Always with the quid pro quo. The narcissist psychopath is incapable of feeling empathy for anyone and his "cabinet" is now full of people with similarly disordered minds. It's truly heartbreaking to watch Zelenskyy try to save his country from the wolves that now beset them on all sides.

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

Underrated aspect of the Chris Kluwe video is him wearing a Tecmo Bowl hoodie

A statement from the new government media

New Jersey had TEN YEARS to prepare for congestion tolls. TEN YEARS to upgrade public transit and help New Jerseyans to get into the city. You have been nothing but absolutely vile on this topic. You have expressed nothing but whining and complaining and self-righteousness. Literally how dare you

Thinking everything is a distraction is classic wishful thinking to avoid doing literally anything. The fascism is the point. All the things they do are serious.

Important @asharangappa.bsky.social piece on unique danger of Kash Patel as FBI Director. The FBI can cause great harm *acting lawfully*. DOJ rules limiting its behavior can easily be changed or ignored. Please circulate and maybe we can get to 51 nos! 1/2 www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

When people and students ask me about what to be done about nobody trusting The Media anymore i immediately say oh we long ago hit the point of no return, sry. It’s like asking what can we do about nobody buying Palm Pilots anymore

understand that ICE is the enemy of all of us, not just undocumented immigrants. understand that and stand against them.

'La Haine is an exploration of the tensions between French culture and that of its immigrant population. It’s also a film about boredom, and what happens to fill it under a climate of racism and police brutality' Low Culture Podcast: #LaHaine buff.ly/41jCSCw

OMFG John Roberts is an opus-dei freak too. This makes total sense.

The JD Vance team flagged my TikToks for impersonation and had my account banned for making fun of him in a doughnut shop.

i never tell the truth about anything, not even videogames. i feel i am ugly so have undergone millions in plastic surgery. i use IVF to ensure my offspring are male. i do not interact with said offspring, except one, who i am trying to make into mini-me. it's me, the person with the best genetics.

1) you should read this thread 2) if Kelton doesn't make it, his replacement's sole qualification will be that one time he made a racist joke about the weather on the groyper Discord channel

All Patton, no Bradley.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

Reminded at times like these of @rickperlstein.bsky.social’s brief aside in ‘Nixonland’ about John Kenneth Galbraith testifying before Congress that any company that did more than 75% of its business with the Pentagon should simply be nationalized:

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

JFC. It’s out in the open now. Republicans want to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion. The ENTIRE budget of Medicaid is $880 billion.

1) what would they be doing differently if Russia were explicitly giving them orders? 2) this is the same low trust/every man for himself nonsense undergirding the push to eliminate FEMA

They want the church scene in Kingsman. Everyone in one church but atomized and at each others throats.

What annoys me most about the anti-DEI attacks: We already rolled back, then ended affirmative action. Ask yourself: Where is this going? What more do they want? If we roll back & then end DEI, what's next? Remember, theirs is a political movement that wants to position empathy itself as a vice...

This is important news for any US business people rushing to pay foreign bribes now.

Here's Looking At You, Kids Captain Elon's teen-aged incels aren't the usual suspects, but out of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, they walked into the Treasury Building. Is this the beginning of a beautiful friendship? Only if Don plays it again in 2028. by Maureen Dowd

This is, not incidentally, Vance using his post-Spotlight embrace of tradcath creepiness to insist that we should do nothing for those among us who have the least.

Hello he lied. Works for a lot around these dudes.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

The Union of Concerned Scientists studied 18 U.S. military installations to determine the effects of climate change and found 16 of the 18 could flood 100 times per year by 2050 with even moderate sea level rise.

I repeat: to each of you who responds to any post about law with “don’t you know the law doesn’t exist any more mannnnnnnn,” I have been adequately notified of this. Your efforts are more needed elsewhere. Go, go. For the good of the city!

As an older, white woman, I watched the halftime show understanding that it was rife with messages, but I didn't have the language -- linguistic or symbolic -- to appreciate it. Since then, I've been trying to educate myself and decode the messages. This helps a lot.

There’s a lot of noise over the Letter to the US Bishops by the Pope. Already he’s being treated as a hero for defending refugees & smacking down the religious stupidity of the US VP. But what’s most disturbing is what he leaves out.

can i just say that in addition to being a bad thinker this dude is just a bad writer as well. "axiomatically true." just say self-evident!

essential reading from @www.bugbeardispatch.com on the scholars “rushing to launder the reputation not just of Christianity, but of Christian nationalism itself” now that (hmm!) those advancing Christian nationalist politics are in power
