I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

In which I reply to someone with a blacked out name that they are missing the joke and they inform me that in-jokes are virtue signals “used often by the far right.” Kinda want to frame it.

And they keep saying Bluesky doesn’t have the juice…

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

ICE was very active in Minneapolis today, they kidnapped multiple people. ICE didn't leave, the media has moved on but we are still under federal occupation.

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

You can just say things.

I think you should all be more normal about Jamelle Bouie.

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that?

And then they grew up to be even worse?

So Columbia, how do you feel about your collaboration with Trump now? It did not make you safer. It made you more of a target.

welcome to our trash revolution @trash_panda97 x.com i've been on the subway with homeless people that peed, screamed, all sorts of stuff. it was mildly uncomfortable but truly didn't impact my day in any way. maybe your husband needs to toughen up daniela @daniela_127•3d My husband was on a crowded train yesterday when a homeless woman got on, pulled down her pants, and peed all over the train in front of everyone. He hasn't stopped talking about it for the past 24+ hrs. It is the single most traumatizing thing that's happened to hi...

American leftism will never achieve power if the response to getting peed on while taking public transit is “toughen up”

public spaces should be safe and pleasant, and that shouldn’t be a hot take

This, btw, is a thing New York has done going back to before Fiorello La Guardia

Major corporations bankroll political ad featuring white supremacist slogan Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY), who is running to replace Mitch McConnell in the United States Senate, released his first television ad earlier this month.

Coverage of Andy Barr, a sitting Congressman and candidate for U.S. Senate, running an ad declaring, "It's not a sin to be white" -- a variation of a notorious white nationalist slogan

you don't have to like it, but this is what peak progressivism looks like

the left will go so much farther if it embraces patriotism and joy as a rallying cry to aspire for the country to be better

Good. Also, fuck the Department of Education for attempting to pull this bullshit in the first place, and fuck this whole racist, shitty administration. And fuck ICE, while I'm at it, because that's just an evergreen at this point.

Look, I post a lot about video games, but if you sound like this you should really take a beat and assess whether you're burning your best energy on the right thing.

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

"being against AI in art is gatekeeping creativity" arguments are extra fucking dumb because like, what's outsider art then? you can make art with literally anything. people make art with trash and it has way more value. fuck you

Some folks are beta testing a solution to this issue. bsky.app/profile/azin...

"We contribute something to our state, to our city, to our republic. For some reason, we have to live, excuse me, like an inferior race."

Residents of Russian-occupied Donetsk recorded an appeal in which they complained about the unbearable living conditions.

the correct take. and one the dodgers should be saying to donald trump, who does nothing but trash los angeles.

"Quite frankly, if you got anything to say about my quarterback. If you got anything to say about my defense. If you got anything to say about my O-line. And you got anything to say about the city of Seattle, I got two word you: F*CK YOU!" - Seahawks LB Ernest Jones

Aside from all the other reasons not to believe these people, every one of the “vehicle attacks” I’ve seen scrutinized were either totally phony -like Renee Goods. Or ones where like an ice agent rammed the purported assailant. Like that woman in Chicago

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way.

The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

Why did Donald Trump move this convicted pedophile to a cushy tennis jail for non-violent offenders?

How can MAGA possibly explain that one away

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Someone pointed out that influencers use serotonin/dopamine/cortisol/oxytocin like they’re the four humors and now I can’t stop seeing it

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA
