RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
So how many emergencies are we facing? Still no climate change emergency, though, so we’re all good!
Props
Ouch.
Thanks for the video but why so pouty?
I think it is too big for his head and loosely situated, big gaps. Covering something other than bad hair. And it’s conspicuously off brand. Do MAGA hats not fit over the [fill in the blank]?
Can we talk about that gray hat?
Is that a real post from president of this nation?
Is that a real post?
Best thing I’ve heard in a long “effing” time!!!
Exactly why does he think he deserves it? Israel Gaza still at war/genocide; Ukraine sill getting slammed; turns military on his people…
Solidarity is the best <3
My heart goes out to you - so sorry you have to suffer this nonsense on top of it all
Why are none of them afraid of their constituents?
I like it (and I like my blue state).
Our country is being run by sociopaths.
Can we add sanctimonious to that descriptive string?
And I believe god, having seen and heard quite enough, is slouching in the back row of the classroom, arms folded, sunglasses and hoodie on…
I do think the shooter was trans. And politically muddled, and mentally ill.
Is all of this a joke? Both the black paint and now the gold?
We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
I understand that his DC move is, uniquely, constitutional, tho’ unwarranted by lack of “emergency” (that the constitution doesn’t define “emergency seems to be quite the plot hole).Once he tries this in Chicago, if 41% still approve, we are screwed indeed.
A knockout. Thank you.
old teacher has a new lesson
IMO if Democrats want to retake Congress next year assuming there are elections they need to quickly appoint a leadership that embraces all progressive candidates such as Zohran Mandani. Young Americans are not going to vote for the current incumbents like Schumer, Jeffries et al
Run candidates younger people will vote for
Yep
If it was only snark, I’d agree - I’m also weary of most anti-Djt (“orange-fill-in-the-blank”) satire - fun for “us” but ultimately juvenile bc ineffectual. But gcn’s bit supports action - and boomerangs back to its source - brilliant and brave in a sea of weary efforts
But seriously -what charges
I wish this thread was about the original post’s claim - I’d like to hear thoughts about what constitutes civil war in this era of wars mostly being undeclared
It’s what she does for a living. Also she’s a creator ffs.
📌It's really incredible watching legacy media cover Trump while he covers for Russia during these laughable negotiations. "Trump said this." "Then Trump said that." "Trump did this, and then he did that." Literally no fact-checking. No context. Just repeating his bullshit. Mostly, NO journalism.
They’re approving of the irony and of pointing out the absurdity of the scenario.
On what charge? Something made up, or are they not bothering?
The terms of the debate? What debate?
Chaos agents
Do we know where they are taking them?
I purchased a book yesterday and was surprised that the digital copy was significantly more $ than hardcopy or paperback!
What this guy said!
What people need to understand is that the founders created America specifically to enable what Newsom is doing. The states are supposed to have enough power to fight back like this. A united state is supposed to be the strongest protective force against an oppressive federal government.
I think I attended and missed the same tour! Also reminds me: my mom wouldn’t let me wear the really cool shimmery “yes” shirt I spent my allowance on at the boardwalk T-shirt shop (remember those?!), and I didn’t get why til I had 13-yo girls of my own
This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government. (I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
This is what we need - make the press corps the story!
I, too, was in Canada for the last 2 weeks, but in Ontario. Folks there were friendly but absolutely united as a nation. It was striking
Marriage equality will be overturned by the Supreme Corpse. Then the Press Corpse will find a way to minimize the significance of this. Watch this space.
Pretty sure it is trained to never say “I don’t know.” Rather, it will make shit up and present it as a specific answer to a specific question. And they call it a “hallucination” as if it is YOUR perception that is off. Hence, literally, “programmed to deceive.” Welcome to the hotel California.
Heh, that's something that had never occurred to me: LLMs essentially are automated, individualized tech industry hype men, happily lying to users about what they can do and then utterly failing to do it.
i don't think it helps that the llms constantly lie to the user about the capabilities of llms as part of its whole obsequious fawning style of interaction that oversells its abilities and obscures its obvious limitations by fundamentally misrepresenting how the technology works
Agreed. His de-humanizing language used to describe any of the population is exactly what Hitler did and every other dictator does. His racism is blatant. Never forget... he took out a full page ad in a NY newspaper encouraging the execution of 5 men of color...who were found to be innocent.
Good one. Here’s- tweak: it’s not a distraction; it’s an example.
The Polish playbook?

I received an email in response to my letter - they claimed they took it down temporarily bc of low aesthetic quality and will reinstate it soon (complete)
Again, let them. The more ugliness the better to wake people up
Let him shut them down
Yes - people believe this. And many (so many!) also believe that grown men hitting on teen girls is biologically normal thus ethically acceptable. It’s like the last taboo quiet part they still aren’t “liberated” to say aloud. but they’re free to condone and vote for it.
I do know how to spell btw!
Congraduations! You give me hope!
The reason why sexual assault/abuse/exploitation is not reported: 📌 People do not believe the victim 📌 The perp has connections with local LE 📌 Reporting it ends up in victim blaming 📌 Reporting an assault has more risks than benefits
What is the justification for the renovation price tags to be classified? So much for transparency
Yet, as a grown ass woman, she was apparently offended and “mad at” Conor Mcgregor for sending her unsolicited dick-pics. Nice for her that she had the media power to humiliate him for it. Epstein victims essentially, and often legally, voiceless.
Blatantly racist. So tired of this shit
I don’t think so. The brand of Christian macho-nationalism we are facing will not respond to well reasoned, Christ-centered rhetoric nearly as much as your average secular Dem will. They would rather give up Christ than give up their hate. How do we know? Bc we are already living it
But he’s talking about the network he just favored with a sweetheart billion dollar merger?
Thank you, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley! @wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social
This is what I’ve hoped and thought since they won, but it sure is scary and sickening in the meanwhile
Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man. Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.
Brainwashed tin hats will believe it based on their profound insight into when their king is practicing reverse psychology on them: “it’s blatantly obvious thus we’re too smart to fall for it”
I believe the many many many women and girls
I feel so sorry for all those kids who applied ED.
I hope he has good security detail
I wish I could issue a vote of “no confidence” in the U.S. government.
It only takes one sentence to describe America in 2025.
Do any of these bullet point fall under the umbrella of “governing”?
When was this?
Not a bad plan. It would definitely bring some balance back to the force.
Love love love this campaign
Shades of Arlo Guthrie and Alice’s Restaurant… 🔥

Are we really so hard up for people willing to go into politics that a law against felons holding ANY public office isn’t a no-duh?
#BookSky
It will never not boggle the mind that Maxwell was tried and convicted of trafficking the Epstein girls, yet miraculously none of the men who raped them were ever charged. As a reward for the prosecutor not dragging the Johns into the case, Trump just fired her.
Thank you for my Bluesky giggle of the day - I relate and empathize.
Not sure why it’s suddenly a big deal given he’s long an adjudicated rapist and sociopathic predator. I’ll take it. I just don’t believe they’ll hold him accountable
Honestly I’m kinda surprised he’s that artistic
Even if true (which it is not), she’s claiming that nearly 30% are being subjected to kidnapping without due process, and into inhumane conditions, for misdemeanors of being here illegally - where ;beyond Bluesky) is the outrage over that?
Tax the rich, stop robbing the poor. #SocialistSunday
www.publicnotice.co/p/john-rober... This is a bad read but it is important background - the Roberts Court is 100% unfit. Roberts has to go to protect the tattered remains of Democracy. Without reform of SCOTUS the Constitution is just more right wing bullshit.
If you are an elected New York Dem and you are not endorsing the ***WINNER OF THE DEM PRIMARY***, you are part of the problem. www.politico.com/newsletters/...
To be clear, I like Mamdani. I just chose a bad faith right wing framing to shoot down his most popular ideas because I hate myself.
How do they define “able-bodied” on Medicaid? What is the source of that? Ex, are service workers who need Medicaid bc they have no benefits in this group?
This is really scary. And this is BEFORE their $kicks in.
Yes, Mexico showed up to help, even with all the hate.
So… this is the worst they can come up with? He’s in good shape, then.
