Thank you, @lindseyboylan.bsky.social

Lefty pundits who claim progressive economic policies can't coexist with what's dismissed as identity politics, take note of what happened tonight.

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

Brave men watch as a woman shoves a shitstain in an SS uniform out of a bar and onto the sidewalk. Two other women join her and tell him to get lost. He eventually grabs one of the women and hits her across the face with his beer glass.
So much for the Nazi punchers.

There’s a plain desire and belief that there’s a path towards political power through white solidarity and we are seeing so many people reach for this.

White solidarity as the driving factor around Platner's support explains why he's backed by people on the Left, Bernie and Jacobian, but also by moderate Dems, the PodSaveAmerica guys and many Dem Senators. It's not left vs. center, it's white supremacy is unacceptable vs. white solidarity.

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

It's hard not to see this as a Nobel Consolation Prize.
I said what I said.

Begging people who are excited about the Nobel Peace Prize winner because she isn't Trump to take five minutes and read about her.
This was Trump's consolation prize.

If I had a baby in my placenta I'd want some fucking Tylenol

Brb, buying another pallet of beans for the basement

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

Everyone should know clipping.

I use "toe," as in the extremity furthest from the brain.
Addressing someone as "you absolute toe" is not a comment on their intellectual or cognitive function but on their oppositional epistemology.
Does not require an actual toe.

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

• Melissa Harris-Perry

Gaddafi at least wore absolutely amazing outfits when he ranted at the UN General Assembly.

Just this first sentence of that EO is giving me motion sickness:

"Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law."

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm

Tear gas is an abortifacient.

When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby.

The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since.

Horror movie stuff.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries.

When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom.

I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

Just one more rally bro. Just one more and we're home free. Just put your name on this list it's fine.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

I believe @karenattiah.bsky.social practices politics the right way, actually.

Lessons from a mass shooter's mother A decade after her son committed a massacre, Chin Rodger is on a quest to help prevent the next tragedy.

If you want to understand what to look for re mass shooters or brain-rot assassins, this epic piece of reporting from @markfollman.bsky.social. We can all do our part to ID people sliding down these paths and get them help before it's too late: www.motherjones.com/criminal-jus...

Yeah. I had actually been thinking about it too, seeking all the Charlie Kirk hagiography.

I remember that. I was thinking "I hope people remember me as fondly as they seem to remember this white supremacist."

Same. Was unaware we had a crisis of that nature.
