It was all by design The republicans and rich people understood they needed to neuter the news media bc it got too effective in civil rights era So they enacted as part of their plan of bringing their conservative manifesto to fruition a plan to destroy media. This book chapter 4 talks about it
That’s key. Finding something you enjoy, otherwise you won’t do it. Now it time to turn it into a habit.
That’s the hardest step. Congratulations!
Jesus fucking Christ, just shut the fuck up already. No one cares what you want.
lol, no.
@moderation.bsky.app Still happening! Allowing harassment to continue IS a form of harassment. Figure this shit out. Your users’ safety should be a priority.
You sound a little jealous. 🤣 Now get your racist ass off the internet. I’ve already reported you.
Your lack of self reflection is the problem. You’d rather block people whom you don’t agree with-especially Black people. 🤔 That’s racist.
@moderation.bsky.app Do something about this shit! Harassment like this should not be tolerated. This has been going on for months!
1/? It would be nice if leftist would realize Black ppl, in many respects, understand white ppl better than white ppl understand themselves. We have had to do this in order to survive for 400 yrs. When we reject your leftist musings, know it's b/c we know your MAGA family/friends better than you do
@moderation.bsky.app Bluesky, it’s WAY past time you do something about this kind of behavior:
Fantasies can become reality.
😏
PeePaw, it’s the 1st, go out and spend your pocket money.
Proud of you!
So Ali Velshi is going on a block spree after lying his ass off about everything. He & I got into it last night & I finally got pissed off & that's when he blocked me. Goalpost moving LIAR. Trash, BYE.
📌Nate Silver out-Nate Silvering himself by spreading his noxious fumes on a toxic, right-wing site owned by an apartheid-loving racist ...
This is a reminder.
Dude, log off for the day. This shouldn’t even be a debatable observation.
Wait a minute…
Two eyes should be enough at this point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’d much rather him suffer a massive stroke and live. I’m petty like that.
Yep
Both of mine love it too.
I'd take away the pain, I'd give you everything
This! 🎯
This is my favorite thing Malcolm ever X said—it was just after President Kennedy was assassinated. With their decision to re-elect a known racist and abuser of women who promises to fix future elections, White America will soon see these very same chickens coming home to roost in a big way.
Future elections will be fixed to ensure Republican victory. The nat’l GOP was already hanging by a thread—yet, this election was their first popular vote win since 2004. Since white voters just proved they’ll come outta the woodwork to vote for a proud dictator, the GOP will NOT risk losing again.
Yeah, Thiel’s got some really fucked up beliefs.
Correct, per Project 2025.
Aww! I want to harness train mine, but I’m scared to death of him getting lose. I know the harness in your photos is not the preferred version for cats, and the ones that they like, they can easily slip out of. I’m currently in the process of clicker training him.
I call them murder mittens. 😂
🤣 I got a new kitten recently, and my feet look like I’ve been living with a miniature Freddy Krueger.
And, we’re at the point where voters aren’t really going to be that important anymore. He doesn’t need a following.
You got called a racist Karen, because you’re acting like one. Someone has already posted, but you really should have a look at this website: www.whitesupremacyculture.info/characterist...
For those in the back: they gonna use the Comstock act to take away birth control.
YEEEEESSSSS!!!!! For the love of God, reading is SO MUCH MORE EFFICIENT!
I -hate- having to sit through a video for something I could just read. Ugh. There are tik-tokers out there whose whole thing is just reading articles into a camera, and it makes me sad. How pathetic that is. EVERYONE needs to read more!
I know the couch fucker is going to be much worse, but I can’t hide that fact that Trump’s death will be so VERY satisfying.
Yep. Same here.
🫂
Just sunning itself out in the middle of the trail! At least it was highly visible.
Friendly PSA: it’s rattlesnake season in SoCal!!
