THIS is the energy we’ve been waiting for. Credit where credit is due.
"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

Not enough journalists are talking about the fact that Greenland’s Inuit people— Indigenous people—are 88% of the population of Greenland.

Throwback to some early Bluesky Discourse — I think we’re getting there, finally, two years later.
Okay, *now that we’re on bluesky* can we start calling it The Bullshit instead of “misinfo / disinfo?”
It’s always been a more accurate term! Embrace the chance to use it, nerds 😤

Went to get a snack earlier, remembered the litter boxes needed scooping, the cats’ water bowl needs changing, the two dishes need washing
Might as well check all the doors, relock the car remotely, get the kettle ready for coffee in the morning
Back in bed
Where the fuck is my snack?

Con law prof here. This shit is WILD. "Plenary authority, derived from Article II and the mandate of the electorate" to disappear whoever the state deems a terrorist is not a fucking thing in any kind of constitutional democracy. It's unvarnished tyranny.

Elon Musk has already poured more than $12 million into an effort to flip control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court to a right-wing majority. And NOW a group he’s funding is offering voters $100 each to sign a petition opposing “activist judges.” Election lawyers say the move may violate state law.
