This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

Happy Victory for US Arms and Down With Treasonous Slavers Day!

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!) And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc. This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Well, yes, actually.

Murdered. The word you're looking for is murdered, Newsweek.

A VERY popular question right now on AskHistorians is also a pretty frequently asked one. "How does Ken Burns hold up? " Several of our fantastic contributors weigh in on the matter, including links to previous discussions on older documentaries . Don't miss it #Skystorians!

Meet Yoshinobu Yamamoto's new dog, Carlos! 🐾 (via yoshinobu__yamamoto/IG)

after this many years of watching president grandpa get mad at whatever he sees on television i'm prepared to vote for whichever candidate can most snobbishly say "i don't even own a TV". the more they look down on the debate moderator for asking about it the better

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Kevin Kiley introducing a bill to ban partisan gerrymandering at the national level and desperately trying to become a Reasonable Bipartisan after Newsom deleted his district shows how you *acutally* uphold norms btw: you impost costs for breaking them

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

The stove, it burns!

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I was assured that Josh the Dachshund is, in fact, a registered voter.

Hello welcome to bluesky. We have every kind of anti-government radical left of center, and also, baseball

The vice president is a disgusting bigot who must repent or be thrown into a lake of fire on judgement day.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is restricting the number of refugees admitted to the U.S. to 7,500 and they will be mostly white South Africans.

The Dodgers told me Yesavage keeps striking out their batters so I asked how many batters they have and they said they just go to the dugout and get a new batter afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding batters to Yesavage and then Jason Bateman started crying.

This Mexican WWII poster is some of the hardest shit ever

The Jays and Dodgers will break for Christmas Eve to share a drink in no man’s land, show each other photos of the family they left back home, before heading back to their respective trenches.

it is the 4738th inning vladimir guerrero the third comes in as a defensive replacement for his father the pitcher signals for another intentional walk to shohei ohtani

Game 3 of the World Series will continue until morale improves.

Kavanaugh will burn in hell

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the World: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: [...} A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

No Kings, Richmond VA.

Top story when you go to The Guardian this AM. Which it is not when you go to the Washington Post or the NY Times. Apt language here, whereas WaPo describes the day as an airing of grievances as though we are a bunch of whining George Costanzas, not a vast public fearful of losing everything.

The US government is gang affiliated www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Treating the Declaration of Independence’s list of grievances like a to do list. "He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people." "For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate …".

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power

These. Are. People. Someone's kid. Someone's brother. Someone's dad, mother, uncle, cousin. These are people and Hegseth is simply murdering them for sport.

Yes, You Are The Goodest Girl, I Missed You While I Was Standing Ominously In The Corner Of That Guy's Vision All Day, Too. #inktober #puppy

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

The baseball gods are strange but just.

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

One of the things I always find telling is the idea that we have to judge past people by the standards of their time, as if the fact that they did bad things means that everyone thought it was okay. They didn't. Pretty much every obviously evil act had people saying that it was, in fact, bad.

straight up child murder www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

The person who did all of these things was called a “tyrant…unfit to be the ruler of a free people” in 1776. Yup. Give it a read…

Thought I would cook something up

Trying to phrase as delicately as possible to abide by TOS and cover my ass: Nullifying the plain text of the Constitution as explicitly meant by those that penned it for the purpose of voiding a right to citizenship crosses a threshold that cannot be uncrossed and I hope even this SCOTUS sees that.

Chotiner interviews Janeway

Trump committed like three Watergates yesterday but you’d barely know it if you consume legacy media. The NYT has its Trump coverage buried beneath its ongoing hagiography of Charlie Kirk.

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

A lot of respect for Kristof for not letting this go. It will be easy to forget the USAID cuts in the years to come. It's good to have people around making us remember.
