The poster isn’t on bluesky so screenshotting but this is definitely one of the more evil UHC stories I’ve seen.

Me three months ago:

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced.

I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Glad the vice president of the United States, whose salary my taxes fund, is using his position to *checks notes* attack me on the Charlie Kirk show.

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning

The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn't a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

It is crazy that I just had to put this PSA on LinkedIn. LINKEDIN!

No one should get violent threats. But if you’re gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. I’Ve been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think it’s evidence that we need to say it louder

Insane NY Post column suggesting that the new First Lady who is sad about leaving her longtime neighbors in a not fancy NYC neighborhood is an ungrateful brown woman

We don’t talk enough about how straight up creepy Elon is to women. Like, if you saw him in a bar you’d reflexively put your hand over your drink.

AOC says we should pass campaign finance reform so everyone can “stop being so scared of what a billionaire man child thinks”. Elon responds with a picture he generated by asking Grok for “images of AOC as sexy Pepe”. We’re reaching levels of divorced dad misogyny previously unknown to science

Rubio's state dept appointee is a white supremacist and a misogynist. I remember not too long ago when a Republican who said this would be disqualified from high profile federal jobs forever.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

Brooklyn craft beer packaging goes hard

This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!

I do believe we’re facing a generational problem. We have Dems who’ve been in office so long that they think their job is just to get elected in the next cycle and not to govern and wield power. They worry too much about what Rs might weaponize and as a result they refuse to fight.

When you write a piece noting that a guy promoted racism and violence, his followers immediately prove you right

Another thing: the people lining up to say “but he was nice to *me*” are to a person white guys in powerful positions. I got news for you: he did not respect your ideas, he respected your power and enjoyed proximity to it. Of course he was nice to you.

It’s crazy that he is negotiating on behalf of the U.S. at all. He has no government appointment and no one elected him and he has no business being in those meetings even without the grift

Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu

While Jared Kushner is negotiating on behalf of the United States with governments in the Middle East, he is also soliciting investments in his private business ventures from the same governments www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...

Jared Kushner Solicits Funds for His Firm While Working as Mideast Envoy

I wrote about one of the most vindictive people I’ve ever met so, uh, if something happens to me… www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Charlie and the Ambassadorship Factory

Charlie Kushner, the newly confirmed US ambassador to France, is a vindictive, felonious, and score-settling real-estate mogul, not unlike a certain US president.

I love how this makes it seem like they stopped monitoring RFK Jr

MAHA.

If your excuse as an elected official, here in 2025, for not doing something that is in the interest of Dems who elected you is that Republicans might weaponize it, you are not living in 2025. They are going to weaponize anything you do, either way. They have demonstrated this over and over.

Liver's cheap because there's low demand for it. If everyone started eating it, it would become expensive. And even if everyone loved it, it's only recommended that you eat it once a week, or you risk vitamin A toxicity. Would be nice if the secretary of HEALTH knew that!

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."
