"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case." This is a flat-out 100% lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and he knows it. Impeachment resolutions are privileged, they can force a vote at any time.

Holy f***

the professional class, with good reason to think we are correct: Trump is coming for us as a class trump: let's make sure that we also come for everyone else too

Not even a year and they've committed war crimes, while Trump keeps freeing hardened criminals from prison. Everyone who voted for this abomination is responsible.

🙁

This is pretty scary, actually.

ABC's Jonathan Karl’s book says that after the 2024 assassination attempt, Trump’s first question at the hospital wasn’t about his health or safety, but “How’s it playing? How does it look on TV?”

Ewwww. I helped cure ballots for this guy! This stuff he’s saying is really sexist and regressive.

Of course.

When people sigh about “these communities are dying” what they fail to consider is that they are dying for very good reasons, including that the people who live there are doing their level best to kill their own community (and also other communities) every day.

The future of humanity is being hijacked by a fraternity of sociopathic weirdos, sycophants and idiots

WTH is an “AI Artist”? There are no AI artists. They’re computers. That’s it

Everyone saw this coming. Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH. And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.

All the best people love Trump.

A drug habit would be less expensive.

“Civilizational issue.” They’re all repeating the same white supremacist talking points.

Well, Bluesky also has porn bots. 😕

It all goes back to Reagan. We had stagflation in the 70s. In the 80s, when he got into office, things drastically improved. Or so we felt at the time.

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period. Every corporation. Every Republican. Every influencer. Every Governor. Every evangelical leader. Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

How are these people able to live with their own hypocrisy? I don’t get it.

Of course. “Mr. Trump has used the unfettered presidential clemency power to forgive an array of white-collar crimes and to make political points, including by casting prosecutions of his supporters as corrupt witch hunts like those that he claims had targeted him.”

Of course.

An organization devoted to preserving the legacy and memory of Emmett Till has taken ownership of the barn in Drew, Mississippi, where he died and plans to open it as a public memorial by 2030.

Suddenly occurring to folks it’s conceivable Trump won’t be president forever and anti-corruption laws might ever again be enforced….

😕 Probably right. Being reelected President has helped Trump’s business interests like never before. What a pitiful little man, can’t see beyond himself and his own wallet. And he’s dragging us along with him.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

“Western civilization.” This is straight-up Nazi stuff.

It’s good to hear the history to put this into context.

<snerk>

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

From Frederick Douglass's 1867 "Composite Nation" speech, a defense of Chinese migration to the United States at a time when anti-Chinese sentiment was intensifying. teachingamericanhistory.org/document/our...

yeah after thinking about this for a squidge, I think the real interesting thing here is that he's explicitly rebranding the GOP to people who go along with him, and that speaks to problems in the caucus that are slipping out.

Instant lawsuit. “I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden… Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury." apple.news/Ara06VG_1RgO...

Number one domestic terror threat remains white supremacist violent and radical right wing groups. Not a peep about it from the Trump Administration. In fact they scrubbed the data from the DOJ.

This makes me sad. There are so many versions of what the Internet could have been. We didn’t have to end up with the exploitive, data-harvesting, emotional-strip-mining version we currently have. But people got greedy and heady with power. Laws usually arise to stop excesses like this. 1/

Dear God. Yeah, so I think this would be an illegal order, mission commander and those who carried this out? I’m not judging. It can be very hard to know at the moment if something is outside the bounds of what you should be doing. Esp in an org like the military that expects obedience. But… try.

This is the obvious conclusion, right? That they’re going to frantically erase Trump’s name from all of it. Ughhhhh.

If the U.S. was at war, Pete Hegseth's order would be a war crime, a military lawyer said. Instead, it might just be murder. wapo.st/49KbUJ1

This is the origin of the economic blackout many of us are doing right now. I’m doing it because if Black people do it, I do it. Boycott Target and also this. Shop local, Black-, and immigrant-owned through Cyber Monday. Don’t give money to those who cozy up to Trump.

“The researchers showed that raising body temperature to fever levels is effective at stopping human-origin flu viruses from replicating, but it is unlikely to stop avian flu viruses.”

It’s an incredibly dark moment right now. “The stakes have never been higher.” All of this because two National Guard members who were illegally deployed got shot. But this is exactly what I feared when I heard the shooter was Afghani.

This makes the situation very clear, doesn't it.

Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

All of ‘em, huh? Every single one other than that one brave female journalist who asks the hard questions every time? The press corps may have been partially filled wish hacks, but not all of it. Come on, people.

My most republican, most maga relatives have either reverted to not talking politics or openly praying the lord takes them all up to heaven soon, depending on which flavor they are, which is how you know morale is low

Proud to see over a dozen JFREJ members (listed here, non-exhaustively!) appointed to committees all across Mayor-Elect Mamdani’s transition team, including: Committees on Community Organizing, Community Safety, Health, Housing, Immigrant Justice, Social Services, Worker Justice, Youth & Education..

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.

Ewwwuh. I don’t buy the “Thanksgiving celebrates genocide” claims because…no, it never did, but THIS meme sure as hell does. “Appeal to Heaven,” by the way, references the “Appeal to Heaven” tree flag, which has been adopted by Christian nationalists, who also happen to be white supremacists.

This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

Basic question: why does a school have a policy forbidding long hair on boys anyway?
