In a way sure, but while the US kept Hollywood style Nazis alive and made Germany look bad, we here in Europe have moved on and we respect Germans. I am a neighbor of them. Germans have dealt with their past and educated their youth, US not so much about their racist past. bsky.app/profile/13bu...

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

Last week's episode of "The USA" felt a little over the top. I mean, having the Gestapo analogues kill a woman named "Renee Good" feels kinda on the nose, don't you think? Are the writers getting lazier this season? And what happened to the Venezuela plotline they introduced the week before???

Making America whiter again won't make America great.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Thank you @r-emrys.bsky.social for writing /A Half-Built Garden/. I very much enjoyed reading it and your vision of the future. I keep thinking we have to imagine better and you and your network did that so well!

Her name was Renee Good. She was only 37. She was a mother of a 6 year old child. And today in Minneapolis, MN, an ICE fascist shot her dead point blank. Sending all my love to her child and her family. Abolish ICE. Abolish fascism. Abolish tyranny. qasimrashid.substack.com/p/how-to-pro...

Thank you, #PerplexityAI.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

My dear Wormwood, It is imperative that you keep the patient away from doing anything to improving the material conditions of his neighbors, by any means necessary. Call it socialism, call it woke, call it politics, whatever is needful. (1/6)

The unmitigated irony of DHS buying ads against human trafficking WHILE DOING HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

I love that Cuomo is calling Sliwa a spoiler. Does he not understand how ranked choice voting works? ...or is he just hoping NYC Republicans don't understand how it works?

"Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked."

You know who had a secret Police? Who also spied and kidnapped people The Queen of Narnia She was evil and didn't like humans either I'm on the side of the Beavers And welcome back any Fauns who change their minds

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

If the daily show is correct, it's footage of a very obscure transgender athlete who plays a very obscure sport in a foreign country.

If boredom not hunger then why hunger shaped?

BREAKING: For the second time in two weeks, clergy and faith leaders have been arrested while praying in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, part of a larger protest against the GOP-led budget.

I went on a road trip yesterday and saw a sign for steak and shake and wow have they gone all in on RFK and tallow. Eww.

They said nothing is certain but death and taxes, but the trump tariffs are taxes that are... Very uncertain.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Hi @libbiesp.bsky.social! I heard about your work through @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social and I wondered if you had heard the theory that Mary Magdalene was the beloved disciple in the book of "John", and possibly its author, and whether you had any thoughts about that.

Any nation that chooses cruelty against innocent people for the sake of "safety" does not deserve safety.

So here's the thing. I don't believe in America the way Cory Booker does. But I'm really glad he does. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

I hope Strom Thurmond is enjoying this moment in whatever hell he's in. @booker.senate.gov

@booker.senate.gov: [Donald Trump] will be looking down from heaven happy that Ph.D. students are studying him for centuries. YouTube Chat: Yeah that ain't where he's going.

The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."

@slotkin.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov hoping to see you ask @booker.senate.gov some questions and lend him some support!

Conspiracy theories are like tattoos and potato chips: Most people rarely get just one.

Spirit Airlines announcements about group 5 sound like this airline aggressively hates people who are flying cheap and didn't pay for anything besides the ticket.

like, major papers wasted so much ink on the dangers of cancel culture this and speech policing that. people got paid to act like the biggest threat to the 1st Amendment was a disagreement amongst sophomores at Oberlin only for Trump to start actually disappearing people off campuses for wrongthink

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

I don't like that my favorite tech websites have to talk about how wrong the current administrations Health Department is about vaccines. I want to read about video games and gpus, not about kids dying because RFK jr has fallen down a conspiracy rabbit hole 🤬 (1/2) arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Some good news out of Montana.

Rep Zephyr’s speech flips 13 GOPs, trans bills die in Montana Trans people have been scapegoated so effectively (among older people) that we're flooded with models of how to hate. But when people hear the love behind why we stand up for each other, we win. Bravo, @zoandbehold.bsky.social!

I did not have the French riding in to save democracy on my bingo card. I take back all by teenage "freedom fries" jokes. Also the ones about "how many Frenchman does it take to defend Paris" jokes. (Back then I thought the answer was "it's never been attempted.")

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” Theodore Roosevelt

He shouldn't have had to do this alone.

Cowards. They should've all started booing during the speech. Sergeant at arms couldn't have removed all of them.

That dipshit "president" is lying about anyone over 115 getting social security and the sick part is I don't even know if he KNOWS he's lying.

"Hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud." You lying !@#$%.

You do have to appreciate the audacity of him listing off the worst things he's done as "brags." #SOTU

I've spent 30 seconds watching the State of the Union and of course they turned off comments, but this guy deserves to be booed the entire time.
