Our latest from @kylebazgo.bsky.social: a look at 8 of the most insane fascist and antisemitic accounts JD Vance follows on X. No idea why mainstream outlets don’t think it’s notable he follows people who joke about Holocaust denial and an account that says Hitler was “the lesser evil.”
This is the culmination of SIXTEEN YEARS of dogged work by everyday Hungarians.
You think that felt hopeless sometimes? I'm sure it did.

Pelosi brings it to 70 House Democrats calling for Trump's impeachment or removal via the 25th Amendment.
Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country.
Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.
This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
Israeli cops break a CNN producer’s wrist while beating up journalists who were filming them beat up people praying, per the Foreign Press Association.

Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich.
And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Priorities.
That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...
Hitting oil facilities has a steep cost for human health and the environment. If you claim to be rooting for ordinary Iranian people who oppose the regime, well, this hurts everybody. The latest from Damien Gayle of @theguardian.com via @climatedesk.org
"...war in Iran is very unpopular. Not merely negative-number ... but worst-ever-support-for-war-when-it-started unpopular. With just 38% of Americans in favor, support for bombing Iran is lower than retrospective support for the war in Iraq was in 2014." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-us-i...
Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov: “Netanyahu said the other day that he's been waiting 40 years to get to this point. It took him 40 years to find an American president who is stupid enough to drag America into this war.”

A man with psychopathic symptoms, wielding more destructive power than any human ever has, is wreaking unjustified death and ruination across an expanding chunk of the globe - all in our name, as we watch helplessly in horror and despair.
The Parti Québécois still in majority territory but just barely as the Libérals, with a new leader, surge. Election due by October 5.
Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.
We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.

💥 No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump.
He's attacked 7 nations, three of which had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years.
Congrats to Kennedy and Trump—living the dream
I can attest that the church bells energized the entire crowd. It was a simple but unmistakeable act of solidarity.
Africa will have more young people entering the workforce than the rest of the world combined. With two catalytic forces shaping the future of jobs--AI and climate change--my company worked with Axum to size demand for junior white-collar jobs with green skills: www.localized.world/demand-for-c...
Canada has seen a surge of American doctors seeking to move north in the months since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.
This decision is a "mega-land grab" amounts to "full-fledged annexation". @peacenowisrael.bsky.social on Israel's decision to resume, for the first time since 1967, land registration in the West Bank, a bureaucratic camouflage for massive theft of Palestinian land.

Under Texas’ abortion ban, the rate of sepsis shot up by more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost a second-trimester pregnancy.
Our new analysis shows the risk varies widely between the state’s two largest metro areas.

"The poll found that on a weekly basis more than 90% of people use weather forecasts, job market reports, food safety warnings and other information that is based on federal science. But only 10% are concerned that cuts to federal support for science might impact their access to such information."

There's a new conservative study purporting to prove that abortion medication is dangerous. Let's talk about why it's horseshit.
To start, it's published by a conservative think tank, not peer-reviewed, and contradicts decades of credible research showing mifepristone is safe
