I could never be friends with someone who thinks I am fundamentally unworthy of equality.

Men are gonna neg the human race out of existence.

Pretty clear now Trump and Miller are proud of this Salvadoran gulag they've built, and are not going to give it up. It's complete madness. bsky.app/profile/asha...

The North American Building Trade Unions are calling for the return of their member, Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who is the victim of human trafficking by our government.

I am under no obligation to invite, tolerate, or share space with shitty people. When they show up, I will chase them away. Shut up.

An actual ad on the social media website run by the co-President of the United States

The apathy he planted and cultivated via convincing people of his inevitable ascendancy and that he alone... Ego to the LEFT of me. Ego to the right. www.rawstory.com/bernie-rally/

This kind of naivety is so useless. The right wing are the most mask off assholes we've seen in 90 years, why should I hear their side? I know what they have to say and it fucking sucks. "Balance" isn't a virtue, especially when one side is full of exterminationist psychos.

This is minor, and given that all else going on, might even seem benign. But nonetheless: a sitting President attending a UFC match with 4 senior cabinet officials and the richest man in the world is completely nuts. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

This is one of the things that concerns me a lot... EVEN IF we win in 2026 (take back Congress) and 2028 (take back the White House), we'd need Democrats in charge for literally DECADES to repair all the damage we've seen in just 100 days. And I don't think the electorate has that kind of patience.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

I tried to see if I could schedule an appointment to get a REAL ID in Massachusetts for after I get back to the U.S. on April 20th, and naturally, there’s nothing available. This will go great.

A THREAD 🧵: Why “studying” the vaccine-autism link again is dangerous pseudoscience and not “open-minded inquiry”

If I were an American magazine I simply would not pay an expat to write about American culture from France

One day someone has to do a thorough analysis of the way the so-called left set out to destroy the reputation of a Black woman prosecutor because they thought it would help their white savior win the 2020 Democratic nomination. And then, when he still failed to do so, they blamed TWO Black men.

Remember, the Trump Adminstration made it a humanitarian priority to bring back Andrew Tate from Romania.

The market also shouldn't rally in general, because every other business dependent on Chinese suppliers will still be subject to total tariff rates of 145%, 25% on non-USMCA goods from Canada and Mexico, and 10% on imports from everywhere else. Many small businesses in the US will have to close.

The principle at stake here is so fundamental it predates even Magna Carta in English law, and before that stretching all the way back to Rome, and has its similarly ancient equivalents in every legal system in the world, because it's the inherent bedrock foundation of what courts and laws are for.

Every thing you do, no matter how small, to remind people that the wannabe dictators are actually sad, scared, fallible little boys is helpful. The more we laugh at them, the less fearsome they are and the easier it is to wrest power back from them. Also? These messages are effing hilarious.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

Used this analogy when explaining to the teen, but to point out that in the end, when the hyenas realize Scar has destroyed everything, they turn on him. Simba doesn't kill him; his own underlings tear him apart.

Has this happened to you or anyone you know? Please let the folks at @sydmorningherald.bsky.social know here: [email protected] (PS anyone thinking about travelling to the US should read this and spend their money elsewhere)

“The reporter from MyPillow asked the White House press secretary why the president looks so healthy and robust” is a true sentence that exists in our current reality.
