Now that the Straw Hat flag is being used in reality as a symbol of revolution, very fitting, this pushes me further to consider developing an entire course on the politics of One Piece. Also helps that there’s so much content to cover both in the anime and its influences into the our world

Why Gen Z protesters worldwide are flying an anime pirate flag

Gen Z protesters from Indonesia and Nepal to Madagascar and Morocco, are rallying behind an unexpected banner: a grinning skull in a straw hat.

Holyfuckballs with the “bucking tradition” and noting Trump “believes” rampant crime. He’s not bucking tradition he’s violating the constitution and civil rights of all Americans and rampantly lying to justify doing so. @npr.org is another example of why the US is fucked

unfortunate and incorrect use of an Oxford comma here

NPR @npr.org · 1d

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

So this motherfucker unironically wants to punish other countries for detaining US citizens while he’s ordered the detention and imprisonment of US citizens and legal residents at home without due process

Trump wants to punish countries that wrongfully detain U.S. citizens

A new executive order aims to strike back against “hostage diplomacy.”

Now that the #Yankees can look back on their complete 2025 season, my advice is to fire Boone and hire Mattingly to replace him

Quick Look at the live action of the #Yankees game

Kevin Baron 🧙🏻‍♂️😈☠️⚾️ @kevinbaron.bsky.social · 2d

They hit the ball off Gausman but mostly pop ups and grounders. I’m hoping with Toronto’s rookie pitcher today you’re right that the second time through will be good. They need to wake up their bats. I’m less worried with Fried on the mound but Toronto’s line up hits and doesn’t strike out much

Kevin Baron 🧙🏻‍♂️😈☠️⚾️ @kevinbaron.bsky.social · 2d

Okay #Yankees …I can really use a strong bounce back trouncing of Toronto today in game 2. Y’all really need a win before heading back to the Bronx

There are shocking moments when I sit and try to comprehend that this administration is acting based on years of right wing propaganda. Trump believes cities like Portland are burning because the teevee foxes tell him so…and he acts on it

It’s really odd that every few weeks the presidents disappears from public view for a week and all we see are massive amounts of social media posts and we’re supposed to know that means he’s doing fine and his health isn’t an issue. It’s very Big Brother/Oz don’t look behind the curtain

Of course the Trump FBI doesn’t want anything to do with the SPLC…the SPLC tracks extremist and hate groups, ie Trump’s base of support. Besides, all those folks listed as hate groups on the SPLC website are being recruited into ICE or the FBI anyway

Al Jazeera English @aljazeera.com · 4d

Conservatives like billionaire Elon Musk had criticised the group for its criticism of Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA.

I am sometimes left so shocked by how many members of Congress act like they have no power to do anything. Think is so disingenuous as there’s plenty he could do…he chooses not to. So remember when they say they’re helpless/powerless to act, that’s their choice

Rather remarkable that the Trump administration response to a government shutdown is "let's inflict as much pain as possible on as many Americans as possible"
