Good hed from @apnews.com

Such a simple debunking. 1908: autism first described and named. 1943: autism first diagnosed. 1953: paracetamol first introduced commercially as Panadol. 1955: Tylenol first introduced.

One way of seeing the radicalism of the current Supreme Court majority is understanding that they are taking this understanding, this judicial faith, and wiping their asses with it.

Judges accept that other judges get to second-guess them, even if they don't think those judges are better judges than they are, because they have faith that those judges can answer any specific question more accurately because they can examine it more carefully.

I AM REMINDING MYSELF OF THIS AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES FOR THE MESSAGE TO STICK

Exactly this. @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social is absolutely correct in saying that the boycotts are for being bootlickers to fascists. Just because you did the did the right thing ONLY after your pocketbook suffered, doesn’t make you any less of a pos. No points for doing what you SHOULD have.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Contrary to what Trump is saying, there is a “down side” to separating MMR into three separate vaccines. That’s three unnecessary office visits and three unnecessary copays. This type of policy puts up more barriers to vaccination.

its just not defensible in 2025 for democratic candidates and officeholders not to have a clear position on asserting the equal rights of transgender americans. if you're unwilling, step aside and let a patriot take your place.

They even tried the Star Wars bullshit and no one bought it. As great as reversal is, it's not enough to say "ok Jimmy Kimmel is back" - they need to make an actual commitment for the next 10 times Trump's feelings are hurt and he tries to have angry FCC chihuahua Brendan Carr anklebite the media.

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

Regarding Kimmel and Disney (a rant continued): I've said my piece (for now) about Disney and how they aren't magically our friends; now it's Kimmel's turn. As an amazingly wealthy white man, he also has an obligation.

Don't stop. Keep your cancellations. Let them know they can't take the risk of bowing to fascism ever. This is still happening with Target because they quickly pulled all DEI. Keep hurting them with your money. They do not own our attention, they do not own our money.

So, legal beagles, are we FINALLY at the point where you're ready to say that the Supreme Court of the United States in its current incarnation is beyond saving? Can we PLEASE stop pretending that their decisions will be anything other than supportive of fascism?

The apparent success of the boycott in defence of an incredibly wealthy white man, who has an extensive resources, cannot be where y’all put down your pitchforks. Take the win, turn the momentum to the defence of Mahmoud Khalil. Free speech, right?

‘it’s unhelpful to point out ‘ I think it’s unhelpful to still have faith in a completely captured settler colonial justice system

hey remember that post that was just going around chiding those who say ‘there is no law anymore’?

I suspect that I'm preaching to the converted here, so this is a message for the non-Bluesky folks in your life: DON'T FUCKING RESUBSCRIBE TO DISNEY UNLESS AND UNTIL (AND THEN STILL PROBABLY DON'T DO IT) THEY ADOPT IRONCLAD GUARDRAILS TO PREVENT THEMSELVES FROM CAPITULATING TO FASCISTS EVER AGAIN.

Remember, folks: Disney hasn't balanced the scales in the slightest. It responded to fascism with capitulation; it WILL do so again. Corporations and politicians aren't your friends - unless they are FORCED into virtue, they will exploit you. Disney has lifetimes of amends to make.

This should be supported by all Democrats @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov @judiciarydems.senate.gov @democrats-judiciary.house.gov

Essential viewing:

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

Happy Free Speech Day at the U where all the faculty were advised to hold classes only online because the Turning Point Tour's still coming to campus

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

please stop saying shit like "real christians don't do this." Real Christians do. They're sitting there right now doing it. They joined that kind of Christianity with the explicit intention of doing exactly what they're doing right now.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

I have an imposter so please report @kevin-mkruse.bsky.social

Overdosing on fucked-up funereal internet videos? TRY THIS INSTEAD: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gsq...

This. If they're gonna paint you as pro-trans either way, the answer is to explain why standing up for trans people is the correct thing to do, and that trans rights are human rights. See also: if they're gonna say you're a socialist anyway, run on enacting popular policies for the common good.

the fact they're out here running "abigail spanberger will trans your kids" against one of the most conservative candidates out of the Democratic Party is a great example of why actually standing up for trans people, especially kids, is the only way to go

Especially your MMR vaccine. Adults in their 40s and above in particular.

I GOT SOME VACCINES. YOU SHOULD GET SOME TOO. THEY'RE FUCKING GREAT.

BREAKING: At Memorial Rally, Tucker Carlson Says Charlie Kirk - Who Believed That Gay People Should Be Stoned to Death, That the 1954 Civil Rights Act Was a Mistake, That MLK Jr Was an Awful Person, and That George Floyd Had It Coming, Among Many Other Horrible Things - Had “No Hate in His Heart”

I need you to start hating Republicans like I do actually.

"Stay woke" was a warning to not trust these systems as they are out to screw you over. Which, ironically, is exactly what a lot of these conspiratorial right folks believe too. But they warped it to just mean Black.

For all of the disagreements that I see and participate in on this site, I will continue to be grateful for my fellow Bluesky users. Thank you for helping me process the horrors of this reality, and for reminding me that I am not alone.

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

Melissa Hortman - RIP #melissahortman

There are two ways to react to current reality. (1) Recognize that our constitutional order is shattered. Figure out ways to re-establish decency, without worrying over-much about complying with the broken constitution's rules about how that can happen. Or ... 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Every blue state should pass a bill stating any police, ICE agent wearing a mask should be arrested for failure to identify themselves. Anyone who is kidnapped off the streets has a right to know who is arresting/kidnapping them. What do you all think of this idea?

But what if we don't want to preserve a democracy where we can't all vote & only 2 parties get to be in charge and also since fucking when have Trump voters even asked for forgiveness and grace lmao exactly what repentance have they done what behavior changes have they made to first stop doing harm

That honoring a nazi could get more Democratic votes than simply having a debate on whether the worst president in American history should be removed from office was the final straw. These people are collaborators and criminal ones at that. They have violated their oath to the US constitution.

I don't prepper post much anymore because I figure either the message resonated with folks or it didn't It feels like maybe a quick reminder PSA is in order, though-- now is a good time to do an inventory check and think again about what your plan is for food supply chain problems.

Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!

the conservative faction of the DFL will 100% tank the 2026 elections if they don’t get their way or if they feel threatened at all by pro-trans pro-taxation pro-union pro-immigrant pro-public safety pro-mass transit candidates. this is no longer even a question.
