Amazing breakfast this morning. I love waffles

Yesterday the exchange in the first pic occurred. Jay is the CEO of Bluesky. Anyway it turns out that Jay is kind of a shitbag? Instead of reflecting on why this could happen Jay posted the contents of the second pic a few hours ago. So that's why the waffles thing is a thing.

Arkansas police pulled over an Indian GrubHub driver wh ois married to a U.S. citizen. They found a bottle of Opium-brand perfume, arrested him for narcotics possession, and turned him over to ICE, where he was held for 30 days. He has now been stripped of his immigration status.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

Hegseth said yesterday he wants to ban any symbols of “superficial individual expression” by people serving in the military. Of course, he was probably talking about dangerous things like rainbows.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Probably just a coincidence.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

Mike Johnson cancels votes, locks doors to U.S. House as he has refuses bipartisan negotiations to keep the gov't open

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Now can we impeach him? He just declared war on America

Says the man who hits himself in the balls with a skateboard. Some standard. bsky.app/profile/cosm...

Putin is LMAO.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

🇩🇰 The Danish military has urgently called in hundreds of reservists in response to drones spotted over Danish airspace, - TV 2

Here's Michael Knowles a month ago once again calling for the "eradication of transgenderism" and here is a man who threatened to shoot up a gay bar because he wanted to "eradicate transgenderism." This was retweeted by prominent conservatives such as Chris Rufo. This is stochastic terrorism.

1 transgender shooter GOP: "We must institutionalize all transgenders!" 47,209 white male shooters GOP: "This is the cost of freedom."

You need proof Thomas Sanford was MAGA as fuck? It's been nine hours since he was identified and you haven't heard SHIT about his social media from the press. If he had been following Meidas Touch instead of Charlie Kirk they would be playing his posts in a loop.

To clear California High-Speed Rail for use on EXISTING train tracks between San Jose and San Francisco alone, the environmental review process produced a final report of 8,204 pages (456 hours of reading) and took almost 14 years to complete. We need reform.

Grok told users the lead singer of The Cure was the Mormon church shooter.

BREAKING NYT:   Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.   Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

He said what he said

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

Yes

Why do we live in hell world?

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

She came into her job widely accused of being a foreign asset. She now responds to those credible allegations by doing the first thing any foreign asset would do in her role: bury all intelligence on pending foreign threats to the United States. It's almost like America doesn't *want* to survive.

Good time to release the Epstein files

Think "fiery" like a dumpster fire.

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

The Hegseth Mystery Meeting is giving this

Pete Hegseth is planning a military coup in the right way by Ezra Klein

Your country, as you know it, ends next week. Be smart. Don't panic.

10 seconds of rudimentary analysis yields 2 reasons why this is a horrible idea: 1) Advance notice of the biggest decapitation strike in the history of warfare. All so Hegseth can swing his dick around. 2) Of course, it's possible this turns into a coup d'etat. Dumb either way.

If Hegseth demands that the top brass swear loyalty oaths to Trump, this as as good as a coup d'etat.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has summoned the military's top officers to a base in northern Virginia for a sudden meeting next week, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Second thing was…military coup?
