Honestly one of most chilling parts of this fascist rise is watching journalism stumble around the point without ever finding it like Mr. Magoo dodging every calamity around a construction site.

The implications are entirely clear. They're burning the planet to line their own pockets.

(e) The Attorney General shall evaluate the places of imprisonment and conditions of confinement for each of the 37 murderers whose Federal death sentences were commuted by President Biden, and the Attorney General shall take all lawful and appropriate action to ensure that these offenders are imprisoned in conditions consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes and the threats they pose. The Attorney General shall further evaluate whether these offenders can be charged with State capital crimes and shall recommend appropriate action to state and local authorities.

This is one of the most ghoulish things I’ve ever fucking read.

Told you. Violence is sometimes the answer. And before you say "this is a bad precedent," the precedent of letting people die to increase profits is a much worse precedent and waiting for the "proper channels" only leads to more death. Extreme circumstances call for what? CALL FOR WHAT?!?!

Jay-Z, Accused in Suit of Raping Minor with Sean Combs, Calls It Blackmail The entertainer said the suit, which accuses him of assaulting an unnamed 13-year-old girl in 2000, was an effort to gain settlement money by putting forward “idiotic” claims.

Jay-Z was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl with Sean Combs in a lawsuit filed Sunday by an unnamed plaintiff. He vehemently denied the allegation and accused the lawyer who brought the suit of trying to blackmail him with false claims.

A decade ago, I knew Charlemagne was a disgusting vile person when I heard him and Andrew Schultz on their podcast “Brilliant Idiots” (podcasts were VERY new to me and nobody I knew even knew what they were).

They invited a rape crisis counselor on and laughed at her as she explained her job

They're just rewording the fugitive slave act

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

Signed, a librarian.

Everything we do to fight fascism will be seen as too extreme, and too early. In reality, history shows that things were usually too late and too moderate.

Culture vulture who has a few famous black friends.

The early days of a new social network are always extra horny because it feels more intimate and private when follower counts are lower and brands/celebs aren't around drawing a bunch of normie attention to the app.

No reason anybody needs billions of dollars.

This man scares me. Why isn't it enough for him to just be a weirdo billionaire? Nah, he wants to force his thoughts upon all of us. Like we literally can't escape this man.

You ever ate a meal so good and the restaurant shuts down, and the thought that you'll never have it again makes you mad?

And like...i get it. You were raised to believe that protecting yourself was disrespect. I'm not trying to change your belief. I just happen to believe that letting anyone hit me is disrespect, too.

I'm laughing because every time i tell that story people go "uh oh! I know she tore that ass up after that!"

And no. I would never hit my mother. But i also decided she would never hit me again, either. And she hasn't. Nobody on earth is hitting me and i just LET them.

Once i caught the belt

Ass whippings teach the child not to tear up the store from fear of you and getting their ass whipped. I would like the child to learn not tear up the store because there are more appropriate ways of dealing with their emotions and…

Proactive and preventive parenting instead of reactive parenting 🖤🖤🖤

That ain’t taught with ass whippings. That’s the problem, we want easy solutions. It’s taught with time, modeling, and work of incorporating and enforcing structure and discipline

That child doesn’t need an ass whipping but that may need some firm limits, boundaries, and consequences along with love and connection. That child may need lessons in respect, consideration, and community.

However, I need us to sit with the truth that unmet needs can come in the form of lack of limits, boundaries, and consequences too. 🖤🖤🖤

Misbehavior (acting out and acting is is communicating unmet needs, BioPsychoSocial.

I love y’all, but I’m not RTing that video (child destructing grocery store). However, I will make a few points. -That’s not a meltdown. It’s very slow and deliberate destruction. -Many of those adults were making that situation worse. Who was the actual parent/caregiver?

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.

Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.

But it's not over.

A thread.

My life is personally the best it’s ever been and yet it’s extremely difficult to fully enjoy because the world is falling apart and there’s suffering all around me. Trying to figure out how to process these feelings.

*hits blunt* So if this is Bluesky, and the feed is called a skyline…do we call the blocklist a No Fly list?

I've seen it in convos about anime, crocheting/knitting, hiking, camping, kayaking, hunting, book clubs, baking, woodworking, scrapbooking. I can't even remember the rest, but seriously wtf to do non black ppl think we do all day?

It's wild

Because I just watched a thread unfold in a soap making group I'm in. A black woman asked for ideas for a super moisturizing bar. And a white woman was just *shocked* there were Black ppl in the group.

She really never considered Black ppl might into soap making 🫠