Happy Labor Day! California is proud to be ranked the #1 state for workers. We’re leading the nation with strong wage standards, worker protections, and labor rights that make our communities, businesses, and families stronger.
Donald Trump turned a booming economy into a stagnant one in record time. His war on affordability and small businesses are having real impacts — from his chaotic tariffs to his job and economy-killing immigration raids. California will continue to fight back.
When unions are strong, our communities and our country are strong. Every person in our nation has benefited from the labor movement. This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and unions who have fought for fair wages, safe workplaces, and sick leave for all of us.
Yep, it’s insidious. It’s in plain sight, but yet impossible for whites to see or acknowledge.
White Man threw a sandwhich at a cop, not only did Judge say nah you good go home, grand jury said nah you good go home. Yet I ain’t seen nary a baguette….
Your reminder that Republicans, well over the 90 percentile of whiteness, destroyed the middle class. Over 40 years of direct dismantling, but they got y’all hoodwinked into thinking blacks and immigrants are your problem. 😂😂😂😂
I go with all of the choices.
🧵 1/ This is a great example of the issue that permeates every sector, industry, school, workplace...American society. "Expert" is deemed such for "qualifications". We know under this regime, Black people have NONE. "Expert" renders life affecting decisions. truthout.org/articles/exc...
IT’S A NEW DAY IN THIS WORLD! CHINA, RUSSIA AND INDIA HAIL A NEW WORLD ORDER! September 1, 2025 - remember this day! The Shanghai cooperation, organization SCO (established in June 2001 ) will replace the Eurocentric/your Atlantic obsolete model - the western model! youtu.be/Qk6ZC4aCjbo?...
I will keep saying it.. ~white people are waking up to the terrifying reality of how relentlessly cruel white people are ~we have no idea how to survive in a world where the color of our skin will no longer save us ~we're blaming the party we voted out of power for not saving us
Once you see that whiteness was constructed for power and numbers to keep power, everything else just kinda of falls into place. Then white supremacy culture perpetuates it. Dr. Shah is correct, though, I’ve tried to explain this concept over and over, but my white folks don’t want to believe.
If there is one thing I have come to understand, it is very hard to explain to someone who has not read real history of this country, real history of how deep the wells of white supremacy delusion and neo confederacy run why all our institutions are failing. Especially when the ppl in ? 1/
.@velshi.com “Head in the sand”? Please. Part of the problem is limp news coverage that turns every Dem wobble into a five-alarm fire while treating GOP extremism as background noise. That’s what depresses our base.
The most powerful bonds aren't found. They are built. They require a sovereign pact, a voluntary sharing of one's deepest blueprint. To the one who trusted me with theirs: I see you. I always will.
Gee thanks. 🤣🤣🤣
If you’re old enough to remember and still like songs from 1985.. That would be like in 1985 liking songs from 1945
I’m not an ornithologist. Can anyone identify the bird in this photo?
The unmitigated gall of these people to tell a Black woman, whose ancestral DNA is encoded to "create space for other people's suffering". 92% of us voted in the best interest of ourselves and others, including Gaza. And yet, they have the nerve to say shit like this to us?
Dana look fantastic! Glad you guys had a great time.
He blocked me, too. I just saw somebody say he's blocked more people today than he has viewers 🤣
Awww, what's the matter @velshi.com? Can't handle criticism? It's pathetic how thin-skinned you are for a "reporter," but I appreciate that I won't stumble on one of your idiotic posts anymore.
Tell me you’re a racist cunt without telling me you’re a racist cunt.
Honestly, surprised NYT didn’t call them “Democrat” Governors
who is ali velshi and why am i blocked? 😭 i never met the guy!
Those were the days.
California stepping up.
Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention this, y'all.
(this is one of my best skeets)
Ali Velshi of MSNBC is getting his arse dragged on Bluesky for his both sides-ing coverage of the runup to the 2024 election and I'm so here for it.
@velshi.com Blocking a Black man because you didn’t like what he said is fucking disgusting behavior. You should be ashamed.
