Joe Biden should pardon and release from prison the 3,000 people behind bars for ridiculous federal marijuana offenses.

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?

Good God this letter…

a turkey with an aggressive interest in digital currency is called a tryptobro

What a great read!

Watching the certification process again, for Reasons, and Jim Jordan’s speech is utterly deranged

pass laws that compel new liquor stores and dispensaries to open in defunct businesses and retain the brand identity. Weed Lobster will rise

it's super easy to write to your senators asking them not to confirm RFK's appointment. text SIGN PRCPIT to 50409 and they'll send an email for you for free. it'll take 2 minutes

I've been looking for ANYTHING to regulate my emotions into a place where I don't feel catatonic with anxiety about what might be coming tbh, & this piece def helped (I say 'might' not as in nothing-bad-will-happen, but bc, as Solnit notes, none of us can have certainty, & that's part of the fear)

Wowww!! What a win, Detroit!!!

I logged in looking for live football conversation. BlueSky is still not a good location for that except for the biggest games.

The country looks the way it does because a majority of white people enjoy the privilege they pretend doesn't exist.

The percentage of white voters who have supported Democratic presidential candidates over the past three decades: Clinton 1992: 39% Clinton 1996: 44% Gore 2000: 42% Kerry 2004: 41% Obama 2008: 43% Obama 2012: 39% Clinton 2016: 39% Biden 2020: 43% Harris 2024: 41% 1/2

The buyer's remorse on this election is going to be incredible. No one's ever seen anything like this before.

propaganda works

The final piece of advice I would like to give to new folks tonight is that Bluesky will be what you make of it. When I came over from the former Twitter, I resolved to be more kind to others here than I was over there. That choice has made being here so much better. Keep it in mind for yourself.

Random tip: You can throw a couple limes and lemons in the freezer whole, and they'll keep for weeks (even months if you're me) until you need 'em for a recipe. Then pop in the microwave about 10-12 seconds, or let rest on a counter about half an hour, and you have fresh zest and juice!
