Good thing the Washington Post has already completely torched its credibility. It's a right wing rag running cover for this administration.

No one is otherwise taking this seriously.

the fool notion that our society is a corporation and everything it does must generate profit for a group of shareholders needs to be demolished forever; we own it and the services are the profit it generates for us, if we demolish the services somebody's getting the $$ and it ain't us

Hating on “Big Pharma”? Cool, it’s a $1.6 trillion regulated industry. But hang on…the $6.3 trillion wellness industry sells you mushroom tea, dewormers, crash diets, and alkaline water—no regulations, no oversight. But hey, it’s ‘natural,’ right?

This is not war btwn two states, or just about Modi.

India is occupying Kashmir. There is no evidence that Pakistan was behind Pahalgam, but Indian imperial expansionism and Islamophobia drives this jingoism. Most impacted regions are lands of struggle - partioned Panjab & esp Kashmir. Free Kashmir

"the moment to opt out has already passed" is rapist talk

At least three people who are obsessed with criticizing me are being published in this book and I just want to point out that I travel and write regularly making the case for science funding and why cosmology is imporrant and these guys have had fuck all to say about science funding

A drawing of a circle that contains two diverging lines with a chasm between them that gets smaller from one side of the circle to the other. Written inside the circle are the words, "Trying every day to reduce the gap between my values and my actions." A hand is holding the card on which the drawing appears.

Got a lovely comrade card from @ladyofsardines.bsky.social, who uplifts a sentiment @prisonculture.bsky.social often shares—that we should constantly strive to reduce the gap between our values and our actions. This is such an important call to action in these times.

This is gloriously beautiful work. Incredible.

WHO Member Countries Agree to Pandemic Treaty The World Health Organization finally reached a compromise on a pandemic treaty after three years of talks. The United States withdrew from negotiations after President Trump took office.

“The agreement is aimed at averting the fractious, faltering response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which left many poor nations with limited access to vaccines…It would oblige wealthy nations to share key information on pathogens, &technology for interventions such as vaccines, w/the rest of the world”

It’s worth keeping in mind that nowhere in the record has Garcia Abrego ever been accused of a discrete criminal act. The double hearsay allegation made by an informant to a corrupt cop is of gang “membership”, a kind of ontological state of criminality that is assigned by the state to men of color.

“My colleagues & I are relieved and grateful to share that, after eleven days of uncertainty, our students & their mother are returning home,” said the Sackets Harbor Superintendent. “In the midst of this difficult time, the strength, compassion, & resilience of our community have shone through.”

as a Canadian who's demonstrated against the Cruise missile and the invasion of Iraq, and watched with horror as the worst people possible became SCOTUS judges, my question to folks coming on bluesky and marvelling at 'how fast the US has fallen into fascism' is where in fuck's name have you been?

Every thing you do, no matter how small, to remind people that the wannabe dictators are actually sad, scared, fallible little boys is helpful. The more we laugh at them, the less fearsome they are and the easier it is to wrest power back from them.

Also? These messages are effing hilarious.

After New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker's 25-hour speech, a 14-year-old Palestinian American who was raised in New Jersey was killed by Israel in the West Bank on Sunday, and Cory Booker hasn't said a thing about this:
