That's right everyone: we're going to bomb the money back.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 15h agoReporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.? Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.
Let's pitchbot this: Whether being run over or doing the running over, both sides have run-ins with bikes

I sure hope other Democratic candidates are paying attention. This is the WAY.
**°•.FAFO.•°**@fafo-ez-one.bsky.social · 18h agoJon Ossoff: "Never let them forget: They hunted the vice president to kill him. They built a gallows on the Capitol lawn. They assaulted police officers with flagpoles and bear spray, and they tried to seize the presidency for Donald Trump."
Happy birthday to Kim Cattrall! Yeah yeah, we know there are SOME people who think of her as Samantha from some other show, but we will always think of her as the duplicitous Valeris in the movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
If you ever find yourself wondering what "too little too late" looks like, it's this from Seth.

Long story short, there was a fanfic called “Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality,” things got out of hand, and now Africa doesn’t get AIDS medication. Try not to think too hard about it. It’ll just drive you insane.
step back for a moment and realize how ridiculous this is: the white house ballroom is intended to be a critical command and control facility for national security that will also host cocktail parties for presidential campaign donors
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 22h agoMonica Crowley suggests Trump might defy the Supreme Court if they don't allow him to build his ballroom: "I don't want to get in front of the president, but I do know that other options are being considered, because the president has committed to the completion of this project"
Natalie Harp chasing Trump’s golf cart is what happens when separation anxiety becomes an endurance sport.
If you're against more bike lanes, congrats, you're on the side of the president and Project 2025. Maybe think about that for a few minutes.

All I'm saying is that excommunication is still a thing.
Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis@kendrawrites.com · yesterdayThis is the funniest shit. Florida allows religious exemptions for vaccines. Catholic schools in Florida: we require vaccines. Florida's attorney general, who is Catholic, is threatening to pull vouchers if they don't allow for religious exemptions The Bishops: separation of church & state
“Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the Men’s store. A catnap in your office chair. Or seeing something amazingly clever.”

Dr. M.A. Davis@mikedavis.bsky.social · yesterdayPresidents At The Wrong Time Recently I posted how Herbert Hoover might be remembered as one of the greatest men of the century if he had become President in 1920, served two terms in a time of peace and prosperity, and then retired just in time for the Depression. This got me thinking. thread
I voted against the creation of ICE. We must abolish ICE and hold Trump's thugs accountable.
Food trucks lower the capital barrier to owning a food business, give working people access to inexpensive food, allow immigrant cuisines to flourish without first being translated for white investors, and turn otherwise anonymous pieces of urban sidewalk into tiny gathering places.

I still remember last year when Seth Moulton visited my nonprofit to learn about the impact of Medicaid cuts. One mom of a medically complex disabled child was in tears describing how cuts could threaten her son's life. Moulton spent the entire time looking at talking points for an upcoming speech.
Paul@pawlbologna.bsky.social · 2d agoReporter Mike Lynch shares a story about meeting Seth Moulton at Logan while in a wheelchair: I said." hi SETH, how are you?! He stared into my eyes and never said a word but gave me a look that I interpreted it as how dare you address me? I was embarrassed. I was humiliated and I was a tad angry.”
michael wolff’s hard drives should be seized by a guerrilla army of journalists who will actually write the fucking stories that need to be written instead of waiting for a personally advantageous moment to trickle them out
The Daily Beast@thedailybeast.bsky.social · 2d agoMichael Wolff is revealing two “red flag” letters Harp sent Trump in full.
It's like Amnesty International UK have never heard of the Streisand Effect. I fully intend on challenging this DMCA strike and force them to litigate this in federal court in the US if they want to take it down. This is squarely fair use.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 2d agoI've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
Ed Markey's final debate against Moulton starts in about 15 minutes, you can watch it at the link below Yes, I'd love it if Ed Markey were 20 years younger. But the thing is, I've worked with Ed's office a bunch. I trust Ed Markey far more than I would ever trust Moulton. Moulton is despicable.
TONIGHT: Markey-Moulton debate for final time before primary

I need both general and sector-specific advice on “should I start a NGO to focus specifically on attacks on civilians with small drones, and if so, how should I set that up?” If anyone has suggestions.
I think the platonic ideal of an approval poll is 27/69 so everyone can go “crazification factor, nice”
Economist Rosa Luxemburg wrote about Germany's first genocide in Africa. "The goal [was] to crush, drive out, or exterminate Black Africans, to destroy their forms of social organization, to appropriate their land, and to compel them to work in conditions of exploitation."

Citizen.Coping@propcazhpm.bsky.social · 11mo agoYes, and not to mention Germany's practice run in Africa. We recall their genocide in (now) Namibia of many thousands of Herero and Nama peoples from 1904 to 1908. Violent colonization, theft, and murder. They learned tactics and that the world would let them do it.
Urbanist Walter Sobchak. You look at a Dutch intersection, Dude. Beautiful, protected, separated phases. The fietser is safely behind the bollard. Across this line, you do not drive! Also, Dude, "cyclist" is not the preferred nomenclature. Active transportation user, please.
