It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

me trying to convince a hunch of 20-something Thai fandom people fr9m Southeast Asia that the US bombing Iran does affect them!

the guilt you feel that makes you less likely to post about good things in your life is actually guilt that you aren't doing everything you can for the struggle. no one genuinely begrudges their own joy, and shouldn't

Mahmoud Khalil is free.

this series of taskmaster is the best one in a long time. fantastic cast all around and almost none of greg's judgments have annoyed me.

on one hand, I really want an upscaled 28 Days Later. on the other, I hate AI. (I'm currently watching it in its original form.)

hi, cis folks! check this one from @ericmgarcia.bsky.social detailing coy, deliberately obtuse dems statements about challenging the ban on trans care in the budget. then tap the thread. call. evidently they still worry this will hurt them. tell them standing for trans people is a winning issue.

watching clips of parks & recs... the scene with biden just makes his decline even more stark and sad. yeah, he's a genocide-enabling zionist, ICE-funding, career politician who got Thomas on scotus, prematurely drclared covid over, and kept almost no campaign promises. but still sorta sad.

Prison abolition is morally correct

nothing quite like a blond-haired, blue-eyed man in a brown uniform, eh, israel?

this is an important reminder to talk to stop snitch tagging too if I say “[politician] is a piece of shit,” and you come into the replies like “yeah, @ politician, you suck!”, so you get to do a fun lil dunk, you are inviting a swarm of bees into my home. knock it off

wait, sorry. jd vance is here?

You might be surprised to learn that this game has been getting trashed on YouTube by people saying things like, "bUt wHaT aBoUt WhItE fArMeRs iN SoUtH aFrIcA?!"

I think a lot of journalists and politicians thought that coming to Bluesky would get them praised and worshipped like it was 2017 Twitter and the fact that didn’t instantly happen has absolutely broken their brains

the parasocial relationships people have with karen read are soooo weird.

Advanced World War Tactics with General Melchett from Blackadder. 🫡 (Sound up!) youtu.be/rblfKREj50o?...

Eighteen Democratic senators joined Republicans to legalize this scam and funnel even more wealth and power to crypto billionaires. So much for the "resistance".

Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people. These bastards want us all dead.

sorry, how have democrats been voting on trump's appointees and bills? not being the same =/= to one is good and the other evil. harris is on RECORD that she wanted to leave trans rights up to the states. we know how that goes. meanwhile liberals accuse progressives of being one-issue.

ah, another morning rant to my friend about how the modern state of Israel is bad for the Jewish people, actually, and undercuts 2000 years of Jewish strength and resilience by saying we need a piece land in order to exist as a people. zionism will destroy the Jewish people.

in my queer kick ball league each team gets to choose their shirt color. mine chose cardinal red (not me! I look like a splotchy ghost in red). I asked the captan if it's cardinal like the bird or the catholics and he was like... definitely not catholics. but they're the same! sorry gay friends. 🥲

Why is the “political stunt” label objectively bad What do people think politics are

i don't expect much from my house rep, @amo.house.gov, but it's nice to dream about having at least one iota of a representative democracy in my lifetime. i wonder if they know that funding the military (ours and Israel's) less means we could fund libraries more? Maybe?

elder care in this country is a joke. my dad's doctor is being standoffish with me about filling out paperwork so my dad can get financial aid because we can't afford assisted living for him without help.

Gavin Newsom vetoed a data broker privacy bill that our legislature passed last year that would have allowed Californians to opt out of all data brokers with a single click.

It's pretty telling that the second part of the "Mamdani is a danger to Jewish new yorkers" pitch is always "so vote for sexual harasser shitbag Italian Catholic Andrew Cuomo" and not "so vote for Jewish Progressive Brad Lander"

not sure who needs to hear this but PRESIDENT OBAMA APPOINTED TOM HOMAN TO ICE IN IN 2013 AND GAVE HIM A MEDAL IN 2015. yes, trump is bad! very bad! but once he's gone, THINGS WILL STILL BE BAD, because people don't seem to gaf about protesting any of these things when they happen under Democrats.

I FIRMLY believe that if anyone with power had taken gamergate seriously, the country (and world) wouldn't even be close to how bad it is now.

we've been shouting about this since gamergate btw

the amount of christians who don't know the history of christianity or what makes different sects of christianity different will never cease to amaze me.

it still blows my mind anyone bothers to cheat at fortnite. like, why does nz up next シ need to solo a trios match and kill 28 people? what do they get from that other than reported?

I hope all those soldiers look around and realize who and what they're "just following orders" for.

sorry, bibi, our military is busy being deployed against our civillians. or marching in birthday parades. go ask the UK.

went to the local no kings protest and all i kept thinking was that there were THOUSANDS of us there and it seemed like such a waste of our majority to not take the state house by force instead of just chanting about a revolution. so anyway it was fine.
