And the point of this photograph is to bring that moment to life and show the grace of this man’s god shining through all the filth and dross of mortal existence. And it does it really fucking well, if you ask me. It fucking GLOWS.

Whoever is writing this on behalf of.. United States, I guess, doesn’t understand the main issue here - you are now explaining yourself after messing up the relations with India after DJT demanded Modi to nominate him for a Nobel peace prize for “solving the war between India and Pakistan”. SAD.

Chicago this Labor Day… Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve
Belichick is also a symptom of the complete enshitification of UNC since the MAGA takeover of that once decent institution. It started when they denied tenure to Nikole Hannah-Jones and she fled to Howard Now it is run by slavering racists who thought they could buy a national championship.
2/ forced him out of the race in the final stretch. totally unprecedented in American history. meanwhile you've got Trump showing up in public events with parts of his body looking like morgue photos and talking like he's playing mad libs and yet ... I guess the elite press ran out of reckoning ...
ive got no idea what's going on with Trump's health. But the 'biden precedent' is just so glaring and hilarious. half of 2025 has been taken up with elite press shaming of how no one ever talked abt Biden's age which was actually their main topic in 2024. Ok. Set aside that his party literally ...
The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a boss😏" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.

Trump is getting Biden'd: Bad vibes on the economy and inflation. Tons of congressional investigations, concerns about his age.

Yes, Myrtle accomplished this feat in 1931, the same year we legalized gambling in Nevada, and there were more than a few bets placed on Myrtle to not make it.

So yes or no?!?! Word salad smh
I applaud Nadlers for doing the right thing. This is real leadership and an action that reveals a man cares more about the country than his ego. If only this would inspire other Dem leaders to do the same... www.axios.com/2025/09/02/n...

🚨🚨🚨If you live anywhere in the greater Chicago area…ICE will start using Great Lakes Naval Station as a command center for their “enforcement” operations across Chicago on Sept 5.

THIS. Without serious backup, the only people who can risk ✨speaking truth to power✨ are OTHER people who are rich & powerful. The billionaires are already in charge. There's no way to Simply Cleanse The System Of Money at this point. That takes deep legal reform...which takes winning elections.
no it's the "law doesn't protect us it protects our employers" mindset lol

As of 3:20 pm ET, @thexylom.com is projecting roughly 220k - 492k Americans attending Labor Day rallies nationwide, using a methodology developed by @gelliottmorris.com. That would put "Workers over Billionaires" on track as one of the 20 largest protests and demonstrations in American history:
It is beyond wild to me that there is zero coverage of "Workers over Billionaires" rallies anywhere on The New York Times or The Washington Post right now. This is a colossal failure in journalism. Mainstream media can't just pretend that hundreds of thousands of protesters don't exist
Right-wing billionaires who own the media are enabling the Trump regime’s authoritarian takeover. This is why it is so critical to support independent journalism right now. Traditional media is no longer a trustworthy source of information for the public to stay informed and fight against fascism.
Training data is one big ethical problem with "AI". That's how it ends up being racist with things like facial identification (because most images online are white people and processing is poor on darker skin). See e.g. www.siam.org/publications...

I don’t know what did or didn’t happen to Trump, but what I do know is the country has the right to know the truth.
Wtf is with people leaving their SUVs and monster trucks running while they are dining and shopping?!Ranting from the Sprouts parking lot today but I’ve seen this a lot lately
In order to get a weather forecasting job with the National Weather Service, applicants now have to name at least two Trump Executive Orders and state how they plan to help support them. Which is ridiculous and shame on every MIC that allows that nonsense in their WFO!
So first they create a crisis by snatching the people who actually do the building and increasing the cost of building (Trump Tariff/Tax) - and then declare an emergency and take tarifs back - and I guess send the national guard to build homes? The stupidity is mind boggling.
* BESSENT: WE MAY DECLARE NATIONAL HOUSING EMERGENCY IN THE FALL @bloomberg.com
His administration is more authoritarian than ever, the red states are as aggressive as ever, the destruction of our health care system is worse than ever—and Trump doesn’t seem particularly engaged or even well. What’s up as we enter September? Tim and JVL discuss. youtu.be/N3XMfXXnD4I?...

ditto with The Handbasket. without “blueskyism” i would not have a successful independent journalism outlet. turns out you don’t need to battle nazis to reach people.
So Woodrow Wilson and Trump may have more in common than just racism.

I don’t normally ask to hear from the president but it’d be nice to see if he can still complete a sentence
Anyway, my friends at Bluesky proper should start marketing this place with these kinds of quotes. It makes this website seem like the fucking Thunderdome when in reality it's a place where I post pictures of Viscous Brown Food-Like Substance On A Plate solely to unnerve people.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Critics of Andrew Bailey, Trump's pick to help run the FBI, say the Missouri AG got the attention of the White House by following Trump’s tactic of targeting political opponents. “What better way to show loyalty than to do exactly what Trump wants,” one said. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social
In the same way you saw white people get rid of public pools just to avoid swimming with Black people, it's fairly clear that women's sports are being degraded as a sacrifice for targeting trans athletes in sports.
The 1970s brought a backlash to civil rights. The 1980s brought a backlash to feminism. Anytime you read about transgender rights being rolled back, it's pretty easy to see how transgender people are squarely in the "fill the pool with concrete" phase. www.marketplace.org/story/2021/0...
A pre-dog-walk 🧵 on the pandemic. To me, the lesson of the pandemic is a very familiar one, although as far as I can tell, no one is talking about it or learning it (which is also familiar). It's about the contrast between America's two political parties.

I'm a big Jeffries critic. But my entire extended family is way more mobilized by Jeffries's framing. I hear a lot from my fam about Trump ending Black History Month in the fed government. Constantly evident that there is not one (1) Black person in that network of Dem pollster consultants
Remember Nate Silver refuses to use Bluesky and says you'd have to pay him over a million dollars to use it, so I'm going to suggest he not only doesn't know what "normal" people like, he doesn't even know what Bluesky is.... Signal and the noise guy is full of noise once again.

So, terrorist Russia, in its escalation, is suspected of GPS jamming the plane carrying the EU chief.
Russia is a terrorist state, and that's the team Trump wants to play on.

From yesterday!! Looks like the Lincoln bedroom sitting window. Should definitely be a question at the next press conference. Although there's probably a lot more that'll be asked if Trump hasn't spoken publicly yet!
they are basically saying, “don’t you know that you lost?!? believe something else so that you can win!”
i think it is interesting that this view appears to come primarily from people who cannot imagine believing something for non-instrumental reasons

Excellent NYT story ruined by one subhead and one paragraph. No, red-state governors are not going to "rethink" putting their National Guardsmen on their own streets if it brings down crime. As one expert explained, "It’s designed to humiliate political opponents." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
