JD Vance just deleted from his website his abortion stance. They lie to get the job.

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

I'll take a pass, too.

Just want to put it out there that I am not, in fact, MAGA.

a far right conspiracy theorist broke into nancy pelosi’s house and beat her husband with a hammer and he and most of the party made jokes about it

If a Democrat had been the target of an assassination attempt, can anyone plausibly imagine a Trump statement that did not denigrate and equivocate?

On Saturday a wholesome afternoon of fantasizing about concentration camps and plotting to overturn the coming election was disrupted by violence

i’m being told it’s my duty to condemn political violence, so in light of yesterday’s events i once again condemn the israeli genocide against the palestinian people, and the united states’ active participation in enabling it.

Telling liberal writers to quit their jobs at the nation's largest media platforms would only make the national media more conservative, and I have deep suspicions about the motives of anyone who urges them to do so.

look, I hate the NYT with all my soul, but what good does it do literally anyone to harass Jamelle Bouie into quitting his job (or more likely into quitting bsky)? You're only doing it because he's Black. Go harass Michael Powell or the Bretbug instead, those fuckers deserve to be unemployed.

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Is there a worse remote than the Samsung TV remote? Ever?

Should we start some Change.org petitions for the crimes we'd like President Biden to officially commit? I know of some racist, transphobic, sexist laws I'd like broken.

The world’s platform for changechange.org Change.org is the world’s largest petition platform, using technology to empower more than 200 million users to create the change they want to see.

Just went to go bid on something and mostly triggered others' proxy bids. But that's still doing my part! I TRIED. 🤣

Here's the part I never understand. You say Biden's not progressive enough for you or you're furious/distraught about Gaza, and so you don't want to support him. I get that. But do you get what you need/want by not voting for Biden?

And it is NOT an inconvenience for your family/friends to help load/unload/store the aid if you're out and about. We love spending time with you & if the aid means more time, that's what we want.

Hey you, yeah you. Use the mobility aid. You don't have to suffer to prove your worthy. Just do it. You are worthy right now.

SO MUCH THIS. Subject area super powers, rest of life not so muc

The idea of “PhD level intelligence” is very funny to me, personally, because I have worked with scientists for 20 years. I know someone who has helped find treatments for diseases we didn’t even think were possible and also struggled to understand how the hot tap of a water cooler worked.

“If they can convict a president for breaking the law, they can convict anybody!” Right, that’s the whole point. Our laws actually apply to everyone. Congrats on just now figuring out how that works.
