Don't ever forget this truth: Donald Trump is the symbol of immorality in society today. There isn't a commandment he hasn't broken; there isn't a sin he hasn't flaunted. He is abusive to women, lethal to minorities, and his only relationship with children is carnal. Act accordingly.

It got worse when they added macro lenses to cell phones

Micah@rincewind.run

this remains, to me, the single most baffling thing that happens regularly I know it’s a power thing, but how the fuck are SO MANY dudes apparently sending unsolicited dick pictures 24/7 what is wrong with men

This will happen here in the US

Status Coup News@statuscoupnews.bsky.social

Status Coup captured raw footage from the ongoing civil unrest in France. Originally sparked by high school and university student blockades, the demonstrations have broadened into widespread protests against soaring living costs, underfunded public services, and broader economic grievances.

A white person who tells you change can only be accomplished by voting and you should only protest peacefully and never fight back even as the regime is gunning you down is a fascist.

Someone's racist uncle on Facebook lost his girlfriend in the Russian bot farm fire and you're laughing!

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

If these people could work 80 hours a month, they probably wouldn't need Medicaid, you dumbshits.

Digital Warrior - Combat Disinfo@digitalwarrior.bsky.social

1/ Montana just flipped switch to start kicking ppl off benefits. Starting Oct 1, the state can deny or cut Medicaid for about 70,000 adults who can't prove 80 hours a month of work, school, or volunteering. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is now real. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Any member of Congress who bombs that badly at a congressional hearing shall from now on be referred to as a "Schmidt-head" .

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social

If you ever feel the need to make people laugh but can't think of a good joke, just say the words "Senator Eric Schmitt"

They probably should have used AI

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

And when people ask what should the Democrats do, particularly in light of the fact that the President retains a veto: plenty. I will start with the petty: do not invite the President to give the SOTU. Have him send a letter. A more substantive approach: it is time to audit the Executive Branch.

The average combine harvester uses around 300 gallons of diesel fuel each day.

AgentJoeMcJoe 🇺🇸@joemcjoe11.bsky.social

IOWA is going blue? It's actually possible. Let's be clear. IOWA is a farm state. Pretty much 80% of Iowa is farming. So with diesel over $6.30, it makes it impossible for farmers to make a profit. How many will go broke? A friend of mine is a farmer and she said they have 50 diesel using vehicles.

What a bunch of weenies

reporters werent “barred” from recording, the powerful people they are covering asked them not to record and they immediately complied and hid whats happening from their audience

What has the GDP done for me to earn that extra year?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Dr Oz: "If we could just get the average American to feel so healthy, so with it, so vibrant that they want to work just one extra year, that's worth $1 trillion to our GDP every year"

Is it really so hard to calculate how much Target's employees get in Medicaid and SNAP, then tax Target for that amount?

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

Peter Navarro says that people that are sick don't deserve to live.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

speaking in front of placards that read "FAUCI MUST ROT IN PRISON," White House official Peter Navarro downplays covid -- which killed one million Americans! -- as "not that infectious" and only dangerous for people with comorbidities

These parents should be charged, convicted, and sterilized.

ProPublica@propublica.org

NEW: For decades, Idaho laws have allowed parents who belong to the Followers of Christ and other faith-healing sects to pray rather than seek medical treatment as their children die. At least five sets of parents have lost multiple children.

When he does that again, all the reporters in the room should silently stand up and walk out.

Dr. Dave@drdave1999.bsky.social

I wasn’t at all surprised by the behavior of the demented madman Americans insisted on making President, but I was horrified and sickened by the extraordinary and indescribable cowardice displayed by Kristen Holmes’ fellow WH correspondents. Every one of them should be jobless.

A lot of people don't know this, but when you brush a cat, you are legally required to show them the wad of cat hair that came off of them and tell them "this is enough for another whole cat"
