the reason to vote against every single person nominated to serve in this administration is that they are disqualified by virtue of agreeing to serve in this administration

that’s nothing, a couple months ago he went 144 when he was supposed to go 25

Bro, you gotta block that guy, not because he sucks, but because he’s only here to get you to say stuff to him that will get you in legal trouble.

not sure if this is in the current bluesky consciousness, but the Nuclear Block is what makes this place great. a block ends everything between you and the blocked person. it robs them if all engagement. it’s very much why the troll problem here is much more limited than the everything app.

Jack just say Muslim this is taking forever

It is impossible for most Westerners and indeed even most Mideasterners to keep track of everything the Israelis do on a day by day basis, but it cannot go unsaid that what Israel is doing in southwest Syria is extremely alarming and indicative of an intent to stay there permanently.

"We really have to approach this carefully to ensure that it isn't twisted, politicized, and weaponized" NYT: Be a shame if somebody shamelessly did that anyway, huh

Hi, if you see someone say this then they are a "leftist" in the same manner that Nazis were "socialists".

It’s the extreme application of formalist legalism, where “technically it’s not discrimination because if a cis person wanted to transition they’d also be prevented” prevails. You may notice that’s the same argument that they used to defend anti-miscegenation laws.

Dawg what the fuck

Again, this is NOT WHAT THE COURT IS SAYING in the trans health care case. It's saying the law is allowed to forbid the poor to sleep under bridges and beg in the streets, but legalize the same things for the rich. It explicitly creates two sets of rules for people with and without gender dysphoria.

it’s not just a lack of professionalism, it’s complete contempt for the idea of it.

Okay. Deep breaths. Elbows up. We *will* survive this. If you need help today, if you're a trans kid, if you're struggling with suicidal thoughts, reach for community. Take action. Don't let them force you into learned helplessness. YOU MUST LIVE.

Not a single one of these fucks will see heaven

this alone is grounds for immediate removal in a functioning democracy

Heightened Scrutiny, a very good doc about the Supreme Court case that was just ruled on, does an impeccable and infuriating job laying out just how culpable the NYT and Atlantic are for the nation’s transphobia www.avclub.com/sundance-202...

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

I'm old enough to remember when teen pregnancies and dropping out of school was seen as evidence of cultural decay in the inner cities. I wonder what might be different about this? 🤔

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

"Constitutional conservative"

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Bluesky is full of agitated people giving advice that will get you killed or might, MIGHT, result in your acquittal after the complete destruction of your life. Real life ain’t a flame war, kids.

its really important to understand that senators are incredibly lazy and hate their jobs but balk at the idea of actually making changes to make their jobs less miserable

i couldn’t care any less about hegseth taking the blame, but this headline should focus on trump thinking the sucker, loser troops were acting like clowns

This is just a very obvious "playing stupid" attempt and I want you to know that nobody is fooled by it, David.

keep in mind when watching this that this book has not sold anywhere near expectations and his incessant promotion of it has dragged down CNN ratings

Disband and prosecute ICE.

The whole "games are actually shockingly cheap to purchase given what goes into them" discourse has already occurred so... I'll crib off Pwn and note that almost every single issue in a game is one that QA predicted (maybe even identified) and some other department intentionally dismissed.

shot/chaser

why would anyone anywhere in the world trust anything one american government promises when this can happen to them a few years later

Speaking as the father of a 3 year old and 1 year old, it must have been unspeakably horrific to live in a world of such high infant mortality, and it makes me burn with rage to see so many people lobby for a return to it

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...
