Buddy, I’ve got news for you about the biological sex expression of crops. I hope you’re sitting down

Heartland Signal@heartlandsignal.bsky.social · 5h ago

"How are they going to tell you the difference between the biological sex of your crops?" MN GOP Senate candidate Royce White went on a rant at Farmfest, attacking Democrats on gender identity and claiming California is giving power to "communists." #Farmfest

If they built a wall around Alabama, how would Tuberville get there from his house in Florida

Tuberville: "If we don't straighten out this country's voting and immigration system, we're not gonna make it. It's gonna be over. I'm gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state."

He doesn’t actually live in Alabama.

Bit weird that the “moral imperative” is to train your members to use a technology that the companies you’re taking money from say is going to replace them.

“Teaching educators about AI is a ‘moral imperative’, said Randi Weingarten, the AFT president.” “And without outside funding, it was a choice between taking big tech’s money or doing nothing, she said.”

A European capital city, in a country that's an ally of NATO, spent this morning retrieving bodies, saving the wounded, grieving, & despairing at the US in particular for giving Russia the green light to murder when it wishes. Day 1624. Is the fight for good vs evil abandoned?

Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:

we should hear MAHA out about this they might be onto something

The Kalshi CEO says parents like their kids on Kalshi because it's better than Instagram. The parent mentioned in this post would NOT agree. The poster shared that they are in a state where sportsbooks are not legalized, so Kalshi is the only legal option to bet

But he doesn't mind a bin-Salman? Someone needs to ask JD if he doesn't mind having to call MBS his daddy. #IslamophobiaInTheUSA

This plane landed in Myanmar about three hours ago. This is the third ICE flight to Myanmar this year. Burmese deportees in 2025 were immediately sent to a torture facility next to the airport, according to Myanmar Now. Weeks later, not all of them had emerged.

the man can generate exactly three things: bullshit promises, enthusiastic credulity in his fellow dipshit rich people, and reposts of incredibly racist tweets with "hmmm, very true" appended

How *are* those projects going? Well, Musk has already blown past four separate robotaxi deadlines in just the past year. We were supposed to have half of all Americans getting around in fully self-driving Teslas by EOY 2025, but the Tesla robotaxi fleet has actually SHRUNK, down to just 17 vehicles

Congrats @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! If he wins in November, he will be the first Senate member with an advanced public health degree, which we so desperately need right now!

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 13h ago

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

islamophobia is nuts because it can make you look at the most electable candidate by a country mile and then say “nah, not him. i’m voting for that weird bitch with the shark jaw who seems kinda slow”

Dr. Ashok Karra@akarra.bsky.social · 20h ago

what a lot of people are calling electability is straight islamophobia. there is simply no way to stop where the united states is going with this level of islamophobia. it will get worse before it gets better at this rate. we're not able to agree that "camps for kids" is wrong.

I remember people saying the older you get the more conservative you get, but I am finding the opposite. The way things are headed I'm going to end up pushing a walker in black bloc while wearing a full face respirator hooked up to a portable oxygen tank.

Really weird to me how incredibly rich white men get to say stuff like "in three to four years we'll be achieving nuclear fusion from honey" and the stock markets go "wow, sounds great bro!" and the news just reports it with maybe a paragraph at the end of "critics say this is unlikely".

8 people called in sick last week, and 4 people this week. This is just in my little circle of people I need to get jobs done… No one has tested for COVID-19 or anything else. Just endless sick leave which will go down as another mystery I expect.

Good 🧵🧵🧵 What gets me about this is that the same people alleging a conspiracy to hide a lab leak are also trying to convince us we didn't see, hear, and experience what we did in 2020-21, and that COVID was no big deal. 🤷

Walker Bragman@walkerbragman.bsky.social · yesterday

SARS-CoV-2 did not come from a lab. There is no evidence pointing to laboratory origins. There’s been a massive disinformation campaign to convince the public otherwise. It’s scary how effective that campaign has been.

amazing what worms people can become. you’re one of the most powerful lawyers in the country and you let your counterparty lie about your agreement? you couldn’t trust a lawyer that sniveling to negotiate with a contractor, much less run a major firm

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

What a surprise, the alleged abuser was jacking himself up on testosterone.

Gutting the fighting capacity of US forces and destroying the system of military alliances that US leaders painfully built over six generations. This was his intention from the outset, too.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Donald Trump may have accidentally proved modern monetary theory right. The US can create the dollars to fund his war. What it can't create at will are missiles, factories, skilled workers and raw materials. Richard Murphy explains why that matters for far more than war. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Traditional economics is wrong: Donald Trump has proved it

Conventional economics says that governments can only do what they can pay for. Trump’s war proves its not true

If there are any reporters willing to try to correct the record rather than just breathlessly reporting on the disinformation being spread by the propaganda machine - I would be happy to share and I know many others with PTSD from our time on the front lines of COVID who would share as well.

How many news outlets are going to interview ER and ICU doctors after this? Because not allowing them to set the record straight is disinformation.
