Last night I had a nightmare where I got attacked by one raccoon after it did a weird circle-jazz hands kind of ritual with a bunch of other raccoons and I had to get rabies shots after it bit my lip and now I don’t want to go to sleep

Gonna get that on a t-shirt

A MAGA, QAnon police chief in Tennessee has been working with conspiracy mongers outside law enforcement to conduct off the books “sex trafficking” investigations out of his garage. In one recording, he suggests taking one suspect to an out-of-jurisdiction jail where he’d likely be killed.

As you know, the death of Twitter has devastated small creators. Would you please reskeet to help me get the word out about my newsletter, The Bugbear Dispatch? Thanks!

When I got the news about the assassination attempt, "I knew there was no American 'unity' coming that would in any way include me as a transgender woman." The first night of the RNC certainly proved that last night, but pundits are still busy scolding Dems www.bugbeardispatch.com/p/america-th...

The only hammer they use is DARVO because empathetic and sensitive people bow to it. Learning about DARVO because of fascism has been helpful to identify it in abusers, what @brooklynmarie.bsky.social calls "little fascists," I believe. www.verywellmind.com/protecting-y...

Biden's reinvigorated the NLRB and Musk is suing to disband it, so naturally... www.reuters.com/world/us/blo...

"Elon Musk has said he plans to commit around $45 million a month to a new super political-action committee backing former President Donald Trump’s presidential run, according to people familiar with the matter." www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

Exclusive: In blow to Biden, Teamsters consider no endorsement in 2024 racewww.reuters.com President Joe Biden is on the brink of failing to win a key labor endorsement as leaders of the 1.3 million-member Teamsters union consider backing no candidate at all in the U.S. presidential race, according to two people familiar with the matter.

This horrible but I think it’s probably also true.

If this had happened to Biden, Trump would be cracking jokes about it within 48 hours, and if the shooter had survived, he'd quickly ratchet his way up to "jokes" about pardoning the guy within a week.

I was a union member for most of my working life from age 16 (in Canada) and now I live in a US state where it is illegal for my profession to organize 🤷‍♀️

This is probably “when all you have is a hammer” but if the world feels especially heavy beyond your control right now I really recommend joining a union, there are few things better for reminding you of the strength and safety in numbers

Stupid question but here goes: when someone likes something that I reskeet, do I not see that? Or Has nobody ever engaged with anything I’ve ever reskeeted?

Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.

I wonder if - hear me out- one of the main problems with Bsky is just there are too many men?

Tigers! Way to surprise us all here in July

I for one find this quite upsetting

So correct me if I’m wrong but: Only Biden can win against Trump so we must throw all our efforts to Joe. Or: Biden is the weakest candidate imaginable and must be replaced ASAP to save democracy. And: Nobody knows which is true. But: Nobody wants to admit it.

Oh ffs

It's 2016 and Trump has a new tone. It's 2017 and Trump has a new tone. It's 2018 and Trump has a new tone. It's 2020 and Trump has a new tone. It's 2024 and Trump has a new tone.

Big decision; imma block every dude who uses the term “ratfu#k”

Why do I get the feeling that these are the same guys who claimed that people like me were trying to ratfuck *progressives* by supporting Biden four years ago?

When the Tigers are losing by a million to Cleveland and the day has become a burden, the only solace is that Bannon is still in prison. And Peter Navarro too!

Seems to be one of the few who hasn’t anointed themselves as He Who Knows Things That Are Unknowable. I’m soooo tired of media and social media voices acting as if they are doing anything other than wild speculation. Let me ask my dog Mickey what he thinks POTUS will do. About as trustworthy!

Yeah, the broad assumption that he's a lock to stay in now is as sound as last week's broad assumption that he was a lock to leave. Folks keep asking me what I think will happen and, honestly, I have no informed idea. Sorry, I'm not in the wild speculation business. We'll see what happens.

Great game boys!!

Man this Tigers Guardians game, so wild and unexpected. #GoTigers !!!

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

I lost my stupid Airbnb appeal dammit. They’re making me pay 😖
