JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

The corruption of this administration is beyond understanding.

Would not want to be on the side supporting them.

No one can deny that ICE under this Administration is being overly aggressive, violating people's rights, and endangering the lives of U.S. citizens and law abiding immigrants. We cannot move forward without commonsense reforms.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

This is a case where an apology is clearly warranted. But it will never come from this White House

Another day, another mishandled crisis from the #whitehouse and press secretary. And the story keep changing too. First, it was an unnamed staffer, then he passed it to staff to post without watching the end, now it’s “fake outrage”….any other press secretary would have been fired by now #crisis

@donlemonofficial.bsky.social's arrest & the threat to sue Trevor Noah are warnings to every journalist in America. The message from this administration is clear: cross us, and we'll come for you. I break down what this means for press freedom in my latest Substack article and video. Link in reply.

Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz, the top federal judge in Minneapolis, rips into ICE:

"ICE is not a law unto itself."

"ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence."

When people derogatorily call PR folks #spin doctors, it’s because of people like her. No #PR professional should try to spin something that’s so easily refuted. She could have easily come up any number of better replies

Still surprised this is my most popular research article, but it's about #videogames, #fandom, and #religion, so🤷‍♂️: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Completely valid concern. How do you distinguish the real officers?

Working on some research now about fandoms. Anyone have any examples of fandoms that split? In other words, a toxic #fandom evolved in addition to the regular fans? Looking for some examples besides #heatedrivalry

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Equality Is Not Oppression, No Matter How Loud Trump Says It Is Donald Trump claims white Americans have been “very badly treated” by civil rights laws. His assault on affirmative action and the EEOC isn’t about fairness—it’s about grievance.

Equality is a goal not a burden

Under Trump, U.S. Adds Fuel to a Heating Planet The president’s embrace of fossil fuels and withdrawal from the global fight against climate change will make it hard to keep warming at safe levels, scientists said.

By pulling the U.S. out of the main international climate treaty, seizing Venezuelan crude oil and using government power to resuscitate the domestic coal industry while choking off clean energy, the Trump administration is not just ignoring climate change, it is likely making the problem worse.

New video shows fatal Minnesota ICE shooting from officer's perspective The video, published online by a Minnesota-based news site, Alpha News, and reposted by the Department of Homeland Security, shows the shooting from the perspective of the officer who fired the shots.

Unsure how to feel about the Venezuela invasion? Allow Mike Johnson to obfuscate

The #Trump admin is the worst at crisis communication. By denying things that are easily verified, they diminish their credibility and trustworthiness. They also have trouble keeping all their spokespeople on the same message. These are basic principles. #crisiscommunication

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Social media has definitely made it easier. fans have immediate access to creators, but it can also demythologize them too! It just depends on how the community interacts and the vocal leaders. I don’t think organizations actively court that publicity, but they can lose control of the community!

So much for stopping wars…

Part of my research focuses on how fandoms can be engaged like religious audiences. This can be a great strategy or a liability if fans become too invested and engaged in parasocial relationships with creators/object. The discourse I’ve seen from some fans about #HeatedRivalry is verging on that.

And now I think I’ve been watching and reading too much stuff about #heatedrivalry. My algorithms now think I’m a huge hockey fan and want me to buy season tickets 😂

We have come a long way for LGBTQ representation in media! I remember watching that Ellen show and how scandalous that coming out episode was portrayed as in the 90s. Now #heatedrivalry is the top show on @hbomax.bsky.social (it helps that it’s a well-made show!)

Dr Russell D. Moore is a theologian, pastor, and the editor in chief of Christianity Today.

Are m/m hockey romances written by women a thing? I read an entirely unrelated series to @heatedrivalry.bsky.social called Him that was also this. Great books! Just interesting! #books #queer

This is a pretty good assessment of how this press secretary actually exacerbates potential crises. #crisiscommunications

I need to post about something else besides how awful things are right now, so here are my #cats …judging me.

This is the epitome of state-sponsored propaganda, and theres really no confusion here about what’s going on. Government departments should always be nonpartisan. #propaganda

This is crazy, and these kinds of things undermine legitimate scholarly research.
