Brilliant thread. You may be interested @rachelcleves.bsky.social

What? It’s all that’s ever mentioned …?

I think it’s interesting we didn’t see this sort of dramatic catastrophizing when tech nazis took over the federal government bsky.app/profile/mari...

Delighted for Zohran Mamdani, for the American left and for New York, it’s encouraging news, but the fact that they’ve gone through all that and he’s not even Mayor yet, it’s just a primary and we still have months left of this, is insane and dumb

Extraordinary read.

You don't understand! The ALP government has to support Israeli genocide, US war crimes, the destruction of the rule of law, and the north west gas shelf, because it only has a 51 seat lead on the Coalition. Something something Murdoch. They're really progressive, I swear.

People should just admit that they're pro war, no need to do tortured "if I were a pansexual disabled autistic Palestinian woman from Jabalia I would support the entire Gaza Strip being eradicated" bit. Nobody actually believes this shit.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Why does everyone think that the US is not precisely what they always say they are…..

It's important to acknowledge when we discuss why a minority of young men are attracted to the radical right that part of the answer is "they're obnoxious". It's not all about being dispossessed and left behind it's also twats.

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

Sorry do not have the artist. Was sent me, brilliant.

The blanket derision of this subject is stupid I think. Historians take shortcuts ALL the time. How many of my colleagues just read my last book by skimming and using the index? Loads, as the author points out… 1.

ā€œI’m a neurotic catastrophist,ā€ she says. ā€œI feel like we could just subtitle [this period] ā€˜the vindication of the neurotic catastrophist’.ā€

In Australia, Donald Trump’s 1986–87 bid to build Sydney’s first casino was rejected after police warned the New South Wales government of potential ties to organized crime, according to cabinet records revealed in 2017.
