She needs you to imagine the violent crimes because most of them are in fact imaginary

Luckily we've got a real A Team heading in to this part of the U.S. government right now... 😬 www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/h...

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We passed a law. They don’t get to force people to petition the king for mercy. We are still a democracy and this will be found illegal.

I have fertility issues, and I chose adoption. My friend had health issues, and she chose abortion. Another friend is gay, and she chose IVF and surrogacy. Pro-choice isn’t “for abortion”. Pro-choice is for making your own choices about reproductive healthcare.

E-M-P-A-T-H-Y Spread it around!

Every time he repeats "pumps and valves" nonsense, news reports should point out that the claim IS TOTAL BS. Either he doesn't know first thing about west coast water, or doesn't care, or both. (See: calmatters.org/explainers/c... ) As with 'China runs Panama Canal,' needs to be called BS each time

The same people having a temper tantrum over DEI just confirmed the least qualified Secretary of Defense in US history because Trump liked him on TV.

Trump has issued an executive order accusing 51 former officials, by name, of “election interference,” potentially a serious crime. Their offense was exercising their right to free speech, @shaneharris.bsky.social writes: theatln.tc/Zfakrrfl

Familiar

A confession?

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

Recrudescence. Yep. That about sums it up.

1/ 🧵 Marjorie Taylor Greene says Republicans will consider defunding NPR. This isn’t about saving money—it’s about silencing independent journalism and cutting off millions of Americans from trustworthy news. Here’s why this is dangerous and how YOU can fight back.

And, he also filmed this and gave it to his sister. www.huffpost.com/entry/charle...

“But the eggs were just so expensive.”

Karly knows what's what.

I am thankful for a social media site that’s not run by disinformation-pushing maniacal billionaire, not controlled by an algorithm design to censor news and much-needed debate, and not overrun by mean-spirited people who encourage and celebrate ignorance. Thankful, indeed.

Yup

Truly impossible to overstate just how badly America messed this one up.

I know I’m early, but patience was never my strong suit. I want to express my gratitude for all of you that are sharing in this journey. It isn’t always easy, but there’s comfort in our fellowship. ♥️

I feel seen

🔥Our messaging MUST be on point with Social Security. Social Security is NOT just for Seniors, it's also for people like me with disabilities & people who are Survivors and receiving the Social Security Benefits. Do you know who was a recipient of Survivor Benefits? Senator Lindsey Graham's sister!

Folks, Bluesky is turning into a powerhouse. I looked away and have nearly 100,000 followers. It has replaced Twitter for me as a "what's going on?" platform. It's not even December.

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but I’m pretty sure our president shouldn’t be a rapist, our DNI shouldn’t be on a TSA watchlist list and our head of counterintelligence should probably be able to pass a background check. Right?

TODAY’S EPISODE OF: WE FU*CKING WARNED YOU Guy’s dazed & confused when he realizes China doesn’t pay the tariffs—he does. Like Trump’s tax cut for big corporations. Why would they use that extra money to hire more people when current employees are already doing the work? They just pocket the cash.

"2. Hegseth has zero notion of which other countries might threaten America or how. In his books this is simply not a subject, beyond a few clichés." Essay: "Pete Hegseth: 13 Steps to National Destruction" snyder.substack.com/p/pete-hegse...

Why is Trump refusing to obey the law and sign Transition of Power agreements with the White House? There’s a reason, and it isn’t good. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

REMINDER: trump does not have a mandate. His margin of victory is itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, super small. One of the smallest in HISTORY. Smaller than President Biden's. Smaller than President Obama's. Smaller than Bush's. TINY.

For those claiming Gaetz was nominated as a sacrificial pawn, a calculated chess move to test the resolve of the Senate...by the guy who stared directly at a solar eclipse...it's time to put down the glue and go touch some grass.

Yeah, this was exactly what it was. A bone headed play by a moron who bankrupts casinos and hires the worst people. Just because he 'won' a low turnout election with barely 50% of the vote, it doesn't magically make him smarter.

If Ferris and today’s 🤡GOP would’ve just shown up to class on this one day…

Leak the m*therf*cking report! Pass it on.

Heads up! There is a State Supreme Court race in Wisconsin on April 1st! It is critical that this seat remain in Democrat control! So meet Susan Crawford! LFG! www.crawfordforwi.com

House Ethics Committee Republicans have landed on an excuse of not releasing the Gaetz report because it’s “unfinished,” and that would set bad precedent. Yes, THAT’S the precedent we must avoid— but nominating someone accused of child sex trafficking? That precedent is apparently fine with the GOP.

OMG!!! Here’s a Justice Department exhibit obtained by the NYT showing all of Matt Gaetz’s payments to many different women. Do Republicans really want to defend this???

Some of the same people who want to ban library books and drag shows seem perfectly fine with sexual predators serving in the cabinet. Make that make sense.

If the House Ethics Committee will not release the Gaetz report, the Senate should just redo the investigation publicly during the confirmation hearing. Recall every witness. Get it all out there.

Delta’s CEO says Trump has promised to roll back a rule requiring automatic refunds on canceled flights and another requiring airlines to disclose the full cost of a ticket up front

We don’t need Congress to release the ethics report on Matt Gaetz to know he’s guilty of statutory rape. The fact they’re trying to cover it up is proof enough.

Well she does talk a lot of shit.

🚨 THERE IS NO GOP GOVERNING MANDATE 1) Trump failed to get 50% or more of the popular vote. He only got 8 more electoral votes than he did in 2016 2) On day one he's a lame duck

“Clear mandate”? Not even close…

This is a fantastic pack! Thanks BDD!

Greetings Bluesky Friends! I've just finished my FIRST Starter pack, including many of your favorites (and mine) from the Other Place, now doing their thing in The Good Place. Share this far and wide, add some SUPER folks!!! go.bsky.app/8NLDrND
