Congressional Republicans just betrayed their constituents to give a tax break to their ultra-wealthy donors.

Voters will remember next year.

So, basically what is happening in the US now is slavery with extra steps. Watch the video.

Top reason trans people 'detransition' is transphobia, survey finds The largest ever trans survey has shown what trans folks have long said: transphobia is the main cause of detransition.

This man broke his ankle. But the police were ordering people to move. They didn’t care that the injured man could not move. Another civilian bravely saves the injured man from the cops’ wrath. He throws his hands in the air, angrily, at the end at the officers’ indifference and lack of assistance.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

I'm getting kidnapped by Alex Horne, the ("little" yet mighty) mastermind behind the original "Taskmaster". And if you haven't watched this yet, I /highly/ recommend you do. (And then watch the Australian version, whose first panel is the funniest so far!)

A new 'Matryoshka' campaign: Pro-Russian disinformation makes its Bluesky debut Disinformation similar to the pro-Russian "Matryoshka" campaign is emerging on Bluesky, using deepfakes and fake profiles to spread pro-Russian messages, prompting calls for more proactive action from...

It was inevitable, but it’s still good to be aware that this is happening here, now.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the Gl Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. tel:1-877-447-4487

Happy Pride everyone!

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Meaning, I thought he was the Canadian equivalent to the U.S. President, etc.

Oh! I guess I need to do more reading into how it all works in Canada. I thought he won PM.

I'll take any good news I can get.

No doubt. >:(

Insane. Absolutely insane.

The SAVE Act would block millions of eligible Americans from voting. Text SAVE to 63033 to tell your Senators to vote NO on the SAVE Act and stop it in its tracks.

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp.

As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

Thank you. I really needed to hear that right now. ❤️

I can sleep better tonight knowing that at least Carney won Canadian PM. In electing Carney, Canada has rejected its own proto-fascist option after witnessing in horror what havoc ours has wreaked upon the U.S. and the rest of the world.

Canada, I salute you. You did the right thing.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

I live right where it happened, although I don't know any current students. The hostile takeover changed everything about the school. It created a local "brain drain", dissuaded new talented students and faculty from coming, and made our school a local source of embarrassment rather than of pride.

Also, welcome to Bluesky! Please ignore any haters. You did not get the welcome I would wish for you. So here is your do-over.

Because the most important thing is not who said what; it is that a small jumble of words is able to resonate so deeply with a number of humans that this thought is repeated over and over. It becomes a rare timeless gift that takes on fresh significance to each successive generation.
