Protected speech made my agents murder these people, says federal official

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

Go practice being mean to the fascist... make it apart of your spiritual discipline . Before you put fork to mouth ask Jesus or whoever you got to help you be mean to bad people.

Looking for a way to help this holiday season? I just purchased a few items off this list!

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

the republican party is a criminal conspiracy against the american republic

I couldn’t capture the true scale of the protest today in Traverse City, MI. It was massive! #NoKings

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but the orcas now have two F/A-18 Hornets

Now that the government is stopping food testing for several products (e.g., milk, poultry), are there independent bodies that test for contamination and bird flu? Wondering what I can look for, if anything, to feel good buying things.

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

Traverse City, Michigan! #handsoff #handsoff2025

I’m beginning to think it was a mistake putting all those evil crazy guys in charge

If we were conquered and under hostile occupation, what would the government do differently? Would an occupation government that wanted to crush the United States as a vibrant, prosperous country with influence around the world do anything differently?

We need new leaders in Washington. I’m running for Senate to be one. Let’s go.

Presidents Day protest in chilly Traverse City, Michigan!

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

We're finally dismantling the federal government! Sure hope it doesn't serve essential functions that I've taken for granted my whole life

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.

Banning trans kids from sports solves *none* of the problems that Americans are facing. Let’s be real: Trans kids aren't the reason we can't afford groceries. Trans kids aren't the reason young people are giving up on ever owning a home. Corporate greed is.

politics hasn’t ended and hard things are hard. i am NOT saying that there are “guardrails” or that trump will be stopped by some other force. i am saying that everything can be a battle if his opponents choose to make it one.

This would be the dumbest shit for Democrats. What are Dems even doing right now? I know a shift to the right was expected with a Trump win but sheesh. Can we get leadership with a spine?!

fascism is stopped when enough people say one of two things: 1) "nah, I'm not doing that" 2) "nah, you're not doing that" a lot of people want to imagine how they'll say the second thing, but you should *really* start practicing the first one

Called Senator Stabenow and Peters today! #didthistoday

It's really just the same 12 people we hoped never to hear about ever again, huh?

Fall in Traverse City, MI.

Everyone who briefly tried Bluesky a year ago and just came back for the first time:

Can anyone recommend Bluesky users covering Michigan politics and news?

Time to couple my election depression with Everton depression!

When folks say “don’t give up in advance?” What does that mean? 🧵
