I may have misheard--is it true that every committee in the House and Senate in 2025 will be headed by men? Isn't this macho shit getting a little ridiculous?

🧵London Calling, a song released by the Clash in 1979 can be tied to current world events. Lyrics are about climate threats like Three Mile Island incident (“a nuclear error”) and concerns of the potential flooding of the River Thames (“London is drowning”). Just for you @USMC86.bsky.social 🫡✊

A statement from The Onion about InfoWars.

Almost half of NC voted for Harris. We elected a Democratic Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, SoS, Sup of Public Instruction, broke the GOP state legislature’s supermajority, and just prevailed in a razor-thin Supreme Court contest. Sure, we may still be a Red State, but we also slapped on a nice coat of Blue!

Dear Democrats, you could lead the world in post pandemic recovery. Fox News will tell everyone the economy is in crisis. You could add millions of jobs. Elon will tell everyone the migrants are stealing them. You have a massive information flow problem. Deploy counter measures.

Christina Cooke wrote this incredible story for @bittersouth.bsky.social abt Patrick Brown, a fourth-generation Black farmer in NC who purchased the plantation where his ancestors were enslaved. Had the privilege of documenting Patrick & his fam for the story. bittersoutherner.com/feature/2024...

Even if you don't live in the South. You should read the Bitter Southerner. Art, culture, story, and resistance for a better world.

This we need

It’s the little things.

Did you know that Elon and Trump want to start using the same AI claim denial process used by United Health at the Department of Veterans Affairs? Just thought you might want to know.

Nope. I'm not buying it. He's scared of Trump and wants in on the party.

The man who Trump is appointing to run the office to reduce federal funding (to save money) wants to defund a private organization that does not get federal funding. Idiot.

World's richest ignoramus. He doesn't know how anything works.

BREAKING: Renowned former federal prosecutor Harry Litman announces he has resigned from his role as a contributor for the LA Times. "I don’t want to continue to work for a paper that is appeasing Trump and facilitating his assault on democratic rule for craven reasons."

Yes, Biden should preemptively pardon Liz Cheney -- and frankly anyone who was a patriot and who Trump will abuse his power to hurt.

Rep. Dan Meuser just now: "This is nonsense. Nobody is gonna be going after Liz Cheney." Trump in July: *calls for Liz Cheney to be tried for treason during a televised military tribunal* (www.cnn.com/2024/07/02/p...)

Listen @bittersouth.bsky.social has been doing magic in community journalism for over a decade

lol! sounds about right! 😂!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it. User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people. If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it. Moderation is great Really helps engagement

Biden was a blessing to Americans.

Meanwhile in Florida, not all things are bad! Just look at this cutie! 💕🌲💕🙏!

Home insurance in areas hit by repetitive disasters is going to be the number one housing affordability issue over the next 4 years. And possibly going into the midterms. More so than interest rates. Florida in particular is going to have huge problems.

Two people were killed and two others were injured after a shooting at a baby shower in Florida on Saturday, but you might not have heard about it because it’s the sort of thing that happens every single day in America. It’s long past time we did something about that.

While many in the pundit class are apoplectic about the president’s pardon, the early reaction of Democrats online appears to be overwhelmingly supportive. Seems that people prefer their elected officials to be aggressive in combating overreach by the MAGA crowd.

The most important thing to keep in mind when seeing all of the opinion pieces on the president pardoning his son is that Donald Trump is assembling the most extreme and dangerous administration in our nation’s history and we really should be focusing our attention on that.

There seems to be a vast under-appreciation for the lines we’ve crossed and the world we’re in. Trump’s win has basically put us in a post-rules world. People in power don’t feel constrained by rules and any remaining checks don’t feel empowered to be checks. This reality has not set in yet.

Joe Biden is a good & decent man. He is a public servant who has always strived and try to do what he believes is best for all. Joe Biden is also an amazing father. Today, he did what was best… what was right… what was just.

Obama's '08 campaign won the biggest margin of victory in the last 30+ years. Within hours of his inauguration, Republicans went to dinner and agreed to oppose him on every single item. Two years later, they won 63 House seats and 6 Senate seats.

I would have thought the same could be said about the next president of the United States, but alas

🧵Growing outbreaks of vaccine preventable, severe disease in kids: A grim thread “As of Nov 9, which marks the latest data available from the CDC, there were more than 23,500 cases of whooping cough reported so far this year. That’s far and above the roughly 5,000 cases confirmed in all of 2023”

I LOVE that President Biden pardoned his son Hunter. I HATE that he had to do that because Donald Trump is so insecure and demented that he would imprison Hunter Biden just to try and hurt Joe.

Folks don't seem to understand why Biden pardoned Hunter from 2014 to present. That's because David Weiss had repeatedly decided he couldn't charge Burisma allegations from 2014 and 2015, but Kash Patel and others were insistent he should be charged for something w/Burisma.

This is huge. The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries 👇 www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/e...

Raise your hand if you think Biden should issue pardons to all possible targets of Trump’s retribution.

Richard Nixon was pardoned. That set a precedent for corrupt Republicans. Joe Biden stopped the political abuse of his son. He was right and fair to pardon Hunter.

If you voted for a billionaire you’re not on the side of the working class you dumb fuck.

Of course they are
