I’m in Tennessee right now, so I’ll just remind everyone that Rep. John Rose (R-TN) married his wife when he was 45 and she was still an undergrad in college. They met when she was in high school.

If I was a reporter I'd ask him to identify two other holidays that should not be days off of work when they predictably deny that this has anything to do with the substance of Juneteenth

And what if we told that human, "AI is WONDERFUL!... oh and, by the way, your electric bill is going to go up by about 5% a year to pay for it - whether you use it or not, or even like it."

Billionaires pay less in taxes as a percent of their total wealth and income than average Americans. That's the important part.

Huh, that’s weird, I just developed a policy that says I don’t have to pay federal income tax, I’ll be sure to tell that to the IRS when they show up

I've said this before and I'll say this again -- why FIFA and IOC think having the 26 World Cup and 28 Summer Olympics in the United States will be anything but a disaster for non-white athletes is beyond me. Below is a preview of what to expect. This is fascistic.

Love how this administration talks about LA like it's fucking Dresden in 1945. Let me go instead, you babies. I've been craving a jalapeno egg burrito from the Tacos Por Favor on Olympic for like six months now.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

As International Yoga Day is coming up this weekend, a reminder that the day was created by a Hindu nationalist and is rooted in oppression, not liberation. --> www.thenation.com/article/cult... --> www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

SO TO CLARIFY - i've tried hard to get into anime and mostly failed aside from yuri!!! on ice, but the character in this game was created as an NPC in a DIFFERENT monsterhearts game run by @ajessofalltrades.bsky.social because we didn't have anyone low enough on the social pecking order.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Good thread... disappointing number of "why does it matter" responses. The lack of interest in facts and information by "well meaning" "good" folks is as bad as those who simply consume mis- and dis- information as fact.

"If you’re the first lawyer who cites a nonexistent case because of ChatGPT, that’s on ChatGPT. If you’re the 100th, that’s on you." IF YOU'RE THE FIRST, THAT'S ON YOU!!! WHAT THE FUCK??? IF YOU'RE A LAWYER WHO CITES A NONEXISTENT CASE BECAUSE OF CHATGPT YOU DESERVE TO GET CAPE FEAR'D.

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

America's secret police just detained a guy who might be Mayor of New York City and his NYPD escort. We have to abolish ICE. That should be the baseline Democratic Party position.

From the AP: Lander replies, as he's being handcuffed, "I'm not obstructing, I'm standing right here in the hallway." "You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens asking for a judicial warrant," Lander said as he was led away down a hallway and into an elevator.