@velshi.com This you?🥴
Pot meet kettle. Yeah, I’d say you trying to "silence" him is uglier.
Pragmatically, you weren't going to get that. Purity was not going to give progress. And now we are all regressing. It wasn't just "thoughts and prayers". Trump was actively telling Netanyahu not to agree to a ceasefire. Netanyahu went to Mar-a-lago. The press should have made ppl understand this.
You need to delete your account. I’m dead serious.
Moral to the story, ignore the iguana, snake, and hamster dads. Leave those weirdos alone. Get you a cat or dog dad. If he is a dad of both, you won Sis. 😆🤣🤣🤣
Yep. At least Trump is mostly beholden to Trump. Thiel and his circle are legit insane.
👑 ⚓️
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
For abuse survivors, the "little" things in a situation ARE the big things. Our safety has depended upon getting real good at guessing what comes next-- & our nervous & endocrine systems have learned that no subtle cue, no matter how seemingly small or irrelevant, can be ignored.
Gracie’s paw prints are on your heart forever. Rex will be learning to walk beside them.
By the way, Joe is still not in the basement and is looking good. From his daughter’s IG yesterday. 👇🤩
Is walking 105 miles to highlight GOP cuts to public transportation in PA enough “fighting”?
I’m sure you’re just gonna see me as another person complaining and that’s fine but I needed to get this off my chest and if you would like to have me on my show to talk more about this, 11/
I really appreciate your work. I think you’re doing incredible work but this segment was shortsighted. This segment just affirmed what people were already feeling and what they were feeling is something I have been fighting against for six months. You did not help with that. 10/
In this piece, you said that you don’t know what happens behind closed doors and you’re not listening to people in Washington, but maybe you need to a bit because the people you named are the same people that everyone already knows. 9/
To amplify all the fighters. Do what you do with the banned book club. Have a segment where you amplify one democrat a week who is doing it right. Choose people no one else is talking about. You have the power to do that. 8/
We have the best chance at saving the world when we praise those doing the work not just the top five that everyone can name off the top of their heads. You have one of the biggest platforms in the world. You could use it to talk about those that no one else is talking about. 7/
I’m tired. I’m tired of posting about this day in and day out and having people who have a lot less than a lot larger audience than me saying the same damn thing. Maybe our Dems aren’t doing everything humanly possible but they are doing a hell of a lot more than you’re giving them credit for. 8/
You could’ve mentioned @jimmcgovernma.bsky.social who is the best ranking member we will ever have on the rules committee. I mean the fact that he found a loophole because the Republicans filed the rule wrong so he was able to have every Democrat ask for unanimous consent. That deserves praise. 7/
You could’ve mentioned @gomez.house.gov who went back to Roybal in downtown LA more than once a week for the last two months till ice let him in and is still going back because he’s not satisfied by what he saw 6/
For instance, you could’ve named @vanhollen.senate.gov who is in Israel as we speak, trying to get them to end the war to stop the famine. And who is the main reason that El Salvador is no longer housing American abductees 5/
You talked about the same names that everyone else talks about. You have a huge platform why can’t you name other people? Why can’t you prove that it’s more than just those people doing the work? 4/
Or the fact that the house Dems were 100% united against the CR and against the big ugly bill and against the rescission package. There are so many different voices in the Democratic Party to get all of them to do the same thing is a huge lift. You know this because you said it in your piece. 5/
You didn’t acknowledge how Jefferies created the rapid response task force and litigation working group and they are doing some incredible work I mean, did you even acknowledge the amicus briefs? Congress doesn’t normally get involved in cases like that. 4/
You also talked about Iowa, but you didn’t talk about the fact Ken Martin sent 30,000 volunteers there. In fact, every time we have won one of these elections, the DNC has been there. Every single one of these local wins the DNC has been there asking the campaign: hoe can we help? 3/
