The cruelty is the point. This is America. Fuck ICE.
Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 12h agoThis morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.
Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.
His role as The Darkness in the movie Legend is what sparked my interest in and love of SFX makeup. He was a joy to watch, even if (especially if) it scared the bejeezus out of you. 💔

She also said that the things she stood for (supporting the LGBTQIA2S+ community, marriage rights, addressing poverty, literacy) weren't about politics - they were about human beings. Be like Dolly. 💜
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · yesterdayOne thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.
All of this. The heart, the character, means more than what it's covered in.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · yesterdayI appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.
And on 9/25, we will celebrate Dolly Day.

Ninja onions all through my apartment today. Devastated 💔
Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 2d agoA message from the family of Dolly Parton
I'm sure he'll get a cushy room at a comfy prison, complete with yoga time and a puppy. That's what the US does with these types, right?
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 2d agoA polygamous sect leader already serving a 50-year federal prison sentence for orchestrating sex involving children is scheduled to be sentenced on separate state convictions.
There's been a lot of crappy days so far this year, but today is the absolute worst. Rest peacefully, Miss Dolly. 💔😭
Cats of Yore@catsofyore.bsky.social · 2d agoDolly Parton was a supporter of Willa B. Farms, an animal rescue in Old Hickory, TN. I hope you will consider a donation in her memory. 💔 www.willabfarms.com/donate
I'm down with reverting back to the original names.
Canadian History Ehx@cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social · 2d agoBefore Europeans arrived, these were some of the names for The Great Lakes: Superior: gichi-gami (great sea) Erie: erielhonan (long tail) Michigan: michigami (long body of water) Ontario: Ontarí'io\kanadario (great lake\beautiful water) Huron: karegnondi (fresh water sea)
Is this like that time a bunch of US officials spent the 4th of July in Moscow? 🤔
Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 2d agoRussian media report a U.S. Air Force C-17A, callsign RCH4555, landed at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport after departing Riga this morning with no public destination listed. The aircraft had flown Charleston → Joint Base Andrews → Riga on Aug. 23. Who, if anyone, was aboard remains unclear.
This is right up there in the pile of ridiculous shit coming from the US. Right next to the "freedom fries" and the "Gulf of America". 🙄

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 2d agoWell, let’s be fair. You voted for this three times.
Hilarious. A real knee-slapper. Now come up here and say that to a crowd that isn't already kissing your ass.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoJD Vance: "Canada is a state -- sorry. Freudian slip."
"After the fever breaks" And even after that, they'll pull an RFK, Jr and take a dip in the sewage again. I'd put money on that, and I'm not a gambler.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d ago"They have one. I was being generous. I rounded up. They have a habit of doing that there" -- Mark Carney is straight up trolling the US over our lack of icebreakers
I'm not a Doug Ford fan, but this is gold. Loving him ripping Velveeta Voldemort apart. 😂

From now until time immemorial, the US will be known as the "United Snakes".
Brittlestar@brittlestar.com · 4d agoA Message From The Government of Canada Regarding the US Trade War
Canadians are the reason why there was a need for the Geneva Convention to be written. We're nice. We're polite. And we'll fcuk you up in ways you could never imagine if you mistake our kindness for weakness. 😊
Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social · 4d agoPeople think Canadians are nice. Elbows up is a defensive mode in hockey. When it gets serious you drop the gloves. When it's all or nothing coach tells you to clear the bench. Now it's time to pull the jersey over that god damn criminal’s head and teach him how to play Canadian-style rules.
What in the high holy hell is wrong with the US when a third of the population cheers this sort of thing on, or finds it acceptable? American exceptionalism, I guess? 🤷
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 4d ago“A 1-year-old baby appeared in immigration court without legal representation in Arizona and received an instruction: File an asylum application before the next hearing or face deportation.”
Now THAT is a "tuck & roll" I can get into! This is *skill* and loads of practice, no doubt!
Michelle says: Be kind. Always. ❤️@snarkysillysad.bsky.social · 4d agoHow full I like my burritos to be: #AGoodPlace Source: Vinny's Cafe
Be like Bob. Bob jumped over the boards and dropped the gloves. The time for defensive postures like "elbows up" is over. Ya started shit. We're gonna finish it. #BuyCanadian
