We murdered three more people in a boat today

You are not "rejecting political violence" if you don't consider policy a form of violence. I actually care less about an attempted political assassination than the stroke of a pen killing millions. Sorry, just a quirk of mine.

I am being ‘mass cancelled’ on Bluesky for getting a big watermelon stuck on my head and tripping over an anvil into a pit of mousetraps and my pants fell down

“No place for violence in a Democracy” say people you may remember recently encouraging drivers to run over protestors for being in the way

"Do you regret your heated rhetoric?" "No. Do you regret your chilled rhetoric? Do you regret sitting on the sidelines as norms fell away and so many laws were broken? Do you regret pretending like this was all normal and you alone were savvy enough to see that Both Sides Are To Blame?"

I'm perfectly fine with people not liking Hasan but can you guys stop performatively bragging about refusing to know who he is? I just don't want to hear about it.

Me: Maybe the fascists are doing what all fascists have always done throughout history Reasonable, Serious People: wow what a crackpot

Trump was found liable for rape.

The thing we're struggling with is not really that "books are bad now" (AI books excluded). It's that finding books is hard in an environment where publishing has been completely captured by corporations. I have the same issue with music. There's great music being made, but it's hard to find.

Lebanon said Sunday that 13 people have been killed and 30 more injured in the past 24 hours, Anadolu reports. The death toll from Israeli attacks in Lebanon surged to 2,509 killed and 7,755 injured since March 2, said the Lebanese Health Ministry. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260426-ove...

@mark-carney.bsky.social this is a literal war crime, one of many that Israel has committed in the light of day. You are making us complicit, and your weak assed strongly worded speeches, do not change that. By extension YOU are a war criminal.

Ever notice how many men see a woman doing something they think is risky (like traveling alone) and immediately assume she’s naive and stupid - instead of assuming she’s intentionally taking a calculated risk? They can’t imagine a woman might do something even mildly dangerous on purpose.

Brb becoming lactose intolerant

this is america. you could find yourself within 100yds of a shooting at any time, in any place. school, the grocery store, a movie theater, a block party, a public park… it happens to regular people every day. but this week we’ll get 50+ weepy op-eds because it happened to the guys who write op-eds

This was from when Charlie Kirk was shot and we were supposed to pretend gun violence was newly shocking because it affected someone who was supposed to be exempt from it. Some of our Elite Journalists are doing the same routine now.

I can't be the only one getting deja vu watching a House Republican literally running at top speed from an intruding violent reality he personally helped create

Fascism enablers out of touch with the rest of the country and world, ensconsed safely in their own bubble, are always shocked when they find out outside the bubble doesn't care about them and sees them for who they are and what they're doing.

The obvious also has to be stated that Trump intentionally created the fear space in which the secret service can no longer accurately assess threats on the president like they would in previous decades. He stokes hatred intentionally and then tries to put it down like dissent.

I want to live in a country where: - the president isn‘t a fascist - the political media don’t collaborate with fascism - political violence and mass shootings aren’t a regular occurrence - there is a democratic method to depose the head of state if they’re a corrupt, demented pedo

There will be lots of chin-stroking columns about political violence and lowering the temperature that will studiously ignore we're still talking about the guy who had a lynch mob sack the Capitol and try to kill the vice president.

Here's the initial block list of those who attended the WHCD tonight. Adding names as it becomes clear they were there.

I take a deep, deep pride in doing this job. But boy howdy does it grate when I see hundreds of elite "colleagues" crow half-heartedly about press freedom as they sit and dine off gilded plates, and then some of them yell at us for having no sympathy when the violence comes to their front door

lots of us are already threatened by this administration 24/7; we're aware of the violence and the potential for more violence. media types who wanted to kiss his ring but not be touched by the violence, that's called delusion. other random media types defending the latter are extremely clueless.

why is everybody being so shitty to the poor innocent journalists, whose presence in the Führerbunker is morally and politically neutral

If you get traumatized while voluntarily attending a leisure event run by Nazis a possible downside is a lack of sympathy.

É incrível como a um monte de norte-americanos que comenta política não tem qualquer ideia do que os EUA representam pro restante do mundo. Nada que o Piker diz é radical ou "campista", os EUA é que tá cheio de liberal deslumbrado que acredita piamente em excepcionalismo americano.

Kind of a perfect metaphor for the media and the role they've played over the last ten years

I’m far more concerned with the constant violence from politicians etc you loser

Thou shalt not dine with fascist pedophiles.

It's honestly *more* reasonable than redistricting.

We told y'all not to go to that dinner. I'm not going to entertain any "we're traumatized" BS from reporters who couldn't skip a fancy dinner with the fascist in chief. I simply don't fucking care.

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Yeah those are the real victims. Totally.

It's time once again for Bluesky's favorite game, Try Not To Have A Visit From the FBI Tomorrow!

You can't shut down fascist nerd prom!

More evidence of solar plus batteries eliminating the need for diesel generators. This is incredibly good news for the people who live in these communities. “We used to depend on diesel and lamps,” said Waldemir da Silva....“Today we have electricity 24 hours a day, without noise or smoke.”

NO ONE should show up. apple.news/A7ixXB_lURLS...

Nobody fucking cares. By showing up you failed the assignment.

We should stop calling them journalists. These are courtiers and sycophants.

They do this anyway while lying about the impact of shrink that's built into their business model and covered by insurance.

To someone like Megan, the credit care debt of a potential partner is like paying someone's tab at a local bar. It really shouldn't be a consideration at all.

I can't imagine being this obsessed with someone who gives zero shits about me Alt text:

We can't even trust Bongo Gronch anymore smh

To every single Republican who was angry & upset about Virginia and its redistricting vote yesterday, I have a simple question: "Do you support a constitutional amendment banning gerrymandering by either party nationwide?" If so, let's do it. If not, shut up.

In late March, 18-year-old Tucker Collins was on his way to completing his first year of college at the University of Southern California (USC), unaware of the life-altering events that were to come. The full story: lataco.com/usc-student-... By Lizbeth Solorzano and @shoton35mm.bsky.social

I want to acknowledge that it genuinely sucks for international authors who did not file US copyright to not be included in this suit, and I wish there were a way for that to happen.

Subway has gotten so much worse and 3 times as expensive as it should be.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: Maryland state government employees are banned from using inside information from their jobs to make money on prediction markets.
