i genuinely cannot stand actual european elites condescendingly explaining american public opinion to americans. reminds me of when some british lady IRL tried to tell me she understood southerners better than i ever could, a southerner who lives in the south.
The educated liberal big city US folks outraged at Trump's renovation of Lincoln bathroom really need to scroll some Facebook of their less established relatives and friends to see what kind of aesthetic resonates with Trump's target audience.

Schiff voted to confirm Brooke Rollins, Trump’s head of the USDA.

And now Rollins refuses to release emergency funds for SNAP.

But Schiff acts like he’s just another guy posting on the internet and not a sitting senator who voted for this.
The law is clear.

As USDA’s own staff earlier agreed.

And now the law is upheld.

Donald Trump cannot withhold SNAP food assistance to inflict even more pain during his shutdown.

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.
🚨 EXPLOSIVE NEW investigation: We uncovered previously undisclosed details about an 18-month money laundering investigation into Jeffrey Epstein that took place alongside the 2007 sex crimes probe, according to emails obtained from Epstein's personal Yahoo account

the assumptions made about the target audience by making the first two items "OnlyFans' and 'child support' are kind of incredible

Or she can just share whatever she thinks is interesting because it's her own social media account, and the people who choose to interact with the post are the ones who can consider whether to pay or not to pay without unnecessarily commenting which?

Oh my god it's so funny that tech bros thing the "torment nexus" is when people are mean to them online
"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

“A.i.” is a weapon of fascism.

Racists are using “A.i.” products created by fascist billionaires to produce racist, fake videos that fascist, billionaire-owned propaganda outlets are spreading.

None of this is accidental.
So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

paul, this system does not hide strangers who are making sexually inappropriate comments towards me but does hide people telling them to not make sexually inappropriate comments. is that a positive direction in your opinion?

as a big trans account i've had my share of shitty replies and i STILL do not think this is a good idea especially if i don't get to control my own threads.

your AI sentiment analysis 1. is really inaccurate 2. can never be accurate enough and 3. is not what i want in my threads

I guess it's nice every once in a while to learn that the Bluesky team, sure they hate Black people and trans people and etc etc but they ALSO just hate EVERYBODY
i absolutely do not want bluesky to automoderate my threads. this is *absurd.*

This is a recipe for disaster. The same kind of disaster that people fled to come to this place.
Oh so this is half of replies to my posts are hidden under "show more replies" label. Replies that did nothing wrong.
Threads on Bluesky should feel more like conversations you’d have IRL.

We’re testing new systems to improve reply quality. See what’s coming: bsky.social/about/blog/1...

Bloomberg is giving MILLIONS to a MONSTROUSLY racist campaign.

So that’s who Bloomberg is.
Bloomberg has dropped $5 million against Zohran in these last days of the race, making him the single largest donor. Personally I wish he'd just settle for having successfully bought a 3rd term and do something else with his money www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

I told my wife that kids online were daring each other “kind of like a Bloody Mary thing” to listen to this cursed song that a dead child molester recorded in the eighties and I asked her if she wanted to hear it and she wasn’t sure but she said yes

And she was so mad at me when it was “Thriller”

The network that was literally sustained on the backs of women & people of color is now firing exactly those people.

CBS/Paramount might not have survived w/o Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz's Desilu Productions, & the weight they then lent to making a bunch of other shows happen.

I mean what the hell.

JD: But...but the big guy got away with saying you can grab 'em by the pussy! Just days before the election!

JD's PR team as they sigh and pull out the big chart again: See, the problem is that you have negative charisma. Negative. You drain it out of everyone around you. A charisma vampire.
wait I’m sorry the Other Woman is Dead Guy’s widow??? didn’t think you could really make cheating worse but wow okay

NEW: Five days after Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral campaign accepted a maximum $2,100 donation from Rabbi Marc Schneier in March, the campaign accepted a far more unusual gift: $250 from the rabbi’s five-year-old son.

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads.

Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.
In a major victory, a court ruled the Trump administration must use emergency funds to provide food stamps to Americans.
 
No one should choose between paying bills and buying groceries.
 
We'll continue our lawsuit to fight for our families and the services they deserve.
Potentially useful thread on dealing with one specific claim frequently repeated by right-wing extremists.

#PreparingForThanksgiving Part 1.

Your crazy Uncle Harry claims that the Nazis were socialists. What do you do?

First, determine if he's basing that claim solely on the word 'socialist' in the phrase 'national socialist' (or from the longer name of the NSDAP). Then, determine how drunk he is.
