A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

@nighthiker.bsky.social hey! I didn't know you were on here! Or that I had friended you!

ICE agents are attempting to enter DC public schools today, have been turned away at least one school so far.

Marlie was very brave and worked very hard at her first fencing tournament. We were very proud of her!

Our new cat...his name is Ollie.

"As a nurse, I spoke up for my patients at risk of ICE raids. Then, Chaya Raichik of LibsofTikTok and her followers doxxed both me and my child." Read Texas-based ICU nurse Maegan Gross's op-ed for COURIER on how the far-right tried to silence her ⬇️

After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work. "Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP. So much government efficiency going on. What a joke.

Canceling the measurement of economic impacts from climate change doesn’t make those costs — estimated to be nearly $2 trillion for the U.S. economy this decade — go away. Instead, it will likely have the effect of pushing them onto citizens. By @abrahm.bsky.social

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

I am through with Twitter. Bye, girl!

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

That’s right—little Shield just repeated what he heard his dad, the Shadow President, say.

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

“Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.” Albert Camus

To be clear, it's not a mistake that grants to train special ed teachers were cancelled. MAGA absolutely considers those to be verboten "DEI," and Silicon Valley considers them contrary to their eugenics project.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

The next step will be California trying to secede and then things will get *really* wild.

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

I am finally delivering my grand thesis: the tech industry is the post-Brady Patriots, and we are in the Josh McDaniels era of tech CEOs

A day after signing steep new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, Trump finally acknowledged what economists, members of Congress, and even some of his own aides — in their previous lives — have been saying all along: Americans may find themselves paying the costs.

Trump’s message to his cult followers in short: “Enjoy astronomically expensive coffee and maple syrup with your nonexistent eggs, suckers & losers!”

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

I suppose we have to do fun things here to make it work....I got a zero.

Awe.

we’re all just stoked to hear Mel Gibson’s ideas about what needs to change in Hollywood

Would be based if this could ever happen. Could you imagine voting for a party that actually represents your views? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Hard to reconcile the nation that put a man on the moon is the same nation that put a moron in the White House.

I’m gonna be using this meme a whole lot over these next four years 👇🏻

I hope that the meteor really destroys everything. I don’t want future archaeologists to know we were saying stuff like this

This is a fascinating turn of events

Why is the media like this?
