What better way to observe the end of slavery than a rich old white man yelling to work harder.

Now is probably a good time for me to say I’m proud the City of Tampa fully recognizes today as a federal holiday instead of adding it to a flex package and doing business as normal.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

"Was it really this dumb in 2003" guys they renamed french fries

when you’re so racist you don’t let your workers have a day off for a holiday recognizing the end of slavery

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

Underneath all of those articles is a deep fury that Bluesky punishes instead of rewarding lazy and/or hostile engagement farming. Try to build a following here with trolling and slurs and you'll find yourself in a ghost town. To them that is simply intolerable.

It's always interesting to compare the numbers to the Tea Party protests and the respective coverage of them.

Thought this was a joke when I first saw it, but no it's real

I don't know if this needs to be said or not but "elected official assassinated in their home" is simply not a thing that happens in this country. 1825, 1889, 1893, 1973. Those are all the ones I can find, ever, before today.

Made it to the Tampa #nokings protest and it was massive!

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

The #NoKings march in Dallas, Texas is HUGE!

Peaceful people as far as the eye can see @ Baltimore No Kings!

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

it’s crazy how life for everyone has just gotten noticably worse immediately as trump became president again

I don't know how many times these people have to say "non-whites are not americans unless they are part of my inner circle, we want to do ethnic cleansing" before people start listening bsky.app/profile/pale...

Last night I was trying to explain Austin Power's type of humor to my son, and came up with "it's like Spaceballs but parodying James Bond" which I don't know if that's the best comparison, but I was going off movie's he's seen. Funny to see this today.

lol

Totally acknowledge that being a mid 40's guy blasting RATM while being mad at the fascist government is totally cliché. But damn did they nail anti-fascism messaging while being so damn catchy that even the freaks that RATM railed against, like Paul Ryan, cite the band as one of their favorites

Robert E. Lee was a traitor who took up arms against his country in an effort to preserve the institution of slavery. This is not hard.

This is — and I cannot stress this enough — a real government website right now. It is hosted on the Department of Commerce website (the Department of Commerce has no immigration functions whatsoever that I am aware of).

Stopped using X except very rare cases to something. Still have my account but deleted all my posts, etc. Realized I still have the app installed, and deleted it in case it does something malicious. E.g. location tracking though I doubt I gave it permission. The app should be considered malware.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.
