holding a regular iphone after having the iphone air for nearly 2 weeks feels so wrong

now if I could just stop going through one screen protector ever 48 hours, that'd be great

why are right wingers obsessed with writing on bullets, man

if you're gonna fabricate a story, a piece of paper is a little easier and more believable, no?

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?
Honest question - does Kash Patel know about court?

You are not Making a Difference there. You are not Fighting the Good Fight. You are not even Maintaining a Community you couldn't easily replicate elsewhere.

You are propping up a right-wing site and, worse, you are being warped by your constant exposure to it and you don't even realize it.

Leave.
No matter what #Musk says or does, many on the left continue to post on and pay for X, a clear example of how progressive movements are beholden to the narrative that we don't have to change anything at all about our lives to achieve our political goals.

I wrote about why that's bad in July ⬇️
X reveals a weakness in left-wing rhetoric
Good principles mean nothing when you materially support a fascist propaganda machine.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

Seriously you fuckin cheesey wankstains, you've got a huge vibrant community of people who WANT to be here and you keep antagonizing and sacrificing them to appease people who are going to hate you no matter what you do. Get a fucking grip and take the W.

also how many gun owners are apparently engraving rifle bullets with ideologic comments? because we've apparently had two in recent history and I just don't see that happening

I like how saying “Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit and I’m not mourning his death” is now celebratory????

Anyway Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit and I’m not mourning his death

if charlie kirk didn't get shot the right wing would be equally and as consequentially as mad about a tv commercial or restaurant logo or something else, they're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless

You know how I’ve been warning people on here for years about fedposting, because this is a 100% public social media website and we know for a fact that authorities are actively looking at it
For at least the second time, a Bluesky user caught a federal criminal case - this time for threats against ICE and Tom Homan. There are screenshots if you want to see which user.
