I’m really not a fan of “where are the student protesters?” discourse. You probably don’t see as much because university administrators, law-enforcement at all levels, many state govts, and the current federal govt have made it very clear that speech on a college campus is effectively criminalized

Again, leaders of other countries don’t talk this way. The glee with which our current leaders talk about killing people is not normal, and nor is their lack of concern for who exactly we’re killing. American bombs incinerated 100 kids in Minab. Were those the “right people”?

Idea: mandatory retirement age for Congress equivalent to the average U.S. life expectancy (79) so they actually care about improving it.

Threatening, surveilling, or harassing journalists for reporting in the public interest is an attack on press freedom, on democracy, and on the public’s right to know.

It's not just that this is a lazy lie, which of course it obviously is, it's that all these tedious pundits recycle the exact same lie over and over again and pretend it's journalism. Spoiled dullards passing around the same bag full of farts, each sticking a straw in there and taking a deep snort.

The left doesn’t hate technology; we’re just not going to buy into shitty tech because the industry wants us to.

This week @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss the problems with AI and digital tech, and why we deserve far better.

Punishing student protestors only to get mad at them for not protesting anymore reminds me of how survivors are sued and harassed for coming forward only to then be blamed for not wanting to name and report their perpetrators anymore

CANADA 🇨🇦 FOR THE WIN

PARALYMPIC HISTORY

The Canadian wheelchair curling team defeats USA 7-3, becoming the first-ever team in Paralympic history to go through the round robin without a loss. What a team. What an achievement. Outstanding.

Or perhaps you’re not seeing as many because of the insane reaction of the universities and law enforcement?

This is an obscenely moronic take. The kind so dumb you have to be compromised to type it up.

Clyburn was first elected to Congress 34 years ago.

Here he is last year, saying: ""I have had incidents when I was looking for my glasses and had them on."

every time a street in nyc becomes more pedestrian-friendly and more parking-hostile, all the local business guys who drive to the stores they own from their homes on long island, in jersey, the mcmansion-y parts of queens, all flip out wondering how people will get there. my man you dont live here!

I asked Chief Communications and Content Officer Paulo Senra of @canadasocceren.bsky.social whether they are concerned with tensions surrounding USA as co-host of the 2026 World Cup, and if they have a statement about Iran potentially dropping out of the tournament.
