history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

@bricepaterik.bsky.social Just wanna say I'm glad you're here dude. Sucks that we don't have more Dallas sports representation on Bluesky but I appreciate that you're sticking around. Says a lot about your character. As @mfollowill.bsky.social would say - preciate ya, pal.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

imo take this a step further and ask yourself, "how many people have to be in camps, and how bad do the conditions in the camps have to be, before i would consider it imperative to remove trump from office, even outside the normal constitutional mechanisms of end-of-term transition or impeachment?"
if one takes literally and seriously the idea that one of your political parties are nazis the notion that this is forbidden seems absurd
fucking up legislatures with literal violence on the floor is a time-tested parliamentary tactic. not one you want to use lightly but sometimes you can shut down the floor when everything else is exhausted.

Kind of weird how much we've separated egg prices from the h5n1 virus. Like we get that's why eggs are expensive? Because we've failed to contain it and farmers have had to cull large amounts of chickens leading to a reduction in production?

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

Nothing has cemented how much the Democrats don’t give a shit as much as this. They demand and expect money and votes to ‘protect democracy’, but won’t lift a finger to actually protect it. It’s just a scam.

Mass demonstrations continue across Germany against the far right.
The USA has an actual far right government intent on doing untold harm but where are the demonstrations?
What’s everyone waiting for? Or don’t people believe in demonstrating?

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

Update here... NFC title game appearances since the Cowboys last made it:

8: 49ers, Eagles, Packers
4: Falcons, Panthers, Rams, Vikings
3: Buccaneers, Giants, Saints, Seahawks
2: Bears, Cardinals
1: Commanders, Lions
🚨 With Washington's win, every single other NFC team has been to the NFC title game more recently than the Dallas Cowboys.

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US

We are the only highly developed nation without it

Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation

US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare

I'd like to take a minute to unpack Texas electoral politics.

First, my favorite fact:
In the 2024 election, more people in TEXAS voted for HARRIS/WALZ than in the state of NEW YORK (or any other state than California).

There are more Democrats here than in Washington State PLUS Massachusetts.
Why is nobody talking about how Shamsud-Din Jabbar came from a place with sick and cruel extremist beliefs inimical to American values, a place that poses a constant threat to our freedoms

Fuckin nailed it.
For years the debate in front of me was "Democrats are feckless weak compromising losers without principles or imagination, interested only in their own paychecks and the donor class" versus "Democrats are the only thing between us and the abyss" and I am deeply concerned everyone was right.

A big thank you to #NBA @bsky.app. > 300 replies/quotes.

All real NBA talk. Only 2 hide/blocks.

Social Media is Social again. Get your basketball fans and fam on here !
The NBA doesn't have a 3 pt shot problem.

3's have skyrocketed this yr because it's the most protected shot.

Inside the 3 line, there can be all kinds of contact.
Outside the 3 line, you can't even be in the "landing zone", and most guys just fly by to contest.

Of course there are more 3s

Mom, who has no idea about internet announcer discourse, just texted out of nowhere to ask me who is calling the Rams-Bills game and when I told her she just responded “Tom Brady sucks. I thought it was Tony Romo. I don’t like him either.”
