I know he’s cut his funding of The Intercept but has Omidyar ever publicly acknowledged what a debacle it was or is he actually that blind to its actual ratfucking impact?

cropped sc because tensions are running high so no need to start unnecessary beef, but this is something literally no country on earth has, and it’s fucking annoying when people act superior to you because you’re grappling with this shit as it actually exists rather than airly imaging utopias.

still bowled over at [stares uncomprehendingly at notes] Bill Kristol being our strongest soldier

But who will get custody of their face?

Blood and Stuffies is a rallying cry

pls keep this idiot talking in front of cameras as much as possible, it will make the hearings proceed much more smoothly

worth a try these days

We have a constitutional right to scream, yell and disrupt all day. It's not a capital offense.

I thought it was a gift link (that I'd gotten from someone else; I don't give them my money either) No, it's not the first fatality

This is the ninth shooting by ICE since September (I did not know that). All of them were into vehicles.

Honestly warming up with some low level impeachments seems like a good use of time. Get Noem, Kennedy, etc

The Democratic Party is doing a good job today and we need to acknowledge that.

another chance to preach the good news of "boost that which you wish to see more of" 👍

But what are we gonna do with the 20,000 law professors after we abolish them

That is how you accurately report on what happened. Clear language.

in case you needed a tiny dose of levity too

at least someone is stating the obvious that this was lethally incompetent police work

they had ample manpower to frisk a single physician & control the scene but appear more concerned with the flow of traffic after shooting someone AYFKM

During the NDAA fight Dems should Change the ICE physical fitness test to the most strict out of federal LE and let the vast majority flunk out.

To make this more explicit: a key aspect of Bluesky is its decentralized nature. When you delete a post, although Bluesky's *official* servers will indeed (eventually) delete your post, 3rd party consumers of the firehose are under no obligation (technical or otherwise) to do so.

Just comically criminal, not even subtle.

Where is the run over ICE officer then?

muting ≈1/3rd of the accounts replying to this strong statement will improve your experience on this website

absolutely indefensible

It took a minute, but I've confirmed this image is real. ICE killed a young mom for no reason. That's the story.

my sign tapping continues

Guys, with understanding that everyone is angry right now, I am honestly going to start blocking people who say things like, "Who cares? The law doesn't matter anymore," or "They can do whatever they want, they can't be stopped" etc. I mean, if you really feel that way, you're a part of the problem.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but: you don't have to force yourself to watch, even if the video isn't explicit you don't have to see someone die out of a sense of moral obligation we, as a society, must respond to what happened but traumatizing yourself is not praxis

some good trusted journalism here, an increasingly endangered resource

for anyone needing a moment of zen

gotta keep your banhammer handy these days, the action is fast & furious

tapping my sign to boost that which you wish to see more of

I hope everyone else included "practice self care" in their New Year's resolutions

a good statement people in favor of the rule of law & due process should support & boost while eagerly awaiting investigative updates & legal action

every time he is even tangentially aligned with something I agree with....

I'm sure such free speech champions as Bari Weiss' Free Press & the Harper's Letter signatories will be all over this story any minute now right? 😑

I know people on this website are likely to be more amenable to this than I am, but I want to stress that institutional investor purchases of single family homes are a microscopic share of the market and so you’re basically not gonna see material changes in home prices from this

very good advice below, as is using content warning filters when posting videos so no one gets inadvertent autoplay PTSD. & FWIW if you ever do see something you're worried about getting intrusive thoughts from playing Tetris right afterwards might help prevent that

A kind of weird tension/contradiction is that the median bsky poster being hyper-engaged, very online weirdo (I’m sorry guys but you know it’s true) means that this place has terrible intuitions about what will resonate with the median voter, while *also* understanding this admin better than most

can we all but especially those of us in the media learn to never share this horrific admin's misleading statements w/o any commentary on their credibility or lack thereof? don't make it easier for bad faith accts/bots to establish their narrative, always include context

unlike the hive mind I suspect this comms strat is actually useful for median voters & anyone can be the victim of terrible timing vs breaking news but BSky is 100% not the audience for this. more Dems need to learn to tailor the msg by audience & adapt their comms to such channel asap

Congrats to @flexasaurusrex.bsky.social for building MTV Rewind over the weekend. The app pulls music videos by decade from YouTube, playing them in random order to simulate the MTV video watching experience. Fantastic idea! wantmymtv.xyz

Teddy tackles bad relationships 🫡

Hey @minakimes.bsky.social - did you see we got a Teddy Bridgewater alternate ending?

i'll always say its worth it to study military related things but to be honest the problem we're facing now has little to do with knowledge and isn't going to be addressed by ingesting more knowledge

we don’t know because this is uncharted territory. no fifa peace prize recipient has ever bombed another country before

One thing about this political moment - that goes on forever, alas - is that you really find out who actually Believes Things and who was just in it for power and clout. You can think libertarianism is crazy-land, but Gillespie is truly a libertarian. The same for Bill Kristol's neo-conservativism.

When I was 23, in an all-company meeting, I said, "It's not that I'm lazy. It's that I just don't care," in a tense moment, trying to lighten the mood. I got fired the next day.
