Just a reminder anytime you see Hakeem Jeffries or Cory Booker pull some long speech that doesn’t actually do anything, it’s nothing more than a fundraising mechanism.

it’s honestly sad to see the way many of you were excited about what Hakeem Jeffries did earlier. it was nothing. we all knew what would happen the second he stopped talking, and he wasn’t going to talk long enough. it wasn’t close to enough. Yet you all still get heartened. it’s honestly cruel

Bluesky, unlike X, doesn’t punish posts with links. Which means there is no good reason (and frankly no good excuse) for posts with screengrabs of articles that don’t link to them.
It’s bad for readers and bad for the writers whose work you’re using. Posting text? Link to where you got it.

If your brain thinks suggesting a book JAM-PACKED WITH THE N-WORD as a reading recommendation in response to a movie with a Black-led cast set in the Mississippi Delta, you aren't, on any level, the person to be writing a piece.
After you watch Sinners, you should read George R.R. Martin’s excellent and underrated vampire novel

I find it so funny that people in the US and Europe go on about how evil China is, but then heavily rely on China for all their manufacturing.
It’s like “evil China is a dystopian shithole, they want to spy on Americans”, but then rely on China to manufacture your cheap crap because it’s cheaper.

interesting because some shitty people on this website insisted to me that he might have committed a crime and therefore deporting him was justified, despite the Trump administration not even alleging one bsky.app/profile/adha...
"The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil"
"Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs."
Free this man immediately.

Black people are getting moderation labels for being intolerant to white people on bluesky even though they’re stating clear truths & white people are not an oppressed class because white supremacy rules the world. And Palestinians begging with their dying breaths are having accounts deleted.

Reminder that the DMN endorsed Greg Abbott for reelection in 2022 after his election denialism anti-LGBTQ attacks, and did not endorse either of Trump's opponents in 2020 or 2024. They are who you think they are.
People still talking about the Dallas Morning News not showing up to cover the April 5th "Hands Off Protests".
For non-Dallasites:
1) The protest was literally under a mile from DMN headquarters
2) The *nationwide* protests have been planned for weeks
3) Other Dallas media covered it
