If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

Bluesky is absolutely unmatched for people who seem to agree with you but do it in such a bizarrely aggressive way you've gotta block anyway

If you think there can be any kind of valid justification for deporting a child with cancer, with none of their meds, and interrupting their treatment through the chaos and trauma of that experience- I am begging you to reflect on where your humanity has gone because at some point you parted with it

Labor and Delivery is a locked unit in all hospitals because you can’t have randos wandering around stealing babies, so allowing ICE on the unit is a choice. Best believe ICE is not getting on my labor deck and shame on any hospital that lets them on theirs

i would simply invent a spiraling that is upward

My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

Yo, check the map. Many important places would be up for sale, including Mono Hot Springs, Jackass Meadow, etc, etc. “The bill fails to give sovereign Tribal Nations the right of first refusal to bid on lands, even for areas that are a part of their traditional homelands or contain sacred sites.”

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

what the fuck they went to the santa fe springs swap meet

I think being out of the country and the days it's celebrated being different kept me from having time to think of and be sad about Father's Day. My dad would have loved what we did today here in Germany and that made me feel like he was with me

I'd have more patience for American flag discourse if the conversation didn't start 90% of the time with anti-Mexican racism 🇲🇽

I know this is controversial but I don't think we need to pay anybody to assault senior citizens. We can defund this 100%.

Apparently he used to paint them with the Hammer leading ladies in between takes. King.

Olli and I are watching the original Mulan cartoon and one of the very first captions said [OBJECT THRUSTING]

tangential but "these folks are tired" as newspeak for calling cops massive cranky babies who need a nap is very funny

I continue to both be baffled and amused by clothes dryers in Europe. Perhaps people barely use them because they are not good here!!

went to a (private) local car museum focused on german vehicles, some favorites that I'm sure @rossz28.bsky.social will get a kick out of seeing

“All violences matter”

This kind of surveillance and censorship is now ubiquitous in the United States and not just at the border. Someone should publish a letter in Harper’s about it. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Qantas withholding an Australian's phone for an entire 15 hour flight because a foreign government told them to should be a huge scandal. Make this news.

I am still thinking about dummy thicc margarine

Brighten your day. Historian rediscovers a pre-Incan method of water storage, gets money to restore the existing structures, and the town he grew up in now has access to water 10 hours a day, up from 1/2 hour per day. The details are v. cool. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

:)

I have now had apple strudel in a castle

I asked @ollicrusoe.bsky.social if modifizierte Stärke in the yogurt margarine means modified starch and he told me "yeah it makes it dummy thicc"

朝から来客準備でバタバタでしたが今日はグランプリ、宝塚記念。本命のメイショウタバル君が勝って歓喜号泣(でも馬券は外す、号泣)。さあ、呑むぞー🍺🍷🍷

Hearing from so many people, including people with their kids, who didn't feel safe after LAPD/LASD started attacking peaceful protesters — and then were unable to get home. If you took transit to DTLA and got stranded I'd love to hear from you

a big day for police doing what they’re good at: rioting against peaceful protesters and letting killers escape

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Whew the replies. People are ANGRY angry.

They are acting like they just captured Bin Laden

ohhh hello
