Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Yeah feel kind of awkward supporting the Americans protesting with that line because...ummmm........ 🇬🇧

Somehow this is the most absolutely perfect thread - tremendous work #Andor

Ok in my head I figured this would be a dress uniform situation, but this looks like normal uniform? Am i totally wrong?

I don't know if this is solitaire or freecell, but it ain't balatro

Do they not understand what tanks do to roads? They have to drive on it the day after 🤨

There's got to be at least one gritter called "Fuck Ice" or "ice off our streets" or something

I have a recurring nightmare in which I post dumb jokes to distract myself from the terror of being alive

It is a challenge to remain cheery when everyone in power, and everyone funding them, and everyone supposedly holding them to account, and everyone tasked with scrutinising them in the press, are such a pack of ghastly cunts hellbent on turning the world into the most dystopian shitshow possible.

Regarding recent immigration actions and the Club World Cup.

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

I honestly think it’s time for some Dems to start dropping f-bombs. On national television. Let’s start acting like the crisis this is

Not-so-gentle reminder that one senator can use his privilege to pretty much grind the senate to a halt.

This is disgusting and everyone involved here should lose their jobs - "no warrant needed" - you're not trying that in Texas

Paramilitary thugs think they can get away with anything - when you do not hold people to account you get this attitude

Yeah maybe don't give the corrupt guy who's headed to jail when he's no longer PM the power to start WW3

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

They've chosen LA for this quite clearly because it's a Dem city in a Dem state, and because doing this in New York might upset some of the Trumps who are still there. Also because it would look like Die Hard 3 with the NYPD manipulated by a nazi with badly dyed hair

I'm not sure you can do takebacksies on that 🤔

De Blasio having the time of his life rn

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

Oh bloody hell

These tame Trump judges are using delay again to let Trump do whatever he wants. The 17th is Tuesday. The big protest is happening Saturday across the US. Before Tuesday...

more crime in america

Right Trump has threatened military occupation of LA is what I'm guessing from this

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

he realized he was cooked if he kept this up. he absolutely tarnished his reputation and is now in the groveling on his hands and knees stage

I’ve seen a few variations of this making the rounds. I like this one best. I don’t know who the original artist is but thank you to them.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment for RFK jr Even if it doesn’t work, which it probably won’t, democrats need to make clear that he’s not gonna get away with it

Research with @transenv.bsky.social finds that average bonnet height in newly-sold cars is increasing by 0.5cm a year, reaching 83.8cm in 2024, up from 76.9cm in 2010. This increases severity of crashes & reduce drivers’ visibility. Clear need for regulation. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

It’s kind of nuts how people believe advocating to ruin various groups of people’s lives they have a prejudice against is just a simple disagreement and not evil shit that should be shunned completely. And it’s scary how normal it is.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.
