strangers are fighting to the death in my menchies over this pretty innocuous take and slinging devastating counterarguments like “what if I had to run away from a murderer” and “I like speeding”

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this there are other, better franchises - let this one go

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again. This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

Hahahahaha it's sincere!!

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Hell yes. Every bike is a cargo bike.

GIVE FOLKS CASH A lot of people panhandling use that money to get hotels or hostel beds. Give someone a $20 and they are well on their way to getting the amount they need to get inside for the night.

I mean, the column mentions how many sectors from semiconductors to agriculture "now need vastly more researchers and R&D spending just to keep productivity and growth on the same old trend line." Here's an idea: How about a society where stability instead of constant growth is the goal? 2/

This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money. Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.

Checking in on updates for Turning Point USA’s upcoming Phoenix conference AmericaFest and TikTok being a listed sponsor is definitely new this year.

Every sidewalk bicyclist is a vote for protected (not "enhanced") bike lanes.

What’s funny is that this *is* the Reagan Republican Party. Gil Scott-Heron’s B-movie about him in ‘81 might as well be about Trump today. youtu.be/xSOp507HJMA?...

repeating “the lady who handcuffed herself to the twitter building has veto power over national security personnel” to myself over and over and slowly going insane

🎯 CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER @oliverma2026.bsky.social: “The detention centers are run by private prison companies (like @CoreCivic) — they make millions PER PERSON… that’s why they’re looking for anybody brown, so they can keep stealing from taxpayers.” *THIS IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH*

If you’re not white make sure you carry your fucking freedom papers with you bsky.app/profile/radl...

It is literally life and death if you speed

thanks brett kavanaugh!

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

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

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up? TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

A new investigation revealed that school districts and local governments are reportedly overpaying for supplies because of Amazon contracts that bind them to dynamic pricing. Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

the TSA went from security theater to Schutzstaffel spies in one easy step

i think the other thing that's going on here that the primary players don't want to talk about for obvious reasons is that shutting your state out of the House Democratic Caucus entirely is a really bad idea if you think Dems are about to take the House.

there is a very good book about transatlantic exchange of fascist, eugenicist and racist ideas in the early 20th century and how those ideas shaped the nazi government in its early years. this has been transformed in popular understanding to "the nazis copied jim crow"

Michigan Republicans poisoned children with lead, and these children will have lifelong disabilities related to it. They are entitled to all the support the state can give them as they grow up and age into adults for what the state did to them and their families.

The regime can still do an incredible amount of harm while they’re in power. And, they are in some ways at their most dangerous when they’re at their weakest. But, we should all take courage from their failures and the many cracks in their coalition. If we keep pushing, we will win.

I can keep tooting my own horn about long distance cycling, right? This past summer I did a bunch of 50+ mile rides, including 100mi for Bike MS. Learned I loved going far on my bike the summer before I was diagnosed with cancer and had been dreaming about that while often bedridden. #bikesky

This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs

🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.

so, this right here? this is one of the absolutely most lawless, brazenly unconstitutional impeachable offenses ever committed by any president other than trump in the history of our country. like, this is an open and shut case. and it's a case which targeted *republicans.*

NEW: Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser (D) says Colorado will not release Tina Peters after President Trump announced he is pardoning her state-level convictions. "This is a lawless act. It's an act of intimidation," Weiser said. "It has no basis in the American law."

“For half a century, a litany of federal policies has favored large SUVs & trucks, pushing automakers & buyers toward larger models. Instead of counteracting #CarBloat thru regulation, policymakers have subtly encouraged it. That has been a boon for car companies but a disaster for everyone else.”

Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a “Maryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power. In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.” www.importantcontext.news/p/liam-neeso...

this is crazy, these people are 2nd grade-level liars

Just the other day ICE kidnapped an American citizen in Minneapolis and detained him for hours, refusing to even look at his ID. What’s stopping that from happening to any of us?

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers. If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit attractive options, it works better for everyone, including drivers. INCLUDING DRIVERS. The “war on cars” has always been a lie.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Life is crazy. @zachstafford.bsky.social texted me last night. “Elizabeth Warren wants to talk to us about Hollywood.” Me: 😮😅

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight. Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall. This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

are we still on about em dashes and ai. imo human writers should just use the em dashes even harder. we should be out here pummeling out those em dashes like we're emily dickinson

An absolute horrific nightmare of two AI bots caught in a loop with each other is the perfect example of the total nothingness of AI “brains”.

In Snohomish, WA river levels will be the highest in at least the last 75 years. We are in a climate emergency.

Rode my bike about 60mi the other day. Took a photo on a random couch next to the trail I used. I’m a cancer survivor, also got Lyme disease and long covid which made recovery seem impossible after about a decade of misery. Somehow I got better and can do something I love again.

Remembering when this defamatory hate group called me an antisemite, using a photo of me getting arrested for protesting Nazi terrorists after the Tree of Life massacre.
