Seeing that bullshit "have it YOUR way" style advertising for online casinos is so fucked cuz wtf does that MEAN. Like this isnt choosing a build in an rpg or some shit its pulling the arm on a digital slot machine what are we doing here

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

No. We are literally *paying* them, for one thing

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

Regressive tax with opportunities for Trump grift & kickbacks.

My grandfather went from being a child left school early to work down a coal mine, got an apprenticeship, became a high end craftsman and cabinetmaker and sent his sons to grammar school, Oxford University, they became linguists, military engineers. He would have been so angry if some billionaire

GIGANTIC YELLOW WARNING: we don't serve transsexuals. HAPPY REGULAR WEBSITE: care. no matter what. can't make this shit up man

What in the world is happening? Erik Prince has proposed designating a section of a foreign prison as US territory to bypass American immigration laws. If Prince is involved, it can't be good. #ProudBlue

This is where the name of my newsletter, Degenerate Art, comes from. It's a reminder that these people will replace meaningful human endeavor with hate, emptiness, and propaganda wherever they can—while others go on making art and living their lives, despite everything.

TIL the US government can just declare people dead without any proof of death.

I think a lot of what they're doing - deliberate provocative illegality followed by brazen noncompliance with courts - amounts to a program of acclimatising people to a post-legal government; training the public to accept their tacit declaration that they no longer consider themselves bound by law.

Anyone who thinks any of this was gonna force China to a negotiating table has basically no understanding of Chinese foreign policy over the last 1000 years

If you are actively culling your library to keep books like "The Bell Curve" while removing criticisms of the book, you are building a white supremacist library.

"I asked whether he just liked to show up places and be Pikachu, or if he had come out to protest? "

Here’s a smart article that quotes @leahlitman.bsky.social, @cshaplaw.bsky.social, and @judgeluttig.bsky.social. I share Leah’s concern that “The court’s assessment of the risk Trump poses ‘has been horribly off base.’”

I don’t understand why I’m so depressed, doc… all I did was wake up, open my phone, and scroll through roughly 200 new atrocities happening around me in real time before I even get out of bed 😔 it’s a mystery

Victor Perez, an autistic 17yo with cerebral palsy which significantly impairs his movement & makes him primarily nonverbal. he was shot 9 times by cops. 1/2

Please remember: they’re doing this to scare you. They’re doing this to put your body into flight, fright, and freeze. Feel your feels. Go exercise. Drink water. Do breathwork. Whatever it is you need to ground yourself. Then call your Governor, go to a protest or rally, participate in community.

my congressman’s office may be 82 miles away from my house due to gerrymandering, but at least he’s smart

Dawg, I don’t know how there’s going to be a World Cup next year at this rate. Let alone any conventions or concerts with Japanese guests right now. I, rightly so, would be terrified to even risk flying even if I were White.

It is important to understand what a complete and unqualified failure Elon Musk and DOGE has been. (📸 Wall Street Journal)

In any functioning democracy the elimination of an extant department that protects children from lead poisoning would be a game ender for the entire administration under which it occurred. I’ll expect a strong statement from Chuck Schumer and some fundraising texts.

NEW: NOAA scientists are cleaning office bathrooms and reconsidering critical experiments after the Commerce Department failed to renew contracts for hazardous waste disposal, janitorial services, IT and building maintenance. By @lisalsong.bsky.social

WHOA. Trump will strip Temporary Protected Status from thousands of AFGHANS, at a time when the Taliban is fully in control of the country and carrying out total oppression. If any country deservers TPS, it's obviously Afghanistan! We're going to send women back there to be treated as property?

Why does Trump love tariffs? They're fearsome tools for taking on democracy abroad like he's doing so at home—going country by country, going to university by university, and law firm by law firm, demanding loyalty. And loyalty to Trump is, by definition, a betrayal of democracy.

Honestly it feels good to doodle myself every now and then 📺 #Doodles #Sketches #Robot #TVHead #Sona

I once saw a guy get fired at a pizza place I worked at for giving a customer 8 breadsticks instead of 6, and it actually fucked up his life pretty badly. And yet these guys can just light enormous piles of money on fire and they’re still the most powerful and influential people on the planet 🥴

We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy! Save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #April5 #HandsOff

I don't think people who DO have a criminal record should be disappeared to a Salvadoran prison either

Lowndes County is the birthplace of the original Black Panther Party. And just like so many places across the Black South that gave us our freedoms, it's been assailed by unrelenting structural violence ever since. Sacrificed the most to benefit the least.

Of fucking course he is SO BAD AT LIFE that he destroyed our global currency reserve status. Of course. One of the biggest strategic assets we had. Rapid de-dollarization on day 82. Truly horrible.
