Look on the bright side: if the dipshit in what's left of the White House could read the launch codes for America's nuclear weapons arsenal, we'd all be dead

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2mo ago

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Yeah, just look at what they did to the White House

Dr Oz denounces "crypto thieves" who "back their truck up to the federal treasury, and dump cash out. And then they use that money to do really bad things."

I hope people get what’s possible here in Michigan. We could get our trifecta back. We could elect the first Muslim American senator in history of the US Senate. And our first non-lesbian Jewish attorney general. On the same ticket. Better things are possible.

Affordability.

No. Just NO. Not when there are people without food. 🤢🙄

I honestly don’t care if you like us or where you come from, everyone should be treated, nurtured, loved and protected in a safe and loving environment, especially immigrants considering what ICE is doing alongside the GOP and Republican parties is unacceptable. 🔥🤝 #Tinakotek #oregon #portland

Tina Kotek@tinakotek.bsky.social · yesterday

ICE is brutalizing Oregon’s communities. Those are our neighbors, our small business owners, and the parents of kids in our schools. I’m standing up against ICE and the Trump administration’s violence, and as your governor, I will always work to keep our communities safe.

Something I think is important, that other folks have tended to skip over ... the DOJ argument relies on the effect of hypothetical confused voters, but Alaska uses ranked choice voting, and confusion wouldn't disenfranchise anyone. They could simply rank both Sullivans without a problem.

broke a man the first time i told him this. He came up to me and said "I just don't like tattoos" and I said "well, I'm not trying to have sex with You" and I saw something permanently rotate inside him

"men don't like short hair" "men don't like tattoos" "you'd be prettier if you lost weight" sir, let's get on the same page: I am not trying to fuck you

AHEM. "I don't know anything about a stepfather! You just keep talking!" So abuser claims to "know nothing" about the abuser 🙄 as he abuses another woman reporter.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Something that makes me laugh about history is all these wars Scotland was in during like the 1600s and 1700s, and you might think (based on Braveheart and also the history of *Ireland’s* conflicts) that they were about Scottish independence or Freedom! or fighting against tyranny but lol nope.

Meanwhile, we (in Scotland) have a named storm chugging through this weekend, and my disabled American ass/arse is putting together a shopping list of shelf stable food, because I have lived through enough weather events to know better than to laugh these things off.

Hannah Nicklin@hannahnicklin.bsky.social · 8h ago

Apparently UK folks are making fun of our first official recommendation to have a basic stock of light, water, food in case of a weather or power emergency? They’re only asking for 3 days! Many EU countries recommend 7d + the more you are supplied the more gov help can get to the more vulnerable.

This is how 1930s Germany ran. With one hand use ICE, with the other take the care disabled have to live. They intend death to who they see as undesirables. youtube.com/shorts/AD7cL...

I think if the cop is in genuine fear for their life from a one-year-old they need to find another line of work preferably not involving children or customer service

Techweenie@techweenie.bsky.social · 6h ago

I heard the murder of a 1 year old by a cop is considered "justified?" I mean it's not unusual for cops to 'fear for their lives' in response to a dog wagging its tail, or a vehicle driving away,or a person of another race holding a cellphone. But a 1 year-old?

If we did impeach, convict, and imprison the dipshit I'm not sure that there's enough left of him to understand what's happening to him

A new analysis shows early in-person voting among Black Georgians is up 33% compared with the first nine days of voting in 2022, while turnout among voters under 30 has jumped 54%. Among young Black voters, the increase is an eye-popping 80%. #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/202...

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

It sounds like hyperbole to suggest the current administration WANTS measles to become common again but I can’t think of much they’d be doing differently if they didn’t want that. (I think some of them really are eugenicists who legit prefer disease spread to prevention; others just don’t care)

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · yesterday

The CDC denied a request from California, Hawaiʻi, Oregon, and Washington to validate a high-volume measles test, citing “other priorities.” 🤨

I appreciate that Ramaswamy has said it's running that pathetic ad with Acton's estranged mother. Usually, such fuckery is done by some PAC to give a candidate plausible deniability and distance. But not Vivek. He's proudly saying, "I am that sleazy fucker."

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

There is a certain bleakness in finding hope where one expected certainty.
