That's why my plan of yelling at Democrats on social media is all the activism that's needed

For the record, I think there's a real chance McConnell is functionally dead and that photo is faked in some fashion. But the "evidence" for it being fake is laughably weak or straight up lies and misinformation. I'll push back on misinformation any time I can because truth is suffering enough.

More than 700,000 people have been killed by Donald Trump and Elon Musk as a direct result of them shutting down USAID.

like I'm sorry but I do expect a different standard of conduct from elected politicians than I do from @marxist_piss_drinker_69

Neither party's approval rating is particularly relevant. Ds are winning election after election, so there's that. Second, Andy Kim has a way of operating in the world and as a politician which is admirable and effective -- and hardly amounts to remaining silent in the face of evil

When Dems scream no one reports on it so it seems like silence.

For posterity. John Brown was out there (in heaven I guess) inspiring the North to burn out the devil of slavery. Yet he's a negative story. Meanwhile Walt Whitman is exalted and does this: bsky.app/profile/tinp...

He helped Ukraine not get genocided by Russia, even if it was just a tiny bit. Don't argue because you think your USA perspective is more important. Just acknowledge that sometimes bad people can do good things.

Every American on Bluesky needs to shut up about Graham in relation to Ukraine Did he save them? No. Did he do something? Yes. Could he have done more? Yes But all of us could have, and still can, do more If you actually care about geopolitics don't attack other people for their perspectives

Ok everybody, listen: in the morning, a bunch of Democrats are going to put out boilerplate statements about Graham’s death in which they won’t call him the dipshit asshole he was. Let try not to get worked up at them about this very normal and meaningless thing.

you know, Colbert is free

Game 9!!

Ancient Greek colonies developed their own forms of art, separate from traditional Greek forms, influenced by work from Asia Minor and Egypt. Left, a spectacular bronze dancer, probably from Alexandria; right, a painted terracotta dancer from Centuripe, Sicily. [See ALT]🏺 1/ 📸 me

We promised President Trump that if he tried to eliminate birthright citizenship, we'd take him to court and win. We kept that promise.

Yes, men tend to think that tradwife stuff is solely fetish content, because that's what their algorithm shows them! But the stuff aimed at women is clearly more in the ideological lifestyle influencer vein

It's evident the dirtbags can't even save themselves. And they're super mad about it, lashing out by throwing tantrums.

Elected officials do thousands of small tasks a year that are not on their policy platform. Maybe it’s an emergent crisis they must vote on. Maybe it’s a small, niche issue that never came up during the campaign. Wherever it is, you cannot have a candidate tell you everything they’ll do in office.

I just conducted an oversight visit at an ICE detention facility in Kentucky. The stories I heard are heartbreaking. They're tearing families apart and spending billions of taxpayer dollars to do it. This cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Always a good reminder for us overly online people: most of America doesn't even know who Platner is.

Translated: "Every time I hear "Baked Mochocho," I somehow think of a sea slug." That's a sea slug. Baked mochocho is a Japanese meme about Japanese wheel cakes. The colors are kinda similar to this sea slug, but there's still a lot of missing context.

lol

Evergreen I guess. Applies to both the sports and the politics today.

Can't believe I missed this whole thread Good fun

Amazing looks Not menswear, otherwise I'd tag Derek Guy

"We can't do Y until X is fixed" is widespread nonsense thinking. It's far easier to manage our approach to civility than it is to overthrow the current administration. We can also do both!

Last minute double nutmeg against the host Always lmao

Please, post this again.

I follow the USMNT as a hater fan. I want a loss now to tarnish the Trump years. Then we get a glorious win in 4 years, with a brighter future.

Blocked by him for this. Fair enough.

👀 How Russian oil tankers are installed and uninstalled.

I am co-sponsoring articles of impeachment against Secretary of Education Linda McMahon with @repbonamici.bsky.social. She was never qualified to lead the Department of Education, and every decision she has made in office has reinforced that reality.

A federal judge bars President Trump from implementing a proof of citizenship requirement to vote.

Profile of Mary Peltola, who leads incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) in polls, not only is interesting in itself but illustrates how Alaska's admirable electoral reforms (universal top-4 primary followed by ranked choice voting #RCV in general) help candidates like her who show cross-party appeal.

Just endless pressure from Spain and Cape Verde refuses to break. Love to see it.

Amad Diallo in the 90th minute, coming on as a sub, and he's a super sub. The elephants of Côte d'Ivoire with their first win at the FIFA Men's World Cup since 2014

We all saw this with Eric Trump trying to get free money from rigged UFC fights today? Post from the announcer, Daniel Comier, sharing the screenshots.

Good on Tiedrich for this correction. It was horrible in the meantime for the poor guy being dogpiled on. Everyone telling him to kill himself and die and how he was a complete shit. Bluesky mob mentality is the worst.

I'm not even watching the live stream anymore. I'm just enjoying Bluesky reactions to the State of the Scaffolding.

All time scores

The known cases of police using Flock to stalk people are almost certainly a vast underreporting of the overall abuse, because they largely include only cases in which the behavior was so egregious that it led to police officers being fired, arrested, or both.

It happened tonight But not the good thing

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is smart enough to make sure there's not a single camera shot with him and Trump anywhere close together

Counterpoint: eschew the train and get carried by the snails off into the sunset.
