honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

jd vance coming to bluesky to rub it in everyones faces they’ve banned trans healthcare for kids is all the proof we need that they know what they’re doing, it is a politics of intentional evil and spite

Crazy this has to be said but bare minimum I think law enforcement of any kind gotta have a uniform and badge Even somebody who puts tickets on cars has a hat and a vest Eventually a bunch of dudes who just look like dudes are gonna grab someone who’s armed and all our lives will get a lot worse

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

Got it done!

JD trying for another bite of the apple www.ncregister.com/cna/jd-vance...

The NIH folks have been through so much I don't have the heart to tell them they're going to have review grants for studying the use of crystals for treating severe cases of measles.

JARREN DURAN JUST STOLE HOME!!!!

Having covered a lot of protests, I think more activity during the week and civil disobedience will be key things that would drive momentum

Buy on the dip!

The tariffs make trump feel powerful

Donald Trump is following through on his promise to lower prices by making stocks much more affordable for the American people. Promises made, promises kept.

good lord. didn't see this till now. musk didn't just say his site falling apart was a cyberattack. He said it was a cyberattack by Ukraine.

An hour into free agency and the biggest winner is Bluesky Shoutout Bluesky

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

A message from Zelensky through his actions. Honor and dignity. Some things can only be surrendered. They can't be taken away.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

There's so much incel energy radiating off DOGE that a regular guy could develop fertility problems just by walking by.

Holy shit, this Sassoon letter. I think that among other things this is a moment where some people are going to remember that no matter how in charge Trump seems right now, that won’t always be the case. So be careful about your criminal conduct.

Amidst the chaos and the law-breaking the most important thing to remember/focus on is that they are doing these things illegally because they know they don't have the votes to do it by passing laws, even in a GOP controlled Congress.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

A coalition of 18 state attorneys general file suit over Musk’s staff accessing the Treasury payment system, the largest data breach in American history. ag.ny.gov/sites/defaul...

This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction. We all need to speak out to save lives.

Most of the world’s brightest minds are hard at work developing new ways for you to get depression from a computer

What I need people to understand is this. Companies are risk averse. They will throw minorities under the bus rather than prepare to defend themselves against the unlimited resources of the U.S. GOVERNMENT. Case in point: Target.

I’m not saying I was ready for this. But I can’t say I’m surprised by any of this. People like me who write about race, global affairs, colonialism are often labeled race-baiters, activists, etc. When all this time we’ve been warning of the harm, the authoritarianism America is capable of.

lock'em up. Trump won't be in office forever.

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Elon Musk you did it man. Everyone thinks it's so epic that you're ruining everything. They're saying wow elon is so cool and also his posts are so funny

if democrats promise to throw elon musk and everyone in DOGE in jail on day 1 in 2029 they will win a 50 state landslide

Constantly aggrieved pretend billionaire convinces ignorant nation to be constantly aggrieved, resulting in loosing our best friend since the second grade. Dear America, this is what an abusive partner does. Makes you think your friends are the real enemy. Cuts ties to make you dependent on them.
