Since republicans want to raise our prices, start putting this under their posts 🫡‼️

Stock market is tumbling. Eggs prices are skyrocketing. China is beating us in AI development. Trump's on the golf course. We deserve better.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

JD Vance really is a loathsome person. They made you feel small at Yale so let’s burn the republic to the ground. Didn’t feel at home in your own skin in the valley so you jumped onboard smashing the whole National project. What a contemptible little worm.

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely. The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

the thing is that bluesky, for all its growth, still doesn’t have a right wing ecosystem big enough to support accounts like Loomer without the rest of us these people thrive on negative engagement and you cannot quote dunk them off the app, but you can make it so boring and useless that they leave

never a bad time to re-share this gem

Labour should be banned from Pride until such time that they have undone this vile policy and kicked Wes Streeting into the sun.

A staggering statistic: Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a *9 percent* increase in the estimated homelessness rate, according to a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The math of our housing crisis is brutally clear.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Social media sites are places to potentially first hear about news, but they’re not where you should get detailed information for that news. Even well-meaning people might have facts wrong, or phrase things misleadingly. If it’s important at all, look into it beyond social media.

Exaggerated fears that we might build the wrong kind of new housing are weaponized to prevent us from building any new housing.

I wrote about how fighting Trump 2.0 will require disobedience from outside the government — and from within. Here’s one way to push back against Trump's authoritarian agenda.

Does anyone really believe Trump wouldn’t have abused the pardon power if Biden hadn’t pardoned Hunter? Trump’s going to be unhinged either way.

It’s Official…

I’m really getting sick of tech forcing behavior changes in order to generate more quantifiable data. “I can’t clearly measure/monetize how people use this feature. Let me add 2 steps to the process so they use it how I want”. -unread button -feeds -links

@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social can you please, please stop with the pictures of Elon as a woman and feminizing his name as an insult??? It’s extremely misogynistic and it normalizes misgendering. It has actual consequences for some of us. Other trans users should amplify this message as well.

What does Jude Law have on Disney execs? A gorgeous man I am always happy to see more of, but… how many times can he play the hot mentor (or younger hotter incarnation of an eventual mentor) to the chosen one?

US lifespan in 1900 was 47.3 years. Leading causes of death included pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis, diphtheria, smallpox, pertussis, measles, and typhoid fever. Vaccines are a big part of why we now live about 30 years longer. What fool wants to bring back deadly diseases?

This is great!

Democrats don’t just need a 50 state strategy; they need a 365 strategy. No more reacting to politics. Set goals, know what you want to focus on every day, put that focus out first and leverage whatever wild shit Republicans are doing to make the point. Repeat until it’s drilled in.

another curmudgeonly thread for the many of you who will be entering organizing spaces. all other things being equal, when confronted with one team of people recruiting you to Be a Thing and another team recruiting you to Do a Thing, please give serious thought to joining the second.

When you're feeling down and out, watch out for the bird coming to fuck your shit up. (Wait for it... )
