Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

Bari Weiss would be a great name for an old jazz musician name dropped in a Tom Waits song. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

One gets the sense that to many Americans Israel really is the 12th state of the Confederacy

Trump's current and former US Ambassadors to Israel, Mike Huckabee and David M. Friedman, performed a rendition of "Sweet Home Alabama" in Israel titled "Sweet Home Yerushalayim."
The lyrics were changed to push for Greater Israel.

Newsom is a friend to big business. He is a friend to private equity. He is a friend to law enforcement, to Steve Bannon, to Newt Gingrich, and Charlie Kirk (pre-hole).

He isn't progress — he is a parasite.

First sentence says it all: "Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation that would have required data centers to report how much water they use." Read the rest of the story though. from @ianjames.bsky.social: www.latimes.com/environment/...

California cracks down on water theft but spares data centers from disclosing how much they use

Gov. Newsom vetoed a bill that would have required data centers to report their projected water use when applying for a business license.

The Portland ICE protest camp literally has a rack full of inflatable costumes for demonstrators who want to try one on...

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani just expressed his FULL ENDORSEMENT of Thomas Sankara. A KNOWN Marxist-Leninist.
What Zohran quoted: "fundamental change only comes from the courage to turn your back on the old formulas: the courage to invent the future."
This could be grounds for Zohran to be denaturalized and deported! Save New York from those who can't even govern themselves!

Trump complains about his Time Magazine cover photo in new post:

"the picture may be the Worst of All Time. They "disappeared" my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown... Really weird!"

You’re seeing, in real time, how liberal historians are whitewashing the (long) history of academics from marginalized backgrounds paying the price first, as well as how (queer, PoC) paid the price on Gaza in the last two years

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now
