i'm outraged about both because i'm not a racist

The NYT publishes outright cranks that lie and troll minority communities. This isn't conservatives with disagreeable views.

we have a psychotic, murderous, christian nationalist as secretary of defense

Nothing prepared me for this moment more than forcing myself to read American Crusade by Pete Hegseth.

they're not nominating a Californian for president in 2028 and if the party electorate does in fact do so, it will be the shortest electoral suicide note in history

Declaring War on Iran with Trump is a perfect opportunity for sensible governments to throw Israel’s government under the bus.

But they won’t. Cause they are cowards afraid of Trump.

Series of three tweets by Zoe Gardner taking down Nigel Farage's support of attacks on Iran.

Apologies to @zoejardiniere.bsky.social for crossposting her tweets from the nasty place, but I felt this deserves airtime on bluesky because of how emphatically they prove the nasty, immoral, opportunistic politics of Reform.

Even Holden Bloodfeast figured it out.

“If you threaten Americans”

This is Pete Hegseth just reiterating his position stated clearly in his Book American Crusade. His position has always been the US has the right to kill anyone anywhere all the time for any reason.

The Middle East isn't some distant "over there" for Europe. It's part of our shared Mediterranean world.

A reminder that the Middle East is part of the same Mediterranean world that includes half of Europe and North Africa. It is one zone, and there is no “over there.”

Embrace Tradition, do Drag!

The Romans “make a desert and call it peace.”

The Americans make a civil war and call it liberation.

😂 fun fact to get -100% it would require Starmer to also not approve of himself. And his wife. 😂

Four Dead American Soldiers. Hundreds of Civilians from many countries dead. Many more injured.

All because Trump and Netanyahu wanted to do it. Nothing more. Just petty tyrants smashing their toys.

It would be disapproval, but it is still an Approval Rating. They go +100 to -100.

Keir Starmer will be the first person to reach -100% approval rating.

After people die for me to reassume my thrown I will be there.

Fuck monarchs. Parasites one and all.

Bingo. With US or Israeli Security.

Ironically foreign guards being what the US said showed Maduro had no legitimacy.

So much government communication happens on Whatsapp.

Signal is WhatsApp but more secure. So if you have problems with Signal you must also have problems with all other messaging apps and thus treat them all the same. Including stuff like iMessage.

I bet it was the talk to Trump.

The global regulation of hormones is wildly variable between different regimes, with some places having it widely available over the counter without even needing a prescription and other places treating them like narcotics.

Everyone needs to read this thread.

This lecture was posted on the Guardian while I was in my second year of university, reading a political theory canon composed mostly of white men, and it honestly stuck immediately in my head far fiercer and stronger than any of them. I think of it like every day.

Absolutely incredible.

I regret to say that Wes Streeting’s war against trans people is not confined to young trans people.

Here the NHS England which he has boasted about taking back under direct political control (so far) gently discourages GPs from supporting adult trans patients as well.

Everything about Badenoch can be understood through the fact she sees the world through the lens of her “ethnic enemies”: a totalising worldview that will always, always, make the people who hold it say and do stupid things.

“and what happens to Iran’s nuclear weapons.”

There are no nuclear weapons, but 60 minutes knows that. They are just determining that this is now the political line and so is now reality.
