"there's no new information in this report so it's not news" say the same news media who plastered front pages with "duplicate hillary emails found on laptop" like it was a nuclear-level scandal a week before the 2016 election

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Based on their public comments, NYT leaders view the kind of insider details discovered by Haberman and others as essential to understanding Trump. I don't think that's correct. Public documents (Project 2025) and events (Jan 6, DOGE) to me describe this presidency better than insider accounts.

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

They started on illegal immigrants, expanded it to legal immigrants, now are going after naturalized citizens. If you are not one of those groups, you are just somewhere further down the chain, but they will get to eliminating your rights eventually too.

"this'll make everyone angry, but . . ." man, either say it or don't

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

San Diego is not expendable. Our lives are not bargaining chips. The President’s words were reckless, dangerous, and a betrayal of the people he swore to protect. I love this city, and I will never stay quiet when someone treats our families, neighbors, and communities like they are disposable.

If you're in these states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check! And there's a lot happening across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

"Nor'easter" has got to be the black sheep of the contraction family. Doesn't even save a syllable.

"transgender ideology" is a phrase that should be treated with the same revulsion as "woke mind virus"

Me: I’d like a slice of pizza Server: that comes with three sides Me: I know what shape it is

Nobody has eyebrows anymore they’ve been raised way off the top of everyone’s head come on we gotta stop using this weird ass language to describe people committing murder and shit

Once again observing that the awed reverance that our society's elites supposedly had for Supporting The Troops when that was being used to bolster support for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was complete bullshit. Trump shits all over dead troops and they celebrate him. It was all a huge joke to them.

The content of the "controversial" tweets was "9/11 was bad, and the invasions led by the US after 9/11 were also bad." In other words, two positions that are not merely anodyne but overwhelmingly majoritarian. CBS is a disgraceful propaganda operation

I went to the Vernon Cadet Training Centre as a kid. I also know the woman on the right. we volunteered with kids together, she is a model citizen. this shit is sickening.

so according to the CDC, *foodborne illness* is responsible for about 930 deaths a year. "food-induced illness" is a made up term RFK is using for basically every cause of mortality minus suicide.

these people really want to make "racist" akin to a slur rather than what it is, a straightforward label for a set of beliefs and views. if you don't like the label because you, correctly, associate it with degenerate chuds, then get better beliefs

the news media understood perfectly that stuff like this was what was actually at stake in the 2024 election and told voters instead that the larger issue was that it was a scandal that Tim Walz retired after 21 years in the national guard

Also - please join me if you will in flooding Bluesky with Canadian culture. Music, art, film, TV. Let’s show the vibrancy of this place I’m proud to call home.

A college buddy asked me about my transition from a racism-is-bad liberal in the 1990s to a much more left lefty today lol. Found myself talking about police violence, the horrific attacks on trans people, and the role of billionaires in making so many things worse. No one gets left behind.

Every few months people are like “Is BlueSky dying” and every few months it doesn’t fucking matter because who gives a shit

My office has been in contact with the woman who recorded this video of an ICE agent drawing a gun on her. She is a Northern Virginia native and a mother.

This idea that if we could just talk to Einstein or Adam Smith, then all our problems would be solved, is just so incredibly stupid

tyranny

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

Despite the whining about “ historical accuracy,” the racist backlash to the casting in Nolan’s Odyssey is about the right wanting to justify racial hierarchy by projecting it into a past where it did not actually exist. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

People have debated the nature of the vibecession and why economic mood is more pessimistic than the traditional indicators would suggest. I think an underrated part of the story is being gaslight constantly about how our major recent innovations, crypto, sports betting, and AI are advancements. 1/x

Nobody in the U.S. Senate is more responsible for the overturning of Roe v. Wade than Susan Collins. In November, we will defeat her.

Real talk. They don't care if he tears this place down to the studs, as long as he hunts brown people, demonizes queer people, and erases Black people.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

I’m a special education preschool teacher, and my students could use a hand this year. My students have a wide range of learning, communication, and sensory needs, and they thrive when they have access to engaging manipulatives and sensory tools designed to support their development.
