For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president
The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Yes! And Twitter sports people won't accept it. Twitter destroyed their sports reach by allowing blue checks to pay for visibility and putting their comments above all others. Most chuds don't watch sports at all and the first 10 comments you see on every post is about race or gender.
i was just thinking last night this is 100% better than twitter for sports. everyone i follow here was also watching the game and i could scroll and actually see a chronological timeline without any ads or random political bots sprinkles in
My weekly plea to tell your apolitical sports-enjoying buddies to stop using X and come to Bluesky. Tell them sports are here, major accounts, endless sports videos and highlights and stats and all that. Tell them they can have a timeline free of politics if they want. Just get them here.

About a week ago, the New York Times’ “The Daily” podcast portrayed Russell Vought as a devout Christian, a true “small government” conservative who loves the free market, and a man with a great work ethic. A remarkable combination of credulousness and deliberate whitewashing.
