This is your December reminder that it's absolutely acceptable to try and get to a set annual book goal by cramming in as many novellas and cookbooks as you can find before Christmas swallows you up! #booksky 💙📚

Bro needs to get the hell out of Louisiana!

An absolute embarrassment. Only the best people, right?

It turns out that putting an alcoholic frat boy from Fox News in charge of the military was a BAD idea. Go home, Pete Hegseth, you're (always) drunk.

There isn’t enough horse paste in the world to keep this guy upright for another year.

I ❤️ Sabrina Carpenter.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it? Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean. He served for 37 years.

Good morning, friends! ☀️. We hope you have a buntastic day! ❤️🐰 #bunny #rabbit

This is the most consequential story for the 2026 midterms. Yet, I cannot find it anywhere on legacy media. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Nothing is more performative American than a fuckin cowboy hat outside rancher or adjacent

Fascist regime threatening political opponents with prison to discourage dissent sounds like a better headline

Are we winning yet?!

This household dosen't celebrate the genocide of the Indigenous Peoples of this country. Fuck your turkey and your "Thanksgiving".

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Finland uses “Russia-gauge” rails. They are going to move to European compatible rail gauge for their own resilience. This is what we should be thinking about for moving to open social away from American platforms: it should come with significant spending commitments & is absolutely necessary.

An older watercolour drawing from when I used to make frequent trips to sketch in London. This shows the Embankment with lots of pigeons, a pavement artist and a couple of Japanese young women on one of the benches. This was sold at an exhibition. #art #pleinair #London #Thames #watercolour

Morning.

Good God nobody wants this

Lmao but what if she *really* is?

This should be considered treason.

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

It’s funny that even now, with everything we know, there’s still a retreat towards treating racism as somehow uniquely unbelievable.

Demand Congress support the discharge petition that will force a vote on extending ACA tax credits:

40% of U.S. women aged 15–44 are like, “Thanks, but I’ll take Canada or literally anywhere else, please.”

You know we're living in an unhinged timeline when you find yourself siding with Marjorie Taylor Greene.

This video from survivors of Epstein (and his assorted ring of abusers) is gut-wrenching! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!! No more protecting of these degenerates, depraved deplorables, pedophiles, sexual exploiters of children, & their enablers!!!

Honestly it's probably what Musk wanted

There are plenty of nations with great universities to choose from. Don't come to the USA until we pass this fascist kidney stone.

Do you prefer Authoritarianism or the First Amendment?

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

One thing that's been heavily proven to me is Bluesky is not all politics. The music, record, cd, movie, books, horror and lots more scenes are heavily alive and well here with almost zero negativity. Better engagement here than Facebook has been in years.

The DNC didn't win last night; the fired-up Democratic voters did.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

As air traffic controllers face a second missed paycheck next week, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sounds the alarm that the system is nearing its breaking point.

I hate men sometimes

He can't win unless he cheats

Despite years of voter suppression efforts by the state’s Republican Party, Virginians have spoken: It’s time for GOP gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears to “go somewhere and sit down.”

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free: (Published 2019)

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not. This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.

I hope someone is writing "12 Hangry Men" about the sandwich guy jury

Saw an article about someone "redefining what it means to be a pop-star." And just all the comments from people being like "who?" "never heard of her?" and it's just folks, we're in our 40s, just accept we won't know a lot of these people and that doesn't mean "music is dead." We're just old...

Texas has a special election for Sylvester Turner's seat (TX-18), a full seven months after he died, because Abbott capriciously delayed it. A simple, long overdue reform would be for Congress to mandate by federal law how soon after a vacancy special elections have to happen.
