“Did they grow up under a rock??”

Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control.

This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

"We don't have to let atrocities define America" but America was built on atrocities. America sustains itself through atrocities. And America is not alone in that. So perhaps, perhaps clinging to the myths and ignoring the realities isn't actually effective in the slightest

"Abolish ICE" is the moderate position. "Try everyone involved in ICE for crimes against humanity" is the progressive one.

And so our long climb out of the darkness descends, as the year turns and the night recedes.

The Best Comedy Series Of 2025 Is The Antidote To Everything You Hate About Streaming - SlashFilm Dropout's Game Changer is a perfect example of how creative people can cheaply use a classic format to get modern viewers emotionally invested in the outcome.

I’ve spent all season analyzing why @gamechangershow.bsky.social is the best of the best, and it shouldn’t be a surprise that talking to @samreich.bsky.social about it made everything click into place.

Trump's unprecedented takeover of D.C. police comes as crime is down, figures show The move has already caused confusion among federal agents tasked with tackling local crime. "No one knows who is in charge or what they're supposed to do," one official said.

Washington, D.C. is not just the government. There are over 700,000 people just like you who call it home. All people have the right to live in safe, peaceful neighborhoods.

But Donald Trump doesn’t care about other people, and he doesn't care about keeping other people safe.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

EDITOR'S NOTE: We have updated our story on Anne Frank to say that she actually died of typhus, and not from the Nazis putting her in a concentration camp. We regret the error and will find the filthy rat who dared to suggest the Nazis had anything to do with her death.

It’s Abu Ghraib all over again.

But inside our borders.

theyre announcing racial profiling on TV now

Hell is empty and all the devils are here

hell yeah i can't wait till tomorrow so i can post my annual reminder that the American revolution was a counterrevolution waged by rich slavers so that they could expand their genocide further west, for which they lied to the white working class about "liberty."

The administration is threatening to strip the citizenship of a man voters chose to serve as the Democratic Party’s nominee for Mayor of New York City because they don’t like his political views.

Just straight up fascist shit, no chaser.

the president just opened a concentration camp

I can tell you right now: politicians on both sides of the aisle will see this election as a reason to never implement ranked-choice voting.

Today is the 10th anniversary of Obergefell and the constitutionalization of same-sex marriage into the American legal canon. Victories are to be savored- to be sure- but not taken for granted. The law is not necessarily a one-way ratchet. It takes work to secure wins and just as much to keep them.

Saturn Girl @FrankieLynch777 4500-year-old Sumerian records tell us of transgender priests to the goddess Inanna called "gala." She was said to have the power to change men into women. Records also tell us that many gala had wives and children. Trans identities and queer families are as old as civilization.

Periodic reminder that #transgender people are older than Christianity. #pride

As someone who read (iirc) the Kushiel trilogy in high school… no, absolutely not

Lot of people seem to think this is a paraphrase. No, he actually said that

The Onion NYT ad. The headline of the editorial says “CONGRESS, NOW MORE THAN EVER OUR NATION NEEDS YOUR COWARDICE”

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker.

My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

The western world has been on a two-year crash course learning all the reasons why the Muslim world has been correct about Israel this entire time.

Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Benjamin Netanyahu. Fuck these fascists, their bloodlust, and their genocidal criminality.

22 years later, the same arguments — from the same people.

Conservatives think we can't be trusted to choose our own paths and create our own lives.

The more we do it anyway, joyfully and unashamed, the more they're proven wrong.

This 14yo goblin shithead wakes me up by alternatively punching me in the eye, biting my hair, or scraping my shoulder. Drives me nuts but I adore him

Image of a man at a protest holding a mirror, the mirror has text on it saying "Want to see who came to riot" at the top and "Look for who dressed for a riot" at the bottom. You can see police in riot gear reflected in the mirror.
