what a compliment!

No no no dolly is the last seal before the apocalypse

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

I already love the community that's showing up in our comments <3 <3

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law “I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

A lawyer representing the Global Sumud Flotilla activists said 150 were still being held by Israel, and 40 were on hunger strike to push for “medical treatment [for] all detainees,” reported the Associated Press. @teenvogue.com

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Within 24 hours of the Kirk shooting, top Trump officials and administration lawyers were drafting legal memos, writing blueprints for possible executive actions and prioritizing which liberal organizations and strongholds of the left needed targeting.

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

If any other president was 57 minutes late to an event addressing service members, there would be wall-to-wall coverage on all 3 major cable news networks addressing whether or not the president cares about the military.

“Other polls say the opposite…”

“Which one?”

“Uh … I don’t know. But the poll you cited is clearly biased….”

“How exactly?”

“Uh … which poll was that again?”

This is how it’s done.

It’s very easy, and it gets results, so if an anchor isn’t asking basic follow ups, that’s a choice.

So nice of @amarimow.bsky.social at the @nytimes.com to give a gentle, both sides approach to conversion therapy. "Please, won't someone think of the bigots," the paper of record bravely asks. I thought it was called the Gray Lady because they didn't print in color, turns out they just hate queers

US energy department cracks down on workers’ use of climate crisis language Efficiency employees reportedly told to avoid ‘climate change’ and similar terms in their work in latest clampdown

The US Department of Energy sent a memo to employees in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) instructing them to avoid “any terminology that you know to be misaligned with the Administration’s perspectives and priorities,” including “climate change.” by @dharna.bsky.social

“They dragged little Greta (Thunberg) by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” Anadolu Agency reported Turkish activist and Sumud Flotilla participant Ersin Celik saying.

More than two million people brought Italy to a standstill, protesting in solidarity with the intercepted Flotilla crew carrying aid for Gaza. The demonstration shut down rail, air, and bus transport, as well as healthcare services and schools.

2 million rally in Italy for Gaza as general strike halts key services Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Kash Patel fires FBI agent trainee for displaying gay pride flag The FBI employee was fired on the first day of the government shutdown as President Trump threatened more terminations.

Kash Patel fired an FBI agent in training for displaying a gay pride flag on his desk while appointed to a field office in California last year. The trainee,who previously worked as an FBI support specialist in Los Angeles, received a letter claiming he had displayed an improper “political” message.

MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There. A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

Just unbelievable stuff coming from independent journalists these days. Jack Posobiec, Roger Stone protege, was one of the biggest spreaders of Russian disinfo in 2016. Then Pizzagate, Macron leaks, election-fraud narratives in 2020. And it took til now to show he was voting fraudulently himself? 1/

The people who’ve been calling you baby murderers your whole life want you to turn down the temperature.

Donald Trump's only redeeming feature is his stupidity.

Grateful to @aaup-penn.bsky.social speaking out against the Trump administration’s latest attempt to recruit Penn and other universities to sign on to a government takeover of higher education in exchange for a favored status in receiving federal grants.

Thing is, DEMOCRATS shut the government down. Not Republicans. Small technicality, I know. (Facts are funny things!)
