Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is now here calling for the release of Lander (his fellow mayoral candidate)

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today

dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

I want to watch Lilo and Stitch but also I'm not ready for the amount of crying I will do

🔮 this is my family

i found it all on my own

it’s little, and broken, but still good

yeah, still good

NYU withholds diploma of graduate who condemned Gaza war - BBC News NYU student Logan Rozos used his speech to accuse the US of supporting a "genocide" in Gaza.

man. if i went into deep into debt attending a college that withheld my degree for speaking out on the genocide in gaza, idk what i’d do. fuck nyu dude

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

I try so hard, but sometimes, it all just makes me feel sad. Hug the people you love!

RFK Jr. Says Don’t Take Medical Advice From Him, But He’d ‘Probably’ Vaccinate His Kids For Measles Kennedy has long been skeptical of vaccinations and repeatedly made false claims that vaccines cause autism.

Oh now he tells y’all?? After spreading lies and conspiracy theories, RFK Jr. says don’t listen to his advice—as head of HHS. Sir, we already knew. We were just waiting on you to admit you’re unqualified.

It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.

@mary1kathy.bsky.social @terriresists.bsky.social @fucktheracists.bsky.social @resistrebelrevolt.net I saw that you follow this person and thought you should see their blatant racism.

This person got caught being outright racist and instead of deleting and/or apologized started saying "I hate lazy black AND white people" in all future posts as if they just meant *all* lazy people. Nah, we heard you loud and clear.

What people are you even referring to? Like what indication do you have that the people who are mad at you are lazy people who just "watch TV and eat hot dogs"? Anyone on bluesky to begin with is likely to be more politically active than your average person

Excuse me???? How do I put it to you plainly that not every person can have the time off work, energy, mental capacity to champion every cause/every minority group that is persecuted but seeing a man unable to breathe because of cop cruelty is a pretty DMN GOOD REASON to protest.....

This is absolutely brutal

"Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies"

What's Title VI?

"prohibits discrimination against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin"

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

and I'm seeing a lot more of my liberal friends say "the democrats are losers who are *at best* not up for this fight and all need to be primaried" which is good, but I'm seeing less contrition about it than I'd hope

Definitely one of my least favorite trends in certain leftist spaces is the the one where every bad thing is the worst possible version of Thing and if you push back on that, it can only be because you think Thing is actually fine or you are too privileged to understand that this is The Worst Thing.

Honestly, me too.

two photos side by side. in the left photo, a dog is leaning out the driver window of a red vehicle toward a drive-thru window. in the right photo the dog has entered the establishment through the window, only his hind end sticking out.

This dog got a little impatient waiting for his pup cup. Decided to make sure everything was going alright in there. 14/10

who up letting it linger⁉️

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.
