I don't think this is at all widespread or common, but there is definitely a *particular* sort of ostensibly leftist person who loathes AOC as an unprincipled sellout but is willing to carry water for a nakedly antisemitic, xenophobic oppurtunist

"Using an algorithm called my brain" from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social 's Thick immediately comes to me, even 7 years after reading that phenomenal book

Welcome to Bluesky. Here is your copy of the Communist Manifesto and a season pass to AEW Dynamite for some reason

If y’all are seriously going to ally yourself with Marjorie Taylor Fucking Green and look past all the damage she’s done and continue to think you’re building a “big tent coalition” while just handing what little you have over to one GOP reject grifter after another, I mean, best of luck, I guess.

>they wanna keep high school kids uninformed and reliant on AI to do the thinking for them. whoa, honestly hadn't thought about it this way. but of course. Data about AI in schools damaging kids' critical thinking skills may be GOOD news to fascist oligarchs. or, as the Sec of Ed says, "A-one."

We need to start calling Vince McMahon "a disgraceful small-time huckster" as much as possible.

Since @kriszellner.bsky.social barely skeets but this definitely needs to be on the Bluesky timeline:

Zenith of Dave's Turner obit: "Someone who worked with him said he was well aware of all the things McMahon said about him over the years, but he considered McMahon a disgraceful small-time huckster who he didn’t want to elevate by giving him any public attention." DISGRACEFUL SMALL-TIME HUCKSTER

Happy 226th Birthday to John Brown, the only white boy to ever truly understand the assignment

Amazon is now offering limitless photo storage!!! (So they can own your images to use for AI training. Please don’t be this gullible).

Most people don’t know this, but Lincoln’s “house divided” line came at the beginning of a speech where he outlined the conspiracy of slaveholders to contort the politics of the nation to their whims despite being a significant political and popular minority.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani drew a hard line. He signed an executive order barring ICE from NYC property — schools, hospitals, shelters, parking lots - without a judicial warrant. Sanctuary protections strengthened. Immigrant rights defended. Federal overreach blocked. NYC stood up.🙌🏼🙌🏼

The argument was careless too. This justification works as well for Pablo Escobar as for Stuart Weitzman.

I totally understood the press sanewashing this shit but I was honestly shocked how many people not getting paid to glaze Trump didn't heed this warning seriously.

Ah, fuck. "two New Jersey residents were potentially exposed to a person infected with hantavirus after this person departed from the cruise ship MV Hondius. The New Jersey residents were not passengers on the cruise ship, and the potential exposure occurred during air travel abroad."

Justin Jones. Your name will be in history books.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

ICYMI: We obtained the grand jury testimony of Rudy Giuliani, Lindsey Graham, Brian Kemp, Brad Ratffensperger, Cassidy Hutchinson, Marc Short, Greg Jacob, Boris Epshteyn, Michael Flynn, Chris Carr, Lin Wood, Mark Meadows, Cleta Mitchell, and more. You can read & search the transcripts on our site👇

Pete Buttigieg took a brief leave when his son was in the ICU and Republicans still attack him for it to this day. But Duffy goes on an extended vacation to shoot a reality show while there are all sorts of pressing problems with air travel and Fox News thinks it's awesome. Beyond parody.

I'll continue to scream this; if you want to advance women's rights, or trans rights, or economic injustice, or basically any issue you can think of, you HAVE to address the racism of this country. you have to DEMAND it be addressed and talked about. EVERY ISSUE flows from racism against Black folks

Yup. US Black voters care about other people. ♥️👍🏿 A higher percent of Black *men* voters support women's reproductive rights, than white *women* voters. 🙂🙃 A higher percent of Black voters oppose ICE, than Hispanic voters. 🙂🙃 The fact that the support is not always reciprocated, is irrelevant.

There it is

Absolutely outrageous Virginia Supreme Court invalidated redistricting referendum approved by the voters when voters haven’t been able to weigh in on a single gerrymander passed in red states

Not true. There are many reasons why we got here. People not voting is one of them. Not even the most important one. This pedestrian analysis needs to stop. The number one reason we got here, above all, is racism. Until we contend with that we won’t even understand voter disenfranchisement.

