American fascism is hilarious; it’s politics as aesthetics, but the aesthetics are ass.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

I have seen businesses dump trash - broken office equipment, boxes of burnt-out fluorescent tubes, lots and lots of paper - near homeless encampments. Housed and wealthy people dump trash because they can get away with it and it will be blamed on the homeless.
Just leaving these two excerpts here. Completely irrelevant to anything happening

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

No matter what a peaceful protestor may intend, it’s police who are deciding when to use violence and whom to use it against—and nothing we saw this weekend indicates their violence was confined to those who were not “peaceful.”
The Los Angeles Protests Are an Act of Self-Defense

Talking to people from Gaza is so important. If you’re not sure if a Palestinian in Gaza is genuine, instead of lamenting them as spam or questioning them on your account publicly (which prompts people to report them) validate them yourself by DMing them and asking to video call.
If you follow me I am going to ask that rather than engaging full time in the discourse you share some Gazan stories, talk to a person from Gaza, repost a Gaza fundraiser (here’s a list in this thread also in my pinned post, also just find one yourself).
I care way more about that

I’m addressing this in a more comprehensive way later but right now I am going to share some lovely people from Gaza who are getting ignored because Bluesky wants a three ring circus to distract everyone from their reprehensible policies around the voices of Palestinians
