I wonder how explicit this will get - how many campaign ads against right-wing ethnonationalist parties in South Asia, South America, Europe, or Africa will end up warning voters about the kind of governance the US is getting if they fail to reject the right

Many of us: unemployed The news: this 23 year old hacker with a background in stealing your bank account information has the nuclear codes

Yes: there is no double jeopardy for impeachment proceedings. You can keep doing it over and over.

I subscribe to the paper edition and give the absolute strongest recommendation. having a copy of the Onion in the bathroom will make you think it's the 90s, but in a good way. seriously the best, not expensive, do it.

man oh man do these people need to be nuremberged asap

One day Im gonna tell my kids that Bluesky helped me launch a resistance school

It's a waste of time to discuss protesting with people who do not protest. I recommend not doing so.

Well we are about to find out what kind of Christianity is not acceptable to the administration

Wait Poilievre lost his own seat too?? lmao

The U.S. Senate and House voted for budgets that steal $880 billion from Medicaid—to give billionaires tax cuts. A friend is part of a group organizing against this. They are asking for calls to Congress. This link makes that easy: win.newmode.net/peoplesactio...

I’m sorry being kicked out of a local rabbit themed group chat in San Francisco is so funny

in 2023, the principal of this school resigned in protest of the Archbishop’s transphobic new school policies, and the outgoing priest gave a 🔥🔥🔥 sermon to the kids at graduation using her as an example of standing up to tyrants. this is the first I’ve heard about their successors, and hooooly fuck

Today is Workers Memorial Day, honoring those who have been injured or killed on the job. I wrote this for @proteanmag.com after my granddad died from mesothelioma. He spent 40 years working at a steel mill, breathing in the asbestos that eventually took him from me proteanmag.com/2021/03/23/s...

There’s nothing hotter than a man with a scheduling conflict.

pedocon theory explains the modern GOP better than 100% of other attempts

I mean, who among us hasn’t just dropped a plane

Alright, Bluesky, do your thing! I need a part-time, DC-based operations manager to come work with me ASAP. Email [email protected].

New executive order dropped. It's called "STRENGTHENING AND UNLEASHING AMERICA’S LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PURSUE CRIMINALS AND PROTECT INNOCENT CITIZENS." The section pictured here is particularly concerning. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Shoulda done legs first. You know, build from the ground up.

I'm sorry but WUT?????? ONLY "66% oppose sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons." This tells you how messed up some people are in this country and how much folks LOVE prisons.

Importantly admission to the Whitney is now free for all visitors 25 and under, every day.

One of the things that is interesting to me is the number of people who respond with something like,"Well, we don't take the threat to Canada seriously because come on, Trump isn't going to invade Canada with the military."

Three months in, and everyone and everything is the enemy. Immigrants and trans people and DEI and woke and the media and the Democrats and the "radical left" and judges and other countries and sanctuary cities and government employees and science and...capitalists?

the LAPD, for generations, has been a truly criminal enterprise whose most sociopathic members rise through the ranks & hire more people like them

Pulling the late shift with Artemis, my temporary operations manager. Timestamp 1:54 am.

"A federal judge filed a preliminary injunction late on Friday that temporarily blocked the Trump administration from removing the bargaining rights of two-thirds of the federal workforce...widely considered retaliation against unions for challenging his power." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

69% of white evangelical Christians would send you to a concentration camp without batting an eye, so 🤷🏻‍♂️.

you know, if you look long enough at this picture of Ferenc Léhar in his apartment in Vienna in 1918, you will eventually be drawn to the inescapable conclusion that people had a whole fuck-ton of chairs in those days

Ring around the rosie level coping mechanism

No, it’s that drivers have never learned how to make space for pedestrians. Most suburban places have only token sidewalks and illogical/unsafe crosswalks. Unless drivers are in a parking lot, they just assume that nobody is walking. (Speaking as a New Yorker after six months in suburban Richmond)

Resistance Summer School is officially SOLD OUT. Over 500 students enrolled 48 hours!! Enrollment is now closed. If you missed it, you can join the official waitlist here: forms.gle/9veB9dusNMgJ... Thank you for believing in this vision!! We move!!! karenattiah.substack.com/p/enrollment...

David Perdue is a plague profiteer who would have been imprisoned years ago if we lived in a country with laws

Extremely stoked to share this new Salvo feature on Xwîn, who just may be the world’s first ever Kurdish-language black metal band. salvo.ghost.io/xwin-raw-kur...

Federal police state incoming

Hey y’all, I interned there once, and yeah, monopolies, but uh, are you ready for a world where like, all consumer products are a scam?

This kind of shit is why I am increasingly skeptical we’ll see any widespread regret from Trump voters lol. They’d literally rather believe this

lol this is popcorn.gif stuff. he sent in the one who yells better to say “Joe Biden did this”

vowing to singlehandedly improve Canada may be the only campaign promise Donald Trump ever kept

a testament to Canadian news media is that CBC reporter/anchor Chris Ensing was not made to trim his beard before the election night broadcast

feels like a really self defeating point like it is literally impossible to do mass deportation in a humane and competent way, this is like saying they would have loved trump to split the atom without releasing energy, the amount of time spent on stupid shit dumb people want is why we are here

at this point I am team cuneiform

Tech bros: see, we invented this cool new thing nobody’s ever seen before called racial profiling

I like a good grip; I like to feel something in this slippery world that can hold, man.

Literally calling for anyone opposing resegregation to be met with state violence.

Interrupting the flow of cheap consumer goods is genuinely the only real red line that, by my guess, probably a double-digit percentage of Americans have for a Republican administration. The admin is scared of this and they should be, because Amazon gives everyone else permission to do it.

Dear Canadian friends: Not my place to interfere in your politics. But please ruin his day.

they just signaled at the presser what their strategy will be -- just say "the Biden ______" about the things they break. the Biden price hikes. the Biden air traffic disasters. Trump didn't shit himself; Joe Biden shat in Trump's pants.

this feels like the billionaire telling the millionaire to quit fucking with his money

People will be out in the streets again everywhere on Thursday: maydaystrong.org

THE OLIGARCH BOYS ARE FIGHTING

Buy a gun and learn how to use it. If you cannot do this for whatever reason, connect with trusted people in your community who can. Your local @socialistra.bsky.social is an excellent place to start.

Lord, cis men are on the struggle bus. Times have changed. Please get with the program.

The Pitt (which I like!!) is aggressive about its Trump-era social messaging: each patient represents some pressing current national crisis, be it opioids or gun violence or male loneliness or anti-vaxxers. It's so earnest and didactic that it almost feels like an artifact of the first Trump term.

Canada To Trump: Drop Dead

maybe instead of expatriating I should just move to chicago

The only good thing to come out of the Trump administration is that they're so stupid and dangerous they forced Canadians to confront a reflection of their own burgeoning fascism. And Canadians said "Elbows up." Good job Canada. Fuck the fascists.

very funny to watch retailer after retailer do the “i did that!” thing that republicans did with joe biden and gas prices

It’s clear from the social media discourse about #Sinners that A LOT of people need to read this book because a ridiculous number of people think that “passing” means “looks white” and “could be perceived as white” and that is in fact not it lol www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...

What app or service should a person who doesn't want to support this kind of BS use to learn a new language?

If student loan forgiveness is your main issue, then you cannot affirmatively vote for the GOP. If you don't trust Democrats on the issue, then you either vote 3rd party or don't vote. But you can't vote for the GOP and say it's because you mainly care about student loan forgiveness.

That genius Leavitt just Streisand Effected a fringe idea by a tiny part of Amazon into national discourse about tariff impacts, sometimes rule by the dumbest people has real benefits

I think about all the sweet pictures I have of my kid between 3 and 5- dressed up or in parks or museums and how many of these kids will only have photos their parents took to help raise funds in front of rubble for these ages in Gaza. You can’t save the world but you can help these kiddos today ❤️

If you're in NYC on Sunday, some terrific young people are facilitating a walking tour of Greenwich Village as part of Jane's Walk. They were participants in the Youth Public History Institute that I co-facilitated and co-organized in summer 2023. www.mas.org/events/insid... - Sign up!

I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium once when I was a kid. The memory has stuck with me forever. Watch this video today and your day will be better.

"In the 12th week of 2025, blank sailings scheduled for the beginning of May were near 0%. Four weeks later, they were as high as 40% of all ships crossing the Pacific." www.cnbc.com/2025/04/24/u...

is secessionism bad or something?

I had some clever line here about how we should all aspire to the expression on the chained model's face but then I looked up the artist's work and he rules so just go look and read. www.nearbycafe.com/artandphoto/...

This is hilarious. Also Bezos will back down.

new york times voter interviews are a powerful argument that not everybody should be allowed to vote

I have a feeling that many families will be seeking out free events etc... this year.

A tricky thing: It’s hard to know right now whether meds are working, because I have no idea what headspace I would be in otherwise. NOT IDEAL.

The main goals of most new tech products seem to be fraud, general surveillance, and “we need to invent a new product to do this so we can pretend it’s not just racial profiling”

for years I have said that Bill Ackman is the literal stupidest person to ever live and not once has there ever been a single piece of evidence to contradict that belief

This guy is such a fucking loser.

“You have Trump Derangement Syndrome!” squeal the people whose entire working day consists of complaining to each other about Taylor Lorenz

Enrollment is Now Closed: Resistance Summer School Has Sold Out open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

fascinating video from Black farmers. they theorize we don't see as many Black farmers complaining about Trump's policies because they're already used to unfair practices from the US govt that's locked them out of programs for generations.

The fool. In that time I’ll have eaten all the bread and thus won the game

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Diana. Diana and her husband Mohammed have two little girls, Hanan, 7 and Sham, 3. They have been displaced numerous times but Mohammed has kept working in a hospital during all of this. They need help with food and renting a small room ❤️

The people are incens’d against him.

My youngest nibling called me this morning [very early because she lives overseas] to tell me that she just wanted to hear my voice because she misses me [I cried real tears because so sweet and I miss her too.]

Bluesky is glitching because we could not collectively handle the intensity of Karoline Leavitt I'ma-let-you-finishing the press conference by holding up a printout of Jeff Bezos. the Bezos printout is a white dwarf re-igniting

Women stand to suffer the most from the fallout, with the gender pay gap compounding payments for women over time. As it is, women with bachelor’s degrees graduate owing $2,700 more on average than men do.
