ANDRE BLAKE 🐐 🙇‍♂️ #DOOP

Andre Blake is superhuman. #philadelphiaunion

This new team is taking some getting used to. It’s hard to see familiar faces go but excited to see what new potential there is #doop #philadelphiaunion #MLS

Wagner —> Baribo…GOAAAAL #DOOP

I never realized how much I loved my country until I started seeing a megalomaniac tear it limb from limb

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

How do we stop making the mistake of letting dictators brainwash and power grab and crumble governments? People of Bluesky, what are the most important things that we can change in America? How do we protect the press?? Trump claims expanded power over independent agencies

71 years old and finally achieving his dream of killing children. Not just some children here or there, like he's been doing, but thousands of children annually, systematically, by destroying one of the pillars of public health, one of the greatest achievements of humanity.

The biggest scam from billionaires and the powerful is how they convince so many people they deserve the power and wealth they’ve amassed, and you deserve less. A lot less.

And media is now well aware of Elon’s shenanigans removing posts that are critical of him, changing the algorithm to favor his posts, taking down Community notes that embarrass him. So why continue describing him as a “free speech absolutist,” we must ask.

Protesting genocide? It’ll get you banned from the NFL for life, and forcibly removed from the stadium

Birds with the early lead! #gobirds

Unfortunately, it seems this was a fake post. Journalism in this country is not currently functioning at this level

How does Christian America square this with their voting record? The evidence continues to pile up Christianity is as repulsive and hypocritical a faith as its critics suggest

Billionaires are a cancer on democracy. Billionaires are a cancer on democracy. Billionaires are a cancer on democracy.

“DeepSeek is the canary in the coal mine. It’s warning us that when there isn’t enough competition, our tech industry grows vulnerable to its Chinese rivals, threatening U.S. geopolitical power in the 21st century.” -Lina Khan, former FTC chair under Biden admin

“…the Union front office is continuing to alienate the fanbase at every possible turn. After all the losses last year, the Union will have signed just 2 new incoming players.” Yep.

Speechless. Letting all their talent go

Rep AOC points out private prisons will massively profit over mass imprisonment of immigrants, points out many in congress have invested in those private prison companies

Why can’t these traits of empathy, generosity, and kindness drive the policy and rhetoric of our politicians?

The first courageous dissenter emerges.

It would be terrible if someone flooded the snitch email with a million AI slop fake reports every day. I hope no one does that. It would be wrong.

Remember when JD Vance called Trump an “opioid?” Trump just pardoned the guy a judge called “the kingpin of a worldwide digital drug-trafficking enterprise” from a life sentence

They see a zero sum game, and they’re not letting any “outsiders” get a piece of the pie. Plenty of MAGA have served their purpose electing him, not long now until they feel his knife in their back, whether it’s for being a POC, LGBT, or just poor and foolish.

Dragging immigrants from hospitals. I doubt they’ll let them finish their IV infusions,

We love free markets, don’t we folks

Happy MLK Jr day! And nothing else. #fighttheoligarchy

And they’re waging war on our government, it’s already mostly theirs

JUST IN: Another team of Mexican firefighters has landed in LA to help combat the wildfires. Thank you, Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸

We’ve all heard a lotta chumps line up and claim they know where the Democrats went wrong, and most of them have been full of BS. This guy is the first I’ve heard put it together. I think he’s right

The idea of not needing to spend a fortune to create a great soccer/football team is one I can get behind, to an extent. We’ll see what happens. I still would have loved to see Leo Campana come to the Union…

Should have gone to Philadelphia Union. #sugarmanout

“Twitter (social media) isn’t interested in honest conversations, it’s interested in engagement. They want the world to be on fire” (paraphrasing) short clip, Bo Burnham

I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

Michael Moore with excellent response when harangued by multiple news media outlets to denounce Mangione and—generally—murder. His response: that he’s always been opposed murder and violence, and he won’t allow distraction from the central problem at hand: our health care system is BROKEN.

Comedian Josh Johnson does a better job exploring the complicated public reaction to Luigi Mangione better than any news source I’ve yet encountered. Brilliant—must watch.

Great news for Cavan Sullivan, not so great for Philadelphia Union. Passing on draft picks and losing their best homegrowns

The world didn’t get enough Robin Williams. Not sure it ever would have been enough

Bernie seems to be one of the only brave American leaders standing between democracy and a total collapse into fascism

More kow towing to the rapist king…by journalists…who’s next?

The more one knows about American health care systems, the more one sympathizes with desperate terroristic acts like Mangione’s. And one wonders why Bernie and Warren and AOC’s message of regulation and justice couldn’t get through

THIS is how it’s done, folks.

Here's an idea for the Democrats: Have a victim or two of Assad's torture chambers testify at Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation hearing.
