it is beautiful how we are having another moment of Bluesky unity. everybody basking in the glow of how Ilhan Omar was very visibly gonna punch that dude in the mouth

USA Today is openly lying in this story. There is not "widespread criticism," there is: * Criticism from a body that Donald Trump controls * Criticism from a far-right body aligned with Donald Trump * Criticism from a political appointee appointed by Donald Trump That's it. That's the "widespread"

[whispering to Miller] He'll throw you to the wolves. You'll never get a pardon. It's now or never! [slithering over to Trump] He plots against you sire! Throwing him in the dungeon will send a message to the others!

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Proud to say this guy expressing all of our helpless rage is a friend of mine. Thanks to everyone in Minneapolis for standing up and showing up. bsky.app/profile/atru...

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump learning that there are actually limits to his power beyond his “own mind.”

Love this animation of an image posted by Trump by a Belgian activist named Daria, whose Twitter account name is Pepel Klaasa

Just as everyone predicted with the exception of Donald Trump, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Kevin Hassett. The last 3 knew they’ve been lying, not sure with Orange Caligula because he’s a moron and a liar so in his case it could be either one or both.

Begging the White House to please stop fighting with the country that makes legos

All these paid agitators showing up in their bathrobes to Minneapolis. They're deceptively trying to make it look like ICE's campaign of terror is happening just outside their homes.

Another Minneapolis, MN, ICE shooting, this one inside a house “Who did you shoot this time, you cosplaytriot fuck? I served in the army 13 years to wear that uniform, and your fat ass did 47 days to wear it because you’re a Meal Team Six Gravy Seal motherfucker.”

A gratitude practice is so important during difficult times. For instance, I am grateful that every ICE video is just three out of breath guys discovering in real time that no one respects them

this is Minnesotan for "I am mad enough to bite through rebar"

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Who can forget Winston Churchill’s famous “Don’t take the bait” speech?

ICE’s thugs are out of control

I remember a time when this headline would have been in The Onion, not Financial Times

@electdemocrats.bsky.social, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov, @housedemocrats.bsky.social, @democrats.senate.gov:

Would love to know what is going on with Jerome Powell but I took a solemn oath years ago to never learn what the federal reserve is so that I could avoid talking to libertarians

Two feet of snow in Canada this week.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

You didn’t see what you saw. You saw what we decide you saw. America 2026

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

Upon further reflection, CBS Evening News' decision to shift away from interviewing experts and towards highlighting what regular people are saying is smart because the experts would just be screaming profanities tonight.

Putting the "napping" in kidnapping.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

i do find it a fascinating assumption rightwingers are making that they should be able to walk into any daycare center and observe random peoples children whenever they want

“I’ve matured. I’ve developed depth.”

The funniest part is that the whole point of funding the crusades was to send your potential sources of domestic political instability (loud, violent lunatics) off on a mission where, worst case scenario, they were out of your hair for several years or, best case scenario, they died.

"I had a good and very productive phone call with Führer Hitler of Germany prior to my meeting with Charles de Gaulle of France today. Führer Hitler was very clear about which parts of France not currently under Nazi control he wants. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Winston Churchill."

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark – a sovereign nation. Venezuela is a sovereign nation. Panama is a sovereign nation. Canada is a sovereign nation. Mexico is a sovereign nation. Ukraine is a sovereign nation.

From @parkermolloy.com at New Republic. newrepublic.com/article/2047... I'd go a bit further. The system needs no conspiracy to function. It just needs everyone to understand the direction things are going in. Bari Weiss was put there not to protect a legacy, but to align its politics differently.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

As a huge fan of ███████ I feel gutted right now. Just an absolute betrayal of everything I thought ███████ stood for.

I hadn't seen a photo of Gavin Newsom in a while and forgot how much be looks like when the Joker disguises himself as a regular guy so he can go through airport security

"Mr. Trump's countenance was orange, his manner coarse, accent harsh, and wig ginger. No one could ascertain his income, as the number kept changing at his own report."

Schools should do what they do best, homicide investigations, and let the FBI return to doing what it does best, providing security details for Kash Patel’s girlfriend and driving her drunk friends home.

Thanks to @politico.com for rounding up some GOP disgust at Trump's social post. (which is here: truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...)

This entire weekend

By the way, if you think any money is too much money to spend on undocumented immigrants, consider this: "In 2023, undocumented immigrant households paid $89.8 billion in federal, state, and local taxes and held $299 billion in spending power."

Give me a bag of fries and five minutes alone with this guy, and I could have him babbling publicly about how the honorary Oscars need to be restored to the main telecast.

Joint Statement from Goodlander, Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, and Houlahan
