See what happens when you decide to be a homophobic piece of shit when a vast majority if your fan base identifies as queer?

Fucking dumb ass ding dong. The more celebrities that out themselves as being trash, the better. Good riddance.

Thoughts from a community activist in Memphis:
"If you are part of the Memphis [Un]Safe Task Force & conducting ICE operations, you are in fact ICE. The US marshals, DSS, FBI, HSI, SCSO, MPD, ATF, etc. All ICE."

Bad Bunny was once again the most streamed artist globally on Spotify after claiming the honor for 3 straight years from 2020-2022. Incredible that a Spanish language unabashedly Puerto Rican album was the most streamed globally this year.

In the books, Katniss's sister Prim was killed in an IED blast that was orchestrated by Gale to SPECIFICALLY be a lure for any who came to help the wounded to die. When confronted, he felt there was no rules if they were the good guys

That is what happens when everyone thinks they're the good guys.

Calling gamers. If you know anyone who hasn't tried it yet, give them the gift of addiction! Also help this person out, those referral rewards are pretty sweet!
If anyone is thinking about playing FFXIV, hit me up for a referral code before you pay for anything. We both get a little something for it, and I want the dang things you can only get from referring someone... 😭

If you're already on the free trial (ie, have spent $0), I can still give it to you.

Weissand Effect is good.
In case you wanted to watch the CECOT segment pulled by Bari Weiss yesterday; it was leaked to a Canadian streaming service and has been uploaded to YouTube and linked all over Bluesky. The Weissand Effect, ftw. Devastating and well-researched piece. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIm6...

The south has the largest population of Black (Louisiana) and Latino (Florida panhandle) Catholics. Churches are nonprofits and need donations like any other. Latino people have been sheltering in place for MONTHS in fear which means churches are hemorrhaging money during PEAK giving season

Here's a currently working link to the CECOT segment that was smoked by the government.

Because truth dies in darkness and these men deserve to live and be heard.

This. This this this this.

It ties into what I said yesterday, that a lot of the people who are crying about the journalistic integrity of the United States going down the shitter, which is accurate, aren't mentioning why.

What's happening to these men is why.
I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social:

(It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months.

It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.
This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.

And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Democrats have always made room for Hitler, as well. Many also love him. It's important to understand that eugenics, genocide, forced assimilation, ableism, anti-Black racism, and antisemitism have been foundational to this country.
Republicans have always loved Hitler, what's changed is they're more comfortable admitting it and that's because they don't get smacked in the face hard enough

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.”

Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

No matter how damning the evidence, it'll never be the smoking gun that people want it to be, and none of the people clamoring for it seem to care what kind of impact it will or won't have on survivors.

There is no shortcut for righting the ship. Accept that.
Can we at least all agree on one thing? Everything that's been made of Epstein & people he's associated with has been about everything but justice & healing for the survivors.

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…

BULLSHIT.

@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.

This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.
