What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

It's about time... a very welcome piece!

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I love it when local reporters break national news. #Epsteinfiles

America 2025. Please Don’t Offend The White Supremacists

Oh, Apple...

Oh, F....

The greatest innovation billionaires have come up with is they found a way to have billions of dollars and still be miserable and angry all the time

lmao. see, people hate on "defund the police" because both political parties dragged it, but they still support what it actually means

Kid prevents a school shooting, gets punished for it. Absolute madness. He could not have reacted in a more ideal way to this situation.

Using military plane flights to traffic kidnapped people to Africa inevitably costs an absurd amount of money. They're determined to trample human rights & spend the American people into collective debt & poverty to promote their white supremacist vision for America.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

"Give us all your data and we we'll give you GOD!"

Palestinian writer Refaat Alareer’s poem “If I Must Die” has echoed across the world since his killing—translated by volunteers into dozens of languages. We share it here in English & Arabic. inthesetimes.com/article/refa...

New: For @msnbc.com I wrote abt Trump’s absurd EO declaring antifa a “domestic terror org” I trace history of MAGA manufacturing antifa bogeyman to both distract from v real far right violence, & to create a pretext for vigilantes & police to target the wider left www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

This is new -> the vast majority of media coverage of Trump's ridiculous Tylenol/Autism claims I have seen ranges from dubious to incredulous to mocking.

"To create the batteries we need to keep the whole world's lights on when the sun goes down and the wind stops blowing, we will need to extract *one seventeenth* of the amount of minerals we burn *every year* in the fossil fuel system" pluralistic.net/2025/09/23/o...

Very likely.

An entire generation is flushing its brains down the toilet.

Cory Doctorow isn't on Bsky, but you can read his extremely uplifting essay on Bill Mckibben's new book here, concerning the astounding takeoff of the global solar economy. pluralistic.net/2025/09/23/o...

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

GOPedo

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

Is re-posting this terrorism? Ruh roh.

A statement of fact for Tuesday, Sept 23, 2025. There is absolutely no link between Tylenol and Autism; however, there is an absolute link between Trump and Epstein. ✊💙

HE JUST SAYS IT!

the problem with making conspiratorial anti-science crackpots a cornerstone of your fragile fake populist coalition is they're conspiratorial anti-science crackpots

This has aged like a truckload of frozen hot dogs after the A/C unit broke down in 105 degree Texas heat.

"There's a rumor - and I don't know if it's true or not - that Cuba, they don't have paper money or coins so they use giant beaver tails and carved stone wheels to pay for things. But who knows."

In 1835 came a rumor, which president Jackson did not recirculate, that scientists had spotted humanoid creatures with bat wings flying around on the moon.

"So much liquid. That baby's gonna pop. Ever see a baby explode? It's horrible like you've never seen."

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

I feel similar to the way I felt when GW Bush was "elected" [selected by SCOTUS, in the bizarre Bush v. Gore decision, that is] in 2000 & then came the 9-11 terrorist attacks -> so action to address global warming got pushed off into the indefinite future. And now it's the same, or worse.

A healthy adult diet should include 16 ounces of lard daily. This is based on what I feel.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

Remember "The Rapture"? How did many Christians come to believe in this doctrine? Worker discontent at the brutality of the early industrial revolution (not to mention "The Clearances" in Scotland) led industrialists to fund the "Rapture" theology b/c it made Christians politically passive.

Want some simple ways to resist fascism? Wear a mask. Donate to mutual aid. Go to a local library. Support community fridges and food banks. Plant a garden. Deliver groceries. Provide a ride to and from doctors appts. Participate in neighbourhood ICE watch. Show up for others.

Hi, I served in Afghanistan: this is an obscenity and a perversion against both Christianity and America. Fuck this shit forever. Thanks.

Alert

Unnerving point from @bcfinucane.bsky.social: The White House appears to be quietly trying to get Republicans to formally turn over a large swath of Congress's warmaking powers to Trump. That's what this new draft bill would do. From our pod discussion: newrepublic.com/article/2007...

The rise of the "snitch state".

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

"By the end of the year, we aim to have 200 percent more dipshits writing columns for us. As long as you are a Ben Shapiro knockoff who can string together the words 'the intolerant left' and occasionally criticize Trump, you have a home here on our opinion pages."

“What fascisms old and new have in common is they tend to look to women to fill in the gaps that the state misses." And, I'd add, they get women to fill these gaps by making patriarchy's coattails the only way means by which women can achieve security or esteem. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Oh my. Lookit.
