This is so unfortunate. I was late to the Twitter party, but I interacted with Kat’s account a fair amount. She always had super interesting posts, and seems quite nice. And hiding behind shell companies is just cowardly. I believe they call it election interference.

Defense secretary openly states that a pro-Trump billionaire taking over a news network (following regulatory help from the administration) will result in coverage more favorable for the administration.

Pete Hegseth perpetually sounds like an angry teenager hopped up on Red Bull, Adderall and 18 straight hours on Call of Duty.

Is it just me, or every time you see something like this, you wonder if it might be Trump behind these attacks to stir public sentiment towards is forever war, to distract people, and to whip up Muslim hatred? It’s awful that I ever have to wonder.

Was it Iran or radical liberals, because I distinctly remember Trump inferring it was liberal more than once.

His lies aren’t hard to spot. He is wildly inconsistent.

Hi! The Onion and Bluesky are throwing a party at South By Southwest in Austin on Saturday. It's free and spots are limited, so sign up nowish.

We did this last year and only a handful of people died, so we're hoping to keep those numbers down once again!

Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.

I can so relate to this.

I totally agree with your assessment of X. I’ve been shouted down a few times for innocuous statements on Bsky. If we want it to continue to be an open forum, we should self police in that regard. Calm discussion > attacks.

Isn’t this pretty similar to when everyone dropped out of the way when Kamala took over Biden’s campaign? I thought not having a primary was a big deal to MAGA. Guess not.

They call the Department of Defense the Department of War, but then say their war isn’t a war because it’s preemptively defensive.

Exactly. Blindly hooting for the Buffoon-in-Chief as he unlawfully orders airstrikes without a coherent plan isn't a foreign policy, and isn't patriotic; it's just stupid, and dangerous.

really remarkable how trump seems to relish sharing this lurid stories about the terrible pain people have experienced, and he does it exclusively to score some partisan points

As a fellow counselor, I really appreciate well written briefs that use graceful rhetoric layered with solid legal analysis in all the right places. Really nice work.

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”
