couldn't stop thinking about DOJ threatening prosecutions for Trump's petty grievances (especially when the grievance in question is constitutionally protected speech by a sitting congressmember!!) so I did what I do when I can't stop thinking about something* ballsandstrikes.org/ethics-accou...

More disingenuous nonsense. The CEO is unsympathetic because he’s responsible for killing people. Homeless people are not denying folks life-saving treatments. This is bullshit

Pathetic! Elon Musk & his mother joined the Trump MAGA cult family for Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago instead of being with his 12 children from 3 different women. Sylvester Stallone also attended. AND Mark Zuckerberg visited Trump's resort on Wednesday.

New video from 2023 shows Nancy Mace calling herself “pro-transgender rights” and said she supported children exploring gender identities with different hairstyles, clothing, and pronouns. The performative nature of her recent turn to transphobia and hatred is doubly disgusting.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Piers Morgan: “50 years ago, before Roe came in, it wasn't a federal law. So why are you so exercised about it?" BTC: "Prior to Black people having the right to vote, they weren't allowed to vote. I'd be worked up if that was rolled back, too.“

“Safety for children” will always be used as a dog-whistle for the worst kind of actual violence against trans people. The reaction of the American mind is well-studied by bigots to make their most convincing arguments. Doesn’t matter if it lacks any factual info, fear is a more powerful motivator.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

The idea that Bluesky is insular and X is a place for diverse views is a fallacy. X is based on an algorithm rigged to push the views of Musk and others on the far right. Bluesky is open. You can make it whatever you want it to be.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

Trump's people might be floating this court-martial thing to distract everyone from his Cabinet picks. Maybe. But even as a head-fake, it's a direct attack on the norms of American civil-military relations and a reminder that Trump wants loyalty to him, not the Constitution.

again tapping the sign: if you live in an urban area you are probably at most a mile away from people with much different political, religious, and economic experiences and perspectives than you. if you feel strongly that you need to experience cultural friction you very much can, now, for free

the people who complain most about echo chambers also complain most about diversity so not sure i'v taking either objection seriously

TBH I’m surprised Trump’s transition team is concerned about this. They didn’t seem to flinch at Pete Hegseth’s Nazi tattoos and Trump was convicted of sexual assault himself.

If this MSNBC story about courts-martial is confirmed, I'm begging people - especially writers and reporters - do not fall for the Trump line that this is about Afghanistan. This is about Trump seeking revenge on the people who woudn't him do things like shoot American protesters.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it. Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.
