So, Charlie Kirk and other anti-DEI people are attacking ASL interpreters who are providing vital information to Deaf people during the Los Angeles wildfires. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If Elon had a little bit of a heart, he’d be able to rebuild all of LA himself. But that would mean poor people would get help, so he’s not gonna do that.

I’m thinking of starting a live stream to chat about issues I care about. If you’d like to follow and check it out sometime, follow me on twitch m.twitch.tv/yappfm/home

How does any self described conservative, sit in front of the TV and watch Fox News promote the idea that another billionaire, in Zuckerberg, should be just as influential in politics as Elon? How does this not piss you off??

Meta is actively positioning itself to be allowed to further promote fascist ideology, not just here in the US- but globally. Fascism, or just general misinformation and violent vitriol from the right, is no doubt going to be boosted. Things are only going to get worse.

Imagine being so brainrotted that you genuinely think a heterosexual person being the fire chief in LA would’ve made a difference. Fuck off you’re just tiring everyone out with your stupidity.

Invading Canada, Greenland, Mexico, and Panama will surely lower the cost of eggs.

Things are so cooked right now.. How’d Trump go from “no wars” to starting every war possible with our neighbors.

Had the weirdest interaction with somebody claiming to be an activist who was asking me to take down a post about a book, one that I thought shined a pretty good light on them- and when I asked them to simply validate who they are, they blocked me lol Bluesky is becoming a weird place..

WHAT IS HAPPENING www.reddit.com/r/politics/s...

Let’s keep being distracted by drones in New Jersey or whatever! Don’t pay attention!

When you have the power to approve somebody’s life saving care, and you choose not to— that’s murder. This woman had every right to be pissed off, and you should be too. apple.news/AIsf9HbwES2e...

Bluesky should buy TikTok

Unc what are you doing?

You know what? Fuck it. I’m saying it. Healthcare shouldn’t have a profit margin.

Seemingly boring news that's important: this merger would've led to higher grocery prices across the country. The Biden-Harris administration's pro-consumer Federal Trade Commission and labor unions made this possible.

Lina Khan is a name I really only learned about this morning, thanks to a really informative YouTube video. Then, later in the day, she does a great interview with Hasan Piker. After, Trump announced he’s removing her as the commissioner of the FTC. youtu.be/J7ZdU-1fF8g?... Please thank her 1/

Hello Bluesky, My name is Alexander, and I'm a 30 y/o from Minnesota with ADHD. I'm looking to foster/join a community for people who fall into the cross section of people who live with disabilities and have an interest in politics. If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you!

Missouri State Senator Andrew Koenig, is sponsoring a bill that would call for mandatory prison sentences for being an illegal alien in his state. Additionally, the bill would reward anyone who helps catch an illegal alien, with $1,000. www.senate.mo.gov/25info/BTS_W...

Something people need to realize is that we cannot change anything, it us who are currently on the left are the only ones still here by 2028. If you want to win and implement your policies, you have to get elected. You’re not doing that if we’re still isolating ourselves from MAGA voters 1/

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Reminder that the conservative right hardly seem to actually practice the things the preach.. Why does Ken Paxton hate the unhoused? www.chron.com/culture/reli...

As funny as this community note is, I fear it’s relatively useless. Look at the views on that tweet. How many people saw this, reacted accordingly to the Russian propaganda, and never saw the community note. X/Twitter is a Russian propaganda machine.

25% tariff on all Canadian imports will devastate gas prices. Shown here are all the cross border imports of Canadian oil. Keep in mind that a lot of US oil cannot be directly used/refined in the U.S.— we actually export U.S. “light” crude and instead import “heavy” crude to use in U.S.

Horrible but not unexpected I guess.. Doesn’t feel right does it?

Texas is acting fast to attack members of the Trans community in 2025. Call your reps. Talk to your neighbors. Trans rights are human rights. Nazis worked just as hard to strip away rights from people they saw as “undesirable”. We have to call this out. www.erininthemorning.com/p/republican...

* Slams head against wall repeatedly *

The amount of Dems who voted on this sucks. Looking at you Collin Allred of Texas.

No bill like this should have been taken seriously in Congress, yet here we are on the cusp of ushering in a self-ascribed 'dictator' as President. How long before this would be used to declare Planned Parenthood as a terrorist organization? What about the ACLU? NAACP? GLAAD? ADL?

Yes, many of Trump’s nominees have allegations of SA. He is whitewashing his own SA conviction by making accusations a badge of virtuous victimhood. Trump is saying, “Look! They accuse everybody of this!” Our attacks only support his claim. 1/3

It's an incredibly important to have if we actually want to protect people, including the most marginalized communities from this incoming administration.

Tom Homan: "If I gotta send twice as many officers to LA because we're not getting any assistance, then that's what we're going to do. We got a mandate. President Trump is serious about this. I'm serious about it. This is gonna happen with or without you."

I’m sure this won’t end with someone getting hurt

Here’s another long-ish 🧵. These are some of my thoughts on how the Trump administration will operate and how regular folks can respond, other can calling Congress all the time. 1/

@davidpakman.bsky.social is here on Bluesky and a great voice of independent journalism, and the fight for democracy. Give him a follow!

Just incredibly dangerous.. idk what else to say?
