bluesky removed video of Charlie Kirk getting shot could’ve put a graphic warning on it, as it’s a major news event, but nope, just took the whole post down.
just wanted to let people who are migration now know that there is ANOTHER option available through your phone called @tektite.cc by @torrho.com !! the tutorial is available here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Sdm...
We documented some of the calls for retribution that followed Charlie Kirk’s murder. With @kieraevebutler.bsky.social and @juliannemcshane.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
🧐🤔🤨.
I have serious doubts as to whether, after all of its politically-motivated firings, the FBI has the capacity and expertise to actually investigate Kirk’s murder. The lawsuit filed today against Patel and the Bureau describes a complete clown show that leaves all of us less safe
think we may finally have hit the breaking point
Remember how confident everyone was that US soldiers wouldn’t follow illegal orders?
This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.
Looks like @blackskyweb.xyz is just 34 accounts away from being the second largest non-Bluesky PDS on the AT Protocol! ¡Echa pa'lante, @rude1.blacksky.team!
When some maga bigot shoots a bunch of kids, or a synagogue, or a mosque, or a Walmart, or a supermarket, that's a lone wolf with mental problems. When it's one of theirs who get shot, it's a sophisticated leftist plot, and every single liberal is in on it. That's how it works for the magas.
BREAKING: Federal judge in Los Angeles issues preliminary injunction against Department of Homeland Security to restrict use of force against press, legal observers and protesters. Judge in LA Press Club v. Noem calls out "surprising savagery" of DHS officers: "The First Amendment demands better."
These people are on another planet.
For your blocking consideration, a weird liar.
Migration from bsky dot social to blacksky dot app complete. I was going to doing it later but who knew that such a bloody day would be why I swiched servers. Thank you @rude1.blacksky.team and your team for creating and curating this place and thanks to @tektite.cc for making the migration easy.
This man fomented an insurrection, then bestowed pardons and military honors on its perpetrators. Here, he praises "free speech," then attributes all political violence to his ideological foes and vows to crack down on their organizations. We're living in an Orwellian nightmare.
i guess the real message is don't fuck around with etsy witches www.jezebel.com/we-paid-some...
No fucking way. @moderation.bsky.app what the fuck is this shit.
Anyway, my only actual comment on Charlie Kirk's death is the same as my comment on today's school mass shooting is the same as my comment on the assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband is the same as my comment on-- m.youtube.com/watch?v=CG4Y...
They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.
This explains it better than I can
Thinking about Melissa Hortman's family today.
Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
The Trump Administration pulls funding for deafblind kids because of "concerns about 'divisive concepts' and 'fairness.'" So glad they're bringing wokeness to its knees. www.propublica.org/article/trum...
"they are at war with us"
So cool to live in a country where we not only have competing shooting stories breaking but the one getting all the air time is for a total monster
Every single elected official decrying Kirk’s shooting. Not one of them addressing the school kids shot today in Colorado. That says more than i ever could.
It is entirely appropriate to point out hypocrisy like this today.
I'll merely note that today, like all days, is a great day to stop posting on Twitter, a platform whose owner force feeds this slop into people's brains with an algorithm designed to boost his views and trample yours.
Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around! 1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video" 2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound
In the immediate wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's death, little to nothing is known about the suspect, and prominent Democrats were quick to condemn the violence. Yet many on the far right have taken to social media to claim the shooting was incited by the Left. trib.al/UkEerYU
Silence may speak volumes, but when specifically you choose to break it also says a whole fucking lot
Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a call to action for people of goodwill to take a stand against all forms of violence. Paraphrasing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we must all learn to live together as brothers (and sisters), or we will all perish together as fools.

hands down, post of the day.

ICE is using a controversial spy tool to locate smartphones, court records show.
Reminder that feeding your cats raw food at this time is NOT safe. The speed at which cats go from a light fever to dying of pneumonia or neurological symptoms is just a few DAYS. I lost 2 cats to this in March and had around 20k in medical bills to save 2 others who were hospitalized.
If I were the Yankees, I would simply not welcome a fascist tin pot dictator who is deporting all my immigrant fans, criminalizing all my trans fans, killing all my Arab and Muslim fans, and firing all my Black fans, but hey, that's just me www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Sign of the times: A Columbia grad student handcuffed on the street by people claiming to be federal agents, later released, and it's still unclear whether they were feds or not Official university statement: president.columbia.edu/news/reminde...
"Owning the libs" is Republican farmers' heroin. It feels good when you shoot it up, but it ruins your goddamn life.
Just a reminder: Trump briefly tried to question if it was his voice on the Access Hollywood tape!
choice post. 10/10 no notes.
ICE terrorized communities across Chicagoland today. Things are accelerating. We can say with confidence it's going to get worse. Please prepare.
I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.
ICE supporter tries to assault an ICE protester with pepper spray, maces herself instead, and then demands an ambulance. 🤦♂️
IT IS ON THE SAME BLOCK AS YOUR HOUSE. YOU GOT IN A CAR AND DROVE 400 FEET. MY TAXES PAY FOR YOU TO DO THIS, SOMEHOW
My statement on tonight's DFL Feminist Caucus Annual Meeting. This statement is being emailed to the Feminist Caucus Chair, Alicia Gibson, and to the State DFL Chair, Richard Carlbom. This caucus should be ashamed of itself.

