Please understand that Americans who have a serious chronic illness essentially have no where to run to.

(The immigration rules of countries with the kind of health care system it takes to keep me alive deny me admission because I'm seriously chronically ill, and, therefore, a 'drain on resources')

even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

It's amazing people will fight to the death in defense of cars and car culture meanwhile taking one to get tires changed bi-annually is annoying enough to want to blow up the sun

God products like the Apple Vision Pro and Meta glasses are so funny because they make such a huge deal out of them and no one I know uses them or even owns one.

Dick Cheney going to hell and Zohran Mamdani getting elected on the same day are a win in my book.

He’s basically my age and height but I’m going to answer a much more important calling: scaling a professional services firm before flipping it to private equity

americans hearing about a culture with human sacrifice: wow! what a bunch of savages!

americans nonchalantly driving past car crashes: sucks for that guy lol

probably something like "if we give cops even more money, theres no way we'd lose again!"

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.

This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.

I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

I'm starting to see multiple threads where bluesky folks are trying to raise money for their local food banks because of the shutdown of SNAP starting November 1... can we get a thread going for people to find each other? Drop your link and put your city in front, let's coordinate city by city!

An immigrant’s death at an Oklahoma poultry plant highlights dangerous conditions for workers Current and former employees describe a punishing pace of work and questionable safety standards at a Heavener plant where recent immigrants fill a constant need for laborers.

I might not find some political activism that compelling but I try to keep in mind Kwame Ture's point:
