I'm not exaggerating when I say following @boltsmag.org rn will unlock money for our journalism. A generous reader, @russ41.bsky.social, has offered to donate $1 for every 1-person increase to our follower count. If you're not following @boltsmag.org yet, it'll directly help fund our reporting!

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Those new to Bsky need to be made aware of one of the greatest skeets ever, deleted long before its time.

The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza. The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

lmao david byrne showed the video of the ice agents tripping over themselves while trying to run after a biker on wacker drive during the “life during wartime” segment of his chicago show tonight

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

By contrast, Democrats spend most of their money on TV ads. This failure to build capacity means that the money on failed campaigns has a net zero return on investment. Democrats could easily divert $200 million every cycle to invest in advocacy media and have plenty more than Republicans.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Once you realize the NYT is trying to help him you can’t stop seeing it

NEW: A few weeks ago, @muckrock.com shared the Brady list for Baltimore County. Scanning it, I noticed the police chief was on there. I then spent weeks trying to figure out why. But no one — not the state's attorney, nor the police department — is explaining it. www.thebanner.com/community/cr...

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

starting to think that an increasingly senile trump is being shown a different reality by his aides by making ai videos of shit and telling him it’s real news

THE MEME IS REAL

Grok is being sent to the reeducation camp

@maureencoffeyva.bsky.social Can we PLEASE get some oversight of Milani Construction's work on the Pike? Between gas line ruptures, horrific pedestrian safety measures and debris constantly on the road damaging our vehicles, enough is enough!

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.

If you've experienced domestic violence or supported DV survivors, you'll recognize the walking on eggshells dynamic. SSHHHH be quiet, make yourself small, don't anger them so they don't lash out again or further...

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

The young people who would have been most likely to lead the domestic anti-fascist fight in 2025 were repeatedly arrested, beat, jailed, mocked by elites and non-elites over the past 5 years. This was bipartisan. I find it interesting whenever some people ask 'where the young people are' now.

yeah this is all downstream of the dominant legislative faction selecting for "is appealing to big donors" when it comes to advancement/leadership, who then convince themselves "raising money from big donors is the key to winning" since it's what they're good at, and then they flub everything else

Happy 15th anniversary of the peak achievement of literary criticism, to all who celebrate

"The man who is not yet mayor is to blame for a shooting that happened under the watch of an ex-cop mayor who's thrown every available dollar at the NYPD," insists sex pest

Welcoming people into the tent means, like, YOUR NEIGHBOR DOWN THE STREET who respons to your protest sign, not your Congressman who voted to send billions of weapons to murder children, & not the NYT columnist who helped create the largest cohort of pediatric amputees in history. Don’t be dense!!!

In a night of pure magic with the incomparable @thejoedante.bsky.social and some gremlin friends, we had the best time at our sold out screening of GREMLINS 2 on 35mm (big shout out to our projectionists who helped make the night so unforgettable)

not a single lie detected

This is the truest thing I have ever seen. You cannot imagine how much the Romans would have lost their minds for excel. They literally already started writing our historical chronicles in synchronized columns *by hand*

The Texas Death Match between Jon Moxley & Hangman Adam Page was a big, bad motherfucker of a match, a transcendent AEW moment whose legend will only grow from Saturday, a redemption story so strong it healed some wounds that stretched back to 1997. For @vgbees.com: vgbees.com/texas-death-...

Trump’s megabill will strip 14 million Americans of access to healthcare care. Here’s why our top story today is something a neo-Nazi sent us about a college application from 15 years ago.

Reality is now so internet poisoned you cannot say true things without appearing insane. “The New York Times ran a hit piece on Zohran purely so a minor race science blogger could place insider trades on Polymarket” sounds like you are a schizophrenic but it is straightforwardly factual!

I’m a hardworking, taxpaying, churchgoing, grandkid-raising American citizen. And if I work all day long and want to go home, smoke a joint & just stare at the fireplace for 3 hours…that’s my civil liberty. ‪ @sarapayan.bsky.social‬ reports on my mission to end America's prohibition on marijuana:

"Hey, y'all. Were here to endorse Andrew Cuomo."

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

He hasn’t posted here in a while but this is @filmthepolicela.bsky.social helping out LAPD with some riot control tonight. Pretty funny.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

It’s the happiest day of Elon Musk’s life because he finally posted something people actually want to read

"Visits to the imperial palace were historically dull affairs. But not under the reign of Caligula."
