"Keep you're friends and enemy's closer" - Machiavelli, The Art Off War

AI-generated ads calling for the for the gassing of immigrants in concentration camps and the burning of synagogues, were approved by Meta and X. But the term “cisgender” will get your posts limited on X.

Illinois has proposed a bill that would require anyone seeking the role of public library trustee be a valid cardholder of the library they wish to serve. This is a positive bill, and it's one in a line of pro-library bills being drafted and championed in the state. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

Why do people who claim to remember their past lives always seem to be reincarnations of Helen of Troy or an accused Salem witch or someone heroic on the Titanic, and never a random cabbage-selling wench from the 1500s who died in her sleep at the ripe auld age of 39 and never learned to read

Theres a lot of billionaire romance novels but I really want one where the secret billionaire boyfriend reveals he's a billionaire and the woman lead is like actively disgusted and repulsed. ".... a billionaire? In a world where children starve? Oh god i KISSED YOU AUGH"

Anyone you know shocked at the blatant Nazism of the GOP needs to be sat down and told they need to listen better in the future.

I just gagged reading this. "In November 2024, when their son was just two months old, Musk texted St Clair, “I want to knock you up again.” Just a few weeks ago, in early February, Musk told St Clair that the two “have a legion of kids to make.” www.usermag.co/p/scoop-ashl...

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

Last week, a number of prominent UK feminists declared Donald Trump a "feminist hero" for banning trans women from playing sports. How did we get here? A new book by @reproutopia.bsky.social explores how reactionary tendencies have created Enemy Feminisms throughout the history of feminism

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)

Reminder

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

No. This wasteful and immoral deportation and border spending bill exceeds the entire $268 Billion Dept of Education budget. Wake up. Speak up. Refuse to fund an army of destruction against American families. Red or blue or whatever, call House reps. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

(1) They’re still going to cut their funding. (2) Appeasement famously worked great as a political strategy in the 1930s, right?

This is how it’s done.

As an asexual myself, I have heard so many times people claiming they can "cure" me of being asexual. I've had people say "You just need to get laid right", "You just haven't had good sex", & "You've never been with me. And I've known many other aces who've heard the same.

racism isnt racism, its racially charged nazi salutes arent nazi salutes, theyre ironic hand gestures 2025 isnt orwellian its 1984 related

BREAKING: New Coronavirus with Pandemic Potential Discovered in China.

Oh look, it's the exact thing trans people warned all the cis women would happen to them as a result of this discrimination. Countdown to black women being told they don't qualify as "genetic women."

They want 1939 Germany, Let’s give them 1789 France.

🚨$1,645 to go for me to stay housed, 6 days 5.5 hours left to get there.🚨That’s a lot all at once, but every share, every dollar, adds up and helps keep me, a queer disabled nonbinary person, housed. please #help if you can💛 #transcrowdfund 💸💕 cA/v: secretladyspider pp: [email protected]

I told my cat he got so many hearts on bsky and he looked at me and opened his mouth like he was going to meow and just made an air sound

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

i gotta say as a jew im not a big fan of the sieg heil coming back into vogue!!!

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

Children's Library of Babel where the books only have 16 pages and one or two large print lines per page, and illustrations

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Fuck Nazis. Fuck Trump. Fuck Elon Musk. Fuck AfD. ( Germany‘s far right party ) We have elections coming up and AfD is at 20% while we still have living holocaust survivors. Vote. Organize. Resist.

Just wow. He's openly threatening governors if they don't comply with losing all federal funding by violating their own state laws.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

all of central Brooklyn is playing a game of Egg The Cybertruck with this one guy who keeps street parking in the hood

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

If this is a surprise to you, you're either maliciously tuning out an obvious truth, or deeply ignorant about the scope and evil of Western genocide support. There's no third option here.

Senator Mark Warner spills the beans about "the real story" of how the TikTok ban went down. Turns out, its passage had more to do with the Gaza war than China. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/tiktok-ban...

Our new FBI director. Congrats America!

DOJ deleted the database tracking federal police misconduct, which included thousands of disciplinary records of federal officers. Exactly how is this getting rid of fraud, waste, and abuse? Because it seems like a precursor to massive fraud and abuse.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.
