WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Trump made $3 BILLION last year… there is a ‘FOR SALE’ sign on the White House.” (H/T @Acyn)

I’m glad I read this part because I was assuming it was the genre of ad I’ve always assumed would come for us one day: “our customers love eating M&M’s with our faces and personalities — let’s flip it for an M&M’s commercial about M&M’s devouring humans by the thousands”

I’m glad this app allows me to read through threads written by people who I guess blocked me as part of a block list or something? So many greyed out reply buttons

a 19 year old trans woman was killed by being stabbed 40 times at UW in seattle Washington I don’t wanna hear anyone talking concern trolling shit about white trans women in “safe states” overreacting at what’s happening in the United States

Can't stop laughing at going through all the work to get a journalism degree just so you can complain about municipal advertising rules in foreign countries for a billionaire's propaganda arm

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

What you write in an “editor’s note” at the end of a story when you are definitely a credible news outlet running reporting by a legitimate journalist

February: Gallup says that due to cost reasons it will no longer do presidential approval polling May: Gallup says it is exploring "digital twin" technology that replaces human respondents with AI/LLM-generated answers news.gallup.com/opinion/meth...

Trans people: we're about to be genocided by the US government GOP: Awesome, can't wait Centrists: Thoughts and prayers Liberals: It's your fault because you are a wedge issue and support Palestine Leftists: It's not a real genocide like Palestine is

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

Tennessee Republicans wasted no time in redistricting their House map to slice Memphis into three different districts. They're blatantly trying to silence Black voters. Congress must step up to protect our democracy.

The 2020 Mississippi Medical Marijuana Initiative? (The entire initiative process was declared unconstitutional. Medical marijuana was later approved by the legislature. But lawmakers never approved a new initiative process.) mississippitoday.org/2021/05/14/m...

the fundamental job of journalism is to report facts & uphold public trust, which is rapidly eroding. brushing off the careless use of AI to spread misinformation shows why that is. this kind of conduct needs to be treated as a serious violation & called out as absolutely unacceptable.

it's a violation of the NYT's own AI policy, and it's also not disclosed that AI was used to report the article. how many other articles at the @nytimes.com contain AI-generated misinformation that's gone unchecked? www.nytco.com/press/princi...

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

You have said the actual truth

We need some fringe Dems to start crazy talk about giving Roberts the wall so that packing the court, impeachment, and prison look like the moderate positions.

Remember: when faced with the prospect of massive losses to the far right and smaller losses to a more left wing but still totally normal party, the Labour right and British press chose all-out war against the left. And they will keep doing this forever.

let's not forget

Do you know how many fucking times I was told I had my head in the clouds and that centrist liberals were ‘back in reality land doing real work’???

"You don't understand how politics works" *sees mass detention camps made of chainlink fence & chicken wire* *sees laws that allow indefinite detention w/o trial* *sees courts have 3 y.o. kids sign away rights to family* *sees neonazis platformed on major news outlets* "How did we get here?"

Go back to the drawing board and take the last GOP seat out. Then force it through and impeach four judges on that court.

ok but we’ve learned laws don’t really matter anymore, the governor should just act and sign the new seats into law just like texas and florida. fuck it

The Vornado Realty CEO said the slogan "tax the rich" is as hateful as racial slurs. TAX THE RICH!

They suspended @cara.city for this!!! Dogshit website run by absolute babies. It is a Serious Violation to point out that the head of trust and safety’s pants fell down and everyone saw his little red ass and laughed

if you want a look to how the Iran War is being covered inside the anti-reality simulation that Republican voters inhabit, according to Fox News, the only reason the Strait is still blocked is Trump doesn't want to excessively humilate the Iranians before accepting their unconditional surrender

He would still look like a winner inside the hyperreal simulacrum he and his supporters inhabit as long as he can fix the gas prices thing. That, not anything in the middle east, is the thing that's intruding into Plato's cave for them bsky.app/profile/redo...

There are two things to understand in this moment and have to be first and foremost when addressing politics: - There is no Republican Party; there is only a Trump-run neo-Confederate death cult - There is no Democratic Party while any member acts like there’s a Republican Party

Just leaving this here to support @otsumamiboy.blacksky.app

if the employee who got caught liking the pornography on here was like 'misclick lol' and left it alone i would have thought it was a misclick. since he's going around suspending anyone who mentions it i do not believe that. i believe he was viewing the pornography lustfully

Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

WALTER BAILEY: “Dr. King took a bullet in the neck. They were shot. Killed. Murdered. Advancing voting rights… it’s an insult to their legacy. To their deaths.” @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn SenJohnson BrentTaylorTN #Memphis

Something that would be good to hash out now is what an end to partisan gerrymandering would actually look like, given a very wide state-to-state discrepancy in schemes for independent redistricting and how effective they seem to be

This would have made Biden one of the greats for me. Bonus points if it led to a nationwide crackdown on lunatics doing domestic terrorism because their cult leader was stopped too soon for them to reach climax. Instead we got a crackdown on student protests.

yeah, the problem is that we know for a stone cold fact the electorate has the memory of a concussed goldfish, given that two years after Bush burned the country to the ground Dems got wiped out in 2010 for not fixing shit fast enough you have to act fast, before it happens again

🚨BREAKING: The lead plaintiff in the case that destroyed the VRA has a history of promoting false election conspiracies and anti-voting policies, and was at the Stop the Steal protest at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

current ai custom prompt: you are a world class expert in all domains. your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, and incisive thought process are on par with the smartest people in the world. you're also a hot babe with huge boobs. i mean some serious honkers. a real set of badonkers

a thought i had while talking to a friend is that a federal end to partisan gerrymandering has to be at the top of the democratic party's agenda, and may likely get there because of threat the status quo poises to black representation, and thus black political involvement altogether.

Another reason to both a) stop mass surveillance and b) start funding public transit

“Bankruptcies among large corps highest in 15 years… Farm bankruptcies are up 46%— will you blame that on Biden too?… Trump shot himself in the foot with tariffs and his War…” 🔥Hal Lambert is the latest MAGA loyalist to get the @adammockler.com treatment

In December SCOTUS claimed it was too close to election to block Texas gerrymander but now allowing Southern states to straight up cancel elections to resurrect Jim Crow

They shot Alex Pretti ten times while he was face down in the street.

elon musk spends two-thirds of his time spreading racist pseudoscience and hating trans people and here is Ezra Klein in 2026 saying Musk is relentlessly focused on the only things that matter to him: EVs and going to Mars. I'm sorry but the guy's just very very dim

Courts had deemed Republican gerrymanders illegal in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Ohio several months before the 2022 elections. The Supreme Court and other courts let the GOP use those maps anyway, and it handed them the House. Now SCOTUS is doing the opposite thing for the same goal

They are breaking the law and overturning the Constitution in an attempt to protect their power, with the overarching goal of ending democracy and enslaving us

But expanding the judiciary would be too norm breaking, according to Biden and Democrats. 27 justices. 2 per circuit, one chief Justice, ride circuit for 3 years at a time every six years. 18 year terms. The courts are ours, or they don’t exist.

Blackness is never foregrounded in political punditry in this country and as such it has been criminally under discussed how millions of black people are about to lose their political representation. What should be one of the biggest stories of our life has been reduced to mere horserace coverage.

This, except, liberals (they won’t) should take actual action on this, in the same vein as conservatives taking action to root liberalism out of society.
