What an exciting day on @bsky.app

A message for all my fellow creatives who are struggling to produce right now: Every page you write, every melody you play, every brushstroke you take, every image you create, is an act of defiance.

We are the new Degenerate Artists and it’s time to get to work.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

I didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize today, but you don’t see me acting like a little bitch about it.

This is obscene.
Their descendants couldn’t go through this much money in generations, even living as high as the TechBros do now.

This is resource hoarding. In any other animal species, a resource hoarder would be set upon by the rest of the group.

Yet we walk around deifying them.

The ‘currency swap’ has been finalized. Argentina got their $20 billion and gave us an unknown number of pesos, while he cuts healthcare and human services for Americans. Don’t call it a bailout, they say — it’s like saying tariffs aren’t taxes. What happened to America First?

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

The next time my doctor asks what kind of health insurance I have, I’m just gonna say, “the good kind.”

Good. I saw plenty of rebellious punks from my youth turn into closed minded frightened bigots, so it makes sense that the reverse could happen too.

ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson is second in line to the presidency, but he wants you to know he has no opinion on anything and takes responsibility for nothing. His go-to line is “not in my lane.”

Did the White House really hold an actual “round table” to discuss the “threat” of an imaginary organization comprised of American citizens who oppose fascism without realizing that means they’re pro-fascist?

Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.
