the fact that a billionaire can randomly throw $100,000,000 into a campaign against taxing the rich seems like the best argument yet they can afford it

A conspiracy theorist, not me mind you, a conspiracy theorist would say there never was any threat against Trump and someone in the administration just wanted an excuse to stuff him in a catering truck
Aaron Schaffer@aaronschaffer.com · 22h ago!!!
So, you're telling me Trump used journalists as human decoys during the NATO summit, then subpoenaed them for reporting on the security failures that led to the deception. There really is no low that man will not sink to.
We’ve seen these guys spike the football before, but watching Emil Bove, of all people, swearing in Todd Blanche — in the Oval, not Main Justice — is not exactly subtle.

Two years ago today: Steph Curry hits four 3-pointers in the final 2 minutes to help Team USA hold off a tenacious France team 98-87 in the gold medal game. (Because of the time difference, it was Aug. 11 in France.) Last time I felt patriotic.
i personally think polymarket and all companies like it should be regulated out of existence and their assets seized by the state

Trump suffers 'brutal' humiliation as his 'supposed digestive incidents' fuel foe's attack
President Donald Trump is no stranger to launching racist and offensive attacks on his perceived enemies, but one rising star in the Democratic Party is refusing to take such attacks lying down, Zeteo...

Trump’s whole thing as do whatever he can get away with. Worked extremely well until he made the strategic error of surrounding himself with warmongering dopes who think maps are for homos.
🗽LOLGOP🗽@thefarce.org · yesterdayThrowing Solemani in there is a threat and a reminder. It also shows why Trump is incapable of dealing with anyone who isn't limited by the way he beats everyone else: The rules.
The wickedness of this is obscene. Never vote for a Republican for any office. It's the party of bigotry, xenophobia, and racism.
Yael Schacher@yaelschacher.bsky.social · 2d agoSo many immigrants I've interviewed break down about this. "Monsanto Maler was one of several Haitian immigrants who traveled from Springfield for a check in...after an ankle monitor was attached to him, Maler was seen collapsing to the ground and crying." www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/hundre...
Getting blocked for pointing out that Sundown towns were real, that the movie The Purge even used Sundown town sirens, and that the premise of the Purge is dystopian horror for white people, but echoes reality for Black people.🤷🏿♂️ I'm OK with the block.
Mekka Okereke@mekka.mekka-tech.com · 2d agoExcept... The Purge was not an absurd premise? It was real, and really happened. The real life version of the purge wasn't one night a year. It was every single night. Again, a lot of dystopian horror is just "What if someone treated us the way we treated Black people?"
RIP Don Nelson, he retired to Hawai’i to play poker and smoke weed and look like this, he’s literally the goal
So this appears to confirm my theory that maga is welfare for losers. White washed out of the NBA, but maga lets him be an “alpha male” who is tired of your woke bullshit.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoRoyce White on Fox News: "I'm just having a blast in my feminine area. I never thought I was a woman. I've always trusted science and thought I was a man, but after further review, a strong look at my personal preferences, it would appear I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman"
Personally, as a trans person who is a long-time WNBA fan, y'all gotta stop worrying about this. There's nothing you can do about shitty people being shitty. Stand on business, defend trans people, don't let the bigots think they are normal or right or accepted. The rest is out of your control.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 3d agosomething i’ve been thinking about is whether or not there’s a way to rightfully condemn anti-trans comments by people with a public profile without elevating their celebrity/importance + serving them on a platter to the right wing media ecosystem. the cycle is painfully disturbing and predictable.
X is a platform for fraud. Fraud is a crime. X is owned by Musk. Musk is a criminal.
Dom Ervolina@dominicervolina.com · 3d agoElon devised new rules to ensure only posts that align with his ideals can get paid "original reporting or analysis, videos and photos taken by the user, as well as graphics or illustrations made by the creator...commentary or reactions still qualify, as long as they “add something meaningful.”"
It’s the racism and they are using it because it works .
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 3d ago“This is very real redlining…It is appropriating rural, Black-owned land and converting it for industrial purposes, and it’s being done by people who have no historical or cultural tie to the land. These are not people who are local, developing their land for industrial use.”
More and more we see … republicans and megalomaniacs don’t have to be convinced to talk to - artists - writers - Black people Plainly and directly but the people who claim to advocate for them Always have an excuse
…Once Riley Gaines is involved, you should know you’re a loser
Because the white American Right owns the American media.
Linda Patch 💙🌊🐶@lindapatch.bsky.social · 4d agoJoe Biden had a bad debate in 2024. Hundreds of news stories about it. Trump has had hundreds of bank accounts closed due to evidence of money laundering. Nary a peep. Why?
This is incredibly disturbing. The number of cases in Mississippi alone of Black people who met their deaths in dubious/highly suspicious ways, only for authorities to shrug it off and do a piss poor job if investigating...there are so many names

Really? Because I keep seeing them in charge of everything from car dealerships to the White House, and they seem to doing just fine despite their obvious handicaps.
Lol does anyone have a photo of Mitch discharged from the hospital? Hearing a lot of he "says" but did he say it or was it written in a prepared statement? Who has SEEN this man with their own two eyes or heard him speak in the last 2 months?!

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 6d agoEl-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.

Republicans nearly immediately resorted to Islamophobic attacks after Abdul El-Sayed's win in Michigan, sparking defiance from El-Sayed. “They want to use my whole name against me,” El-Sayed said. “Mike, listen, man. If you can’t say the name, it’s Abdulrahman, keep the name out your damn mouth.”
