She thinks she’s the victim because her high schooler told her he’s not allowed to say “r*tard” at school.
She’s absolutely indignant. She thinks it’s her right to throw slurs at special needs kids.

I'm currently watching telecom lawyers across about five different policy issues argue in three different courts that the FCC no longer has the authority to enforce ANY consumer protections (net neutrality, racial discrimination in broadband, predatory fees), and they're very likely going to win

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

Also, if you're considering someone to run a federal department with 3,200,000 employees, an annual budget over $850 billion, and literal life-and-death consequences, maybe don't give the keys to someone who's never run *any* organization before but wears a BIG GOVERNMENT SUCKS sticker.
When i worked at @mmfa.bsky.social, we had a picture of Hegseth above the sink as a reminder to wash our hands

Now that Mike Huckabee will be ambassador to Israel, it’s worth noting that three years before Huckabee was elected Lt. Gov of Arkansas in 1993, this guy (Ralph Forbes) got 46% of the GOP primary vote for that same office.

To all who have recently migrated to Bluesky, I offer you a hearty welcome. And some unsolicited advice. As a Twitter/X refugee myself, please know this place is different. There is no value in amassing followers. No one cares. Rather, BS is about respectful engagement & meaningful relationships.

It’s all a matter of perspective.
I was feeling sad, then angry, but now I’m motivated. I want to fight for the sun, and not immediately predict the end of times… but fear can be a natural part of the process.

The fine art photography of Natalia Drepina (Russia) explores human frailty, fears, and melancholy, often in cold, quiet dreamscapes with a tinge of ominousness. Her conceptual realm is reminiscent of dark fairytales, conveyed through a soft, gloomy, painterly aesthetic and a sense of sorrow.
