I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

Small thread: Some days, I struggle. I have very dark thoughts. All the bad in the world seems overwhelming. When I realize I am in that place, one of the things that helps me climb back out is music. If you have never heard of the group "Playing for Change" and what they do, please check out>>

Today’s action by the federal government to force Air Canada flight attendants back to work without pay is wrong. Like all workers, they deserve to be compensated for every hour on the job and to negotiate a fair contract at the bargaining table. That’s basic fairness.

Such competence.

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response. She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

Independent media deserves far more credit. We need to acknowledge this.

Lots of confusion around Epstein. Hope this helps!

This is cool

I'm so confused. Do we measure his time in office by Scaramuccis, or a head of lettuce?

BREAKING! Disgraced MP Pierre Poilievre announces that, after some intense soul searching, he is still unable to find his.

Poilievre is such a flaming piece of bovine excrement.

Can the US just designate a week where federal politicians release all the dirt they have on each other, so we can get it over with? Kind of a purge idea.

Americans owe $120k USD per individual in debt due to Fed gov spending. Those are USD. In Canada we sit at $40k per cdn. The US is facing a massive debt crisis. www.thestreet.com/economy/lege...

Not enough true #Christians like her around.

@amsickofpollies.bsky.social - thanks for spotting this. I reformatted it and also have a four-up PDF if anyone wants it.

Just wow! Can we appreciate the fact that a team from Mexico is in Texas helping with the search and rescue. 👏🏽

Ahhhh when you can't defend your stance or your previous comments, sure, resort to comments like this. That will really prove to people that you are a mature, intelligent adult. Really. It will. 🙄🙄🙄

Families deserve answers. Administration at all levels need to be held accountable.

Sandy Hook parent says tragedies are inherently political: “You may not believe in climate change, but insurance companies absolutely do.”

This is very cool!

The Perfect Storm 1. The National Weather Service vacancy rate at its Texas offices doubled since Trump took office. 2. Kerr County (which voted 77% for Trump) did not have a warning system because local residents didn’t want to spend the money. 3. Climate change is making this happen more often.

#Texas politicians being bought by 2 Christian Nationalist oil billionaires: Tim Dunn & Farris Wilks. Finally, at the last stage, their House, they have some push back. James Talarico explains it. Very well done. #NoBillionaires #SupportDemocracy #Corruption 1min www.youtube.com/shorts/5sV4r...

With all the shit the Ukrainians are going through, President Zelensky still finds time to pray for the life loss in the Texas flooding. #Ukraine🇺🇦

Once again, proving abortion is healthcare, and healthcare should not be regulated by legislators without a uterus or based on religious ideology rather than evidence based medicine.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

The USA has bombed all of the following countries.

So Miller attacked LA because Musk stole his wife and Trump is bombing Iran because no one came to his birthday party. Men are too emotional to lead.

No one supports the Taliban limiting girls' education, or Iran forcing dress codes for women going out in public. But if you're from a country who *just now* forced a woman who's legally brain-dead to have a baby, and then forced her family to pay for it, you need to shut up about women's rights.

The wink 😜 They are thrilled he left. He is an embarrassment to America🤡 #cdnpoli

North Korea out there calling balls and strikes.

Importance of being there for family, especially kids 🥺 ❤️

They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK

From this, and other documents filed, it sounds like the police encountered Boelter at both locations where he killed people, and yet he was not stopped. WTAF.

Don't play in the pool if you can't take the splashing. If you are going to make gross exaggerations, expect to be called out on them. Thanks for blocking because you couldn't defend your comment.

EPIC response.

This is the largest crowd to witness a parade in history — period

*taps the sign*

❗️

Fitting for today’s cat fight.

Wait... is this the best meme ever made?

How am I supposed to get any work done today, when it's far more interesting and entertaining to watch this????

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.
