Granted we’re just over here in Tennessee, but it kinda seems like greedy bigots threatening to self-deport from NYC if he wins is more of a reason to vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social than against him?

What Wes Anderson movie is this?

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

EPSTEIN FILES: @aoc.bsky.social explains why Republicans won’t bring the U.S. House back into session 👇

ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team Documents show ICE plans to hire dozens of contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for deportation.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Elizabeth Warren: "If fighting to reduce the cost of healthcare and avoid a coming catastrophe is not worth fighting for, then I don't know what is."

Tap tap tap

Why are people saying "this is not normal" over and over again, instead of "this is illegal" or "this is unconstitutional" or "this is treason?" Not normal sounds subjective, wishy-washy and neurotic. It communicates nothing of substance.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Congrats to Moldova!!! Russia threw everything to destabilize the election and failed spectacularly.

Democracy won 🙌🏼

suddenly occurs to me that stephen miller looks like a sentient blackhead

yeah this guy is dumber than donkey shit

I’ve been wondering when the class action lawsuits would begin. Glad to see this.

I’m tired of being divided into teams.

Do you have an elderly grandparent who needs care? So do I.

Do you struggle to afford the high price of everything? So do I.

Do you know what it means to carry the weight of medical debt? So do I.

You’re on my team — and I’m on yours.

Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle, is a right wing tech oligarch who now controls Paramount, which includes CBS.

He's rumoured to be attempting to acquire Warner Brothers.

The Whitehouse also arranged for him to acquire TikTok US.

If you think the media & info environment in the US is bad now...

No one has been more vindicated than normie resistance Dems, women’s marchers and never-Trump Republicans. They were right all along about the threat. The anti-anti-Trump Republicans and reactionary centrists, and the far left “it’s always been this bad” folks have been proved wrong over and over.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.

This is Kirk's legacy.

You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

When we think of sexism, it's easy to think of *active* efforts to discriminate against women. But sexism also operates *passively* - like through our inaction on issues like childcare and paid family leave. In that context, return-to-office policies are sexist in consequence, even if not in design.

Trump was broke until rescued by Putin as an outlet for laundering money.

Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

California's first solar-covered canal is now fully online The 1.6-MW pilot system is among a growing number of initiatives to put solar over waterways. The approach could generate gigawatts of power nationwide.

I can't believe how much positive news there is about solar right now. I have questions about bird habitat but ensuring less of Californias precious precious life giving deliciousness doesn't evaporate while fucking the fossil fuel industry? Sign me up!

The primary person that would have benefited the most from Charlie Kirk’s public assassination is Donald Trump, and we already know it’s not beyond magic ear Trump to orchestrate a plot where his own followers are killed. Especially to cover up the Epstein files and coverage.

Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…
