Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

I've just discovered @bennjordan.bsky.social on the tubes (I'm a little slow), and he's fantastic.

This timeline of Twitter's descent seems poignant at the moment. Politicians should really get the hell off of that thing.

Just a friendly reminder that they want y’all to be miserable and wrapped up in their agendas so don’t forget to live your life and laugh and find joy.

Cuz even if they eventually get us all killed, this is still your time here.

Well, Captain Obvious, maybe it’s because 90% of the stock market belongs to the top 1%. It doesn’t reflect the actual economy in any way.

A tweet from Charlie Kirk questioning the authenticity of a signature. The image shows a bold, jagged signature with tall vertical strokes. The tweet reads: "Does the below from the WSJ look like this actual signature from the President? I don’t think so at all. Fake." Below it is a retweet from Michael Scherer stating: "WSJ just published alleged Trump birthday letter to Epstein."

I wonder how much of the calculus against a single payer system is the number of people that would be put out of work. Claims coders at Dr's offices, and their opponents at the insurance companies, for example.

This is unfortunately the right response.

If the government is shut down, Project 2025 (the people actually directing Cheeto Voldemort) will do everything they can to keep the government at the shutdown levels, making all of the furloughs permanent.

Until we have rank choice voting (good luck!), our only choice is to vote for the "least worst" candidate. And we must do that, otherwise a non-vote is a vote for the "worst worst" candidate.

Linehan adde: 'You're trying to make out I'm a bigot because I believe in women's rights and oppose men trying to intimidate and bully women.'
He said Ms Brooks has been involved in trans activism since 2013.
Prosecutor Julia Faure Walker said Ms
Brooks would have been six years old at that time.
'So he says,' Linehan replied.
Ms Faure Walker said that Ms Brooks' driving licence proves she is 18.
'If you can lie about your name and sex you can lie about anything,' Linehan replied.

Transphobia is a unique sort of bigotry that just absolutely cooks the online brain. Holding it nearly always results in an inability to ever admit you’re wrong about anything and exponentially increases the likelihood of believing in a cascade of ever dumber conspiracies and fascist ideology
