There is no coming back from this. There is no forgiveness. If this ends in our favor these assholes should never know a moment’s peace

I see protest discourse is hitting the feed again ahead of No Kings—idk man, go, don’t go,

…but if you do go make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing and if you don’t go, make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

Welcome, new users. Posts on Bluesky are called skeets.

Fun fact about Erebor was that there was a big honking dragon in it so nobody could withdraw anything

It’s really hard to tell what’s AI and whats real when a bunch of ICE goons kidnapping a giraffe in a thong for singing is just America in 2025

One awful thing about living in a police state is how anyone can turn informant.

Pissed off at an immigrant or even a citizen of color? Pick up a phone and make their lives hell, maybe forever.

Even if the call never gets made, even if you’d never, the threat hangs over every interaction.

Okay, so that's pearl clutching, but getting people fired for quoting Charlie Kirk isn't? Got it.

With their press badges confiscated Pentagon reporters will have to break stories the old-fashioned way, being accidentally added to Pete Hegseth’s Signal chats.

‼️ this is one of the reasons why the Musk shutdown of USAID broke me, like

Congress said 'we're allocating these funds to save lives'

a random asshole with too much money and unresolved bitterness about the end of Apartheid said 'no you're not'

so the funding disappeared??

and people are dying??

Remember when democrats freaked the fuck out at the mere accusation that the IRS was scrutinizing right-wing nonprofits more?

Not rejecting them, not prosecuting anyone, just raising more questions?

Be sure to listen to the whole thing, which is WAAAAAAY more than the printed quote! :D

Welcome new people. I was asked at dinner last night whether Bluesky was an echo chamber. I said it doesn’t matter, because what I want from social media isn’t to talk to young republicans taking a break from their group chat, but to read things I want to read but that I might have missed.

This. THIS. THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSS

King Charles could do the right thing, if he had the courage

To love anything as much as a journalist loves to post a full page of text and then alt text it as "letter" or "page of book" or "transcript" or the entire long image URL which a screenreader reads out character by character

Suck less, journalists.

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute.

'It turns out that sweet powdery sugar, the same you might put on funnel cake at a state fair, is a major ingredient to make things go boom, or at least hiss and spray smoke.'

Also side not before @adam35.bsky.social can get in here and beet me to it: this is a massive CI failure. The people who cut the checks to pay FBI informants are now directly implicated in a crime.

Huh. Between this and the military, someone must have told Trump that not paying the agents that wield state coercive power during a coup was a really bad idea.

Paying them illegally from funds appropriated for other purposes, too - the archetype of an impeachable offense

I don't work for the federal government, but if I were a federal worker watching them illegally pay a bunch of other people while ignoring me...whew

The classic “history of left-handedness” chart, normally showing how left handed people showed a modest increase to a plateau once it was no longer stigmatized. I have simply mirror-imaged the graph to show it going back down, words too

Been seeing MAGA people cheering that the number of people describing themselves as trans has decreased like they’ve somehow convinced people not to be trans and I worked super hard to make this chart in response

Omg. 🐸
