The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
This is what you should do during normal times, not when you’re resisting fascism. What are you gonna do, write another letter about how they’re not doing their jobs?

The name Mo’ne Davis brings back memories. Her perfect little league game at the World Series. The NCAA controversy. And now the first to run across home plate in WPBL history. #aleagueoftheirown

Rand Paul calling the 5th amendment a "privilege" and threatening to punish those who invoke it is QUITE the look for a so-called "libertarian" #FuckTheseFascists
It’s quite a thing watching the idiots who made the pandemic worse blame the main guy who made it better, all while a diarrhea parasite has spread to 45 states because of those same idiots dismantling food safety systems that monitor parasites.
Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.
the thing about government grocery stores is that food deserts are a real thing and people need food
“The DSA will destroy the Democratic Party!” Meanwhile…
It seems like we need a CB to partner Virgil, but we’ve invested in a lot of young CB options. What’s the right balance there? Personally, one new senior CB would set my mind at ease. That way, the 18, 19, 20-year-old options are just that, options.
STOP SHOWING ME SPORTS BETTING ADS, I DONT WANT IT!!!
There should be an “it’s been over half his life and the other guy forgives him” clause. It’s like when someone else confesses decades later and it still takes years for release. Years.

I’ve never seen a post get ratio’d harder than this with zero likes and zero reposts but many comments and quote-posts. Imagine talking about war criminals who didn’t see consequences and starting with Saddam Hussein.
miguel_alemania@miguel-alemania.bsky.social · 2w agoSaddam killed 459.000 muslims but isn‘t a war criminal. The mudering mullahs killed about 159.000 men and women but aren‘t war criminals. Putin killed about 250.000 men but isn‘t a war criminal. Netanjahu is a jew, so he is a war criminal. That’s the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth.
Trump began chipping away at our food safety net in 2025 when his administration laid off thousands of FDA workers, including food safety inspectors, scientists at a product safety lab & comms staff at the FDA & the CDC, hamstringing efforts to track outbreaks & inform the public about tainted food
Food Safety Was Slipping in the U.S. Then Came Mass Layoffs
Food inspections are falling behind, and food safety law isn't being enforced, experts say.

What they want you to believe: Wildfires = Canada mismanagement. What the data says: 335 million hectares burned globally in 2025. 3,955 fires in Canada in 2026 alone, 1,092,095 hectares in non-EU Europe, Spain, France, USA, South Africa, Australia. This is climate, not a country.
Weird Al and Dolly Parton are different aspects of the same ethos. Both are prolific, great, genre-defining musicians iconic for intentionally playful, exaggerated personas but universally loved for their authenticity (& kindness). All while working for decades AND maintaining a sense of privacy.
This young man was valedictorian of his high school. He came to the U.S. when he was three. ICE held him for a month. Then they shipped him to El Salvador. www.dallasnews.com/news/immigra...

Luis Andrade Garcia came to the United States from El Salvador around age 3. ICE deported him this week following an arrest in Arlington.

I, too, support trans rights. Far more important than any sport in my opinion.
Competitive integrity isn’t the only thing that matters. Opportunity matters. Community matters. Representation matters. For the love of the game FFS I am very much a supporter of trans athletes, and I think governments involving themselves in this debate is a huge waste of public resources.
Plain Simple Natalie 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🦀@nattygo.me · 2w agoMore than this, excluding trans women and girls is a perversion of the historical purpose of women's sports The purpose of women's sports was not to give women a chance to win It was to give women a chance to play sports AT ALL
A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
That’s the way! Also, Baltimore Ferals is a baller name.
Kyle Goon@kylegoon.bsky.social · 2w agoIn February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...
Argentina mostly didn’t play football and were extremely lucky to have made it to the final
85 minutes in the clock. We’ve entered the period of the match when Argentina start playing… let’s see if that opens any space for the clearly superior Spanish team.
Appreciate Spain and Argentina paying tribute to the New York Jets by doing absolutely nothing on a Sunday afternoon in the meadowlands.
