Imo what happened here is they thought that Kirk was actually the youth whisperer and all the young soft R support was because of people who loved him personally Turns out that group are allergic to solemnity (esp when forced) and immediately turned his death into a big joke

Why haven’t these auditoriums been booked out by the Party for mandatory elementary school group viewings? Isn’t that what the school busses are for? Do the Americans know nothing of the film business?

It's always the same hallucination across time and space and in whatever country the mushroom grows in. Extremely weird. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

I will vote no on the Homeland Security funding bill.

The US Military (Imagined): Sgt. Tacticool Beef, Delta Squad Navy SEAL The US Military (Actual): Col. Numbers Fuckdriguez, Ballistic Missile Range Calculator

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

it is good when we acknowledge the good things that are done, which sometimes is just making sure bad things don't happen.

Like Steponas Kairys once said, there has never been an ideological family that has gotten beaten up as much as ours and still rears its head, which means that if you believe in yourself, everything can be a victory for social democracy.

everyone takes that Sartre quote out of context by making it into some sort of statement about the right being hypocritical, but it’s not, it is specifically about antisemites regardless of political ideology and it kind of pisses me off how many people are trying to ignore that

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

The pivot from "Mamdani is a political genius for focusing his message almost entirely on affordability" to "Schumer is a political moron for focusing his message almost entirely on affordability" is odd.

first year on Bluesky was a couple of us saying “dang, Shoehei” or “Joe Mazzulla’s weird” in a crowd of folks trying their first Nude Posts in a forum for some reason

lol it's my first day at the bus company and all of these assholes keep telling me i have to go to union station???

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

Quotes and replies real plethora of "Bluesky doesn't read the article"; even in the non-paid blurb he says *this*. Honestly one of the more clear-eyed statements I've seen from Schumer about where we are.

True liberals have spent centuries fighting and dying on the barricades so their brothers and sisters can have a world where they are free to live as they please in a society governed by reason and law, not arbitrary force

Liberalism is a radical idea of universal liberation, even if most of its modern-day adherents are squishy opportunists who are simply echoing what they perceive as the prevailing ideology of their friends

Does no one on here have kids? Everyone's like "oh the billionaires are forcibly starving you, wake up sheeple" but like this is just a snack. For a kid. Calm down

No writer given respect in academia has a greater contempt for the Union and Reconstruction Amendments, the suffragettes, and the Civil Rights Movement than Howard Zinn, who saw all these groups as morons who got hornswoggled by The Man yet again.

they killed everyone and crushed the revolt

I think it's best for people's mental health to realize that there was no Utopia where every artist was able to simply draw whatever they wanted all day in idyll and that there isn't one likely on the horizon either, no matter how generous art grants get.

hey train perverts wanna see the shinkansen cloaca

Finally, the spiritual successor to Reagan doing an ill-advised Jamaican patois.

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

Tumulus builder: The grand burial of our chieftain will grant him immortality. Our way of life shall reign eternal Artisan pressing coarse fibers into clay, unknowingly damning 1000 years of his descendants to be known the Coarse Fiber Ware Culture: oh for sure

minneapolis city council vice president jamal osman, who represents cedar riverside, has shared a statement on the hateful anti muslim march tomorrow planned from downtown to that neighborhood calling for no protests there @ward6.minneapolismn.gov

I will not vote to fund DHS & ICE while they are putting Americans in danger, recklessly violating laws and decency, and refusing to be held accountable for or allow any oversight of their actions. Congress must provide checks and balances to an Administration out of control.

The ICE guy I was tailing decided to show me he knows where I live. You can’t really see in the video, but as he drove past my place he reached out the window and pointed at my apartment. Real tough guy

the post everyone got mad about for two hours has been updated turns out it's the opposite actually

Okay I know this is behind a paywall but it does a good job of capturing the utter chaos we’ve been observing.

nonviolence kinda fuckin vindicated here cause these mfs are going "mods.... MODDS... MODS I spiL My JICE"

TLDR: some jagoff is throwing these things to mess with you. Don't give them the satisfaction by panicking and thinking "OMG this is mustard gas" or some nonsense.

part of the reason I’m bullish on formal anti-ICE messaging and don’t anticipate a cooling off of the sentiment like “defund the police” is that there’s no ICE equivalent to this. the police, for whatever you think of them, are something people consider part of daily life. ICE isn’t like that!

The “keep track of what the hell is happening in Minnesota and Iran” website and the “everyone has a gender crashout after being cucked by the government they proudly failed to keep out of office” website need to be different godamn websites

It is absolutely correct that neither Trump nor Mike Johnson has any legal authority over this process However, if they decide to CLAIM that power, they can probably kick off a Right Proper Constitutional Crisis, with rival claimants each claiming to be the real Congress

"if you want to get lunch after your transgender clinic appointment the best options are the vegan italian deli or the queer-owned, resist lib themed pizza parlor" is both a true statement about my corner of DC and a preview of what all of america will look like under the auspices of woke 2

I guess “I don’t think anyone should change the tactics they are currently doing, and I don’t think they should read calls for ‘calm’ from public officials as calls for them to stop doing what they are presently doing”

Some ICE vehicles got taken and a streamer is saying that the entire MPLS city wide battle plan, operational overviews, tactical details and agent lists + id info just got found in the car lmao these clowns driving around with hatchbacks full of their whole shit like the villains in an immersive sim

"Two to three thousand armed agents of the federal government have been deployed to Minnesota. Armed, masked, undertrained ICE agents are going door to door, ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live."

It's truly stunning (though unsurprising) how little attention national media give Gov. Walz's speeches and news conferences. He's out there declaring his state under siege, and it's not in headlines outside of MN. They'll cover Trump's lies about him endlessly-- but not his actions.

Frey speech- feels like things aren’t going well

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Lmao someone threw an open bottle of piss into an ICE vehicle that was driving by

Krokodil Fridays with Tony Dokoupil

thanks to all my new followers. haven't had an influx like this since i got put on this starter pack

Bah, my ancestors signed the charamim for and against the Sanzer Rav...
