ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs

Zelenskyy went into that nest of vipers and roasted them all. Good. They all exposed themselves, they demeaned themselves in a way that was undeniable. Perfect.

we may be one of the few pubs that got this headline right Trump And Vance Ambush Zelensky In Prelude To Betrayal talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-a...

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

I am once again asking for your support in destroying a fascist snitch line

REMEMBER KIDS when flooding a snitch form, DON’T use obvious troll responses that can be filtered out with a query Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down. This poisons the entire data pool and makes it useless

Why I’m quoting instead of simply reposting when I don’t have the words for this, I don’t know yet. Maybe it’s to add one pitiful droplet of honor, a moment more of presence, where nothing was given and everything was taken away. This fucking country, this fucking world.

911, what is your emergency? Okay, promise you won’t be mad, though?

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

They're juicing the numbers already.

remarkable bravery

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Elon Musk, who has taken control of the US Treasury and is bragging about unilaterally cutting off payments to disfavored populations worldwide in defiance of Congress and the American people, is nowhere to be found on the homepage of the New York Times. @nytimes.com, this is pathetic.

i don't have a joke here, i just think it's rad as hell that this guy is making tiny tiny homes that are attached to bikes for people experiencing homelessness in toronto

Please stop what you’re doing and take in this spectacular story. It won’t take long and you’ll be grateful that you did but you might cry a little. Heads up on that point. Thank you, @annasplat.bsky.social, for being brave and going in to retrieve Arland Williams for us.

Marco Rubio is suspending the passport applications of trans people. Marco Rubio was confirmed by the Senate unanimously. Every Democrat voted for him.

surprised by this week? people were sounding the alarm months ago 👇

Do not expect the institutions to hold. Anyone who is citing law or policy as a reason why Trump can’t or won’t do X, Y, Z is either delusional themselves, or an institutionalist—whether by belief or necessity because of their job— and is not to be trusted.

Horror movie idea where Rajeev Surendra has to live as me in my house and my life. He can’t change anything. He is forced to describe why this way of living is good and demonstrate how to do it.

ICE active in Seattle and Northgate, per Reddit reports who have called them in. Not a fucking word. Don’t even say “I don’t know him.” Assert your rights to silence.

the scientist who does experiments on me died so i’m just pigging out on the stuff in his vials and beakers until the lady says i can go

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

We need help. Real help. Not some bullshit platitudes, or walking on eggshells worried you’ll say the wrong thing. Actual support and community.

I was a few minutes late to the collective field for the David Lynch meditation but I didn’t get turned away and I stayed late to close and I’m glad I went

Sometimes I forget that I don’t have to keep following whoever’s supposed to be cool who came in a starter pack. I get all resigned. “This is Bluesky, this is just how it is, this is the vibe. I better just suck it up.” And then I’m like WAIT, THAT’S JUST SOME GUY I DIDN’T MEAN TO ORDER, I’M FREE
