a pretty telling thing about how all this works is that Anheuser Busch aired this infamous "craft beer is for effeminate geeks" superbowl ad at the same time they were aggressively buying up craft breweries around the country. None of this is real it's just Marketing 101. Market segmentation!

This is what happens when you put people in these important positions that are so absurdly unqualified!

The US did NOT contact airline passengers who flew with people known to have been infected with hantavirus. Cool cool.

Fantastic!

As I've said many times, the most sensible way to determine what the party wants & prioritizes is by looking at what it does when it has power to act, namely, when it has a trifecta at the state level. Take Minnesota:

He is angry she challenging him

Paul Eric@pauleric70.bsky.social

Journalist Barbara Walters back in the early 90s interviewing Trump and she was prepared for the lies he was going up to tell and had already made sure to research and investigate everything about him and his business dealings especially his failing Casinos! She was definitely one of a kind 👏👏👏👏👏

So Noem et al are taking the resources the Coast Guard needs for search and rescue missions and using them for deportations. Sounds like Americans are going to have to rely on magically never having problems because no one is coming to help us if the resources r tied up deporting.

Sharing this again. Please spread the word about these resources in Minnesota, and donate if you're able. If AltNPS won't bother to share links to help Minnesotans, then I will.

AltWatcher@altwatcher.bsky.social

Anyway, I invite AltNPS and everyone else to share this list of Twin Cities-area organizations, food distribution networks, and mutual aid links. It's got everything. From legal aid links to a GoFundMe for Circulo Childcare Center in Minneapolis, they could all use some love. Thank you!

Shocker. All they care about is controlling women.

Global Abortion Rights News@globalabortionnews.bsky.social

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.

It's so bizarre to see a doctor on a tv show saying someone's pelvic exam proved they were a virgin. Ummm. Whether someone is a virgin or not is not something that anyone can tell from a pelvic exam. Sheesh.

Slavery in America 2025! H-2A worker "recriuters" who steal passports, threaten deportation, force marriage, starve children, withhold pay, or use violence are criminal human traffickers - they belong in prison.

Seriously??? Quoting freaking Margaret Thatcher?! She was HORRIBLE and was always against the people.

"The Black Panther paper regularly published articles about the GI resistance movement and republished articles from different GI papers ... For example, the paper uplifted the story of the Fort Hood 43, a group of Black GIs who refused to go to Chicago as 'riot control' for the [DNC] in 1968."

The security state and its broad sweeping apparatus depends on people complying, assisting, and enacting the state’s demands. This need for our consent is why the legacy of GI resistance, in all its manifestations, is important to study and build on right now.

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

A 97 year old pediatrician in Florida speaks on measles before there was a vaccine. "It was never any joke... If they ever stop giving [the vaccine] in schools, I think we'll have major problems in this country."

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Excellent explanation of the "guy economy"

ceej@ceej.online

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Meta (Facebook) was collecting private data on people's menstrual cycles! In case you aren't aware, other people who made abortions and miscarriages a crime can use your menstrual cycle data against you!
