Enough with the fucking “this is a distraction” bullshit. That’s your cowardice speaking.
It is incredibly easy to say “These people are exactly the same as the messiest disasters you personally know, and would you want those people in charge of your daily budget? Your house? Your healthcare?”
Sounds like a perfect excuse for a trip to freegeek!
It is very important to remind people, at every opportunity, that Mayor Jacob Frey has sole and exclusive authority over the Minneapolis Police Department.
This is Jacob Frey's MPD assisting Donald Trump's feds in a raid on Minneapolis.
Imo the best way to learn is to snag a cheap trainer on marketplace and spend the winter using it with clips. By springtime the motion to unclip will be muscle memory. I also don’t like my spds loose, I wanna be clipped or unclipped but never a vague in between.
This compilation of noodles with the seven is pure joy. What a great channel

Heck yea, thanks!
YouTube search is failing me, who made the cherry blossom drive video?
BESTREWN, OUR GREAT CITY, WITH THE DETRITUS OF A THOUSAND FAILED PLANS.
ATOP A GATHERING NEST OF DETRITUS, THE GREAT LOON STANDS IN JUDGEMENT OF THE WANTON AND WEARY, BUILDING FROM THE REFUSE A NEW AND A TERRIBLE HOME TO WAIT THE ARRIVAL OF A NEW DAWN. BLESS THE LOON. FEAR THE LOON.
Protesting and boycotting Tesla and Target is good.
Know who should be next? Every cable provider.
Fox gets the lion’s share of its revenue from cable subs. Something like 3:1.
Fox News spreads lies and is now state media. You’re paying for it if you pay for cable.
But this is a pipe dream currently and you lend credibility to those acting in bad faith by suggesting it. Debating repeal as if it is an idea with any merit is idiotic.
Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta.
Why?
It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.
Every once in a while I'm reminded that the adults running Fremont, CA have chosen to force their children to spend every day next to a Tesla factory that has been in open noncompliance of the Clean Air Act since like 2019 (at a cost of <$3m in fines), and I get so mad I can't see straight
Gavin Newsom is a loser with no dawg in him, no fight, nothing but another boring suit www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
If you're an REI member, you can vote to toss out the board that's endorsed Trump's candidate for Dept. of Interior and has worked to stop REI unions. Vote runs until May 2nd. Spread the word. vote.escvote.com/REI/
Duane Puryear holding the AIDS quilt panel he completed before his death. It reads "MY NAME IS DUANE KEARNS PURYEAR. I WAS BORN ON DECEMBER 20, 1964. I WAS DIAGONISED WITH AIDS ON SEPTEMBER 7, 1987 AT 4:45 PM. I WAS 22 YEARS OLD. SOMETIMES, IT MAKES ME VERY SAD. I MADE THIS PANEL MYSELF. IF YOU ARE READING IT. I AM DEAD..."
Every time some elected democrat sucks off Reagan, I think about Duane.
Finally some good news
gag in the first wayne's world movie where he's interviewing a local sponsor and holding up 3x5 cards that seem to be normal interview questions, but the side the camera sees has things written on them like "this man has no penis" or "he blows goats, I have proof"
the same scene continued, this time it reads "sphincter boy --->" pointing at the guest
if all you're going to have is little signs, make it worthwhile
HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?
Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.
Lift an old boxer and I think you’re cool as hell, drop a buncha cash on a new Porsche and you’re probably just a jerk.
one of the most effective things that can be done to remove musk from power *and* break the republican party is destabilize and destroy tesla's market position, because wrecking tesla's largest shareholder means wrecking the republican party's primary financier
Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence.
That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received.
The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.
Title: House Republican Plan Would Take Health Care and food Assistance Away from People to Pay for Tax Cuts for Wealthy Subtitle: House Republican plan could cut Medicaid by $880 billion and SNAP by $230 billion while giving wealthy people $1.1 trillion in tax cuts Bar graph showing cuts to Medicaid ($880 billion) and cuts to SNAP ($230 billion) on left in yellow, and taxt cuts for people with incomes in the top 1% ($1.1 trillion) on right in red Note: People with incomes in the top 1% have $743,000 or more in annual income. All estimates are through 2034.

The Republican budget plan:
-Cut SNAP by $230 billion
-Cut Medicaid by $880 billion
-Give $1.1 trillion to the top 1%
Republicans want to slash Medicaid, which pays for nearly half of U.S. births.
Republicans want to slash Medicaid, which pays for 3/5ths of nursing home patients.
Republicans want to slash Medicaid so they can give tax cuts to the super-rich.
Senator, welcome to Bluesky.
Can you explain why you're sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 230, which would effectively make it impossible for Bluesky to do what it's doing today, creating this kind of space?
Thanks.

I’m really so ashamed she’s ours.
When you see Rubio's state department going above and beyond in terms of discriminating against trans people, innovating cruelty beyond even what Trump ordered him to do— remember, Rubio was the cabinet number the Senate voted for unanimously. Every Democrat plus Sanders literally voted for this.
I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...
another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary
they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access
