When you’ve learned to tolerate genocide abroad, it’s easy to accept eugenics at home.

The expected tariff market dip has begun... When there's blood on the streets...

Don’t wanna be reminded that Cory Booker is complicit in a genocide, or don’t wanna be reminded that you don’t care?

Yep

If you wonder who rules you, ask who you're not allowed to criticize... www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/u...

Duckworth: "Hegseth is the most unqualified sec def in history & this is further demonstrating his incompetence. He's literally leaking classified war plans via group chat...if you're our allies, I'd be thinking twice about sharing classified information...All these people need to lose their jobs"

Disingenuous people often ask why anyone would hate Israel? And why wouldn’t I or anyone else? It’s a settler-colonial project built on ethnic cleansing, sustained through brutal occupation, and justified with relentless propaganda. 1/ 🧵

They'll call you an antisemite for criticizing Israel's atrocities, but they'll never call you a liar...

A lot of people didn't believe George Carlin when he said, "It's a big club. And you ain't in it!" & it shows...

🙃

When you hear Trump & his supporters defend the detention of a Green Card holder by pretending to care about 1) antisemitism on campus, and 2) trespassing on college property, remember that Trump 1) hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & 2) pardoned violent insurrectionists.

Dear America: If they make protests illegal, it’s not a democracy anymore...

Every dip is a blessing. 💎✋🏽s win in the long term.

The current administration would like nothing better than for Americans to succumb to the current onslaught. To give in to the notion that the government will neither serve nor operate under the rule of law. None of us alone can stop it—but each of us can find ways to stand and support each other.

Re the ridiculous viral MAGA ‘USAID is funding Politico’ story: 1) a reminder of the power of the disinformation complex, enabled by Musk 2) a reminder to ‘neutral’ outlets like Politico that no matter how much ‘both sides’ journalism and knee-bending they offer, MAGA will always hate/attack them.

Another reminder of the power of rightwing propaganda and the failure of mainstream media coverage: more people probably have heard about USAID ‘funding’ Politico (it isn’t) than about USAID funding anti-malaria programs which were just cut off and frozen by Musk and Trump.

Is it me, or is Bluesky INFESTED with #cryptoscammers?

"The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention is without words after the billionaire Elon Musk gave the Nazi salute twice during his speech at the inauguration of President Donald Trump in the United States of America." www.lemkininstitute.com/red-flag-ale...

Trump during the election: No new wars! Trump after inauguration: We’re going to send the U.S. military in to conquer Gaza, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and the Panama Canal!

Elon says 90% of US aid never reaches communities. He confuses USAID's 90% reliance on intermediaries -- US companies delivering HIV drugs, WFP delivering food aid -- with waste. Comical if not so dangerous. @rachelbonnifield.bsky.social & I break down where aid goes: www.cgdev.org/blog/no-90-p...

“Audacious”? Truly disgusting.

for over a decade now, the dark matter of American politics has been the willingness of conservatives to simply threaten to murder anyone who disagrees with them. even after 1/6, it can't be confronted directly, because it is genuine failed state shit

Wherein the president tries to describe a resort hotel development and an ethnic cleansing simultaneously, and clearly forgets which one he is talking about several times.

A reminder that on this site folks may be aware that Trump got basically nothing new or substantive from Mexico or Canada but over on the other place, and out in parts of the real world, the GOP are successfully and ruthlessly spinning these as wins. They are messaging masters, Dems aren’t. Sorry 🤷🏽‍♂️

This is fine 🫠🙃

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
