Potentially the best self-released album I’ve ever heard. No exaggeration. I love it so much

@kearnsn.bsky.social I should write you a letter of this form

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Midwestern governor with a one-seat legislative majority: The coward RethugliKKKans may dash themselves on our rocks if they wish, the tide and the seabirds will leave no trace of their remains New York/California Democrat: I’d like to vote against things I oppose but that’s not realistic

This is a fantastic video because it’s bare bones, straightforward what’s going on.

@kearnsn.bsky.social I believe this is coded for us

Most disgraceful behavior so far

Fraud, waste, and abuse just means resources going to people they don't like. That's it.

[willem dafoe unprompted] now, this cookie monster. [toothy smile] what a creature, what a lust. it consumes him. [crosses legs] he’s really a tragic figure.

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

It remains so weird to find joy in art when there is so much misery in my real life, but here we are, finding joy in art, I guess.

This is what it sounds like when doves cry

so i don’t know if susan collins knows this but she belongs to a body that has the constitutionally designated power to tell HHS to stop making these cuts because they do not have the authority to unilaterally refuse to spend congressional appropriations.

Erasure. At the National Institute of Health, posters of women and scientists of color have been taken down. Shared by @ivancalcantara.bsky.social

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

like the dictators they worship, the american right cannot distinguish between the aesthetic and appearance of power and actual power

“Steeped in the sounds of ‘90s alternative:” catnip for me. I haven’t heard of this artist or any song here, but I already know I’m gonna feel it

(me watching burglars break all the windows and climb into my house) “Just give it time. They might cut their hand on the glass.”

Lifetime achievement award for Beyoncé, quite possibly, but she deserves it #Grammys

Kendrick winning those awards blowing my mind #Grammys coming so far sometimes..strangely

Doechii’s gonna get some crazy momentum from tonight. Color me intrigued. Great performance #grammys

A review about a movie I’m seeing with my family later today that focuses on a police officer with a dog’s head and a human body. That second sentence is something special. I’ll post my review later

it's hard to read the chart in the screenshot but what this moron is actually complaining about isn't "DEI" staff, it's special education teachers. these ghouls are coming for people with disabilities and they aren't even shy about it.

Oh, that’s tasty

We’re back in the place where if you take a 5 hour news break you literally can’t figure out what people are talking about when you log back in. I hate this place.

We're finally dismantling the federal government! Sure hope it doesn't serve essential functions that I've taken for granted my whole life

FFS, state that I live in.

I’m enraged by the current political state of affairs. There’s so much abhorrent behavior, sure, and there’s so much “they’re breaking the law and the rules LOOK AT THEM omg” like things will change just because of that. I get that truth must be called out.. though we’ve been here before

Anyone else playing #Balatro? Nervous about spending a 10 spot on a mobile game, but I could play this for days. Also glad I’m not gambling actual dollars on this. #BalatroHive

This is just righteously true

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

I will always support libraries. Tax me more if it will support them

it's like AOC is the only person who is expressing an actual emotion here

1000% glad I’ve given up on “Twitter”

All probably in the name of efficiency. Completely reckless. When you need to review something, you don’t just walk into the room and push a big red button labeled “STOP” and do nothing until you’ve found the silver bullet

i do not understand the ideological impetus for this policy (or the NIH research freeze). it’s not clientelism, his constituents are the main recipients. it’s a death maximization strategy. like he’s entered a contract with some dark god and must deliver them souls

@kearnsn.bsky.social brilliant
