Skeeting through it. Bacteria nerd from way back. What I write and repost reflects my own opinions and no one else’s. You pronounced this nonsense, not me.
HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here
Vatican theological commission defines ‘sin against creation and the Creator’ in new document
The more than 29,000 word text calls for ecological conversion due to “sin against creation and the Creator.”

Yeah cause they got sued for like 900 billion dollars or some crazy shit for false claims about the election.
Asha Rangappa@asharangappa.bsky.social · 13h agoBartiromo was the 4th TV appearance I ever made. (The first three were all on Fox: my first appearance was on Bill O’Reilly in 2007, lol — it was terrible). Anyway, I had been on w Jenna Lee and Neal Cavuto (in 2017), both of whom were really nice. Maria’s show was truly mean and awful. Bye girl
still can't get over how everyone in public office just decided that letting spammers make all cellphones unusable is just how life has to be
Trump again blames Ukraine for being invaded and bombed, and says he will be "asking" Europe to pay for munitions that Biden administration has sent to Ukraine. You are so friendly with the aggressor who made use of those munitions necessary. Why don't "ask" russia to pay you?
If this were any other minority group, it would be THE election story. Let’s be clear about what is happening right now: GOP and Trump administration are scapegoating trans folks like Nazis did to Jews. They dehumanize them, deny their existence/medical needs, and explicitly call for their “end.”
This is genocidal rhetoric from the president of the United States. Trump explicitly stated that if Dems win the midterms, “Transgender will never end.” The stated goal of the president of the United States and his party is to make transgender people “end.”
Kasey Gifford@kaseygifford.bsky.social · 3d agoSomeday soon hes going to be over and trans folk will continue to exist and, hopefully, thrive, for as long as there are humans on this planet.
Transphobia will be Republicans' central message in mid-term elections. Anti-trans measures are on the ballots in several states, for example, to distract voters from MAGA's policy failures and rampant corruption. 🧵

That's all they are doing in Ohio. One Ramaswarmy ad says if Amy Acton gets elected Governor our property taxes will quadruple and they show a mom telling her kids there is no food because Acton has made the affordability crisis worse. Looks like GOP is at end of bullshit rope
These people are just ridiculous. They screw over farmers and ranchers, their own voters, almost daily while continuing to invent new fantasies to avoid taking responsibility. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayBrooke Rollins: "I want to talk just for a second about what a President Kamala Harris would've looked like for farmers and ranchers. Ranchers would've been in prison."
debaathification of ICE/CBP without prison sentences for the violent offenders will end exactly as well as real debaathification did.
"Some people around Trump have concluded that he has little interest in spending the bulk of his super PAC funds on this year’s midterm races, according to a person with knowledge of internal conversations." LOL and, might I add, LMAO wapo.st/4zR1XUu
Republicans fear Trump will keep super PAC money and not spend on the midterms
President Donald Trump has kept most of his super PAC money on the sidelines and been reticent on his spending plans, worrying Republicans ahead of this fall’s elections.

Seriously the single biggest donor to the GOP posts Nazi shit on the regular and it’s not a thing covered in media at all
No starker example of the media having different rules for each political party. If the press treated Elon Musk like Hasan Piker, every Republican in America would be forced to answer questions about why their party's biggest donor espouses anti-semitic race science.

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light
Kim Kelly@kimkelly.bsky.social · last yr.things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes
Our generation is the only one with the correct amount of respect for the computer because until smartphones (and laptops that weren’t 10 pounds) became a thing, we usually needed to go to the Computer Shrine to use one. Put us in the proper mindset.

"people who are young" Lotta effort to avoid saying "children." In fact, back in my day [shakes fist], the phrase was "babies having babies."
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 3d agoFox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough: “The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”
They are collaborating with a guy who is a lame duck with 32% support.
Gregg Gonsalves@gregggonsalves.bsky.social · 3d agoYale’s Office of Public Affairs banned reporters from Yale’s campus today. It’s corroborated by Francie Diep in her story for the @chronicle.com. This was an attempt to squelch press coverage today of the rally protesting Yale’s attacks on freedom of expression, their pending deal with Trump. 1/
States only have rights when they block Black people from going to school, take away minority voters' ability to vote for somone that looks like them, withhold Medicaid expansion funding from poor people, and deny women reproductive health care. States never have the right to give us more rights.
doing whatever on actual votes is one thing but breaking with the caucus on a rule vote means the caucus should slit your throat
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 3d agoUnusual joint statement from House Dem leadership on MGP & Golden breaking and voting for the GOP rule today. Jeffries and his team call it “a significant breach of trust” requiring “a serious response.” Golden is retiring; MGP is up for reelection in a red-leaning district.
So Arizona State hired some random ex-Green Beret to lead a workout in 90°F that didn't even follow the Army's own physical fitness guidelines (e.g. he denied them water), the dude left before everyone completed the exercises, and now a 21 year old hockey player is in a coma and may never recover.

One of the (many) problems with chest-pounding sloganeering like "maximum lethality, not tepid legality" is that you're less likely to get any benefit of the doubt when you're accused of attacking civilians.
Even in this generational moment for Democrats, it’s not enough to just be younger. Primary voters need to believe the candidate has big ideas too. Markey won by highlighting his progressive credentials and casting Moulton to his right and as too tied to establishment orthodoxy.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 3d agoSen. Ed Markey defeats Rep. Seth Moulton to win his Democratic primary, @nbcnews.com projects. Markey is 80; Moulton is 47. But Markey played up his progressive credentials and cast doubt on Moulton’s. Markey will likely cruise to reelection in dark blue Massachusetts this fall.
Students and faculty want Yale to stand up for their campus, not sell them out to Trump. The Trump administration threatened to launch a DOJ investigation into Yale and instead of standing up and fighting back, President Maurie McInnis is actively trying to cut a deal.
Bending the Knee at Yale
Why is it that Maurie McInnis and her fellow elites crumbled so instantaneously?
