This is going to lead to so much more domestic violence.

i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's

Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · 15h ago

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades

Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

While the phone call itself has already been reported before, I believe local Michigan journalist Sam Robinson is the first to say that Kamala Harris *apologized* to Abbas Alawieh for not allowing the Uncommitted National Movement to have a speaker at the 2024 Democratic Convention.

I very much want to read this one. Pope Leo summoned Gareth Gore to the Vatican awhile back for a closed-door meeting about which Gore - who has desperately tried to get multiple popes to give a fuck about his reporting - said little except that he left feeling good about where they left things 👀

Next book is Opus by Gareth Gore. When the Pope calls a book a “rigorous piece of work” and you’re a lapsed Catholic that’s married to a Catholic who’s very frustrated with the church and loves your recaps of @clairewillett.bsky.social threads, well, you put your name on the waitlist

Child: This is my first time meeting a mayor. Mamdani: Wow, have you ever met a prime minister? Child: No Norway PM Jonas Gahr Støre: *walks over*

This story is a great example of when @prisonculture.bsky.social speaks on picking something to focus on, organize around it, and keep at it! You don’t have to do it all, but what you do, could make all the difference.

The official search & rescue service of the United Kingdom is having to go around with critical navigation safety aids turned off to avoid being attacked by criminals bsky.app/profile/yeom...

Emma Yeomans@yeomans.bsky.social · 22h ago

6. As far as we can see, the rescuer was okay - though this is bordering on attempted murder. RNLI then headed towards the Solent, AIS off and chased by the far-right. Authorities in Portsmouth likely were warned that people would be offloaded and processed at Gosport, so Thomas rallied activists.

This'll take quite a thread to explain. 1. Yesterday, possibly late morning, a dinghy departed from north of Caen. It seemed lost, and went east along the Baie de la Seine for a long time without pushing outwards towards the UK. It was followed by 4+ French rescue vessels.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

devastating thread

“Garces Perez said he was making a DoorDash delivery Sunday when an unmarked black vehicle began pursuing him on Anderson Lane in North Austin. He said the vehicle did not activate its emergency lights or otherwise identify itself before striking his car.”

Republicans have been using “fraud” as a universal answer to government cuts and the sensationalism around childcare in Minneapolis demonstrates how the long life of the “Welfare Queen” stereotype continues to drive a lot of political dynamics.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · yesterday

BREAKING WaPo: JD Vance and admin officials are set to announce that they're removing hundreds of thousands of people from Affordable Care Act coverage — claiming that they were fraudulently enrolled in the program, according to three people with knowledge of the forthcoming announcement.

The fact that people will use AI for this at all is a bafflement, but the fact that everyone who does will also take whatever the thing puts out and display it without looking at it even one time.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

The outright refusal to treat white supremacy as an ideology which motivates action and treat it as generally objectionable is what allows this strategy to be viable for Elon Musk.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2d ago

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

"John Fetterman is a big fan of Israel because he likes watching Palestinians get murdered, not because he gives a shit about Jews" is a theory like gravity is a theory

Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America. They're joy vampires for the kids themselves!

i think we've getting closer and closer to the tipping point where oil extraction becomes a strictly ideological project — persisting mainly because it's a necessary plank in the maintenance of brutal hierarchies — more so than a profit-making venture per se
