I know it’s scary, but you don’t have to do this. I know you don’t want to do this. Remember your oath. It’s not to a man. It’s to the Constitution and the People of the United States of America.

You are one of the few groups of people who can stop this madness.

It’s a modern gladiatorial game and decades from now our descendants will be horrified at how we demanded this uncompensated brutality for our entertainment

How do i get on the pre-order list or whatever?

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social is a massive disappointment. If he can’t even stop this, how can he imagine anyone thinking he can be president one day?

This is so weak.

Opinion | ‘Sinners’ is a Black challenge to White Christianity Ryan Coogler’s masterpiece mixes African spirits, the American church and the power of music into a terrifying brew.

I wrote about Sinners.

Watching so many Black folk call the film "demonic", I explain how its central horror -- and triumph is that the film casts Black/African spirituality as an effective challenge to Western Christianity.

And your argument is that in public, we just let him be?

I’m not arguing for assault. I’m just saying that people can say “hey, you’re not welcome here.”

i went to see Sinners at the Grand Lake ( you should, too. ) After tasty dinner and cocktails at Almond & Oak we stopped in at Walden Pond Books, where i found @jennitaur.bsky.social _How to do Nothing_ on the staff picks shelf. Everyone should read this book.

Me, a Black Harvard alum: Harvard is full of shit

Bluesky posters: no chanda you don’t understand Harvard is big time resisting

The “courageous justices” you mention would never have found their spine without the NAACP’s decades-long anti-lynching legal strategy.

The civil rights movement worked on EVERY front.

American exceptionalism is electing a pariah government so repugnant that it tanks the electoral prospects of aligned right wing governments across the entire anglosphere

Not even a controversial statement to say that if white people wanted this to stop badly enough it would. Not even a controversial statement to say that among the voting populace it is white people's fault it's gone this far.

And if you're white and that offends you it's because a hit dog hollers.

Baroness Barker: 'The attack on LGBTQIA+ rights is international' For LGBT History Month, Philip Baldwin sits down with Baroness Liz Barker to discuss the ongoing fight for LGBTQIA+ equality.

“Let’s be clear, what starts with trans people doesn’t end with trans people. They’re just first in the firing line. They’re coming after all of us.” Great speaking to Baroness Liz Barker for GAY TIMES. #TransRightsAreHumanRights www.gaytimes.com/life/barones...

Dear @abcnewsbot.bsky.social there’s nothing “unlikely” about Sanders taking a leadership role. He’s one of the only 🇺🇸 politicians that’s been calling the shit out for decades.

I am again just reminding Dept of Ed employees that you could probably accomplish debt jubilee just by labeling the student loan record folder "DEI" on your way out the door

One tiny note that I haven't seen anyone mention:

Musk's statement, "I've never done anything harmful; I've only ever been productive" carries (and relies upon) the unstated assumption 'anything that is productive cannot be harmful.'

We can't allow this shit to go uninterrogated.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

I think the funniest thing about boomer shooters is that they were basically kicked off not with DOOM but Wolfenstein and the answer to "What Do You Do To Nazis" was at one point so unambiguous that it made more sense to shoot them than deamons from literal space Hell.

If one thing gives me a little bit of optimism in This Current Era, it’s that we have mounting reminders that citizens can be the mechanism that forces the FIND OUT phase upon those who dared FUCK AROUND.

YouTube video by South China Morning Post Who is Wang Yaping? China’s first female astronaut to walk in space teaches lessons from orbit

And for all you Musk stans thinking "I don't like Elon either! But Mars tho!"🤡

China has a Mars mission scheduled for 2028 to return rock samples. That's before our next mission. China already has rovers on Mars. China has their own space station.

And China didn't defund their own science research

As we watch the GOP dismantle the federal government with swift urgency, we must acknowledge the reason we are here is Dems do not move with that urgency.

When Roe was overturned, Dems held the House, Senate, and White House.

Instead of codifying Roe, they fundraised off of it.

You know what really bugs me? If we manage to turn the car around and avoid becoming a failed state, the Average Voter will get Y2K amnesia and say "see? It wasn't that bad" and use it as an excuse to keep voting for billionaire failsons with pseudoephedrine addictions

"nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes" style of thinking
