But ultimately, this is a conversation about why moral panics never work! They're rooted in feelings and performative behavior. Not facts and evidence based solutions. If your only goal is to be outraged and then create a policy that soothes you, your policies will always be ineffective fuckshit
This test has far more to say about Ryan Walters and his ilk than it could possibly tell a normal human taking it. It also exposes Prager U for the propaganda machine it obviously is.
They forgot the word “purity” in the headline. That’s a political quiz, not an academic one. It is nothing but propaganda.
Also, this isn't about "disability rights" -- there's a whole bunch of scholars who work on eugenics and other fields who point out that ableism isn't just "discrimination against disabled people" but a wider tendency to valourise ability in society which is inevitably linked to fascism.
Tax the rich
She’s like a Tardis, but instead of rooms and timey-whimey stuff, it’s just shit. Like a clown car, but the clowns are all shit, and she’s the biggest clown in that particular car.
God, she’s full of shit!
If I recall correctly, LA is rarely standing. They’re usually sitting in traffic somewhere
Truth.
Will the name change come before or after they deny him “his” Peace Prize?
They’d be sitting around enjoying a latte or something instead of standing up and being politically active. Is that what she means?

No way, my best cats have been Orange bois. However, tuxedo cats are weirdos
What the fuck is wrong with people?
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
This. Seriously, the guy is just doing what ALL Democrats ought to be doing.
Take cover...
Israel may be a Semitic state, but it is not Semitism itself
Go to church tomorrow and think about this.
The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...
This concept is neither unfair nor difficult to understand
The people who benefit the most from a society should also be the ones paying the most to support that society.
Ah-mazing!! 🤣🤣
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
"The American Slavery 2.0 project is a brilliant conceit precisely because it dovetails so many MAGA governing principles into a single, big and beautiful policy." — @schaller67.bsky.social
REP. @brotherjones.bsky.social: “People want to give thoughts and prayers after a shooting, but it’s a form of theological malpractice when you pray for something you have the power to change.”
"Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Trump’s mobster state capitalism is that it isn’t about economic efficiency or stimulating growth, let alone a vision of how the economy works and what it should create. It’s about *power*, pure and simple."
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…

Best Molly Ivins Quote is a very tough category.
Guys nothing happened. However, CEOs are still trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while planning on replacing you with a robot and charge you for the robot’s rent Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
When, WHEN will I learn not to look up popular things on the internet?
Just remember, every terrible decision by our corrupt Justices is a stronger case for impeachment. I hope.
She’s not? Is she dying?
trumpwatch is the bluesky version of buying a powerball ticket. It's not about the odds, it's about the dream
I’m for it
So, he IS the Anti-Christ.
So say we all
Ouch…
I love this. The caption is the icing
Agreed
“What the fuck is wrong with you people?” is the only appropriate response to this administration. It should be asked at every press conference, every interview.
*stares into the camera* *sighs*
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
The next step for the next election is to vote out about half the Democrats, those who’ve been useless enablers of the Republicans
There is only one way to deal with the current political disaster that is unfolding, and that is to vote out every single Republican in office. Will it happen? Probably not. But it’s worth trying our damnedest to achieve.
There’s a reason Dr. King's historic 1963 rally was called “The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.” As he warned the nation, "We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor." Real freedom requires economic freedom for all.
However evil you think this is, it’s worse: “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Sure she is
So what if the whole forest burns? You got your bounty for ruining a couple of hardworking firefighters' lives and the lives of their families. If this leads to deaths of other firefighters or nearby residents, ICE should face felony murder charges. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
Unfortunately, agreed
Remember when John McCain died and Trump refused to fly the American flag at half-staff because he didn’t like the guy? thehill.com/policy/defen...
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
If she sucked any harder she deglove him
If we can’t shame them about a lack of ethics, maybe shaming them about a lack of dignity is the way to go
If these guys sucked any harder, they’d deglove the mushroom
Ken Paxton is one of, if not THE, shittiest people in Texas. And that is saying a lot. He’s arsenic sprinkles on the turd that is the Republican Texas government
No we do not
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices. Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
As a child, I would have never believed I'd find out about so many adults who fear rainbows, shots, books, and immigrants.
Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
I see no lie, except from The Hill.
It really is true. Not only are the maps themselves fundamentally antidemocratic, but so was the mockery of a process that led to their passage.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
You know, AI probably will destroy civilization, not through any machine malice, but because we’ll be stupid enough to put it in charge of everything and it’s just not capable of doing it
Agreed
It's not a famine. It's a Genocide.
When innocent children have an adult screaming at them that they are wicked and evil, that they do not have the right to live their own lives, and that they deserve to suffer a terrifying punishment, it’s not child abuse. It’s a fundamentalist church service.

I don’t know about anyone else but I like the new Cracker Barrel logo. I think it really captures the current zeitgeist. #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
THIS is what has people up in arms??? What the fuck is wrong with people???!!!
How many people are saying to themselves, “Well, if I have to be age verified for Bluesky, I might as well look at porn, too”?
I’m sure it’s not bribes. Very sure. Sooo sure.
This is one of those cases where, in a real country, the judge would look at the defense, say, “seriously?!”, and award the plaintiff double.
The proper response to this statement is “What the fuck is wrong with you?”
Or, it’s not a bug, it’s a feature
The cruelty is the point
occupydemocrats The top 4 states for murder rate in the U.S. 1) Mississippi 2)Louisiana 3)Alabama 4)Missouri Why isn't Trump sending the National Guard into these states? Oh, that's right: because they're all red states!
This is a true thread
THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY
THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY
these people just fundamentally believe that only they have the legitimate right to political power www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-house-...
You know what’s really funny about this? Drive around Texas and see how many people have painted their houses black, or have black roofs