AI actually helped me get over my fear of making bad art bc at least if it sucks i still actually made it

Someone help me crowdfund a billboard with this on it.

People here love books but I also think it’s true that they don’t organically *discuss* books they love here as much as on other platforms like Bookstagram, Book Threads, and Book Tok. It’s good for those of us who have followings to make our followers aware but that’s not a whole book culture.

I am begging a democrat to run for president saying word for word “these people are fucking freaks and my cabinet will be made up of normal fucking people”

If anyone is interested in buying masks that aren't black or white, there are a bunch of online shops that sell KN95s/ 94s in a variety of hues. Are they as good as 3M auras? No. Have they kept me healthy for the past few years? Yes. planetofkind.com shopvida.com www.everythirty.com (on sale now!)

Half of what got us here was platforming bad faith abusive racists over Black people Now we have no real non Black media to speak of that actually wants to grapple with that In an “engagement” economy fighting them gives them preference STARVE THEM

The ascendancy of the “white moderate” to the place of eminent reasonableness in discourse&politics was always going to lead here, as King told us plainly in 1963. We’ll just keep walking this road until we decide to unmake white supremacy - even the polite kind.

There are many stereotypes abt Black ppl. Most of them negative. But the ultimate truth about our legacy is simple. The legacy of the African American is that we won rights for every demographic. Every domino that fell, it began with Black liberation struggles. Freedom of movement? We gave you that.

They're not even trying to pretend at all. Good lord.

here's the 5th page of the prologue. it made me tear up that in a book about HER — Liza Minelli!!! — one of the first things she wanted to say was that you can get help if you're struggling with addiction, and then started cackling at the idea of getting a rehab referral from Liza Minelli's website

Me, a descendant of Naples who has opinions about Chicago pizza: Husband, a Ukrainian who has no such adherence to food tradition: Me: Husband: How do you think the Pope asks for his pizza when he's in Italy? Me:

I administer my final exam for my undergrads using the Canvas platform. Most of my students took my exam yesterday, but two of my students were literally typing their answers into Canvas when this happened....

For further context, and in contrast to what the IHE article from yesterday stated, the hack is very much still ongoing (it appears that Instructure tried to fix the Canvas breach, but the hackers got around the patches again today). www.thedp.com/article/2026...

and yes, a respected colleague calculated the intensity of the on-stage storm because that’s what heroes do.

Today, we published 61 transcripts and excerpts of testimony heard by the Fulton County special purpose grand jury. The transcripts include the never-before-seen testimony of prominent Trump allies, including Rudy Giuliani, Lindsey Graham, and Cleta Mitchell. bsky.app/profile/anna...

Important to remember that Roberts — and Thomas, and Alito — were all appointed by presidents from the supposedly moderate and responsible wing of the Republican Party.

I'm not SURPRISED, but.... Great work by Brandon.

A sizeable group of voters simply want an asshole as President. There is no point in trying to cater to them, you can either ignore them or discourage them from voting. Every effort to get their vote by adopting asshole-ish policies is a waste, they want the real thing.

We are to believe that the 328 House members and 79 senators that voted for the VRA in 1965 and the 98 senators and 390 congresspersons that reauthorized it in 2006 are idiots and partisan, and John Roberts, the constitutional saint, isn't. What an arrogant prick

Around 3:40am a massive short position in Oil Futures was placed An hour or so later: an Axios report on a potential US-Iran deal to end their conflict. This is, yet again, The US Treasury manipulating the Oil Market via intervention + headline. There is no deal. This is fraud.

My mom used to date a cop and she had to go to so. many. funerals for cops that died of cancer, respiratory failure, suicide. My aunt is engaged to a construction worker who helped clean up the WTC site and lost a lung because of the shit he inhaled. And they FOUGHT for coverage. Fuck Giuliani.
