Happy Pride Month 2025 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Be gay do crow stuff #pridemonth #pridecrows

happy pride month

the problem I think a lot of the centrist crowd has with bluesky is that they're much more likely to become the main character, by dint of being on the right of the political spectrum here while being prominent enough for their bad takes to get piled on on twitter, the nazis flatter them

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Had an encounter when checking the mail.

good morning, rin 🌞

The people at @smartelections.bsky.social are moving forward with a major lawsuit in NY over this obvious instance of fraud that took place in the 2024 Election... [ Reposted from @realdlhughley.bsky.social on Instagram ]

fe4 will be announced on a random tuesday afternoon with a Nintendo Today notification that says "Things are heating up in Jugdral!"

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

one of the problems with conceding the Republican framing on immigration is that it gives you no room to overhaul the fundamentally broken, evil institutions that enforce the system Dems have locked themselves into a rhetorical framework that treats these goons as heroes and are paying the price

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

The fact that the State Department is planning to open an Office of Remigration didn't get even anywhere close to the attention it deserved. Remigration is explicitly a European far-right/neo-Nazi word that in Europe refers quite explicitly to ethnic cleansing beyond simply immigration enforcement.

ICE Releases Gavin Newsom Beheading Video

Insane scenes in Downtown Los Angeles as the cops open fire indiscriminately on people milling about. The cops shattered a business’s windows while firing on a live-streaming journalist. Keep this in mind when people talk about the protesters causing property destruction. 🎥 : AXN News on YouTube

I have no problem with police showing up to a protest but their use of violence is undermining their legitimacy :/

-chefs can use ready meals to save time on cooking -zoos can use stuffed toys to save money on animals -bars can serve piss and cut out the middle man

"Were treated like dogs. Theyre making us lay on the floor. Were here to help Waymo" Its ok grandpa. The war ended 40 years ago. Go to sleep

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

Greta Thunberg and the Madleen offered a heart in a heartless world. They reminded us that Israel is deliberately starving an entire people - and the West could stop that at any moment. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE. jonathancohn.medium.com/a-tale-of-tw...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a clear and present danger to every person in the United States, and in fact in entire world. He must be REMOVED FROM OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.

More realistically, the people leading protests should be our new elected officials.

ICE ran out of water in less than a day when confronted by a peaceful protest in LA. The fascist threat from trump is paper thin and 100% dependent on people not pushing back on it.

Switch 2 thoughts: the device feels much more premium than I thought, with some weirdness exceptions, everything feels like it had a super solid iteration, free Palestine, and Mario Kart World free roam is pretty fun but not as realized an experience as just doing races.

Discworld QOTD, from Thud!

DHS really played themselves by posting possibly the hardest photos on the planet to go with this tweet

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

the problem with polls like this is that some will look at these numbers and assume average Americans arrived at these views by themselves and not because of decades of right wing anti immigrant propaganda

at the 9th century anglo saxon starbucks. the barista starts to say “Æthel-“ and the whole place stands up, ready to grab their drinks.

Portland proved this point. We didn't have to defund the police. We just stretched it's resources thin, and they ran out of money on their own. Multiple protests in multiple places over a certain length of time will do that. They didn't even have money for traffic cops after the protests were over.

I mean a) awesome but b) shit like this needs to be shared far and wide. Make it perfectly clear what the "violent protests" actually are. Good people protesting for others and the state enacting violence on them for it

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

"We can handle one 10,000-person protest, but ten 1000-person protests throughout the city will overwhelm us." -LAPD Chief Michel Moore in response to the 2020 uprising Decentralization is key. Elon Musk personally banned our Twitter account in 2022, but this post remains good advice today.

they made a 1997 rpg about this

So, since bad history is damaging: when the civil rights movement talked about "nonviolence" they meant a set of tactics. They planned actions for maximum disruption and intentionally defied police and laws. This is very different from how "peaceful protest" is meant by many using it today.

This, and it's what's missing from all the violence/non-violence/optics conversations: we need to make these guys have an absolutely atrocious time, and you can do 99% of that just by being where they are when they get there. Make them see the enemy in everyone they drive past

While praising Greta Thunberg be sure not to forget Marama Davidsons fight for Gaza putting herself in harms way by joining a freedom flotilla in 2016 which led her to be kidnapped by the IDF (This is in no way to diminish what Greta Thunberg is doing, it's amazing what she is doing) #nzpol

A few days early, but my favorite game of all time turns 18 this month!!!!! What!!! #twilightprincess #zelda #fanart
