Here’s a wacky idea: Have someone copy-edit the piece *before* you publish it. Remember, like everyone did for the entire 20th century?

the modal protestor is going to be a retired elementary school teacher in a big sun hat who wears her little-old-ladydom like armor. it is true that there are risks but the risks are not especially large.

They should do a Godfather remake with animated cats where it’s exactly as violent but when a cat says that someone sleeps with the fishes they all turn to the camera and wink because kitty cats love fish, and then right back to the explicit horrifying violence

One thing that stood out really powerfully in last night's mayoral debate is that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander both operate from the premise that New York City is a wonderful and beautiful and precious place. Andrew Cuomo does not.

omg it’s a movement

My grandmother was a young pregnant Jewish woman alone on a train in Poland during WWII when a German soldier told her to get off at the next stop because there wouldn't be any soldiers waiting at the station. She survived because, in that moment, a soldier chose the right thing over obeying orders.

Brad Lander really is a champion and in any other race I’d be ride or die to see him as mayor. And the fact that he’s doing this is a further sign of how much he’s really in this because he wants to serve his city, not climb political ladders. I’m proud to rank him #2

Nice that @lvmpd.com is here on Bluesky. Would be nice if they explained why their officers are cool with violating First Amendment rights of the people they're supposed to be protecting. Anyone who flips out at "honor your oath bitch" is too unstable to be a cop.

No f*cking kidding! I live in the occupied city of Los Angeles, and we can confirm this to be true. 🚨 ICE detentions of non-criminals rise 800% under Trump

Time to amend the filing, @governor.ca.gov

Naturally @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is right about why Obama can’t save us, and why anyone thinking the right speech, or the right headline, can turn the tide so vastly underestimates the hole we’re in

I always joke that my favorite breed is “been through some shit” and Edmund has the classic BTTS boy look. 🥰

We really do need to come up with a term for “government by liars” “Kakistocracy” isn’t right because it conveys ineptitude, venality, and corruption and maybe dishonesty. But I want something dishonesty specific. Since that is the go-to from the president to virtually every cabinet member.

Regarding recent immigration actions and the Club World Cup.

hi this is evil

wear your pink pussy hats and bring whatever pithy signs you want. If you’re showing up in the street you’re already 1000x more valuable to our cause than internet dorks screeching about “cringe” or “going back to brunch”

as many a mossad leader has complained before: all tactics, no strategy

I’m not sure what’s worse, Republicans denying what everyone can see on video or Democrats saying “we need immediate answers” about what everyone can see on video.

Interesting. Polls are showing American voters don’t like the idea of being under military occupation by a wildly angry game show host for no reason www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Next time he's on the Hill for an oversight hearing, perhaps some one should ask him under oath when the last time he had a drink was

why it's almost as if he's an ignorant, self-serving asshole who runs his mouth constantly but has no idea how anything works and should never have been allowed within 100 yards of governance

If you'll allow me to say it, The Onion is cooking with gas today.

Quick reminder that I am running a fundraiser for our local animal shelter, the Humane Society of Chittenden County! I have been volunteering there for a long time so I've seen firsthand the joy and dedication they put into their work. 💕 givebutter.com/catsofyore

Yes. This is a very real danger. Trump already has started trying to reframe this climbdown as sensible recalibration (while simultaneously telling MAGA that mass deportations absolutely will happen), and Dems are letting him get away with it.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Things are dogshit, but I am very proud to work here today.

If you’re going to the No Kings protest in Nassau County, be aware they have a mask ban (including respirators). The “medical exemption” is 100% police discretion. You have to prove you’re “sick enough” to mask. Mask bans are the result of people refusing to help disabled folks normalize masking

Happy Friday to the millennials and only the millennials.

THREAD: Israel bombed Iran, assassinating top military leaders and nuclear scientists. This was a manufactured crisis — timed, planned, and approved by the U.S. Here’s what they don’t want you to see: 🧵

My primary opponent is openly supporting a war crime that brings the world closer to a nuclear meltdown.

President Donald Trump on Thursday pulled the federal government out of what Northwest tribes have hailed as a historic agreement to recover salmon in the Columbia River Basin.

LAPD is illegally sharing license plate data with ICE and Border Patrol. Under California law, police agencies are barred from sharing license plate reader data with out-of-state public agencies or federal entities.

this is fascism

That's a total of $200k in settlements right there

BRAVO LA!!! Making the links that are critical. This is a regime by the bigots for the billionaires. A handful of broligarchs are monetizing hatred and minting a fortune off of destroying people's lives.

I hate having to constantly explain basic stuff like “externalities” to this administration. Do people think we were subsidizing solar for funzies or because it has benefits in terms of CO2 reduction not captured in the direct value of electricity it produces?

These are heroic times. You have the chance to be a hero.

“The Christian faith has always been the faith of witness, a faith of trust in God’s revelation in the times in which we live,” he said, arguing his faith compels him to bear witness “especially in moments of persecution or suffering or oppression.” religionnews.com/2025/06/11/i...

I'll be honest: I enjoy reading articles about how unqualified ideologues selected for their loyalty to an authoritarian president are suffering at their jobs.

Even though it's tiring, I think it's essential to consistently point out that this is illegal.

I have a lot of issues with Gavin Newsom but he is calling out Trump in a way other major leaders aren’t and if he causes Trump to have a stroke I will buy him a latte
