H the Hornbill ♨️

Whatever you may think of Zelenskyy — and there are things to criticize — he literally saved his country at great personal risk by refusing to leave Kyiv. Hard to imagine many American politicians doing the same.

there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Tangent here, but something I've often wondered about HP is that we know the British Minister for Magic regularly meets with and briefs the British PM. And we find out in Book 4 (canonically 1994) that Bulgaria also has a Minister for Magic. So did Bulgarian Ministers report to Zhivkov before 1989?

There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

It's amazing how editors will say "we can't see inside this public figure's mind," "we can't assume their intentions" — and then write stuff like this.

Don't worry, Flavio! Your future is guaranteed by Donald J. Trump! That's a bet no one has ever come to regret!

grand juries are holding up better than any of the three branches of government tbh

People love getting affinity-frauded, it's like having friends!

Yet the Trump Administration is giving Flávio Bolsonaro safe haven in the United States. In Brazil, he is under investigation for alleged corruption, money laundering and currency evasion, and was ordered to surrender his passports.

The Trump Administration owes Congress answers on its role helping Bolsonaro flee Brazil in contravention of Brazilian law.

I do love political photoshoots that inexplicably deploy the grammar of slashfic.

This Halloween is the 100th anniversary of Harry Houdini’s death. A death which has spawned many conspiracies… To honor him, here is a recipe for bread and butter custard which he left behind. youtu.be/wp2-FGLdgfE?...

Average Trump scandal: many people dead after uncontroversial government program illegally cut by doge for nonexistent savings Average mamdani scandal: he’s playing BASKETBALL with his FRIENDS

Vance needs this to work for him in 2032 when Trump won't be there to help him anymore. We need to make sure it doesn't

Notable that even in his supposed paean to Israeli democracy, Ambassador Huckabee is defining "Israeli" in such a way so as to exclude Arab citizens of Israel.

Meet the guy Republicans are hoping to gerrymander into Congress by diluting the voting power of Black people in Memphis.

forget 29, as soon as lula is in a room with trump this dude's on his way back

JDPON Don will work tirelessly to give the global south a de facto veto in US presidential politician

So fucking Marco Rubio masterminded Flavio's escape from Brazil?

It’s vastly underated that one of the main reasons the far right hate Zelenskyy so much is he stayed & fought for what he believes in while they go from posting like this to fleeing the country within 48 hours

Remember the two-faced nature of the Right. Don't let yourself forget

Following @sharonk.bsky.social is an alternating experience of “what a prescient and insightful comment on our political landscape” and “what sweet horrors of the pit of the damned have you exposed me to.” I know things about stuff I can’t explain to anyone else now. Cursed knowledge.

If you are too young to really remember the Obama years, conservatives were like this every single day. He really did just break their brains.

I think they might save Marshall with this effort. Which is 1. damning with faint praise & 2. Will make it even more fun if he loses

I think about this comic a lot

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets
