More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”
This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker
the president has declared war on an american state and the leaders of the opposition wont shut the fuck up about retraining the stormtroopers
Fuck, how am I going to do my banking?
Is this shit finally done for the day
I’m glad Bluesky exists but if I can’t make a maga dipshit feel a sinking feeling in their chest when they realize their own meaninglessness what’s the point…
Let’s go
I got a time out on Twitter for telling someone to end it all. But I don’t really feel bad about it
I love it when a bunch of people get fired for saying “Charlie Kirk might have been stoking the kind of hate that gets people killed” and the Kill Tony guys are like “I have free speech, I can use most of the slurs”
The lyric that has stuck in my head for decades and decades and seems to suit all the more about now:
"Forget all that you're told
You are young, they are old
CONTROL is all they've got to GIVE!
Just live how you want to live!"
Beginning in the 2025-26 school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about President Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud.

Is it possible that the best song about the papal conclave is from Jamaica? Is it also possible that it is the best song ever recorded? You bet it is:

Absolute mass psychosis
Anyway, I wrote all this already. I'm just still processing that a bunch of replacement-level rats could gnaw through so much of a century of hard-won progress, in just a few weeks. As someone with some residual pride in this country it's mostly just embarrassing. defector.com/billionaire-...
It’s kind of funny how the concept of the song is “what if something bad happened (it’s not btw things are great)” and the torment of cobain’s song is wholly abstract

Just to be clear, this means Trump’s U.S. Attorney for D.C. has fired almost every domestic violence prosecutor in the office.
And because we’re not a state, D.C.’s attorney general can’t bring felony charges against domestic abusers. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.
Eh. I don’t think you can reason with that — you should be reasoning with the politicians who couldn’t figure out how to reach those ppl, at that point. I think “genocide” just becomes a third rail of like… I can’t argue someone out of that bc they are ultimately right
Passion gat decor kind of day
Incredible how much better the OG “summer of love” (not the official album version) is youtu.be/O1O_TNZfvBY
Josh oconnor in “La chimera” is giving incredible Elliott Gould vibes
locks aside - tesla keeps video of people at charging stations and will happily hand it over to the police?
My fb got hacked somehow … nice
My fav Robert Palmer is “I didn’t mean to turn you on” and esp the dub mix, Bernard Edwards production
there is a 24/7 right-wing propaganda apparatus that operates across multiple mediums and it designed to do exactly this: smother any kind of local, material concern with cultural war signifiers and cultivate a “political affiliation as team sport” ethos
Total piece of shit
