I've been experimenting with posting the same content at the same time on Bluesky and Twitter and the Bluesky posts have higher engagement despite having like 1/3 as many followers here. Hmm.

🎈🥳💙💛🎉🎈💙💛🎊🎈🍀 Happy Birthday, Mr. President 💝 BEST LEADER of the world🫡 We wish you all the best! May your wishes come true soon.🍀

All to please a wannabe king who is demented and thrives on violence.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

New statement from Alex’s family:

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

Stephen Miller called the victim, an ICU nurse at the VA filming ICE, a “domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Greg Bovino said he “wanted to massacre law enforcement.” You saw the videos. How can any Republican not call for their resignations?

Invoking the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis will be the biggest mistake the regime has ever made. I would like to remind everyone of what happened to the Ceausescu's when they violently crushed protests and were eventually found guilty of genocide. It didn't go so well for Nicolae and Elena.

I wonder how long it will be before an ICE agent shoots dead another ICE agent by mistake when attempting to abduct a man in #Minneapolis. And ICE then kills the man and his entire family in retaliation.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

This is so fucking haunting.

not surprising and yet still jarring to read ex-FBI agents describing how Kash Patel and Bongino reacted to Charlie Kirk's murder while running the agency. truly the content creator administration/podcast govt www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread) 1. Pat Bagley

Can we rally and get @nancylacore.bsky.social more followers She’s running for Mace’s seat in SC. Mace is vacating her position to run for gov 🥴 Let’s go!

The greatest danger of Russia taking Greenland comes from a damaged NATO, precisely what Trump is doing. Trump is the threat he warns us about. Trump’s argument about that threat makes no sense. Almost.

Brilliant. Cuts straight through the Greenland bull and shows how far out on a limb the Dear Leader has got himself.

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

This cascade of headlines is so much the Trump era.

I will never get over the fact that the Republican Party chose as its standard-bearer, and this country elected as its President, quite possibly the worst human being on the planet.

"I thought he was only going to abuse gay people" is not really a save, but maybe it will lead to some reflection

Time and again, successful resistance to Trump’s authoritarianism comes from ordinary Americans putting their actual bodies on the line, when institutional leaders can’t even deign to use strong language.

"Almost violently" is another way of saying "non-violently." They don't give out tickets for "almost speeding."

The biggest obstacle we face as a society in getting people to accept reality about Trump is that it requires people to face reality about themselves and about ourselves as a society.

This is extraordinary. They aren’t just kicking the ICE agents out. They’re temporarily closing the hotel altogether due to “heightened safety concerns in St. Paul.”

Minneapolis.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Money that could have gone to healthcare or education is going to an armed militia

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you have accomplished thus far in 2026 is reading several books, drinking multiple pots of tea, and consuming a scandalous amount of chocolate croissants, then you have accomplished more than enough.

An NYT team assesses competing claims about the events preceding the killing of #Renee Good. It's pretty obvious what happened - except of course to the government. Their video compilation is the kind of thing you might hope for from impartial authorities. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

okay the actual last thing i have to say here is that a lot of you are responding with "you think guardrails and institutions will hold!" and that is a sign you aren't actually engaging with the words you're reading. (cont.)

Jamelle and I disagree on some things. (We've met. He's a very nice guy.) But this is Real Talk that irrational doomers need to hear and I'm sitting here applauding his willingness to take the wave of kookery that's gonna come his way for saying all this.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious that “pedophile protector” is going viral worldwide.

Brilliant.

Twitter is not working. So here I am. Whats up Bluesky?

Welcome to BlueSky. I left Twitter when it was called Twitter

One of them is gonna shoot their own dick off and it'll go more viral than the ones falling on the ice.

This is fascism, pure and simple.
