I was taking a short video of Nia playing fetch, to send to my cousins, when she came up with a new one to add to her impressive repertoire. Back ‘atcha!

The mental gymnastics required to conjure up this kind of framing, content, and headlines is truly Olympian.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

BIG NEWS: @gavinnewsom.bsky.social signed my bill (SB 41) to end abuses by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) — behemoth corporate drug middlemen that increase the cost of Rx drugs & destroy local pharmacies to favor their own mail order pharmacies.

Huge win to lower drug costs & benefit consumers.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Khashoggi's Ghost @urocklive1.bsky.social · 16h

After Trump's tariff post, trillions vanished in hours. The S&P collapsed. Nasdaq crashed. Tech giants bled red. But a different kind of storm was already brewing — not on Wall Street, but deep inside the blockchain.

While everyone else was watching Trump’s post, someone was already cashing in.

Before that announcement even hit the airwaves, an anonymous crypto wallet suddenly transferred over $1 billion into stablecoins — digital dollars that hold value even when everything else collapses. Then, within seconds of Trump’s post, that same wallet started placing $100 million buy orders across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and multiple altcoins just as the market imploded.

They had to get the prosecutors first before an opposition senator or congressperson. It’s all about boiling that frog.

Racism trumps poverty, hardship, and suffering.

This is the lesson the right has learned, understood, and internalized, that the left is just beginning to understand once again, blinded by an inability to accept such a stark truth, and forced to relearn with every resurgence of right wing populism

I always knew the furries were the biggest threat to public safety, now that they’ve inflated their base its getting very scary.

YES.

Your appearance was paradigmatic, and massively inspiring and effective. Keep doing what you are doing.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

They chose instead to go after trans ppl, to cut benefits, to demonise migrants, to appease the Far Right - things that no one who voted Labour voted for.

Labour decided that what they had to do is (fail to) defeat Reform when they actually had to reward the anti-Tory vote with non-Tory policies.
