If you are 38 years old or older, I want you to start working on your foot strength and ankle mobility. Unless I hate you. Then I want you to rest for ten years and then suddenly try to hop off a step one day, cold.

No wonder they’re trying to erase any history about slavery, Jim Crow, etc.

I remember… if any adult alive during Covid in 2020 selectively forgot the gruesome death rate, the morgue trucks in NYC, the seniors dying … well fuck Joe Rogan

Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · last wk.

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...

Fauci's greatest sin was believing these people could be reached.

Katie Miller, a former Trump administration staffer and wife of White House adviser Stephen Miller, has called for Anthony Fauci to be jailed over his diary entries. But that very diary reveals a close relationship between the two… trib.al/RdceeXR

you know which state had the second most Trump voters in 2024? over six million of them? almost beat out Texas for first? that’s right, deep blue California the man won’t even help out his own voters if their neighbors didn’t vote for him

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Stop treating wealthy white men like gods. Most will never be them. All will be used by them, however possible. And too many white people are convinced they, too, will be them. www.ms.now/opinion/elon...

Anthony L. Fisher: The economy and millions of retirement accounts are tied to the fortunes of an unstable, race-baiting conspiracy theorist.

"The U.S. economy and millions of Americans’ retirement accounts are tied to the fortunes of an unstable, thuggish race-baiting conspiracy theorist." Chickens. Colonel Sanders.

We have an affordability crisis and the economy is on the struggle bus. Republicans control all three branches of the government. The media seems to be very muted about this. Would that be the case if Dems controlled all three branches of the government?

"The economy grew at an annualized rate of 1.5% over three months ending in June, marking a slight slowdown from 2.1% growth recorded in the previous quarter. The figure came in lower than economists' expected."

“Love how you stick to your messaging herr Goebbels!“ Soon you’ll see these folks commend Trump for always breaking something new to keep dems off-balance. Like the “weave” which is definitely 100% not a sign of senility.

We’re in unprecedented territory and the media’s out here marveling at how good the Nazis are at messaging.

“The media loves Trump and wants him to win” has a nasty overlooked corollary: “the media hates democrats and wants them to lose.” No other reason for this disingenuous framing.

David Corn@davidcorn.bsky.social · last wk.

This shows the gap between GOP & Dem. messaging. The Republicans NEVER stop pressing their false narratives. They bang the drums over & over. The Dems make their case & move on. They should have been non-stop pummeling Trump for Covid (and 1/6) for years, never letting anyone forget these sins.

It was never about a genocide anywhere. It’s all performance theater.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · last wk.

Just wondering, where all the “say it’s a genocide” folks have been when it comes to Sudan and Myanmar?

So SM influencer Jared Guynes has gone viral on book of Faces about his interaction with members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority incorporated as he was in Vegas during the time of their Boulé conference. Has anyone told him that one was running for President 2 years ago? I wonder if he voted for her?

Do all they do on threads is yell at 🧔🏿‍♂️🧔🏿‍♀️👩🏿 and rage bait post? And it doesn't get boring and annoying after a while? Or maybe I've been too busy looking at BSB Sphere footage and getting ready for the new school year to notice/GAF about what they're chatting about.

I’ll add. Paraphasing “If you’re bullied for being a Christian, that’s one thing. If you’re bullied because you broke the law or are disturbing the peace… that’s another.” This lady will claim people don’t like her because she’s Christian when really they don’t like her cause she disturbed the peace

“You being unable to afford your family’s needs is worth it to me to keep pursuing carnage in a war that we’re losing.”

My favorite part was in 2016 when the Bernie Bros scoffed at the idea Hillary Clinton was sincerely opposed to Citizens United and it wasn’t just campaign rhetoric. They knew nothing about the history of that case or why HRC might have taken it personally.

Stop acting powerless & claim your power. You do have this. You do have agency. You do have an ability to impact the world. You only neglect your obligation to the human collective to do so. When you realize it's incumbent on each one who can act to act, a duty for our salvation, ways to move open.

Just a reminder to all the young women out there who don’t realize how long it took. Title IX didn’t come into effect until 1972. Marital rape wasn’t a CRIME nationwide until 1993.

Some of y’all think we joke or embellish. Read this. This is the way it was and what they’re trying to get back.

“New atheists” like Hitchens, Harris, and Dawkins, are actually in complete agreement with Trump-supporting evangelical Protestants on the most important point, which is the belief that the more bare-faced literal reading of scriptural texts is the only possible one.
