Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

In my professional opinion 'lewd conduct' laws are about actual dicks, not inflatable dicks

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Portland ICE facility now.

This is a fascinating little snippet. His politics are to the right of Attila the Hun, but he's a real New Yorker. Which is one of the thousand reasons he hates Cuomo.

Stephen Miller: you make that video of trump like I asked? The one projecting dignity and power with the threatening muscular fist of our armed forces against our many enemies? Aide: yeah boss, real fucking gross and full of diarrhea just like you asked

Well I was not expecting BILL NIGHY to be spitting facts today! observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

man i know you're pushing back against right-wing propaganda, but it's still weird to be THAT proud of how peaceful/lawful/patriotic your protest was, bc that's not something *you* get to decide to be, unilaterally! that's something the state decides you get to be (until it doesn't)!

Trump posting a video of himself dropping a huge shit on America is probably the most accurate public statement he has ever made.

If you had any doubt that we are back in the mid 20th century again the Louvre was just robbed

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970 The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23 They constantly let America down

so here’s the thing, Bari, you’re running an organization full of weapons-grade gossips who hate you www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/b...

there are so many things one can do with one's life on a nice fall day, and to be filmed like that explains the photographs of white Americans angrily protesting the integration of public schools, or the videos of them proudly invading the Capital on January 6 and thinking they did nothing wrong

the video of the MAGA guy shouting slurs at No Kings protestors and then eating the pavement twice, explains how some people still think they would win a fight against a bear

It's incredibly telling that student newsrooms have shown more bravery in the past few years than many national outlets

It's amazing that these guys don't recognize that being an aggro asshole when surrounded by literally hundreds of people who hate them is risky behavior.

The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.

the crowd sizes are obviously the highlight here but the fact that *this* is the public statement of the NYPD does not bode well for the regime. or, put another way: I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

there were people saying this is where everything was headed way back in 2020 and they were scoffed at and ignored and sidelined by the dem party. and if you ask me, maybe the people who did the scoffing should be less influential in the party going forward. just imo

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted. It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed. The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.

NEW: From the wholesale gutting of federal agencies to the ongoing government shutdown, Russ Vought has drawn the road map for Trump’s second term. Vought has consolidated power to an extent that insiders say they feel like “he is the commander in chief.” @andykroll.bsky.social w/ @newyorker.com

If you're Black or Brown, prioritize your safety because the state won't.

the US government has arrived on bluesky

If anyone ever asks, "why don't people immigrate to the US the right way?", it's worth noting I was just quoted $14,460 for an O-1 visa application with premium processing. My first O-1 application, without premium processing, was $6,160 in 2018.

He’s not wrong in the sense that online gaming is a recruitment zone for the far right and fascists. Chats are full of racism, misogyny, and Nazi references. Perfect for…well, this kind of person.

utterly depressing that Nixon-level scandals are now a normal Friday night news drop, barely remarked upon, just another day in Trump’s America

this shit is so embarrassing. the government used to have guys who like, built bridges. now it’s just a gaggle of bleary-eyed cave children jacking themselves off to porno deepfakes of AOC while posting “based meme edits” of reaper drone strikes on venezuelan children. quit gooning and fix a pothole

I mean Louis XVI didn’t ask to be a king either, but he was one

Trump can’t be appeased. Anyone who agrees to his deranged requests eventually learns that they will just be asked for more until they reach a breaking point and are then discarded. Only completely amoral sycophants like Steven Miller can hang on.

“I know I make people feel uncomfortable! That’s my entire brand.” Climate Defiance interrupting a Cuomo presser in the best possible way.

This amuses me so much . Because it’s taking the assignment absolutely seriously while mocking ICE

Everyone on Bluesky tonight

HHS has decided to join Bluesky after RFK Jr heard people make shitposts here and he wanted to know if he could swim in them

Daily reminder that USAID recorded zero (0) incidents of Hamas looting humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, the Israel-backed former ISIS drug smuggling gang of Yasser Abu Shabab was allowed to camp out just beyond the gates of the Karem abu Salem crossing and loot trucks in sight of IDF troops.

so they murdered people and now they've kidnapped the people who made it out?

"You're saying that smoking is bad because you haven't sufficiently invested in doing it..."

Telling people who are against plundering the environment, theft, plagiarism and labor exploitation that they are doing this complaining because they haven't "invested" in using tools based on such exploitation is quite ridiculous isn't it?

I do regret to inform you that the official US Department of Labor bsky account is in fact now posting extremely racist very Nazi looking genAI slop

He's calling for Massie to the thrown out of Congress. Come on now. That's about Epstein.

we are absolutely screwed

genuinely wild the number of quote tweets that see this as an insult toward mamdani rather than as praise for his discipline and skill at translating personal charisma into political appeal
