Why is this student so upset about the mushroom, though? What could it have done to make her protest across the whole continent

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.

Hegseth: "I'm gonna' have this crippled guy shot and stream it online - maybe pay per view. Wonder what kinda' exotic ammo I can use. . . this is gonna' be bitchin content!" Bluesky: "You realize, of course, that this is almost exclusively the fault of elected Democrats." bsky.app/profile/goli...

So I just returned to the United States and I didn’t have to show my passport. They just did a face scan of me and my family. Took two seconds and was convenient and totally intrusive.

Losing to the baby you bathed sounds like a Greek myth

Okay, so a lot of Americans are going to have to die so that we re-learn why we passed the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. I told you that you would miss the Progressive Era if you voted for the Gilded Age, but I guess maybe explosive diarrhea teaches best. bsky.app/profile/katj...

Quick, summarize America in one headline

From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

“Did you see that Israel used nuclear weapons on Tehran?” says my son as soon as I wake up. I go check the news immediately before I realize it is April 1. 😅

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

This means it is closed.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

We all need to get the fuck out to the streets now

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

it's time to play America's favorite new game, 'what the fuck am I waking up to now'

We need fewer cars in cities, not driverless cars.

Failed Waymo robot blocking emergency services during a widespread emergency: Grant St at Sacramento, heart of Chinatown, San Francisco I've been warning about this scenario for ~7 yrs. Safety drivers fix this in seconds. SFPD will prob have to drive this out of the way. OP:tiktok.joolyana

San Francisco famously has never had a significant earthquake, so surely Waymo has no need to consider the public safety impacts in a major disaster.

really went dark for the sequel

OK, who narced?

He makes so much more sense if you view him as a degenerate aristocrat who started with romantic takes on Nature and swiftly moved to eugenics. European history and literature is stuffed with such picturesque ghouls and their consequences are usually bad.

Fuck Donald trump indeed

I'm firing my bathroom scale until it starts giving me better numbers.

The Americanists in my PhD program used to joke that their entire subfield of political science could be summarized as "we haven't really learned anything distinctly American about politics since Tocqueville." In this case, see Democracy in America, Chapter XVI, Part I. bsky.app/profile/exil...

Hi! Former VC lawyer and certified political economist here. This is 100% true - university research subsidized by the federal gov't is directly or indirectly the foundation of most tech startups. Destroy the federal funding or the universities and it all falls apart. bsky.app/profile/adam...

Pea guacamole is not a thing.

Yup, Putin has that playbook.

Is it too early to call the Mamdani administration a disappointment?

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

No they didn’t.

They posted this soon after 👍

Is it time to secede yet?

He is an asshole

Qatar giving Trump a $400 million plane "raises ethical concerns" says major media, in the same way as Jimmy Carter's death last year raises concerns about whether he will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2028

I think the opposite is true - a law degree offers both the vocabulary to explain why what Trump is doing is antithetical to our Constitution & an understanding of how courts can be used to stop it. So far, only the judiciary has slowed the attempted fascist consolidation. bsky.app/profile/elie...
