World Wonders What Trump Has On United States That’s Forcing Nation To Keep Him In Power theonion.com/world-w...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

He nails it.

THIS MF (not @georgetakei.bsky.social - obviously) is FULL OF SHITE. Congestion pricing was working and making NYC a BETTER city. He’s a moron on so many levels it’s almost impressive.

@katherinestewart.bsky.social explains how Americans can still keep the rising tide of fascism at bay.

This is complete BULLSH!T. I live in Brooklyn and take the subways ALL THE TIME. It ain’t dangerous AT ALL. These fear-mongering douchebags need to stfu.

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Still one of my favorite poems Waxwing ever published. waxwingmag.org/items/issue1...

We are remembering #CharlesPortis, who passed away five years ago today. Portis is best known as the author of “True Grit” (though perhaps best loved as the author of cult favorite “The Dog of the South”). oxfordamerican.org/web-only/rem... 🧵

🔥🔥🔥 Eveeybody sit up and take notice: THIS is their end-goal! They want to control & profit from every sector of society, profit we the people will never see.

They won’t ever learn will they

IF. YOU. ARE. A. BUSINESS. ON. SOCIAL. MEDIA. PUT. YOUR. CITY. AND. STATE. IN. YOUR. BIO. YOUR. AUDIENCE. IS. WORLDWIDE. AND. WE. DON’T. KNOW. WHO/WHERE. TF. YOU. ARE. Thank you.

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

Well that’s definitely shady… if you weren’t already tipped off by the $27 submission fee. @narrativemag.bsky.social - please quit doing crap like this.

Mr Rogers and Sesame Street taught me love, kindness, compassion, and empathy. Star Trek taught me to dream of and aspire to help create a better and more diverse world. Star Wars and Tolkien taught me to fight for freedom, even in the face of overwhelming odds and great evil.

My first review in The New York Times!! And it’s amazing!!! So so grateful!!! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b...

@laurenfsharma.bsky.social recommends books that explore South African identity by Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh, J. M. Coetzee, Mohale Mashigo, and more.

It should not be radical for the American Bar Association to say that it supports the rule of law. But right now, it is. Let's see some other orgs taking a similar stance.

I have ZERO doubt they would send Jesus to Guantanamo. Zero None They’ve never changed.

To be clear: I am 1000% AGAINST the current administration and believe they are an evil (if shallow) and enduring threat to our safety and our nation. I don’t think it’s a secret but want to make sure.

Pay attention.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

Let's get this circulated!! 😤

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So here’s how it’s going to go down—this is going to be very rough. But the big wake-up call is for our American friends. For example, Kentucky—the number one purchaser of Kentucky spirits in the world is Canada, and all our provinces have just pulled it off the shelves.

The @nytimes.com is nothing but trash these days.

Everyone should follow this woman who is smart AF and a badass. She explains complicated tech & economic issues in ways that are clear and comprehensible. 5⭐️

Y’all should come to New York. We’ve got plenty of eggs.

This is how you do it...

These organizations are sending aid to people in Gaza.
