ā€œWe shouldn’t have done it.ā€ YOU DON’T SAY, SAPD

The nice thing about #Trump vs #Musk (other than the inevitability and deliciousness of it) is the fact that these two assholes and their minions are beating up on each other for a change instead of the rest of us

If I didn’t know better I would say that some of the people over at @apnews.com saw a great chance to throw some shade 🤣

To make the company seem giving, they donate YOUR money.

I’m not normally a Luddite. I love technology - usually. But the fact that techies and corporations alike are celebrating ā€œadvancesā€ that will put millions out of work just shows they don’t care about regular people. AI should be outlawed. And UBI needs to be implemented to protect people.

Trump Burger restaurants in Texas have been inundated with calls from folks asking if they serve Chicken TACOs. They are asking that folks DO NOT CALL the restaurants in Bellville, TX at (979) 270-5062, Flatonia, TX at (361) 865-3893, Kemah, TX at (281) 532-6305, and Houston, TX at (346) 718-2850. šŸ”

Companies during Pride c. late 2010’s: Have a rainbow shirt. PURCHASE THIS BISEXUAL TOILET PLUNGER. CONSUME OUR PRODUCTS FA- Companies for 2025 Pride: What’s a gay? Is that a soup flavor? Sure we have pride merch in our signature bisexual beige. Now scram, you queers, before someone notices you

Yes. Let’s go!

Yeah, maybe in šŸŒ®ā€™s tiny little mind it will be. But reality has never been his strong suit.

SAPD already declaring that Jonathan Joss wasn’t targeted speaks volumes. They can try to sweep this under the rug all they want. People like me from San Antonio will demand both they, and the District Attorney, hold the killer accountable and be held accountable for their own failures here.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

These items are clearly off target

There are 7,591 words in the U.S. Constitution. Not one is "bible", "Jesus", "Judeo", "Christian" or "God". Separation of church and state guarantees ALL Americans the right to practice ANY religion. Or none. Which part of "religious freedom" is not as clear as a church bell?

If it’s sooooo hard for you, you can always quit, you Trump minion asshole

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Nice try unknown number, I don’t even answer calls from people I know

This is so infuriating. This law will destroy a huge industry and cost thousands their jobs at a time where the GOP has already fucked the economy. It will cause huge suffering among people who use THC products to heal themselves. It will deprive the state of much needed tax revenue. Who benefits?

I will enjoy the ensuing chaos when literally every non-Christian religious group out there sues the fuck out of the State of Texas demanding equal time.

Between nonsense like this and the push to remove David Hogg, it’s clear to me that @democrats.org will never let new voices challenge their leadership. It’s time for people to abandon the #Democrats and form a separate progressive party. Fuck the Dems’ nursing home entitlement party

I don’t rise and shine. I caffeinate and hope for the best.

I want a startlingly wide and diverse range of people and cultures in the world, because if everyone was exactly the same as me it would be~ 1: boring as fuck 2: awkward as hell getting laid

news stories about biden’s memory lapses would probably hit harder if the current president wasn’t a barely sentient potato

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

@danielkurz.bsky.social blocked replies to this because of the super-ratio he earned. But let’s be clear: he earned it. Comparing protesters against racially-charged legislation to the MAGA thugs who tried to overthrow democracy and hang a VP is asinine nonsense and itself a position of privilege.

To be fair, it’s the most truthful thing RFK has said

The super rich never need more money. They always just want more. Look at assholes like Bezos and Musk. Trump is no different. They all have the greedy man’s compulsion.

I implore both journalists and everyday people alike to stop calling all the cuts to various programs the #GOP wants to make ā€œreformsā€. They are not reforms. They are eviscerating programs for those in need to benefit the super rich. Language matters.

How about some basic rules? --All law enforcement officers should wear identification --No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks --All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams ...oh and... --All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

Exposing the names of the secret police is good, actually.

Sometimes I just stop, shake my head, and think how ridiculous it is watching my country be destroyed by a demented old man just because some white people are afraid of the future.

Maybe federal judges will realize it's time to stop dicking around and time to start throwing people in jail themselves.

We cannot run a society on the whims of the rich. TAX THEM. Publicly fund what we all need.

Nothing weird at all about #Temu. Nope.

🤣🤣

The carrot is that UBI will be great for GDP and the stock market because it's great for business thanks to creating new customers and widening the base of those with discretionary income to spend. It will also lead to more peace and less crime. The stick is that UBI will likely avoid guillotines.

AOC: That is the story that Republicans tell—not mine, but all of ours—when they say a waitress or a working person is unqualified to serve in Congress. But the truth is, many of us are far more qualified to understand what real life is actually like than any of them ever will be.

You always have to get the matching set. #catsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky
