here's my proposed platform for dems in 2026: 1. we do not throw trans people under the bus 2. we do not throw red states under the bus 3. WE DO NOT THROW ANYBODY UNDER THE FUCKIN BUS WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU 4. war crimes tribunals

Paul Kagame is genuinely one of the most evil people of the 21st century and a lot of people don't realize it because they don't take Africa seriously

Credit where it's due, first Democratic senator I've seen talk about it.

I have a hard time watching old movies and tv shows but the Twilight Zone absolutely zips by and is fun as hell because they essentially do what a show on Apple TV takes two seasons to accomplish in a half hour

It happened again

Ignore the clowns who come on here periodically to say Bluesky's irrelevant. Just this week I saw @katelynburns.com @ziibiing.com and @posters-madness.bsky.social raise tens of thousands of dollars for mutual aid for trans people and immigrants through this website for dorks.

i do not believe for one moment anyone on bluesky can do this. you are all over 35. it's not even the alcohol or the running, you simply do not have the digestive tract for this anymore. beer gives you a headache. if you eat onions you get bloated. you have acid reflux twice a week

i actually think this is the wrong way to think about the direction this is going. fox news is the default channel in many public spaces — most troublingly, us military bases, has been for decades. this was not a matter of policy afaik, it just slid into place. it's not hard to lock it in as policy.

Everybody is really sleeping on the “Oracle gets destroyed by openai and data center debt” as a possibility

Hey, remember that embarrassing thing we told you about the laser and the balloon? Yeah? Well, we did something even more embarrassing this time. Whoops.

As HHS head, RFK Jr. overhauled an advisory committee by adding people who promote discredited therapies for autism — including chelation, usually used to treat for toxic levels of metals. In 2005, a 5-year-old died after a chelation session.

I remember in 2016, Elijah Cummings saying that there was a larger, more horrific story behind Trump's election. He went on to pursue avenues of investigation that would have led to Epstein: Black Cube, Deutsche Bank, Sater and Michael Cohen, etc. All investigations dropped after his 2019 death.

that Ben Ryan guy has spent 3 straight days posting screenshots of bluesky posts saying like "I hope Jesse Singal runs into the side of a mountain with a tunnel painted on it like Wile E. Coyote" and claiming they are real threats while Nazis openly discuss trans elimination in his replies

this is the best website that sucks

Just got a message from South High saying “We currently have requests totaling $33,965 for rent and we have $7500 available tomorrow. Please try to share the gofundme widely! Thanks” Well, that simply will not do. I'll match the first $900. Please help my fellow South High families if you can! 🖤🧡🖤

almost like being a terf is some sort of red flag.

There are far too many cyclists who think that if they're just really good boys and girls on their bike that drivers won't kill them. And that is because they are all victims of an abusive system of car dependency.

SCOOP: Noem's DHS has acquired at least NINE new jets in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets. gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noems-luxury...

I thought this was a joke about how poorly Brady Tkachuk handled the last few days but no this is actually just a fully accurate description of what he just did in a hockey game that’s happening right now

I *definitely* picked the right seat on the plane 😍😍😍

i may be biased, but this is correct.

the idea that you could magaify warner bros and have it be successful is wrong, but it’s extremely funny when you consider that the earliest they could do it would be, like, 2027-2028

i'm a big fan of magazines, investigative reporting, and longform, all of which requires staff and institutions, but the really really dire thing that indie media can't replace? the fucking wire services

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

(1) Casey Means is a dreadful nominee and should not be confirmed. (2) I don't have any desire to defend for-profit advertising of any kind. (3) "Obesity is a national crisis" as a message both relies on and perpetuates bias against fat people.

I would say one of the main right-wing projects of the past twenty years has been gaming every web 2.0 platform into thinking the right-wing is much bigger and more influential than it actually is. And the people who have been most taken in by this effort has been the right wing

It is completely reasonable to email your dean and/or Provost to ask what is being done at your university to stop this from happening to your students

Next president will have to rebuild the federal government while fighting a cadre of insane billionaires the whole way. The more bleak things get the more absurd it seems to consider electing some common weasel who wants to be president because he wants to be president

Columbia President with NEW details: 5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant. They said they were police looking for a missing kid. Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid." A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss. They ignored him & took the student.

There's a "is anyone even reading this" sort of honesty you get in the software update release notes from a project that's been around for a long time.

The best thing you can do in light of the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers invest your time, energy, and money in supporting independent creators and independent distribution networks and independent venues. It is absolutely crucial to make independence a viable option.

These Democrats are voting for Trump's agenda while going on TV to insist they actually oppose it. We need to believe their actions, not their words.

Just learned The New Yorker is putting the full force of its name and brand behind public relations for one of the most vicious hatemongers in the US:

…the united states is neither a small central european country with a relatively closed media ecosystem nor is it a formerly authoritarian state with a starkly underdeveloped civil society. even during the heyday of hegemonic mass media…

the consolidation of major media institutions by the president’s oligarch friends is obviously bad, but i do wonder about the ultimate impact. it is clear that trump and his allies believe that you can buy up media and pull an orban or a putin. but…

almost every american ive ever met who has moved here is simply floored by the difference. It's in the places you expect--like healthcare--but also countless ones you don't, like the quality of roads, transport and maybe most important of all, public spaces.

the ellisons are building the most powerful media empire in 1993

If this was true then I’d love to know why Tulsi Gabbard dismantled the foreign malign influence center last August, which was tasked with stopping foreign interference in our elections

Mamdani getting a kidnapped kid released from ICE in less than a day kinda lays bare the full depravity of the Democrats' "we can't just DO things" mentality for the last year.

You think Tapper sucks now. Just wait until he’s trying to save his job at new Fox.

Mainstream reporters are desperate not to cover what's happening to trans ppl in the US. The narrative was activists got a little too uppity and some mild hand smacking was needed to put them in their place. The reality of a genocidal campaign of terror against a vulnerable 1% makes them look bad.

less of a dogwhistle in how he posted this on ecks and more of a fucknig foghorn

Hillary Clinton: "It then got quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and Pizzagate"

I can't emphasize enough that the idea of a Paramount-WB merger producing 30-40 movies a year is an absurd fiction. First WB will become the "classy" label within Par (which is only about Rescue Rangers, Scream and existing IP). Then it will become the specialty or streaming label. Then it will die.

As someone who has (unfortunately) been elbow-deep in Epstein's emails, I can tell you: "Jewish in-group bonds" was not the "currency" Epstein used to facilitate his crimes. It was power, $$, and a deep-seated hatred of women. Any insinuation otherwise is weird. jewishcurrents.org/the-line-bet...

Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

I'll be honest with you. I see stuff like Platner QTing a holocaust denier and Ana aggressively posting "goyim are waking up," and I try to spin it into something satirical and humorous, but I think of the lovely and vulnerable, completely innocent Jews of this country, and I'm filled with terror.

CHRIST this was a bitch to alt text (my phone camera is allergic to this font) but it was worth it so we could enjoy this scorching hot Catholic tea together they just flat out said the SCOTUS Catholics are going to hell. which we knew, but maybe they’ll hear it from the bishops!

OH NO THEY'RE GONNA DESTROY CNN You mean the "news" network that integrated an online political gambling site into their programs and turned every segment into Crossfire? Oh fuck. How will we ever recover
