The obvious answer here is that the student protest movement was broadly smeared as anti-semitic and aligned with terrorists, and a variety of institutions from government, media and the universities acted as if that smear was true, threatening, suspending, expelling and even deporting students.

Difficult to describe how unusual it is for @icrc.org to speak publicly like this. "Heavy explosive weapons with wide-area effects struck densely populated urban areas, including the capital Beirut, without effective advance warnings." ICRC Outraged by Deadly Strikes in Densely Populated Areas

democrats are ofc once again failing to distinguish how they have a different approach than trump. they come across like they agree with the goals, just not the methods of trump that have now demonstrably failed.

didn't JD kill the last one?

Did…the Trump regime lowkey threaten to kill the pope?

Again, you don't have to like Hasan. You can think he sucks. You can think he's said some outrageous things. You can view him as a net negative. Whatever. But you really don't get to be CNN and make shit up like that. Insane.

Dear god. CNN just ran another segment being all upset about Hasan Piker. This one falsely claims that he "excused sexual violence by Hamas terrorists." What? No, he didn't.

The faces of those young girls...reminiscent of Beatles fans in the 60s. Moved. Shook. Overcome by a pressure wave of rizz. Even Trump was transformed by it.

this is the ceasefire agreement that trump agreed to, which to me looks like an insane strategic defeat for the US

Just because he backed off shouldn’t stop efforts to remove him. He is dangerous and cannot be left in power.

SKY NEWS: “We know the 🇺🇸 President has seen this statement and is considering it” Seems like we’re all just gonna pretend Pakistan’s PM didn’t already show us the White House wrote it for them then delete and re-post cool cool

Two hours left to live, what are you guys listening to?

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

"If you remove him you get Vance." You're familiar with Donald J Trump's foreign policy where we remove a country's leaders one by one until we get to one we can do business with? No reason impeachment can't work the same way

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

Trump is threatening mass death in Iran if he doesn’t get his way. He has spiraled out of control—and Congress has the power to stop him and end this war. Every Republican lawmaker who refuses to speak out, ducks a question, or votes to continue this war bears responsibility.

What the hell—Despite suddenly losing 1.6 million bee colonies to a mass die off in the U.S. in a year, Trump WH is instead planning to close the USDA’s premier bee 🐝laboratory, worrying beekeepers, scientists and farmers. nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news...

Wild video from last year. In a ranked-choice election with the following names, here's how The Bulwark's Sarah Longwell would vote: 1. Andrew Cuomo 2. Ted Cruz 3. Zohran Mamdani 4. Tucker Carlson

This publication is comprised of a bunch of people who made their careers advocating cutting social welfare and bombing brown people

Good thing Congress has inherent contempt powers.

There's this absolutely crazy guy who copies media figures on his emails that are all off-the-wall racist as fuck and man alive it just seems so ungodly miserable to live this way. Just a raging, burning cancer of the soul.

Trump is losing his most dedicated cult members.

These people are plain fucking stupid.

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

I think we're looking at gas lines in the very near future. There's no floor now. No safety net. The public seems to think that of course this will just evaporate and the President will come to his senses but they still think Biden was President in April of 2020.

Legitimately reports the news more clearly and accurately than the New York Times

The pope is tweeting like a wide receiver. cc: @dennycarter.bsky.social

You can really tell America is winning this war when the president panic posts “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” at 5 am on Easter Sunday along with an extension on their deadline

I think the opposition party widely expected to make historic gains in the next election(s) has an obligation to explain how they'll stop this and prevent it from happening again or it's reasonable to conclude they don't plan on doing those things, which raises more uncomfortable questions

I’m confused… bsky.app/profile/acyn...

The NYT literally rewrote Trump saying “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell” as: “Mr. Trump issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz”

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

Jake Tapper doing the bare minimum in reading out Donald Trump’s unglued Easter post on air deserves precisely zero praise. Bro wrote a book on Biden and won’t say anything about Donald Trump losing alllll his marbles. Tapper can get bent.

Still got 3 days left though.

I think my newsletter for tomorrow is going to be about stuff like this. If you come across a news article/story/TV segment that don't do a good job of putting his statement in context, please drop links/screenshots in my replies here. Thanks.

An Easter message from the president which should really force the VP and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

I know it's your job to reply to this and say you're a real person with a real life and real experiences, but shit like this and the current state of things has me fully convinced I took melatonin and I'm stuck in a dream I can't get out of. Just outstanding stuff my unconscious is cooking up for me

Sir, a second bird is at the feeder

We told you.

The US is a literal police state.

i dunno, i dont want to say that *every* time the “bluesky is mean” discourse starts its from a straight white dude because its probably not…but it sure does seem that way

i dont want to downplay social media harassment or anything but also if you think harassment is bad on here you should take a scroll through ilhan omars replies on literally any other social media app

Israel and the US have bombed the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran four times so far, according to the foreign minister of Iran:

To compare Hasan Piker to right wing nutballs like Fuentes is CRAZY. When I have listened to Piker he doesn't talk about killing people, rounding people up, or hating PEOPLE he has been clear about being against tyranny in Gaza, Cuba, Lebanon. He supports people over Regimes.

As a Bulwark listener and a Hasan watcher, Sarah could not be more wrong in this entire conversation, similarly to her Mamdani comments. A lot of your audience has wide tent views. This reaction from Hasan pretty much sums it up.

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.