I don’t give a shit if JD Vance doesn’t give a shit about the Constitution. Striking civilian boats in international waters is both unconstitutional and a war crime. The party of “law and order” clearly doesn’t care about respecting it.
FOIA offices are being decimated across federal agencies, leaving the government unable to fulfill public records requests. Don’t let this blatant attack on transparency fly under the radar. Use our new, easy tool to tell your representatives to safeguard FOIA.

Like I just said on CNN, it’s absolutely evil that people are sleeping on concrete floors at the ICE detention center near Chicago. Join us to protest this Friday at 7 am at the Broadview Detention Center.
Nice work, DC.
society would improve immediately if we just seized the assets of every person who wrote jeffrey epstein a birthday note
this administration is sub-human garbage
this one's good. do it. www.kqed.org/news/1205508...
I'm more of a SoundCloud man, myself.
at the very least, I'd like to see criminals prosecuted. our governor, police, and DA have the power to do that. bsky.app/profile/iwil...
"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."
He and his hench people should not be able to go ANYWHERE without people disrupting them.
NEW: We just filed an amicus brief with other free speech organizations in support of California’s lawsuit against President Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles this June. The president's actions violate federal law and put our communities in danger.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.
Never before (I think) has a “great power” committed suicide in support of patriarchy, pedophilia, and domestic violence. The misogyny is killing us and no one will benefit.
👌
why does his face have hip bones?
oh my god they're actually doing it
No one *expects* anything he says to be true. This is one of fascism's objectives—to make the truth irrelevant. His lies spin up a violent storyline that people either willingly inhabit or are trapped by. It's fiction with real-world consequences.
dril from the top rope 💀

it is embarrassing how few evil dorks it is taking to catastrophically collapse the future of our planet and every species on it
Look at the person to your left. Look at the person to your right. In the near future, half of all three of you will be AI
Underrated reason as to why Musk threw USAID into the woodchipper: he thinks millions of dead African children is a positive outcome unto itself
John Roberts believes that Donald Trump should be allowed to fuck kids both metaphorically and entirely literally.
“When we don't regulate these big companies and we let them pollute our air and pollute our water and pollute our land, and take away power from the locals [and Indigenous communities]— we [face] worse outcomes.” ⤵️
Whatever Trump says or does today, or tomorrow, or the next day was enough to get other Presidents impeached and probably imprisoned.
Any political tendency that sacrifices human lives as election strategy is demented. Centrism is extremism. Wanting people housed, fed, healthy, educated, employed, and safe from fascists is not only moderate, but obvious.
"the path currently being taken towards agentic AI leads to an elimination of privacy and security at the application layer"
don't worry
This is tempting fate, and I am not sure why you would do this!
The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified
Except for those 34 felony convictions and a civil judgment that he committed rape. Guess they forgot about those.
This is literally that stomach churning scene from Full Metal Jacket. Fucking monsters.
hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵
Dear NYC: 1. The last day to register to vote is October 25, 2025. 2. There will be two mayoral debates, on Thursday, October 16 and Wednesday, October 22.
I have a great idea: we open the borders and abolish ICE
Pretty stunning numbers here. Leaked data shows that ICE has ballooned its deportation force 4x by diverting 25,000 cops from other agencies. www.cato.org/blog/ice-has...
It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his fascism depends upon his not understanding it.

i'm selling a guitar on marketplace and some doorknob offered me a pixelart nft of the same guitar in trade and sent me an image of it and told me it was a 1 of 1 so i downloaded it and replied that now it was a 1 of 2 and this was the last thing he said before i blocked him
his father was unavailable for comment
Folks, I think Mike Johnson said he would like to see the letter. Everywhere he goes. Until he answers.
Didn't expect "Government releases new evidence in favor of UFOs to distract from Epstein scandal" but I don't know why I didn't tbh.
