Never assume that you know a stranger or a friend's financial situation. You don't. So if you ask for donations & people don't give, you really need to keep it moving. There are 1000 reasons why folks don't give and those reasons aren't your business. Thank those who do give & move on.

Honestly we need a six season HBO multi-character show about the French Resistance, following both resisters and collaborators, with each season one year from 1940 to 1945.

🤮 It means the NYT continues to obfuscate instead of clarify.

I have enormous respect for @donie.bsky.social who is a brave, thorough & conscientious journalist, but I am once again begging the media to stop fetishising American neo-Nazis and their processes of radicalisation. There is ample academic literature that explains exactly how & why this happens.

Once again

No, I do not want to see a video about a three-time Trump supporting farmer regretting his vote because he has no market for his soybeans. Show me the farmer who voted in his neighbor’s best interest three times. I’d like to see that video.

Watching #nba and I can't stop thinking about Pam and Dwight from The Office every time they say 'Beasley' and 'Schroder'

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Parker perfectly summarizes the way media manipulators are so adept at obfuscating the truth in order to make money.

I’ve been laughing about this all morning

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Good morning everyone and especially fans of Dee AKA 'that guys got some good moves' from Sunny in Philadelphia.

One of my favorite Gatsby theories

me too. It makes me cringe to think how often I used it in my younger days.

You can doomscroll about the tariffs, the stock market and everything else more tomorrow

8:30 pm PST. MARKET CRISIS DEEPENING. Hang Seng falls 9.96% while HSI Volatility Index surges 43.63%. Nikkei stabilized at -6.48% after earlier -7.56% drop. What began as Japanese banking stress has become full regional contagion. Asian markets now facing their worst session since March 2020.

Elder millennials watching traders freak out about a global economic collapse that will wreck tens of millions of lives and livelihoods, possibly irreparably

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

THIS TABLE IS THE PERFECT HEIGHT JUST PUT THE FOOD DIWN EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL RIGHT CASE CLOSE

Today, thousands of openly-transgender service members will put on their uniform and do what needs to be done because they honor their oath to our country, while Pete Hegseth denigrates their service and violates his oath by brazenly sharing classified intel in text groups. Just a reminder.

💯

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

lol holy shit i'm reading the wiki for Bedtime for Bonzo (1951) starring Ronald Reagan and look how close a chimp came to altering the history of the entire goddamn planet

These get confused with one another. Journalism is a social practice: reporting the news. The Media is the attention business. The product is audiences. The Press is an institution that endures over time as people come in and out. The news industry is a seller of information with recency value.

It literally does not matter what Khalil’s views are. 100% irrelevant.

Memory is how we edit experience

I guess the big struggle with the news lately is that a lot of people in legacy media still seem to be convinced that they can remain unbiased towards cruelty, when at a certain point that just means you’re biased towards cruelty

@stonekettle.bsky.social I think this is the best photo I've ever taken and you were the first person I thought of. Social media is weird.

People who say the U.S. has never had gulags or programs are, once again, erasing Black people from American history.

It’s really too bad self righteousness doesn’t get us closer to collective liberation

Pete Buttigieg: “Even the greatest country, if it loses the rule of law, will not have much left.” REPOST if you stand with Pete Buttigieg!

FYI

If “first they came for” means anything: Trans people are clearly one of the first they’re coming for. Calls to go along with, even help that effort—because you think it’ll boost the party brand with some voters, or avoid dividing the working class, or whatever you tell yourself—deserve a hard no.
