Jasmine Crockett nailed it! She explains EXACTLY why MAGA is going after DEI. " They don't want any more Kamala Harris's. They don't want any more Jasmine Crockett's. But I got news for them. I don't care what they do. We will fight to the end to make sure that we get our due."

I wish all Democrats had the same level of fight in them like badass Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.

This is, in part, why folks like Sherman and Sheridan advocated for the total destruction of the Confederacy. They were fully aware that anything short of its complete destruction and the prosecution of former Confederates would lead to the maintenance of the ideology of the CSA.

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state. How's everyone else doing?

He's taking us back about 3 three centuries. Very clever way to knock out another voting block of folks too. Trump will disenfranchise most of us if he gets his way. We will never "have" to vote again. bsky.app/profile/jcth...

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

Unreal — after Impact Plastics workers died in the floods during the East TN storm because they didn’t get out in time (allegedly they weren’t allowed to leave), the company sent families of the deceased workers fast food gift cards. 😳 www.wsmv.com/2025/01/08/y...

"The same government that maintains a sprawling surveillance apparatus targeting Muslim communities, operates a discriminatory watchlist system, and continues to run Guantanamo Bay now wants to lecture America about 'countering Islamophobia.' The contempt for Muslim lives ... is staggering."

Official Bluesky moderation tags are not about “we’re not gonna make the effort to deal with this” they’re often (but not always because the system isn’t perfect) “the auto-moderation tagged them so watch out for this person until we can get to them.”

It’s so interesting to see these urgent exhortations to reestablish decorum. I have not seen evidence of a “coarsening” of American society. If anything, the opposite: I’ve seen thousands of individuals asserting their humanity and protesting the indignity of the system UHC profits from.

This whole thread. One of the drums I consistently bang on is the idea that the majority of “civility” requirements is code for “the way we hurt you is polite and therefore allowed and you may not complain; the way you hurt us is rude and boorish and therefore you do not matter.”

For those just tuning in: I'm an American born in Korea, and I typically work out of the US. This week I am working out of Seoul. I have no particular expertise in Korean politics. Me being at the protests during the declaration of martial law is just a weird fucking thing that happened.

LibsofTikTok has been suspended from Bluesky. If you have read any of the major-media reports suggesting a strong possibility that posts from that account on Twitter were a co-cause of subsequent threats against various nonprofits by readers of that feed, you are as happy to hear this news as I am.

I am convinced that the best way to understand how the Trump admin is going to work is to look at the invasion of Iraq.

Idk what it is, but this picture fascinates me. JFK just pulled up to Appalachia and said, “I want you to tell me what you need.” Call me crazy, because yes, times are different, but I see the vision. We need more of this!

this has always been the problem with trying to shift coverage rightward to achieve some mythical “balance” the people who are complaining about liberal bias are not doing so in good faith, and will stick with their own propaganda networks rather than watch/read your real audience will leave
