Vote Blue No Matter Who was always a lie told to keep progressives in line. Shitlibs will not vote for progressives because they hate progressives more than they hate Nazis.

Chuck Schumer has refused to endorse Zohran Mamdani, and now refuses to even say he’ll vote for him as Mayor. Just a breathtaking new level of cowardice.

Won’t someone please primary this spineless failure of a leader?

Envisioning an art installation that does this in some automated way typing out some long message like all of Wikipedia or something. I see it as a basement dweller version of Can't Help Myself.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

I’m heartbroken to learn that two New Yorkers have drowned as a result of today’s torrential rain and flooding. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts tonight.

This kind of sudden and intense rain has become the new normal—and our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.

Two Die in NYC Basements as Squall Brings Massive Rain Burst to City

Two men, one in Central Brooklyn and another in Upper Manhattan, were found dead in flooded areas after intense rain arrived late on Thursday.

At least 3,000 people who have been detained in Chicago ICE raids are missing from official DHS records.

We still don’t know what happened to the 1200 people who went missing from the Everglades facility.

They’re disappearing people.

No due process. No accountability.

Could ICE have 'lost' 3,000 immigrant arrestees in Chicago?

At least 3,000 jailed immigrants have vanished from federal records, according to human rights attorneys and organizations.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

In the end, it wasn’t a hard decision for the PSF to put our community and our values first, but it does mean we lost out on this large funding source. Donations and sponsorships will help us fill the gap, so we can continue supporting the Python ecosystem and living our values.

worth applying to politics as well. when you're criticizing an action people take "taking the better action next time" is only one of the alternatives people will consider, and worth remembering that "not bothering at all" is another.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Not only thrown in the garbage - in many cases the food thrown away is actively destroyed so as to be made unconsumable, so that no one can eat from the garbage and deprive the grocery store of profits.

Sit with that and think about it for a moment.

Kat Tenbarge @kattenbarge.bsky.social · 7d

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
