A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission) Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

and if you think he's going to willingly leave his newly renovated manse Jan 20 2029.... This demolition is a statement of *ownership*

you'd think nine months in reality would have set in but i still can't believe people fucking voted for this

In Boston, every day is No Kings Day

Feels like, between .. 1. “No Kings” rally 2. Benioff apologizing 3. Young Republicans getting suspended 4. Universities rejecting White House “contracts” .. authoritarianism got something of a margin call this week.

Those Epstein files must be bad. #KY04

Put a banner on every closed rural hospital WE SAVED ARGENTINA INSTEAD

I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.

Here's a neat trick they teach in authoritarianism school: If you purge the people who measure the effects of your policies (BLS, MMWR), you can just claim everything's great, and nobody can prove how much damage you're doing.

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE “Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Not sure who needs to hear this but your “physical” isn’t “annual” if you need it twice in six months.

This, 100%.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

seeing otherwise smart people share the story that a south carolina judge’s beach house was burned to the ground because of a ruling against trump despite there being no evidence of that has been frustrating. just because the other side has abandoned facts doesn’t mean we can, too.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

If I lived in her district, that would lock in my vote for her.

Do the ska elders know Fishbone was just on KEXP? @brooklynmarie.bsky.social @mmasnick.bsky.social "You're not a Proud Boy, you're just a fuckboy drinking the Kool-Aid of a mad orange king."

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well. youtu.be/Dt4mrxNWQWs?...

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

In light of today’s absolutely fucking deranged “I’m in a war movie” speeches by Trump and Hegseth, I give you the plaque at West Point.

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

Bingo

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting. abcnews.go.com/US/1-week-af...

FUN FACT: Autism was first diagnosed at least 40 years before Tylenol was created.

He nailed that one.

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

He’s sincerely the dumbest man to ever occupy the office.

I know we clown strongly worded statements but every medical professional in the US needs to issue one by tomorrow morning saying "we're not following the bullshit guidance of a lifelong antivax activist & his senile boss"

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. . Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

Just hilariously sloppy. He'll lie and pretend it was meant to be public, but he would NEVER post "it's killing our reputation and credibility."

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

“97% of the stories about Jeffrey Dahmer were bad, that’s not free speech”

you can immediately clock WKRP fans just by seeing whose face lights up with these 10 little words: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

100% correct.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Seeing lots of people talking about canceling their Disney+ subscriptions. If you happen to have some extra money around that used to go to Mickey Mouse... small indie media sites like mine could always use some assistance. Especially these days. www.techdirt.com/support/

I encourage you to subscribe. It’s worth every penny.
