The situation in Minneapolis: even though the ICE presence in the city is greatly reduced, and national attention has moved on, a huge portion of our population remains essentially in hiding, devastating the schools and economy. In particular, much of the education system remains in crisis

Genuinely I’ve never felt regret over not dedicating my early Bluesky days to building a community on here until now, because every skeet accepting a Newsom nomination as inevitable is getting eleventy bajillion interactions and no one is going “hey what if we didn’t compromise 995 days in advance?”

1. Get into arguments about hypothetical scenarios where we settle for no one’s favorite candidate three years ahead of the election.

2. ????

3. Profit.

Me learning about U.S. history from 1988-1992 and 2000-2008

It does really hit you that American artists of color continue to make these aesthetically incredible, thematically rich works of art and the white supremacists that rule this country are just complete dullards

Jason Myers MVP please it would be so funny

C’mon Jason Myers MVP that would be so funny

i worry that a 5-year stretch of nothing but ads for NFTs, bitcoin, and AI is a long enough gap that this nation's once-great advertising industry will forget how to sell a product people actually want

That was genuinely one of the best Super Bowl performances to date. At least top 5 all time.

Hey remember that Super Bowl where there were a bunch of ads for crypto and then the whole industry went tits up later that year?

Anyway I’m sure all these AI ads are there because they’re doing so well.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

I was in that bus. Clay is a badass. ICE needs to fuck all the way off.

It’s so funny seeing Musicology Duck become the star of Bluesky

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Ignoring the people who are more polite about the bad things they do is part of the problem.

Trump trying to distract us from Epstein with crimes he could, and should be, impeached for, shows that he knows the files are really, really bad for him.. like prison bad.

The narrative of the ICE shooting outside of the US is very much not "woman killed, but she was being dangerous and not following orders :( "

it's simply "unarmed mother executed by masked government agent." Because much of the rest of the world doesn't think disobeying a cop forfeits your life

Your brain is made of pudding.

Not *just* now. They’ve been doing that for months

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

Being able to be identified is the major nightmare here.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

wow, sorry. Deleting now. I didn’t know she was French

Hey New York Post how stupid do you think we are?
