ILLINOIS Candidate for Congress @abugai.bsky.social : “You said Prizker & Johnson need a history lesson - I’d like to give you one: when masked men are kidnapping entire families, naked, zip-tying their hands and throwing them into U-haul trucks… they’re usually not the good guys.”

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution” THAT PART! Thank you, Judge Perry.

Actions have consequences.

Context matters

Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky. But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭 #Astrophotography

UNREAL! Trump administration finalizes economic rescue plan for Argentina! Trump to give them $20 billion of our tax dollars! How is this America first?! What about our farmers?! www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

WaPo editorial board in 2022: "Virginia’s attorney general sends a dangerous message to police...Don’t hesitate to shoot a civilian if you are exasperated, angry or feeling disrespected in the course of any encounter. [Miyares] will have your back." bluevirginia.us/2025/10/audi...

Chicago and Portland showing us how it’s DONE!!

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

A truly wild thread on IDF propaganda over on the bad site: x.com/jacksapoch/s...

There is no single way to resist; only the courage to invent one. 👍

YES! MORE OF THIS! Thank you Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold from Oregon’s National Guard 🙏 Source: www.oregonlive.com/politics/202... #Oregon #Portland #50501Movement

abcnews.go.com/US/central-w... If this is true, it is outrageous. It means that Lindsey Halligan misled a grand jury to induce it to indict and still damn near failed to do so-and did fail on one count.

Before Epstein, who reportedly/allegedly was one of the world's most notorious blackmailers, 47 was best friends with Roy Cohn, also one of the world's most notorious blackmailers. Off topic, I wonder how he decided which law firms and universities and media entities would settle lawsuits for $$.

My life personally? So many things. More importantly, so much movement organizing has happened in these spaces. MeToo, BLM, so many moments of spontaneous & planned critical resistance, worldwide – AND it has caused *so* much harm. Incalculable. Both are true.

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

Does he know the story of the birth of Jesus or nah?

Sickening.

Real quandary for Rubio: how do you pull your boss out of a meeting with Andy Ngo and other esteemed pro-fascist personages?

I. Feel. Exactly. The. Same. Way. 💯😢😢

NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:

It's clear by now that the Democrats won't press this case as aggressively as it needs to be pressed, and the media won't do that unless they have Democrats' quotes to use as a springboard either. They won't do this work, so it's even more important that we circulate these stories ourselves.

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

I think there's a distinction between a joke and a laugh line. This reads and sounds like a laugh line - ha! odd bedfellows in this room! - but it's not a joke. She clearly is happy to make common cause with a roomful of people who want to overturn Obergefell as long as they agree on whatever else!

Once again, I call on any one of these senators to respond to this sort of crap by asking, "Madam Attorney General, are you five?"

WOW: The Atlantic staff writer David Frum, New York Post columnist and The Spectator associate editor Douglas Murray, and Commentary Magazine senior editor Seth Mandel reportedly helped draft speeches for Israeli government official Ron Prosor www.mediaite.com/media/conser...

October 18 we have a simple message: No thrones. No crowns. #NoKings

Wells Fargo has never been an ethical company. No one should be shocked.

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads, drilling and other disturbances. Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

Bad Bunny should invite Zach to the Super Bowl 🎸 🏈

Country legend Zach Bryan has released a song that puts country over his own bank account. The backlash from country fans will be massive- they’ll force him off country radio like they did to the Dixie Chicks but he doesn’t need radio access anymore American hero 🇺🇸

Whitehouse: "The supposed contribution made to me by some Epstein person is actually not true. It's false. So, weird when an AG of the US comes to the Judiciary Committee & makes false allegations about a senator - demonstrably false - rather than answer a simple Q: Is there a picture, or no?"

I know we're all used to the president talking like Livia Soprano all the time, but this is a goddamn outrage

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

This from @jessicatarlov.bsky.social may be the most efficient use of 76 seconds of Fox News airtime I've ever seen.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

we need these everywhere...

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

More honest.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

I guess I haven't clearly articulated this in writing, but friends do not let friends without substantive IT work experience and/or a credible IT degree take cybersecurity career bootcamps in 2025. They are up to no good. Shenanigans. Malfeasance. They are not a safe way to get a job.
