this bullshit “automatic teller machine” hasn’t told me anything at all . it’s been 5 hours

An apple a day keeps the doctor away unless you try to swallow one whole

fucking terrifying to know that people are literally indoctrinating themselves on this bullshit- and like Yashar points out- the ppl listening to this garbage are your coworkers, your nurses, your doctors, police, your friends. They are being radicalized. Wake up, indeed.

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

I am of the opinion if we are bringing back late 19th century and early 20th century economics they should put drugs back in our sodas

These are the people the mainstream media is constantly telling us to understand and sympathize with.

In 2026 I hope you get freakier and get plenty of money and become the cutest or scariest you wanna be and that your hard earned talents and hobbies reward you endlessly

The winds in Colorado/Wyoming are insane. @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

and tiny tim, who was NOT in the epstein files,

We could definitely use Andy's words today: "There’s a future you who is surrounded by meaning and connection and beauty, and who has people around them that will catch them when they stumble and hug them when they get up." www.scarleteen.com/read/culture...

would like to see more Ds make statements like this.

Still mulling this over… >_>

A story I found about Haiti: In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

our entire government is a hypercapitalist criminal enterprise to enrich the worst pieces of shit on earth. we gotta dismantle this shit piece by piece

I do think more people should appreciate that Sarah has to be selective about when she draws attention to her identity given the obsessive focus on it by some of her colleagues--she is in a uniquely impossible position. But it also makes it more impactful when she does.

Three Democrats (Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis) joined the Republicans to pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's federal ban on gender affirming care through the House of Representatives. It is repugnant that the federal government won't give people health care, but it will TAKE IT AWAY from trans people.

Republicans voting against the felony national trans youth healthcare ban were Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Gabe Evans (CO), Michael Lawler (NY), Mike Kennedy (UT). Dems voting FOR the felony ban were Henry Cueller (TX), Vincente Gonzalez (TX), Don Davis (NC). 3 NVs on both sides.

Lord, I see what you've done for others. It’s real sick shit, frankly. You belong in jail.

The Vanity Fair photographer knew what he was doing. (I doubt I’m the first to notice this but it hasn’t graced my TL)

This is one of those moments where I realize I’m in the -future- future. Like holy smokes this is a sci fi trope

Colorado Republicans can't seem to get on the same page about which fake reason Democrats are to blame for Xcel's attempts to prevent another Marshall Fire. Now it apparently has something to with a rate increase that the PUC hasn't approved yet and wouldn't take effect until late next year.

Nooomg I caught her leaping into the fish tank. Please enjoy this kitten lunacy.

This is a damning assessment of how homeschooling can allow abuse to thrive because there's literally no oversight in many states. Conservative Christians have shaped the law to make that happen. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

While searching for something else I stumbled upon this fascinating op-ed from Dec. 2015--ten years ago. It appeared in the Greenville, SC Index-Journal. It matter-of-factly pointed out that Trump was beloved by white nationalists like Jared Taylor. This was BEFORE the first GOP primary was held.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

At least two students who were on Brown’s campus last night have survived shootings before — in high school. “People always think, well, it’ll never be me. .. And until I was shot in my school, I also thought the same thing.” @camillebaker.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/12/13/u...

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns. The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Hanging out with babies rules. This guy is the size of a Build A Bear and he's never even seen anything before. He just got here!

'cats have nine lives' is not actually true. in reality, cats TAKE nine lives. my cat Mao has taken five already

Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2043...

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

Just FYI this movie is being distributed by Angel Studios, which distrbutes fundamentalist Christian and right-wing content.

Polling: "Do you think the rich have too much political power in the U.S.?" Yes: 80% No: 8% Independent voters are 81%/6% on this; even Trump voters are 68%/18%. Maybe a political party could lead on this issue. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...

Yule ≠ Christmas Yule is one of the oldest winter solstice festivals, with origins among the ancient Norse thousands of years ago. Although today it’s heavily associated with, and even confused with, Christmas, the celebration existed long before Christianity. 🧵⬇️

So @ahmadjohary16.bsky.social has a spam label- his wedding is next week and he’s very upset by this and is hoping people will advocate to Bluesky on his behalf to get it removed ❤️

@moderation.bsky.app you have falsely labeled @ahmadjohary16.bsky.social as spam when he is a human being who is only looking for help. Remove the label!

1. For weeks, EITM has reported that Republicans would push a trans healthcare ban in their ACA negotiations. Now, the plan is released, and it includes heavy restrictions on ACA plans, a medicaid ban, an EHB ban, and more. Democrats must not capitulate.

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
