A friend told me that her American dad got in touch to talk about some news he'd seen on Facebook: there are riots in England over DEI, and the King dramatically burst into parliament to tell Starmer off, and then Prince William did the same to Sadiq Khan. AI really is inventing bold new universes

Go a step farther and use this list - bsky.app/profile/psyc.... Stop all subscriptions that you can to those companies and instead donate the money to PBS, or any other organization boldly holding the line against fascism. They must learn that bending the knee isn't profitable.

Omg did not realize until watching @chrislhayes.bsky.social that ICE had a warrant for four Latino men when they came onsite to the GA plant. So basically they saw a lot of other nonwhite people and just decided to detain them all?? What’s the reasonable suspicion

After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump and his allies wasted no time crafting an insidious and baseless narrative: that the left is violent, the right is under siege, and only they can restore order. Sound familiar? The Nazis tried the same playbook.

Trump and the GOP are itching to exploit Kirk’s murder to expand their authoritarian aims

Cannot be overstated that they caught the shooter, who had evaded Kash Patel’s FBI for days, because his dad turned him in. For all their bluster and spectacular, performative aggression, none of these people have any clue what the fuck they’re doing, nor possess the attention-spans to keep it up.

Shortly after posting my reaction to a white supremacist getting packed up, my Bluesky account was suspended for 24-hours.

The reason given as outlined in the email below was "incitement to violence".

This may strike you as strange because saying "LMAO" is not incitement. Well, there's more!

This is unreal.

Jesus would be hanging out with the people Brian Kilmeade wants the state to murder.

They do not follow God
I hardly believe my own ears.

FOX host Brian Kilmeade suggests KILLING homeless people.

BRIAN KILMEADE (FOX HOST): Or involuntary lethal injection.

JONES: Yeah.

KILMEADE : Or something. Just kill them.

I remind you that Kirk was NOT an elected official or official of any kind.

The fact that TACO made a statement about his death, while remaining silent about the assassination of Melissa Hortman speaks volumes.

I also know of no protocol whatsoever to lower the United States flag for the

So much for freedom of speech or freedom to disagree with your government.
