Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

I haven’t given a single fuck what the British thought about anything since like… 1776. 🇺🇸

@profanity.accountant 👀

I do love that tying the grift ‘currency’ to a dying grifter, who is currently fucking over the world, is the thing that’s taking BC down. Cannot wait for the eventual crash. 👀

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.

FUCK ICE

Not the first time…

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Yeah, I got ADHD Ahhhhhh Dis Head Dontwork

Trump bragged about grappling women by the pu**y & barging into rooms of partially dressed, young pageant contestants. A jury concluded he assaulted E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room. So nothing that’s in the Epstein emails is a surprise. It’s just confirmation.

Precisely. As a world “leader” the U.S. is done for decades. In a White House meeting with civil rights leaders in early 2021, President Biden recounted his first trip to Europe. Biden he announced to them, “America’s back!” The European leaders said “yeah, but for how long?” They were skeptical.

Who ever could have guessed that an administration full of failed reality show contestants, loser tv hosts, podcasters, wanna be models, grifters, conmen, and sh*tposters couldn't run a nation?

They're going to change the clocks this weekend and the president is powerless to stop it. Because he's weak and a loser. That's what they're saying sir

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

I really need folks to stop acting like Trump's goons are somehow emotionless terminators. They are super insecure bullies who desperately want to seem strong and powerful and popular and it kills them inside when they're not. Like Trump.

Guillermo del Toro says he’d ‘rather die’ than use generative AI “My concern is not artificial intelligence, but natural stupidity. I think that's what drives most of the world's worst features” (via NPR)

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help," is actually a pretty good slogan and aspiration for a political party.

👏👏👏

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

But can we inject Bleach (TYBW) directly into our veins? 🤔

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

If the Vice President stops saying Nazi things I’ll stop calling him a Nazi and refer to him as a former Nazi. It’s that simple.

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

If you want to cancel Disney, but are reluctant to do so because your kids like to watch one or more of its shows, then this is an opportunity for you to step up and be a good parent. Explain to them why you are cancelling it. Teach them about doing the right thing. Kids are smarter than you think.

RIP 🪦 Another social media platform destroyed by NeoNazis.

I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button

“The import of this history has never been clearer than in this moment when the hard question must be asked: If you would look away from the words of Charlie Kirk, from what else would you look away?”

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

To build a broader progressive coalition, I'd argue that we need to do a better job of helping people to see how policies that disproportionately help the most vulnerable among us will leave us all in a better place long term.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Then let him run. Let Burchett run away down the hall like a coward and Raju shout the question at them. What good is asking safe questions of powerful people in order to maintain access just to keep asking safe questions? Stop holding reporters who should know better to such low standards.

It’s corruption, plain and simple.

*DOG: “You're finally back! I missed you so much!!”

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)

It's ironic that corporate CEOs are now handing Trump the reins to their companies. Because their (and their predecessors') efforts to slash the top tax rates, carve out tax loopholes, and shirk regulation are a big part of what brought us Trump in the first place.

Happy (almost) birthday to me! #mcoc

@davidhobby.bsky.social is eBay still your go to place for selling camera gear?

This moment should horrify us, but it shouldn't surprise us. Because what we're seeing--from AI to authoritarianism--is the dystopian end result of decades of neoliberal policy.
