I wonder how many people are vibe leaking.

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Is this at the State of the Union Address?

DOJ has not released some Epstein files related to a woman who made an allegation against Trump The files do not include records from three FBI interviews with a woman who said Jeffrey Epstein abused her and who also made sexual abuse allegations against President Trump, according to an NBC News analysis.

The DOJ has not released records from three interviews the FBI did with a woman who alleged she was a sexual assault victim of Epstein and made sexual abuse allegations against President Trump, according to an NBC News analysis and information provided by a source familiar with the investigation.

This is a duty I'd very much enjoy.

everyone in this fucking administration spends their days sitting around trying to think of new ways to kill more americans

Kamala Harris: When this guy is talking about the economy is roaring…

Who’s it roaring for when you put a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid? You know what Medicaid funds? Families with children, pregnant women, seniors, people with disabilities. Meanwhile, a $1 trillion tax cut for the richest people

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

Full bowls of food and these two act as if they're starving every time I make meatballs.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

The Cuban Embassy says a Florida-registered speedboat entered Cuban waters this morning and allegedly opened fire on Cuban border guards who approached it, injuring the commander of the Cuban vessel. Cuba says four people on the U.S. boat were killed and six others aboard it were injured.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

A peaceful sleep

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Democrats refuse to stand for Trump as Al Green ejected over ‘apes’ protest sign Texas Democrat removed for holding ‘Black people aren’t apes’ sign as colleagues stay seated while Republicans cheer

The removal for the second time was “of no consequence”, Green told reporters outside the chamber, as he still held his sign for cameras to see. He said nothing would prevent him from doing what he believed was a righteous thing to do. “You have to take a stand”

Resilience, ridicule guarantee hate group’s flop at D.C. anti-abortion march When 120 white nationalist Patriot Front members descended on Washington, D.C., they were met by counterdemonstrators and clown music.

NEW, from me: I talked to people who shut down Patriot Front's rally in D.C. last month.

Counter-demonstrators made it impossible for PF to produce propaganda and recruit at the March for Life rally. The clown music set the tone.

"The Summer I Ate the Rich" by Maika and Maritza Moulite. The book title is written in hot pink font on a black background and the cover depicts a golden fork, tines wound with bloody pearls.

I was enjoying this audiobook (while decorating in The Sims) so much I accidentally stayed up too late on a weeknight. This is one of the most unique books I've read/listened to. Going in, I had no idea the main character was a zombie! Check it out if it sounds good to you. I'm 70% through. #booksky

Every single member of the U.S. Mens Hockey Team who laughed at/demeaned the women on the U.S. Hockey Team should be called out for being the misogynistic shits they are.

US farmers are rejecting multimillion-dollar datacenter bids for their land: ‘I’m not for sale’ Families are navigating the tough choice between unimaginable riches and the identity that comes with land

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.

Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.

America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.

This is what integrity looks like.

I blame the TED Talk for introducing the concept that people in tech should talk.
