My husband just texted me there's a downhill skier called Breezy Johnson in the same year that the ski jumpers are in trouble for letting out the crotches of their suits and this cannot be true?!

I am seeing a ton of this in the last two days specifically. Convinced it's an op

"Rationalism" is just our era's "General Semantics"

My “We can unequivocally confirm that His Holiness has never met Jeffrey Epstein or authorised any meeting or interaction with him by anyone on His Holiness's behalf” press release is generating a lot of questions already answered by my press release.

Some of you really need to relax.

I just stumbled across this and thought some of you might like to see it. A letter from E.B. White to a man who'd written he'd lost all hope:

Also "into silence", not "in the silence" Istg reporters keep not ever thinking about what people say after they say it

Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees. "This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Trump's DOJ tells the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office to block investigations into ICE shootings and prosecute Don Lemon instead ... Joseph Thompson *quits Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office and *represents Don Lemon instead good shit

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Read @andreapitzer.bsky.social: "what we’re witnessing is the express repetition of a project on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, and Chinese labor camps in the People’s Republic of China."

star wars isn’t good the things star wars makes your imagination do to make star wars appear good are good

I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local government thugs stop, harass priests, cardinal intervenes”

What Dems should take away from this: When you take a cowardly centrist position on genocide, you lose. There are people who want to do genocide and people who want to stop it. And neither side thinks somewhere in the middle is a "reasonable" position.

it's crazy how some people can lose elections to people to the left of them and concede and offer intraparty support like a normal person

So, AIPAC: -Went after a moderate for being mildly critical of Israel, while -Backing a candidate who came in a distant third, thus -Paving the way for a socialist who wants to fully divest, and -Turning the moderate into the biggest "fuck AIPAC" guy

Their Komsomol.

Oh yeah. I had a calc professor tell me I wasn’t smart enough to be in his class when I asked for pretty standard (these days) accommodations during tests. I got so mad I aced the final which was 70% of the class after not showing up once more after that.

I have very little patience also for people who express scorn for this kind of feeling of betrayal It’s not an unhealthy way to feel. We should expect and demand more and we should be outraged and disgusted by outrageous and disgusting behavior

ROBO WAITRESS ASSASSINS Hudson Theater in LA APRIL 5, 1:30 pm SAVE THAT DATE! Also if you’re -IN LA- and a trans guy (or are any flavor of trans/nonbinary and are cool playing guys), we def need more auditions! (there’s roles for trans ladies too!) hit the link! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Congresswoman @ramirez.house.gov: " Congress designed DHS [Department of Homeland Security] to violate our rights under the pretense of securing our safety." " DHS cannot be reformed. It must be dismantled, and something new must take its place"

somebody suggested I'm in denial. so here's what I mean by this

NEW: A newly updated reference manual for U.S. judges that provides answers to scientific and technical questions has eliminated some 90 pages about climate science. It comes as numerous climate cases make their way through state and federal courts.

That Super Bowl Ring ad backfired spectacularly.

"Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermobaric weapons, often referred to as vacuum or aerosol bombs, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius [6,332 degrees Fahrenheit]."

What are we doing?

If in Novemeber you are complaining about who gets elected you need to show me your call sheet for your phone banking for a candidate or something because gotdamn this is your chance to run someone to the left and if you don't do shit you deserve what you get.

i am not a lawyer, but every time i see a former prosecutor talk about this DOJ, they talk about how something like this would have been the end of your job (and maybe your career) in every single DOJ before this one, and it wouldn't matter if a republican or democrat were president

Hey fellow bad brain havers. Reminder that everyone does NOT secretly hate you, they are too busy for that.

Alert: Congress is reviewing a bill that will ban #InstantRunoffVoting. Contact your Congress people now to tell them to reject the MEGA Act: fairvoteaction.quorum.us/campaign/Sto... #RankedChoiceVoting #MoreChoiceMoreVoice

"audit logs from six Texas school districts show campus camera feeds are captured in a national database that police agencies across the country can access."

The hugely popular "Killology" -- yes, really -- training materials used by many law enforcement agencies tells cops you'll never fuck your wife better than the night after you kill someone.

I expect he is, but he's bound to know someone who isn't

this is the funniest chorus to sing over chugging blues rock in 1975

Something compelled me to make this

Honestly, it has to be a weird time to be a figure in pop culture due the president being Literally The Worst. Like, Elmo can say sharing is good and somebody in his X mentions will say “Elmo, you rotten son of a bitch. This goes against everything President Trump stands for.” And that’s not wrong.

This can be the site for breaking news, if journalists choose to break news on it. It is as simple as that. And that is not utopian. It is precisely what has happened the last week or so. If you weren't on BlueSky, you were late to each development.

New in PN: The death of the CIA Factbook and Trump's war on usefulness "There’s nothing partisan about the CIA World Factbook, so it’s hard to imagine how allowing people to use it could impede the MAGA agenda. Unless, that is, you realize the Factbook had to go *precisely because it was useful.*"

{whispering} people convicted of violent crimes also do not deserve to live in these conditions

if you aren't familiar with LifeTouch, the company took every school picture of mine from probably 2nd grade on

h... how much poison is supposed to be in baby food?

I hate to say this but I think things are just going to keep getting increasingly chaotic and morally shocking before this tidal wave of sadism finally recedes Its important to identify for yourself what moral injury (as witnesses & those coerced) feels like and how to recognize its after effects

If y'all thought I was kidding about how bad this would get. Age verification should not be required to access sites on the internet. This will and has lead to censorship. It isn't about porn at all. It's about Freedom of Speech.
