A wonderful example of how neo-Confederates appropriate Black history during #BlackHistoryMonth. This AI-generated image not only politicizes this subject, but creates the impression that African Americans embrace this history. Notice the thumb looks like a finger and there is no left hand.🗃️

Trump’s remarks on the crash being caused by diversity are disgusting and Democrats who don’t say so because they narrowly lost one election are making a catastrophic, indefensible moral and political error.

In July we rescued Rusty from a short chain under a shack in the jungle in Thailand.
We found him a home in England.
Today he saw snow for the first time in his life and it was just brilliant… (1/5)

Brief thread on how we got here: Since the GOP won control of the House 2 years ago they have not passed a single appropriations package into law. Government has operated at funding levels set by Dems 2 years ago via continuing resolutions every few months. This is not normal.

Word is that Fetterman is considering voting for Hegseth. Especially if you live in Pennsylvania, he could use some incoming calls. That's just ridiculous!

The Arctic Ocean could see its first ice-free day as early as 2027, with a likely window within 9-20 years after 2023. This won’t bring dramatic change overnight, but it marks a fundamental shift in the Arctic’s natural environment—a stark warning about climate change. #ActOnClimate

Important and alarming discussion.
2) Kids 'these days' can't really tell you where they read their news, what their favourite outlet is etc. I went to an event at SOAS aged 17 and someone there was from Reuters. I knew what Reuters was and what it did. The kids yesterday had heard the name, but didn't really know. Same re rivals.

This is not necessary because Trump & Musk said they would cut the fed budget by 33% while increasing defense spending to record levels without touching these things. So get that done - you run everything now. No excuses. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Rep. Richard McCormick: "We're gonna have to have some hard decisions. We're gonna have to bring in the Democrats to talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There's hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved, we just have to have the stomach to take those challenges on."

When your MAGA uncle wonders why Trump is threatening tariffs and raising the prices of everything, after he repeatedly promised to do the opposite, look him straight in the eye and gently whisper:

My thoughts on Trump’s nomination of the diet supplement salesman to head the FBI:
@frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social on Trump's new FBI director pick: “As they're pursuing Trump's enemies, what are they not doing? Are they not working that violent gang? Are they not working the corrupt Republican mayor, Congressman, and governor in your city, state, county? That's a problem."
