President Donald Trump’s long-shot bid to rekindle the kind of economic supremacy that saw the 1900s declared “America’s Century” risks isolating it from the region that’s reigned supreme so far in the 2000s — Asia.

Pretty sure hundreds of people just here on Bluesky warned that the rush to mass-hire unvetted ICE agents was going to result in things like this.
And if it means the police and ICE become enemies, that would be awesome.

Man in GA tased 15 times in 15 minutes, for walking while black, died on the side of the road. He was stopped for trespassing because he wanted some water to fill up his coke bottle. I hope these deputies go to prison for a very long time.

E. Files were just a sideshow. They wanted the government shut down to cause chaos and destroy trust in institutions.
Plus the side benefit of hurting govt employees, ie unofficial layoffs.

we should have art and it should be broadly accessible
in terms of well being and happiness imo). In the face of the most overt brutality it's easy to be like 'hard to get mad about access to art when people are being starved and bombed' which has a point but these things all come from the same basic social logic of indifferences to human flourishing.

#MegynKelly, I was 15 when a 50 year old pedophile former cop physically backed me into a corner.
He literally asked me if I was afraid of him. I said yes.
Proceeded to molest me. Oh, & was also raping my friend at the time.
He got away with everything, because the system allows it.
Fuck you.

John Oliver reacts to Megyn Kelly seemingly downplaying Epstein's sex crimes by arguing that “there’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old.”:
“Look, I am clearly no stranger to sharing upsetting numbers with my audience, but please do kill me if I ever start doing pedophile math”

🧵Translation: Johnson rehearsed this with Trump. ⬇️
Johnson comes out against Trump's support for releasing the Epstein files. What a RINO!
Mike Johnson expresses concern that requiring the Epstein files to come out "could ruin the reputations of completely innocent people, such as those who may just have known Epstein but knew nothing of his crimes or whose names he exploited and used to try to get close to his intended victims."
