Replying to @owillis.bsky.social

republicans still regularly bring up carter and clinton and democrats act like bush and reagan never existed except inexplicably to praise them.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The Dem party will probably say nothing, because disrespecting Black women, especially Rep Omar, is seen as a “distraction” #blacksky

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal agents searched Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say.

NEW: Anthropic's AI model submitted a false homicide tip to the Philadelphia Police Department in July, authorities say. The Silicon Valley company discovered the unintended interaction two months later and alerted police officials this week. www.inquirer.com/crime/anthro...

Segregation in everything

Jane Coaston@janecoaston.bsky.social

they were *lying* when they were "worried" about Asian-American college applicants, and they are *lying* now when they're "worried" about "strivers." They do not want non-white people being in any way superior (or evident) to white people. that's it. that's the whole thing.

Russ Vought and Stephen Miller are the 2 signals to me that, “oh they’re really going for it all, huh” and that the Dems truly need to understand that they aren’t looking to cede power #Blacksky

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

One thing that’s interesting about this is that it shows that despite insisting the wokes overinterpet everything, conservatives are actually aware of and agree with their critics about how coded racist appeals work, they just like them bsky.app/profile/newr...

The Plot to Enslave America. They want to guarantee that Americans are consumers of last resort for Big Oil and the Gulf Monarchies' otherwise stranded reserves as the rest of the world electrifies and renders oil obsolete.

I’ve been reading enough on this the past few days to know that doing it would be a bad move, and whatever benefits the nation gets would be temporary

(Bloomberg) - Saudi Aramco told at least two oil refining customers in Europe that they will be allocated no crude oil next month after the kingdom’s key pipeline to the Red Sea was attacked, people informed of the decision said. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Used to walk by this mural all the time. Point Breeze is a nice little neighborhood. Predom. Black, tons of gentrification over the past 5-10 years, but great position for anyone who worked in Center City

The nomination for the 1987 mural, 'We the Youth' to become a part of the city's Register of Historic Places was approved in a Philadelphia Historical Commission meeting.

The quakers are always real ones.

A Philadelphia family just bought their first home with a $10,000 first-time homebuyer grant funded by a group of Quakers It’s part of the congregation’s racial justice plan to redistribute wealth to Black residents in the Germantown area as a form of reparations

The most beneficial part of my time with DSA was getting a labor education, and learning about working folk struggles. Also, don’t think they wouldn’t do this to us again #blacksky #DSA

This Day in Labor History: September 15, 1845. Women working in the Pittsburgh textile mills met in Market Square to discuss the necessity of fighting to cut their days from 12 to 10 hours without a reduction in pay. The workers struck and a militant confrontation with capital resulted!

The former Republicans think the “class first/non-woke” side of the Left is the way to go. That’s about what I figured

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Economic populism. Social moderation. Zero patience for party orthodoxy. The "Bernie Dogs" might be the Democrats' new trick. Read @lauren-egan.bsky.social's latest edition of The Opposition:

I can’t speak to Jasmine Crockett. But I will say that I’ve noticed that grown Black women who still champion Chris Brown seem to frame themselves not just as fans, but as his protectors. He’s 37 years old but somehow gets to be a “rough around the edges” teen heartthrob who needs to coddled.

I long thought Senator Kim was one of the centrist, “can’t we all just get along” Dems but he seems to get it

Senator Andy Kim@kim.senate.gov

There is a clear cycle of corruption between the Trump administration and the companies that run his for-profit detention centers.   Delaney Hall must be shut down for good.

Interesting. I had an iPad mini like a decade ago, but I thought it was the GOAT form factor size. U could 1 hand it, and it works nice for watching media. That, with a foldable ability and better screen, is impressive. Now, the price on the other hand…

Last-Minute Leak Reveals Foldable iPhone Name, Price, and Colors

macrumors.comLast-Minute Leak Reveals Foldable iPhone Name, Price, and ColorsApple is set to unveil its first foldable iPhone on Wednesday, September 9, at the company's "Surprise and Shine" event beginning at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and a last-minute leak from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has revealed three key details about the foldable. * Foldable iPhone name: Previous rumors and reports have clung to the name "iPhone Ultra" for Apple's first foldable iPhone – a name that Gurman himself has used several times in the past. However, in his latest report, Gurman says Apple has settled on the name "iPhone Duo" for the device. * Starting price: TrendForce estimates and other reports have suggested the iPhone Duo will start at above $2,000, and perhaps go as high as $2,500. Gurman's latest report says the starting price will be $2,000 for the 256GB model, while the highest-capacity model will be around $3,000. * Color options: Previous rumors suggested Apple would "stay away from fun colors" for its first foldable iPhone, with a darker color being described as a shade of indigo rather than black. Gurman's last-minute report backs up that idea, saying the iPhone Duo will come in white and dark blue. Gurman says the iPhone Duo will "go on sale as early as October," suggesting it will be available to buy at a later date than the iPhone 18 Pro models, which are also expected to be unveiled today at Apple's "Surprise and Shine" event.Related Roundup: iPhone FoldTag: Foldable iPhone This article, "Last-Minute Leak Reveals Foldable iPhone Name, Price, and Colors" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

Back in 2020 when I was doing DSA stuff, a female member told me about him. My first thought was “how is he different than the Chapo Trap House guys”… the big difference was she described Hasan as “dreamy” and I was like Oh. You can’t really reproduce dreamy energy. I’d keep him around
