Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

A couple things…

The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.

And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.

Leilani Munter, y'all.

A couple decades ago I met & was friends w/ someone that has tourette syndrome & coprolalia. It was heartbreaking to watch and so hard for her to handle due to her embarrassment.

This perfectly explains how BAFTA should have handled the whole issue that happened Sunday evening. They got it so wrong

Nope, haven't heard this about Gen X at all. We were not kids during the birth/rise of SM so, not sure you have the generational labels correctly identified for your generalisations here.

I was thinking exactly this! What poetic ⚖️ it will be when this plundered continent is ultimately the one to optimise their future for climate change, responsibly leading the 🌎 in adaptability & innovation, thriving as 'The West' collapses.

The Winter Olympics is a dazzling spectacle – but on the ground in Italy the mood is darker | Jamie Mackay The Games could have showcased Milan’s abundant culture and architecture. Instead it has filled the city with gaudy pavilions and gentrification, says writer and translator Jamie Mackay

So you meant it figuratively? I'm aware you intended the emphasis to be on the government vs public response. You used hyperbole to get there & it doesn't work because there's no symbolic way to interpret the first half. 'Cancel everyone in the EF' is too specific to be emblematic.

Ireland announces scheme to provide basic income for artists The Basic Income for Artists (BIA) project is believed to be the first permanent one of its kind in the world.

After a trial over the last few years, Ireland has launched a permanent scheme giving a basic income of €325 a week for artists.

2,000 will be eligible, and successful recipients will be chosen at random from applicants, who must be "professional artists" (definition tbc).

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

I know a young 🇨🇦 who bought BTS tickets for the florida show, not thinking just panic-bought & now regrets. Can't find a Canadian buyer willing to go there, despite the eager enthusiasm for the group. She's working with ARMY to get them sold,but yah canucks don't want anything to do with that swamp.

Yeah fuck you lol bye-bye 🖕🏻

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

On the heels of Schedule F, this is bad. Really bad. Please read:

And you sound pretty judgemental & dismissive of others. If we're both correct, this conversation is over.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

I am regularly asked what specifically blue states and Congress should do to protect the midterm elections.

Decriminalization worked. B.C. killed it anyway ⋆ The Breach The province’s drug decriminalization experiment lowered arrests and reduced harm—but it failed a different political test

B.C. cancelled its drug decriminalization pilot, saying it hadn’t “delivered the results” they wanted.

Its results: fewer drug users arrested and traumatized by cops.

@desmondcole.bsky.social explains that when governments cave to moral panic, we lose good policies. breachmedia.ca/decriminaliz...

That happens regardless whether the drug is decriminalised or not. When you say 'junkies are x' - those are people who were born the same blank slate you were. They may be low down rn - they still deserve grace, & to be seen.

Did you buy it without knowing about these issues beforehand? Vancouver has been dealing with this for 20+years.

That's not a reasonable position. Just one example: Jon Stewart is in there based on search results, though for an innocuous reason. Incendiary statements are your jam, I get it. This one is bullshit.

Look how muscly the marketing team has made him - he's busting out of his suit he's so ready to go deport all those asylum-seeking hardened criminals with his bare hands. Good grief. He's that jacked in his dreams I'm certain; reality, erm no.
