Kim Scarborough 🇺🇦 @scarborough.kim · 02/09/2025I don't care for Greenwald at all, but he's not wrong here. I feel like Bluesky had a chance to become the new Twitter, but it took a wrong turn with its hysterical shunning of @jessesingal.com (and, to a lesser extent, of @brianna.bsky.social), thereby ensuring it would just become an echo chamber. 2112

Free trade; federalism; free speech. They jettissoned everything they had a point about & kept all the loathesome bits. 13467107

Kim Scarborough 🇺🇦 @scarborough.kim · 27/07/2025Maybe it's just because I'm an American, but this strikes me as deeply creepy. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05...telegraph.co.ukThe rapists, paedophiles and terror offender given shorter sentences than Lucy ConnollyBritain’s ‘two-tier justice system’ means you can get more jail time for an ill-judged tweet than for some of the worst offences imaginable 000
Kim Scarborough 🇺🇦 @scarborough.kim · 30/05/2025This is a pretty ridiculous conclusion to draw from the article. All he's saying is that the New York case was purely political, and really was unjustified from a legal perspective. And he's right! You can hate Trump, as I do, and still recognize that fact. 110

Reposted by Kim Scarborough 🇺🇦Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Democratic socialists and other leftists often just cannot be persuaded that capitalism is not, in some way, the final boss of politics, even behind the fascists. But they're wrong, they've always been wrong. Fascism, reaction, these things don't rise out of capitalism, they're distinct. 111179

People are actually dying from lack of organs, all just because people think selling organs is "icky". www.cato.org/blog/legal-m...cato.orgA Legal Market for OrgansAn alternative approach is to legalize the purchase and sale of organs.

Kim Scarborough 🇺🇦 @scarborough.kim · 13/02/2025If you made a list of all the unlawful, corrupt, and evil things Trump has done just since the start of his term, it would far outstrip in its venality the list of charges against King George in the Declaration of Independence. 000

Kim Scarborough 🇺🇦 @scarborough.kim · 05/02/2025Many people have the naive belief that the courts will stop Trump. Well, what if he just ignores their rulings? The judicial branch doesn't have its own police force. It depends on the executive to enforce its orders, and Trump is purging everyone in the DOJ who isn't loyal to him personally. 020
