Cannot say this enough: Most of the people in charge in the US right now are bottom of the barrel dipshits with very low competency, utterly deluded worldviews, no sense of community, and no moral or ethical compass.

Listened to a full, graphic hour on necrotizing fasciitis from @tpwky.bsky.social and it was much less gross than a 30 sec clip of the President insulting ppl from Somalia. Not even Fournier's gangrene is as bad as the garbage Trump spews.

Though she didn’t win, left-bent candidate Aftyn Behn ran well ahead of recent Democratic candidates in a deep-red district in Tennessee. It’s another strong sign of a midterm breeze against Trump and Republicans.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

I lost my job, I can't afford health insurance, and my son is about to get deployed to Venezuela. But at least I know I'll be able to buy Coca-Cola made with real cane sugar now.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

Golden Age of Travel you say? I'll get dressed up for a flight when seats go back to their original size, every up charge is eliminated, and flights are affordable. Until then, kindly shut the hell up.
As travelers head to the airports this holiday season, the U.S. government wants them to rethink their travel checklists, their behavior — and also, their outfits. It's a part of a new campaign by Sean Duffy, the secretary of transportation, that he called “The Golden Age of Travel Starts With You.”

In the richest city on Earth, 40% of NYC families can’t afford weekly food costs, and food prices are up 33% over the past decade.

It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.
