Evil Orc Heart

We are not even semi-prepared for what it would take to become a law abiding country again, which suggests we won't be. It's a big problem, imo.

I think we should be more worried about the murders of random fishermen.

The soldiers who followed those orders need to go to jail, along with everyone in the chain of command.

lets all stay dignified and remember that jordan was doing (canadian) politics the right way

his veneer of strutting vanity, peacocking around in those absurd little suits while clearly just unable to manage any of his day to day -- even pronouns were a violent assault on his cognitive load -- is sad but also detestable

Sorry my bad; was spiritually attacking him, I'll stop.

i can't believe i have to learn about the rigid technicalities of the NYT org chart

this is great but i want to state that weiss was never a columnist at the times. she was an editor who barely did that job.

First of all, how dare you.

i think the key to understanding a lot of establishment discourse is that basically only the left and liberals are capable of being viewed as subjects capable of judgement which is why GOP rule is essentially treated as a force of nature

Seems that, despite having switched to Blacksky, he somehow got permabanned.

I've been saying it for more than a year now, @jay.bsky.team is not fit to lead this project. Perma-banning Link (presumably because who is going to care about the Black disabled guy) is yet another immature and petulant action as if we needed more proof.

Here's my question

FWIW I’m trying to be better on sloppy usage of mental healthy related vocabulary and think you might want to give thought to that too if you’re not already.

Dropping Greta when she cares about Palestinians after showing she cares about the environment suggests you would gladly sacrifice the environment to let more Palestinians die.

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

I'm gonna need @jay.bsky.team to point to exactly where Link violated the TOS to get suspended here. Is calling out bullshit no longer allowed?

If @jay.bsky.team actually believes there should be no Caesars, she would un-suspend Link tonight

The funniest thing about this is how legit terrified ICE looks.

This is the obvious absurdity of pulling ICEBlock. It is obviously legal, protected speech for anyone to say, in any forum, “I just witnessed some police activity at location X”. Indeed, people have been doing this regularly on social media since its inception.

hello, every single mainstream journalism outlet and staff journalist alive,

i am asking you to please report with as much integrity and common sense as the mega rich old white guy who runs the state of Illinois

thank you in advance

this entire thing was so unnecessary

once again: hire a comms person and save your bitching about the userbase for the group chat

The US consumer is completely drained, and what did they do with all that cash they extracted from us? Lit it on fire to make a machine so advanced its the first ever computer that can't do math and spent the remaining scraps buying the media and presidency so people couldnt be mean about them

Opinion | Democrats shouldn’t bail out Trump as the shutdown drags on The best time for the opposition to take a stand, rather than settle for untrustworthy promises, is right now.

The White House is blatantly violating the Constitution, ignoring Congressionally-allocated spending. Approving any budget would put a stamp of approval on the end of checks and balances.

It'll hurt, yes, but it's time for opposition. The political costs will mostly fall on the people in charge.

I've designed this educational resource to help people better understand ICE's ethnic cleansing campaign in Chicago.

If you find it useful, please consider sharing it with your network of family, friends, colleagues, and peers. Thank you!

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Mind you my real feeling is text based social media is about to be obsolete until a data portable context aware space comes in with BANK .. and they want it that way

Thank you. My school (New College of Florida) didn’t choose - the governor did that for us.

Please tell your schools that doing this will not save their institutions- Trump will destroy them. My school isn’t even as good as GOP favorite Hillsdale College now. It was once far superior.

All I know about this situation is somebody named “Jay” has been clogging up my feed all weekend with Main Character clowning, feels like the mods could clean this up

in my very early days I used to repeat the line that you should only transition if you simply can't live without it but that wasn't because I was saying "it might be a mistake" but rather "be aware of the massive price the world around you will make you pay."

But I grew out of that.

Not long ago -- in my lifetime -- all trans people faced unspeakable violence, including state-sponsored violence, for simply existing

And self-appointed gatekeepers made it as tough as possible for a person to transition.

Anyone who wants to bring back the gatekeeping also wants the violence back
