most protein powders are considered dietary supplements, they basically fall into a regulatory grey area there's no federal limit on the amount of lead they can contain and neither manufacturers nor the FDA have to prove these products are safe before they're sold

If this was happening in any other country you'd have journalists and analysts discussing risks of state failure

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

There's always another group to marginalize and be the "other". They'll never stop until they are made to stop.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

“The position of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine is to scrap Daylight Saving Time and permanently stick to Standard Time.” Remind your state and federal lawmakers!

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

RFK Jr just prevented my 9mo from getting her first Covid shot, curse that man for all time.

Republicans have shut down the government to take healthcare away from millions of Americans and give Trump a blank check for his illegal power grab.

This shutdown marks the first time that Democrats are not whining about rule-breaking or norms—they’re calling attention to a GOP that is engineering a massive wealth transfer scam from the poorest to the richest. It won’t be an easy fight, but it’s a BFD that it’s happening at all. trib.al/qxM7cj1

To explain: At the start of his opinion, Judge Young includes an anonymous note received by his chambers, which reads “Trump has pardons and tanks..what do you have?” Responding to the note, Young says we have our “magnificent Constitution” and “here’s how that works out in a specific case —“

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.

This is the current HUD.gov website.

Wounded Knee was a massacre of innocent people, including women and children. It was one of many atrocities committed by the United States against Native Americans. The heroes were those who fought against the US military. They deserve our honors. Not those who used Hotchkiss guns against children

A VPN is not a tool for anonymity, and while it can protect your location from some companies, there are many other ways companies may track you. ssd.eff.org/module/choo...

Just to recap, the actual president found an AI-generated video of a fake news report depicting a fake announcement about an imaginary healthcare system based on a technology that doesn’t exist and posted it on his official social media account

We should literally have a Justice League of Resistance. Like a shadow cabinet of politicians and professionals to be vocal about their "department". They would message about the damage the GOP is doing and the vision for how it should be so much better.

Good thoughts in this thread

Losing does not mean the struggle shouldn’t be waged, and losing doesn’t mean sacrificing the humanity of the marginalized. This isn’t difficult, and yet.

Same... 😮‍💨

Bluesky really needs to make it easier to read threads. @bsky.app

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

Camden had zero homicides this summer. City and county leaders credit the 2013 disbandment of its police department. Violent crime is at a 50-year low. This is amazing. www.inquirer.com/news/camden-...

The United States is simply not politically stable enough, nor sufficiently committed to democratic and international principles, to host the UN.
