Imagine how hard Democratic leaders have had to work to now be perceived as less trustworthy than Donald Trump on the issue of fighting corruption.

MAHA folks fighting over different ways to be stupid.

If only we’d known in 2015 that we could just turn off the escalator.

All right, let's do this. I have no inside info on @karenattiah.bsky.social's case. But I know Post employees are part of @postguild.bsky.social, and their contract allows the union to challenge "disciplinary action on the basis that is was taken without just cause." So what's just cause? 1/

So many people signed onto this out of a misguided belief people were being brainwashed into caring about Palestinians.

THIS SEPTA sweater is so bad...it's good?

Prices are jumping up, and working people are struggling with rising economic inequality, with no relief in sight (despite declarations by Trump and his MAGA minions on the campaign trail that help was *definitely* on the way.) I'm sure MAGA will say FAKE NUMBERS, no doubt.

This is like his 1,500% price reduction in drugs, it's not clear if Trump has a rudimentary understanding of numbers.

🔥🔥🔥

Most people can see this is terrible. Others see a job only 10% done. "The retired general told a community meeting in southern Israel earlier this week that more than 10% of Gaza’s 2.2 million population had been killed or injured – “more than 200,000 people” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Great conference, thanks @jacobinmag.bsky.social!

"What this tells me is that this president believes he can kill anyone, anywhere, under any circumstances—and not have to justify it. And that he will be immune from accountability.”

Kirk and MAGA believe in free speech only for themselves, it's that simple. Double standards and hypocrisy are core operating principles for the MAGA movement, and they can't gaslight us into being confused by that.

It should be possible to understand 2 things at once: Kirk was a toxic political entertainer who made a fortune organizing the MAGA youth movement, and folks shouldn't be murdered.

Sigh now I have to learn more about Groypers, and Wikipedia says there is a "Groyper War" and "Groyper War 2," this is the endless nonsense that MAGA foists upon society. www.newsweek.com/groyper-char...

"...the media reaction glossed over the role that President Donald Trump and his Make America Great Again movement, and Kirk himself, as a prominent supporter of that movement, have helped to legitimize the kind of political violence that Kirk apparently fell victim to." fair.org/home/kirk-co...

Took a real look at the Horace Greeley statue in NYC for the first time, and it was donated by several New York Typographical Union locals, evidently Greeley was a local president.

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

"The conviction is a landmark ruling for Latin America’s largest nation.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Powell's is the latest organization to get caught out using AI slop - by readers, @ilwulocal5.bsky.social, fellow indies, and community members.

What's going on with Starbucks lately?? Well, for starters, the company is refusing to finalize fair contracts with over 12,000 union workers... even though it would only take less than ONE AVERAGE DAY'S SALES. That's it!

"Film Workers pledge to end complicity." Recognizing the power of cinema to shape perceptions, more than 2,000 filmmakers, actors, and film workers have signed an open letter calling for an end to genocide in Gaza and pledging to boycott the Israeli film industry.

The senator told @nickturse.bsky.social that the attack defied rules of engagement and came from a drone. A legal expert calls it murder.

Ok remind me, why couldn't Biden have released the Epstein files?

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.

The mainstream press as usual is either incompetent at dealing with MAGA or very competent at not dealing with them. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
