My thoughts on Bluesky not being welcoming to Republicans is Trump blocks disaster relief to states voting blue, & is also legally codifying anyone who opposes him as a terrorist deserving violence, & his kidnapping brute gangs terrorize the streets, & there's much more but I'm out of characters

This is utterly appalling

every single time this happens the next reporter should ask the same question. and then the next. and the next. he’s not going to cut off access. he craves attention too much for that. call his fucking bluff.

Probably would've been nice to know this before the 2024 election, but sure

So under this Supreme Court's treatment of U.S. law and presidential power, Joe Biden couldn't forgove my student loans, but perhaps Donald Trump can forgive his own tax debt. Wild.

You almost have to hand it to Trump at this point. He’s figured out how to manipulate world markets by doing nothing more than tweeting bullshit 24/7.

I had my car broken into and laptop stolen in front of a police station in San Francisco and when I walked in to report the crime the officer on duty asked what I wanted him to do about it

Very disappointed. Reading @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social ‘s book only to discover it is not, in fact, a how-to book on successfully kidnapping billionaires. Do better. Enough with the false advertising.

So Tillis and Cornyn’s position is that the slush fund and IRS immunity is disgusting, illegal, immoral, and unethical but they are willing to confirm the man who agreed to it as Attorney General of the United States as long as he takes it back.

This is a story about the President and several of his hand-picked appointees all committing crimes and blatantly lying to the public while stealing public funds and abusing the criminal justice system, but the NYTimes describes the situation like they're recapping a soap opera.

The schools that stood up to Trump thug demands—first Wesleyan and Princeton, then Harvard, then many others who were emboldened—have won in court and earned honor in history and support from alums. Columbia showed that appeasement always loses. It's never enough. Don't do it, Yale.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

STATEMENT ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REFLECTING POOL INFIGHTING

I'm not qualified to judge whether such people are psychopaths. All I can say is that they behave as if they are. From today's Telegraph.

Full of despair today. Massive lay offs in social sciences and humanities across the country, Burnham puts out a video saying 'AI can write an essay', and my university is busy integrating co-pilot into all staff and student computers. We are being told we're defunct and there's no resistance.

Cease this Mitch McConnell catch-me-if-you-can gamesmanship. Here is a pro tip for erstwhile journalists: There are people who really know. Find them. #mitchmcconnell

People don’t care because we live in a political economy which actively argues that caring about the police killing Black people is the most grievous mistake of the recent political past.

Trump, 80, calls for a "deep throated" SAVE America Act

1. Does Mitch McConnell know he IS Mitch McConnell? 2. Can he read? 3. Can he speak? --getting my drift here....?
