We are looking more like Russia, every day. If you bend the knee it will get worse, even. We can't.

I love what @carterhaughschool.bsky.social has done on The Great Courses, so I'm excited to see their book - you should check them out and grab a copy! #BookSky #Fae #Fairies #Folklore

Crypto Leaders Call For Infusion Of 20 Million Dopes To Stabilize Market

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal. Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military. Pure, mindless, barbarism. www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-pet...

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call. I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

#BookSky, this is a great read - grab yourself a copy and get yourself good and creeped out.

Let Not Your Sorrow Die - @brackenmacleod.bsky.social A solid collections of stories and when they hit, they HIT. 'Back Seat', 'Pigs Don't Squeal In Tigertown' and 'A Short Madness' really stand out. Each tale does a good job balancing humanity and the monstrous. #BadHandBooks #BookSky #Horror

Well paced survey of the history of American horror. Manages to go just in depth enough to give you a good picture of how American fear has evolved. Spoilers: Americans fear women and people of color. A lot. #BookSky #Horror #History

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Finished #TheMonk by Matthew Gregory Lewis. Over the top, verbose, melodramatic and entertaining as hell. Some will find it dull, but I think it hits the sweet spot between pulpy and pretentious. #Gothic #BookSky #DontTrustNuns

THIS is how you deal with fucking nazis.

Lean & arresting, 'When I Look At the Sky..." by @stevestred.bsky.social does a lot in a few pages. #CosmicHorror w/ some real teeth. Not too extreme but definitely not going mad via vague shadow. Shows & tells with admirable restraint, while still reveling is the messier aspects of horror. #BookSky

“Anti-ICE” does not seem legitimate. You’d think “fuck ICE” or something more authentic. Just gonna say, I don’t think Kash is a reliable source

Let ABC know how you feel about their bowing to the thugs in power and cancelling Jimmy Kimmel's show: support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req...

i really hope it sticks now for any lost young buckaroos who find something interesting about a libertarian trot or similar way: these people have been fakin it the whole time. none of them actually care about free speech. they are either: 1 embarrassed conservatives or 2 dummies

Lofgren: How many times did Trump’s name appear in the Epstein files? More than 100, more than 1000? Patel: I don’t know.

At the highest stakes moment since 1860, Schumer and Jeffries are completely failing the country.

This was read at my #UnitarianUniversalist church this Sunday. It reminded my of why gathering in person with others of shared beliefs is important and invigorating, and why I started back into congregational life. www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/pier...

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

After an inauspicious start, Child's Play (2019) is much, much better than I had ever expected. #Chucky #ChildsPlay #Remakes

Rep. Veronica Escobar: "We need more people marching in the streets."

🌲✨ The UUA is launching The Woodlands, a new all-ages pilot pastoral care program for trans people & families. Each month we’ll gather online, with breakout rooms for kids & youth, adults, and caregivers. First session Sept 7! Register: https://bit.ly/4fPxDjs #TransCommunity #UU #TransJoyIsSacred

Sen. Bernie Sanders held another “Fighting Oligarchy” event in Chicago last night. There was a massive turnout. Sanders also rallied large crowds in Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin this weekend. His tour’s now been to seventeen states. More here:

“Don’t get me wrong: The MAGA base loves this so-called “crackdown.” But not because it’s making D.C. safe. They love that it’s making D.C. miserable. They appear to know the victims of this charade aren’t criminals, but ordinary people just trying to live their lives.”

Sometimes I get to thinking, and it makes me sad that people's best intentions were corrupted and weaponized. Protecting your family, loving your country, protecting innocents - these are all fine. These are natural, good, kind feelings.

bragging about being a giant pussy is integral to the conservative mindset

Suddenly, you start to realize why the Supreme Court is doing everything Trump wants. They basically got Amy Coney Barrett in line and bragged about it after she got threats. We have a mafia state that runs on stochastic Terror.

I live my church. #UU

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants. This is horrifying beyond words. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Just in from the 'Shit That Surprises Nobody' Department... www.psypost.org/trump-suppor...

“the party being led by jeffrey epsteins best friend wants to repeatedly examine your childs genitals” is a true statement

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

📚 As we mark 200 years of the American Unitarian Association, we honor Frances Ellen Watkins Harper—abolitionist, author, and Unitarian trailblazer. Her call for liberatory faith still resonates today. Read more: bit.ly/4eWuMoq #AUA200 #History #UU #UnitarianUniversalist #Faith #Anniversary

So we're all pretty much sure that Alito and Thomas are on the #Epstein list right?

Ever feel mad no one told you about a band, but you're secretly delighted you found them on your own? #BloodCeremony #OccultPsych #FluteRock #GoodShit www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHZA...

i mean a second after this moment, the dude (Trump's economy) abandons the woman (American born workers) by literally diving out of sight, so maybe it's accurate?

I have family in Barrow, Alaska. Stripping PBS of 1B in funding means that rural Native communities will lose access to critical news, weather updates, and community networking. It's devastating and dangerous.

Read and share.
