New meaning to "pork & beans"

What happens over there happens over here. When America’s foreign policy is brutal, inhumane, a fascistic, America’s domestic policy will reflect that, too. Why? Because the same policy makers are setting the policy.

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

Welcome to the resistance! Over 1 million brave souls have answered the call this week. The Empire—Trump’s administration and Musk—may believe its grip is unbreakable, but every day, more join our ranks. We’ve always known—tomorrow, there will be more of us.

1. Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington have filed suit to stop Trump's under-19 trans ban executive order. They allege it violates separation of powers and the 5th and 10th amendments. The latest analysis of the legal filing from writer Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I don't have kids, but as an American in Canada teaching elementary school, I can empathise with this.

Please take care of yourselves.

Ohio Nazi's. I hate Ohio Nazi's...

But look on the bright side - The Village People may be inducted into the Kennedy Center hall of fame next year!

Blue Sky is cool and all, but have you heard of Spoutible? It’s like another Twitter clone, but totally for nice people!

Hello to all human beings in the Bluesky cosmos. I heard it's pleasant vibes over here. I like to yell good morning off my front porch to my neighbors so maybe I will holler at you sometimes. No interest in hate and disinformation though sorry to say, though beauty and creation do interest me. -III

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

Where the hell is Lin-Manuel Miranda? Why isn’t he, in full costume, outside the Treasury Department, right now, RAPPING?!

Dear lord the news keeps getting worse and worse every day. I'm so disappointed in life.

Grammy's are going live soon with the "real awards" show! Love that the livestream the Premiere Ceremony, actually see people getting their flowers. live.grammy.com

When does our timeline finally catch up with the Dippin' Dots timeline

Does anyone ever why @cnn.com doesn't have a panel of 8 people discussing the weather? Like, they do it for every other news story, 20 seconds of 'news' and then round table discussion on the topic. I want to see that with clouds. And get that one Trumper that says it's all chem trails too.

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis. In 1933. (Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft.) They always come for trans people first.

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

@andertoon.bsky.social Pick your own!

No, but I think people in the future will be reading about the "Great Starbucks Rebellion of 2025" that is, if they can still read by then... forget ethnic cleansing and South African/American Nazis, what makes Americans really mad is fucking with their coffee!

I'm an American living in Canada. I don't want to go back. And I don't want the border to cross me and come here....

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests
