Dozens of veterans and military family members protesting the Iran war were arrested by U.S. Capitol Police on Monday after they occupied the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C. At least 62 people were arrested, many disabled veterans.
This WAS a peaceful protest.
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
can't wait to see the pristine copy when you find it!
In light of Trump’s increasingly cruel and bonkers behavior, many of you want to know: “What can I do now?” Here are 10 recommendations. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-you-can-do-f4a
A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!
Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....
'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3
Several people with signs like this at the Boston Marathon today
@waterhub.bsky.social @mediajustice.bsky.social @ceresorg.bsky.social @ucs.org the federal wall between Mexico and the US is using enormous amounts of water for the concrete footings. Who can we work with keep our home and our water from being devastated by the militarization of the borderlands?
@mediajustice.bsky.social Thank you for this weekend at Take Back Tech! The workshops were too good. Will there be any offered virtually so we can go to the ones we missed?
I missed this session! Will you have anything virtual in the next month or so?
amazing joyous energy there, felt so good to be in community with y'all
So what lovely light diverting fiction are you reading tonight to escape our dystopian present?
Finally got a quiet moment after my flight to sit down, super excited to reread my autographed copy of #TheShockDoctrine by @naomiaklein.bsky.social
and
quickly remembered why I don't read nonfiction before bed anymore
How interesting that 'the pope' of American apocalyptic white Christian nationalism never goes to church on Sunday morning but instead picks that time to tweet out genocidal threats to kill millions of people
“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least 3x… a pattern.”
The most corrupt regime ever.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.
If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for
Pro tip: if you receive a compliment on your dress, you must reply, "thanks! It has pockets"
We don't buy dresses without pockets, so there are no compliments on pocketless dresses
Photo of CNN chyron reading Vance: Pope should be careful when talking about theology
Vance thinks the Pope should be careful when talking about theology?
I'm not sure which part of the sentence is more astonishing.
Remember when we laughed at Quayle for not knowing how to spell potatoes?
I miss those days
We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.
Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.
You’ve heard of Stockholm Syndrome.
Welcome to Budapest Envy.
Could we do a Truman Show situation where we build a fake Oval Office where he watches AI created fake news about himself and let him believe he's still president and tweet the hours away and meanwhile we can impeach him and move on...I'm not sure he'd know the difference
If evangelicals think Pope Leo is too”woke” just wait until
they hear about this fellow called Jesus.
The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
I asked about pizza in another group chat and it lit up. Apparently there are some big opinions from family members about their pies, and we moms have to deal with it and figure out the budget.
Now I'm scared to ask my own kid about my earlier pizza choices
I outed my blue sky username in a group chat and now I'm feeling the pressure to post more here instead of just lurking
Govt doesn't want #Americans having #criticalthinking or think for themselves
Educated Americans who think for themselves, speaking out w/ truth, facts & sharing accurate info is a threat to the fascist agenda
#Parents & #education should teach kids/teens HOW to think critically, NOT what to think
Black text on white background: If corporations allow you to sign up with one click, you should be able to cancel with one click too. Subscription traps, whether from an app or gym membership, are just another way corporations take advantage of working people. We've already put hundreds of companies on notice. This week, we proposed a rule that would make NYC a national leader in cracking down on abusive practices that nickel-and-dime New Yorkers.
