banana republic ass bullshit

🧵 A look at Tuesday’s #nyc Mayoral Candidate Forum: Fmr Comptroller Scott Stringer delivers his five-minute opener to Downtown Democrats — 📸 by me

AOC: The House is governed by a Republican majority. The Senate is governed by a Republican majority, and The White House has a Republican president. And if they want to pass their agenda, Republicans need to conjure up the votes to pass their own bills.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

This song remains strikingly relevant. Here’s hoping there are enough people in this era with the courage of Pete Seeger and Lee Hays

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

When you’re governed by weird racists everyone suffers (h/t: @gec.bsky.social)

There's deep irony in Air Traffic Controller shortages contributing to a crash at Ronald Reagan Airport, an airport named for the man who fired 11,000 ATCs and made the job forever less desirable and harder to fill by busting their union

Spoke to @ericreinhart.bsky.social for @salonnewsroom.bsky.social on his op-ed and some major editorial tweaks from the billionaire-owned Los Angeles Times: “You don't make last-minute cuts, without the author's explicit approval, that are going to change the fundamental interpretation.”

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

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual. We do not consent to this lawless power grab.

If it walks like a nazi and it talks like a nazi….

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

I just got a report that the Minneapolis VA has stopped hiring workers thanks to a hasty Trump Executive Order. They’ve rescinded offers to dozens of people who were going to fill critical roles to care for vets.

ICYMI, Spotify is literally serving caviar to right wingers with the earnings from all our music - this is from a Bloomberg report on the party they threw to celebrate the inauguration (Spotify also donated to Trump’s inauguration, according to Swedish media)

Print out fliers of Elon Musk's Nazi salute and place them in the windshield of every Tesla you see parked on the street

Nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared by the U.S. government to resettle in the U.S., including family members of active duty U.S. military personnel, are having their flights canceled under President Donald Trump's order suspending U.S. refugee programs. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

um

Democratic Sens. backing a deportation bill (and getting key facts about it wrong) in a state with a massive undocumented population is "shameful," critics say

The fact that Amazon workers were told to keep working in these conditions is unforgivable.

@yassaminansari.bsky.social, soon to be the youngest woman in congress and the Democratic freshman class president, on the Democratic Party: “There truly is a shift happening with young people getting more involved.”

Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.

Why didn't they just put the photos inside a glass case that only the manager can open

Is this my villain origin story?

Sirhan Sirhan got to RFK Jr.’s peen

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read and also explains tons of what’s wrong with the media “business”

"Who is THAT jackwad?"

"The decision not to publish was made by The Post’s owner — Amazon founder Jeff Bezos." I worked at the paper for seven years and Bezos never interfered with a thing. This is five-alarm fire stuff. www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...

Angela Davis endorsed Kamala Harris, commenting that fascism must be defeated and Harris is not the fascist on the ballot. Electing Harris "opens up space" for more radical actors. Note that Davis also endorsed Biden in 2020. Because Davis is antifascist.

Fascism has come to America. What else can you say? These images are just from today. He calls his enemies "vermin," wants to revoke media broadcast licenses, and foments hate against members of ethnic minority groups, whom he promises to deport by the millions in order to fix country's problems.

Stephen Miller speaking at Trump's rally has very familiar vibes.

You thought it was impossible, we all did, but he’s getting worse. And now we have data to show it.

SUN RA AND HIS ARKESTRA SPACE IS THE PLACE #SunRa

listen, i’m not saying Trump caused those two dudes to take a shot at him…but let’s not pretend like he had nothing to do with creating an atmosphere where dudes are taking shots at him (gift link)

A gem of an album that (along with circulating live recordings) completes the story of one of my all-time favorite bands. Thanks to @dadadrummer.bsky.social and co. for putting it out in the world

"It does not matter, to Vance, that these Haitian newcomers came here legally... that they reversed a slow collapse that has already sapped the life from so many former industrial towns." Made me think of pogroms. Deserves this gloves-off condemnation. If you haven't read it yet, gift link here:

one of the two major political parties in this country is made up of stochastic terrorists and it is increasingly the main way they conduct their electoral campaigns elections are still basically a coin flip

Do not let the conversation move on from this. This needs to be on the front page of every newspaper/website in the country

Oprah has plenty of far more laudable talent, but she also possesses a remarkable talent for sniffing out the scummiest sales talent in the world, promoting them, and getting a piece of the action. She has promoted more quackery than any soul alive, probably not even Trump himself.
