So…. I think we just need a full moratorium on straight white men running for office until we can figure out what is going on. 😶

I was in college at the time, so probably about the same age as he was when there. And the college students I talked to (people around my age) were really open about what was happening in their country and the Nazi symbolism.

He says he got it in Croatia in 2007 ‘cause it looked cool.

Y’all. Post-Soviet-Union Croatia went hard Nazi. I was there in 2010 and Nazi graffiti was all over. I’m not shocked a tattoo place had it on the wall. But I don’t buy he didn’t know what it was.

It is.... at least. It's got it's problems, but mostly not the ones the rich people cry about. We need public housing, free public transit and fewer -- not more -- damn road lanes.

But it's also a wonderful city filled with delightful people who care a lot about all sorts of things. And good tea.

You are drinking the correct amount of tea, and I have no idea how my countrymen manage to survive on so little.

Idc, "4 people disguised as construction workers heisted the Napoleon family jewels from the Louvre in 7 minutes by rolling up to the second-storey window on a basket lift" is an objectively hilarious event

Just block the bad accounts. Do it right away. Don't share or dunk or comment or argue. That's what they all want. Just nuke them and move on.

They don’t know that’s a risk until it hits them in the face. Theres so much misinformation about what reproductive care is and is not, and how it connects to care for miscarriages, people just don’t know. I know I didn’t until the last few years after growing up in that world.

Ahhhh you’re in my town!! I was like “that building looks familiar” before I read the caption. Welcome!

Jo Michelle @jomichelle.bsky.social · 6d

I’ve been here for a year and no one bothered to tell me that. This is important information I’ve been denied.

Oh my gosh. The -checks notes- flipping Oregonian is trolling Mike Johnson!?!? 😃😂

There's nothing better than him gleefully daring a CEO to sue him after he's brought the receipts.

Honestly, I'm surprised Biden is happy at all about the ceasefire, since I'm pretty sure he didn't want it to ever happen. Seeing as he could have actually made it happen at any point but refused to do so.

Next step: labor camps. (As in, vastly expanding what we already do to incarcerated people.)

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

Once you reach a certain threshold of wealth your brain breaks, you completely disassociate from reality. Wealth cap should be mandated as a mental health protection.

So you're who they hired instead of me. I mean, I'd have made the same choice, but still .... 😂😅

Congratulations and I'm excited to read more of your work!
