it's amazing how prevalent the idea is that a bigot who calmly says "no sir" and "yes ma'am" is more civil than a kindhearted person who tells nazis to fuck off

“I will never visit the United States again,” Mr. Jeong said. @nytimes.com #Hyundai www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/w...

Journalists and reporters and commentators are being fired for accurately repeating, as in word for word, what a person is on video saying. We have well and truly lost freedom of the press and freedom of speech.

"it's so strange that half of us are like you should care about everyone even if it doesn't directly impact you, the other half are like, no." H/t @wildoakfarms on IG

The Republican Party is gonna go down in infamy. Which is small comfort. But richly deserved.

I am so ashamed of us. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

You gotta be some kind of monster to be proud of canceling Kermit and Stephen.

All I'm saying is if you have yet to see Superman, run don't walk. It's that good.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

I'm just leaving this here.

70% of eligible voters did not vote for him. He doesn't have a mandate. He has a sliver.

This is fine.

👇🎯 Again, the casual ease with which we’ve decided neither the law nor the constitution nor our int’l treaty commitments (which are also part of US law) matter at all is indicative of how far we’ve collapsed into authoritarianism & how not punishing things like Iran-Contra & Iraq 2003 got us here.

Why are any democrats (not counting Fetterman, he's an asshat and doesn't count) voting for ANYTHING brought to the floor by the fascist regime? Every time it's like a knife to the back.

Thank goodness we have Jack Posobiec to inform us that grown men trading mean tweets is how "high agency males" communicate with each other <checks notes> directly. Because that's not what I would have called it.

But "due process" isn't important if you're innocent.

They really and truly want us dead. www.npr.org/2025/05/21/n...

Somebody please explain to me why ANY Democratic Senator would vote yes on ANY nomination brought by the fascist regime? FOLKS. JUST. SAY. NO. (this question is not in search of answer, as they will only infuriate me)

Every store, retailer, service provider, outlet—every entity involved in commerce should display the tariff cost of their wares and services.

The kids are all right

Please read this principled and beautiful refusal to become complicit “in systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging” from @alondra.bsky.social time.com/7285045/resi...

This is very not good. Like super duper not good.

I wish I was living 50 years from now and reading about how the word "trump" completely reversed its meaning starting in the mid 21st century, switching from "to win or override" to "to destroy with mindless incompetence and venal purpose" That CEO really trumped his company didn't he?

It astonishes me how many unqualified people he has access to: it's like an endless ladder of the Peter Principle

Big Pharma: $1.6 trillion "Wellness" industry: $6.3 trillion One relies on science, research, trials, and data. One... does not.

Would be nice if the coverage, you know, covered

This is astonishingly true

New Rat Pope is the name of my other band

Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.

This creates a pseudo-legislative foundation for a police state—'pseudo' because executive orders aren’t technically law. This distinction can become irrelevant if law enforcement, military, intelligence agencies choose to enforce them law, regardless of their constitutional validity.

He's also the president who killed things like this. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

What the fuck? Seriously. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Russell Riley sums it up.

Hmmm. Odd he's not calling for "strongly worded letters"

Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

So gd accurate

Trying to think of any government registry of people's medical and private information that was a good thing....

Nobody is safe. Nobody.

If we survive him, it's going to take decades to recover. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

Auchincloss: "This issue about the Maryland man is not about border security or immigration. It's about freedom. Freedom in the US means that if your feet are on American soil, you get to stand in front of a judge on an equal basis to the awesome power of the state and put forward the facts."

Not the same indeed.

This is some sick shit
