Is Trump gonna lose his job for saying this about St Charlie?

The Medieval Masterpiece, the Book of Kells, Is Now Digitized and Available Online

It might be hard to convey to people outside economics just how seismic this is. The Trump effect has most certainly arrived to US academia.

How to be an informed, pro-library, anti-book ban voter in upcoming fall elections (if you have them) and well into the future. Don't just celebrate banned books. Don't just read banned books. VOTE to support the democratic institutions creating access to them. bookriot.com/library-elec...

Apparently this is a thing? 💙⚓️

Yup. We don't have a lot of levers against the billionaire takeover of civic space, but we do have our attention and our consumption choices.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

In case we forget because so much happens every day, I think it's pretty clear they knew EXACTLY whom they blew up because Vance said as much and I hope someone will report on this

The Red Sox are going to the playoffs! ❤️⚾❤️ youtu.be/5apEctKwiD8?...

Woo Hoo! Red Sox are playing in October!

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Actually we seem to be living in this world

My statement on House Resolution 719 on Charlie Kirk.

This is so good, but everything else in the world is so bad

The real story here — that this happened after a threat from the federal government — is completely absent from this headline. Again, the press is so in the tank for Trump — and/or scared — that they don’t even have solidarity for their own.

That motherfucker on Fox News said we should execute homeless people

this is quite genuinely insane, and I want to believe the backlash to this will be severe

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

This is it. Cancel culture, but for real. The Twitter Files, but for real. Actual, unadulterated collusion between the government and media-owning corporations to censor Americans. Shame on the MAGA libertarians and fake-heterodox civility cops who helped pave this road to authoritarianism.

Second comedian cancelled. Americans see where this is going, right?

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This is a better explanation and coverage on the dark side of gaming and online culture than most mainstream media orgs have. Because for years, mainstream media ignored / disbanded their gaming culture coverage.

Sarah wrote a paper! 🎉🪰🧬

The thing to understand about the language policing of the MAGA folks declaring angrily that (accurately) calling Trump a fascist is incitement is that this standard only goes one way. Their violent rhetoric is 'legitimate,' after all, because they don't view you as fully human anyway.

‘The anti-vax movement isn’t simply a grassroots network of concerned parents. It’s an industry. … It operates on a simple premise: if you’re not vaccinating your kids, you need to protect them somehow, and here’s a bunch of things you can buy to do that.’ Excellent writing in @macleans.bsky.social

Ideological violence in America mostly comes from the right. You can check multiple sources, but I am going to use the libertarian Cato Institute here to avoid being accused of cherrypicking, So, how can universities, a supposed hotbed of leftist indoctrination, driving political violence?

In a normal country we would be talking about the fact Charlie Kirk was a fascist stochastic terrorist engaged in coordinating attacks on educators, children and others opposed to his fascist views. Reminder the media is willingly lying about Kirk and tpusa. Kirks legacy is white power terror.

Wow!!! Here is what he said. I’m in full support of Matthew Dowd.

I hate every single politician and anti-vaxxer who created this culture. They have all been vaccinated but they want to children to suffer and die because they have so much hubris they think they can outwit science with raw milk & turmeric. A pox on their houses. May they be fucking haunted forever.

Michelle Obama: "listen to your doctor, eat some fruit and go play" RFK Jr: "eat this roadkill and raw milk instead of medicine"

Someone please kill me right now.

You guys see where this is going? Right?

Lol this is exactly what I was gonna say

In case you missed it, Trump’s new jobs stats guy is a Nazi “history buff” who was at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Anyone who didn’t see this coming clearly doesn’t understand the bigots in charge of America now. This was always their goal. And their next step will be making it illegal on a federal level. And then persecuting for daring to be LGBT+ at all.

The nine picture books cited in Mahmoud v. Taylor are not pornography. Nor are they obscene. "What is obscene is a Supreme Court decision that denies the basic humanity and equality of LGBTQIA+ people." @penamerica.bsky.social

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

We're gonna need a bigger Hague

Just to state the stupidly obvious: This is treatment the United States has subjected HUNDREDS of men to without trial or process, the vast majority of whom have no criminal record of any kind. (Not, of course, that it would be acceptable if they did.)

What voters think nativism will mean: stop giving benefits to others, so you can focus resources on citizens What it actually means in practice: stop giving citizens benefits, so you can focus resources on punishing others

While I'm at it: Lisa Murkowski was *appointed* to US Senate, BY HER FATHER, after he resigned that seat to become Gov Truly inspiring story about opportunity in America Topped now by "poor little me" rationale for supporting a bill she knows is bad for America. And that she could have blocked.

Adding to the Trump/Musk body count, as predicted. Glad Bezos had a nice wedding, though.

Meta will pocket $15 billion from one new tax break in Trump's budget. "By the way, that is more than the federal government spends annually on childcare." - @warren.senate.gov
