I want to reiterate something adjacent. Stop talking to Trump supporters. Remove them completely from your lives and tell them this is why, connect the dots for them and then please, stop. Let them think you're overreacting, whatever. You have to explain why you're right and then punish them.

Wrote up my thoughts on all the nonsense replies I've been getting falsely claiming that @schumer.senate.gov can't do anything and I should stop telling him to do more. There's a TON that he can do, as I outline in the piece. And he's doing basically none of it.

Fuck everyone in this administration who's attempting to rewrite history.

Good piece by @gregsargent.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com. Affirms why we need to be cautious lumping Trump with neoconservatism, which always paid thin tribute to virtue by presenting interventionism as a noble universalistic cause. Trump doesnt care about that.. newrepublic.com/article/2049...

John Roberts needs to be bullied more.

“No chief justice has done more to destroy the “rule of law” than Roberts.”

You hate fun if you don't like the guitar riffs in "Whole Lotta Love."

A distro rep just asked me to drop off a handle. No big deal. Normally their job. When he tells me where and what beer, I laugh. Dropped a sample of that like 8 weeks ago, 10 weeks ago. Happy they finally brought it in. He tells me they ran through some in early Dec. So why the handle now?!? Wth.

My cats have decided that the effects pedal area for my music setup is a fun place to chase each other in and out of.

January 6, five years on: sustained effort by Trump to rewrite history

If you still subscribe to the Tribune I ask you to think long and hard about what they're doing with your money

Some pretty heavy helicopter presence on the Northside, over Uptown.

If any of you need help putting anti-vaxxers in their place, give me a holler.

Excellent 🧵 with excellent links. But I'd just like to add that Miller is someone who had every educational opportunity & yet none of it stuck. He's a well educated ignoramus driven by the degenerate racism & bigotry he learned from his parents & the mentors he sought out.

Minneapolis:

94% of Americans disagree with the Trump administration’s position on who will decide the future leadership of Venezuela.

Propaganda works - this is also why conservative oligarchs are investing so much to purchase trusted media brands and convert them into propaganda outlets

I ate the wrong size gummy, friends. About double what I prefer.

We’re looking for an experienced newsroom leader with a track record of producing and editing impactful, community-centered journalism. If that sounds like you, apply to be our next editor in chief: buff.ly/jKsWWgE

One of the many reasons we're at where we are is because of decades of "how dare you criticize democrats you must want republicans to win"

Along these lines, if you're a military lawyer or know one, please put me in touch.

Progressives have never been "in power" and this is a made up scenario. Dude below is a loser who thinks the Times and WaPo were correct in not exposing the raid.

Hey bluesky friends. This is happening - blog.boozybeggar.com And I'd love to have some of you sign up and maybe even in exchange for a beverage, occasionally point out to me the errors, the typos, etc. Bonus - there will be recipes here pretty regularly.

Great advice! I have a feed of those I follow, one for astronomy pics, one of booze industry stuff, one for all the TTRPG people on here that I'm slowly building.

I can't tell if Sponge and Live managed to age a little more gracefully then I expected, or I'm just nostalgic and a little bit tipsy.

People are organizing constantly putting their bodies on the line and just because it doesn't turn up on your evening news you want to pretend it isn't happening. They can go fuck themselves.

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza. It's 25 degrees outside. Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!" Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

primary every Democrat

The murders of two people outside an LGBTQ+ bar at first looked like the act of a lone shooter. A ProPublica and @frontlinepbs.bsky.social investigation shows they were, in fact, the culmination of a coordinated, international recruiting effort by online extremists. (Published March 2025)

Senator Wiener's call for impeachment might be the first of the day?

I do not want to leave my house today, but I can't find a place to deliver me both a bottle of fernet and some Demerara sugar. Yes, I want a Toronto (the cocktail, though I enjoyed the city bunches back in like 2007).

Pelosi says “Trump has made no secret of his intentions to effectively abolish the Congress,” but then calls for him to fully and immediately brief Congress. The regime has already repeatedly lied to Congress about Venezuela! How the fuck is another briefing the appropriate response?

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds. I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are. My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

Everything is infuriating and the people in charge are irrevocably evil.

has anyone asked how many people US troops killed today?

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

This is the kind of idiocy we have to overcome in America...

Reading the Maduro “indictment” I’m suddenly reminded of WHY Gitmo existed and Obama didn’t shut it down. It’s because you can’t KIDNAP people, based on “evidence” you violated rights to obtain, and bring them to trial in U.S. courts.

Some of you do not remember this story and it shows. Those kids burned to death because a regular degular good samaritan could not get the doors to open.

What a time to know anything about the history of American imperialism and its consequences

There's your Nobel Peace Prize winner, btw. Hats off to everyone involved. Great job.

Convinced there are 0 good people at any levels of power in the US government.

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty

The House Armed Services Committee also was not briefed, I've confirmed.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

I demand my friends be less stupid than this person below. Please.

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.

you don't need to add caveats agreeing that the head of state abducted is a bad guy before opposing abduction of a head of state by military force. If the rule was any head of government is fair game then the entire world would be a series of decapitation strikes and show trials in foreign courts.

Are we supposed to call our reps and tell them we don’t like when the president engages in overt war crimes, or can we trust them to get there on their own?

The headline alone makes Reuters compromised.
