I can't repost them. They are too vile. I can send some screenshots to you. There are a lot more of those folks on the other apps.
Not non-speakers' moms sharing their kids' testimonies supporting eugenicist policy. These statements are the most damning evidence against facilitated communication I have seen yet.
Seriously though, people keep talking about the third Reich resonance, but there is another authoritatian regime that bears un uncanny resemblance to this one, with its culture war emphasis. That an imaginary past is the ideal rather than an imaginary future does not change this commonality.
When the cultural revolution comes to America it wears...
Unfortunately, the clown car is packed with scary clowns.

Discovering that an East Coast bus company is run by a Chinese American is like discovering that a pizza joint is owned by an Italian. (If Laura spots a protester eating pizza, maybe she'll add the mafia to her story.)

Is thinking you live in the most embarrassing country in the history of the world a form of American exceptionalism? Or is it just true?

Elon Musk’s involvement in Wisconsin has turned what could have been a sleepy off-year election into a race with incredible national significance.

“The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is the first referendum on Musk-ism."

Read @ariberman.bsky.social's dispatch.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court election is a referendum on Elon Musk
“We'll find out whether Musk's millions are more powerful than the fury that Musk provokes among voters.”

Dems, you can either become the opposition party or you will be the Vichy party. I don't make the rules.

Look I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this but if you’re a liberal and the president is like “We are going to detain and deport this guy for protesting” the correct response is not “Protesting what?”
For those of us who grew up in the cold war '80s, the shift from "we would rather nuke the world than let Russia win" to "they are the only ones we can trust" is surreal.
kinda wild how the generation of conservative men who came up on Red Dawn are just gonna hand the US to Russia

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

James Webb Satellite took a fantastic shot of the Planet Saturn with it's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). This is just an Amazing shot that shows the planet and the rings in brilliant detail.
The book pictured here is Alexis Pauline Gumbs' brilliant biography of Lorde. When you read it you get a sense of the importance of time and place were for Lorde, but also for how her immense contribution remains relevant.
We need her comprehensive analysis to face the long fight ahead, a struggle she was already part of during her life: the struggle for life on earth against the interests of unbridled capitalism. Interests who use white supremacy and sexism to justify their methods.
You are going to see a lot of tributes to Audre Lorde for her birthday. Many will leave off two of the words she regularly used to describe herself. Yes she identified as a black lesbian poet but don't forget her other chosen descriptors: revolutionary and socialist. 🧵
