Jay Willis@jaywillis.net · 11h agoFor me, the biggest takeaway from Sophie Cunningham’s hard launch into the right-wing culture wars is how *lucrative* bigotry is now. There’s an entire conservative media ecosystem that will turn anyone willing to make transphobia their personal brand into a well-compensated star.
Pastor Carl Ruby, of Springfield's Central Christian Church, can state the issue more clearly than 98% of people working in politics today.
Jim Swift@jimswift.bsky.social · 10h agoThe cruelty is the point. Shame on this administration and shame on the people who voted for this. www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/spring...
It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.
Natasha Cloud leading the way unequivocally

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 4d agoThe situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.
pulled the video so you don't have to go to X we stan a towering queen who does not care for the antics of mediocre men

Chauvin was, in fact, the cause of Floyd’s death. He used a technique that MPD and most other agencies have banned, specifically because it causes death. And the crime for which he was convicted is unintentional second-degree murder, which by definition does not require intent to kill.

A possible romantic relationship between a president and one of his aides isn’t something the public needs to know about. by Ken Starr and Newt Gingrich
Fox News's lead sports analysts are a man who played three NBA games, scoring zero points, and a former college swimmer who once tied for 5th place. Here's a look at how liberals reward mediocrity with participation trophies.
A bunch of cops cheering at a political rally — in uniform — as the president and AG endorse a candidate and attack their political opponents is not normal. And it is not okay.

The TERFs are mad that people are following the law that they supported.
Julie Rei Goldstein@julierei.bsky.social · 3w ago“We can always tell.”
look, im not saying the republican party definitely cheated to beat mike lindell, all im saying is there appear to be irregularities and a lot of people have concerns
Come for the impossible Robin Hood-level shot. Stay for the guy blasting himself in the junk with a confetti cannon.

This is genuinely, like, the *oldest* lesson we have about insurance (and its conceptual twin, gambling). After property insurance emerged in the 17th century, people almost immediately started insuring other peoples' property and then burning it down. Hence, the requirement of "insurable interest"
Oregon senators warn prediction markets allowing betting on wildfires could incentivize arson
A public report urges the CFTC to ban prediction market contracts on destructive wildfires, raising concerns over public safety and potential arson.

@schiff.senate.gov please ask about the 1876 election next time.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoholy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
I think it's bad that we're led by conspiracy theorists who are attacking an 85-year-old public health expert who tried to save our lives because they think they might go viral

In fairness, the people who wrote the 14th Amendment in 1866 could not have possibly foreseen the invention of ships.
David Waldman@kagrox.bsky.social · 2mo agoSee, the plan is, you put 1,000 foreign women who all got pregnant at the same time on a hospital ship, and you do that 1,000 times, and then you wait 18 years, and then you move all the babies to Wyoming, and you win a House seat.
It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

This is what they said about Jews. This is what they said about Italians. This is what they said about the Irish. He is definitely done being careful; the House Majority Whip has decided to go back to 1920s nativism, full stop.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."
The three players in this photo: 1. Nigerian heritage, grew up in England, and is only a citizen thanks to birthright citizenship. 2. Born + raised in Holland, has a dad who immigrated to the US from Suriname. 3. Said he wanted to “make people who look like me proud” while playing on Juneteenth
