can we sometimes be asking "what qualifies this guy to speak on this subject?" or has that ship sailed

Make no mistake here. This is Trump objectively taking the side of Iran, a nation we are currently at war with, over the Americans in Minnesota because he hates the governor and the fact that a majority of voters there did not vote for him

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

I have a master's degree in business reporting but I struggled with my personal finances while living in the US (even without a car, credit card debt, or student loans) because of the cost of rent in NYC, and thousands in medical bills despite an employer covering healthcare premiums.

I think most people are way worse at persona finances than many Bluesky posters admit. The more we can make financial security not dependent on high financial savvy the better off society will be - car-free cities, pensions, universal healthcare, making renting more affordable and secure...

Over the last three years there have been more than 70 fires at an Illinois prison, including 12 cases of self-immolation. One man needed a skin graft. Another lost a leg. Two have died. A new investigation below. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/07/24/p...

Sorry to be Uncle Marxism but employer-based healthcare is a tool of social control for the ruling class

NPR@npr.org · 2w ago

About 24% of U.S. employees stay in unwanted jobs just for health insurance, a report out Wednesday finds. Up significantly since 2021, the uptick in "job lock" is a concerning sign for the U.S. economy. n.pr/4gQIY5E

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

On Tuesday, an ICE officer shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. Today, the government is pressuring the only three eyewitnesses to sign self-deportation orders. I spent 15 years as a public defender. If anyone else did this, we'd call it witness tampering. youtube.com/shorts/-1mtg...

“But the bigger problem is how much of the media of ‘the left’ is dominated by men who appear to have no understanding of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence, but do have a pretty hefty sexist streak that they either aren’t aware of or don’t care to remedy.” YES @juliedicaro.bsky.social

We have an even bigger problem than Graham Platner

I don't know what to call the specific political tendency represented by Ryan Grim, Ken Klippenstein, Matt Stoller, Michael Tracey, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, and Zaid Jilani, mostly because words sort of fail, but it isn't "the Left."

Whew. I was starting to worry Platner was gonna have to do something really horrific to lose Bernie's support, like be a woman or something.

Bernie Sanders Advises Platner to ‘Step Aside’ After Rape Allegation talkingpointsmemo.com/news/elected...

Like I said, there's no small amount of finger-pointing that's going to happen as a result of this. But Platner was a creation of Ryan Grim, Bernie Sanders, and Matt Stoller, as much as he was of Pod Save America and Matt Yglesias. That's what has to be reckoned with.

I'm not sure if we have ever had a time in our history, where a guy with a Nazi tattoo wasn't also a rapist. That's usually half of why they got the tattoo in the first place.

This is horrific and devastating, and I hope those white men never know a moment's peace until they tell what actually happened.

“His father, our family, friends and I are absolutely devastated,” Nolan Wells' mother, Christine Wonsley, wrote. “My heart is broken for my sweet son who was always willing to cheer and uplift others. Nolan was a special soul, God took his time creating our son.”

It's fun how people are acting like rape is an obvious dealbreaker, when the president is who he is, Kavanaugh was confirmed, and we knew quite a while ago that Platner had some shitty opinions about sexual assault. themainemonitor.org/platner-redd...

If you live in a major American city, scenes like this are probably happening near you. Intensive "boot camps," teaching men how to talk to and pick up women, are taking place across the country as people grapple to recover a lost art: face-to-face conversation. https://cnn.it/3QETCli

The research finds that best predictors for Alberta separatism are: - consumption of right-wing news - yearning for a better past - support for anti-establishment views - belief in conspiratorial thinking on issues like vaccines and global organizations

Why Men And Women Are So Divided On Alberta Separatism

35% of Albertans want to start the process to hold a binding referendum on separation, according to recent polling.
