“We say it was a different time. But all times are different”

NEW: “I was here yesterday recording video and they were laying shackles out on the icy tarmac. It was 15 degrees. Terrible,” said a “very enthusiastic aviation geek” Nick Benson yesterday during a rally demanding an end to deportation flights at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport.

Right! How is this not everywhere understood?

I’m old, and I am pissed. I say welcome to any youngster! 🇺🇸 😂 The more the merrier. They say the older you get, the more conservative you get. I call bullshit… I got more radical, it’s not that hard if your eyes are open.

Here’s a good point

Yes, it appears that many more will die , and it won’t be us nice liberals typing here on Bluesky. It will be the workers and families such as have already been taken. This blonde young woman is a new sight in the batch of kidnappings I’ve seen lately online here. Do we expect some new response?

Bad actors

Thanks #marisakabas Very important footage here “I thought we were friends” says the head of the peace agency “We are” chuckles officer friendly of the Metropolitan police dept. “See you in court!”

Sara Jacobson lays down the law setting Pete Kegsbreath straight about his priorities, wanting taxpayers to pay for his beauty boudoir! He better pay for it AND his glam squad w/ his own money!! Working in such luxury is a privilege we artists don’t take for granted. FOH, Pete! 💄 #SheShed #Pinks

www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... #elizabethstrout novel revolves around an act of stupidity flamed by ethnic tension toward #somali community in Maine. Excellent portrayal of how locals come to understand their immigrant neighbors

And taking care of women along with other people. Pro life, pro people, pro all

On the couch again, having just read #sarahkenziors answers to readers questions. Currently I am locked out of #substack due to an email change I made that did not go thru. Like Mr volts, I feel like totally quitting all media. Getting off the couch now.

So this trauma she is being put thru goes on and on in her life, her family—-will NEVER be forgotten!!

thank you senator murray! Elaine Miles, an important American actor!

I was reading a Q & A issue of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's newsletter from October and was struck by this: no other nation has allowed a seditionist to run again for public office without punishment. Historians and political scientists, thoughts? Also, subscribe to her newsletter! With cash!

Schemes and scams eroding what America is all about—. Good description of trump and republican enablers

❤️❤️❤️

An important part of arresting the consolidation of authoritarianism is convincing corporations and institutions that Trump will eventually be out of power and at that point they’ll face consequences for their actions and by that standard this is a good sign

📌"I have typed before, and will until my last breath, that Black voters are America’s TRUE patriots, and the only voting bloc that overwhelmingly and consistently gets it right. How incredibly sad it must be to see white people elect bile who see white supremacy as a virtue, instead of a plague."

And don’t forget to read #kendzior #theyknew

Standing up to the wannabe dictator but only as long as it's not inconvenient for him

As Ted Cruz observed about Trump in 2016: "Whatever he does, he accuses everyone else of doing. The man cannot tell the truth." YouTube links to when most Republican politicians were still telling the truth about Trump, in 2016: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y6W... youtu.be/P43wDpKQxaM?...

Why isn’t this on replay loop everywhere? Or maybe it is, and it’s all so loopy we can’t keep track. #marcorubio #turncoats #traitors

snyder.substack.com/p/what-if-tr... Exactly so. Trump admires power, wants power, is himself Goliath. But that’s just one bible story. And we have other holy books. And trump wants nothing but money, power, and the prestige he assumes follows along. What am I missing here?

Sounds about right

“Just vote blue in 2026” won’t save us from American fascism. Both parties have been drifting to the right for years. Democrats and Republicans have aligned themselves with corporatocracy and oligarchy, respectively.

“The TN-7 race is a matter of life and death.” - @aftynbehn.bsky.social to @wkrnnews2.bsky.social

A gunman tried to silence my wife in an extreme act of political violence. Now, Trump has called for my execution because he didn’t like what I had to say. Gabby and I know, when others try to silence you, you must keep speaking out — and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Trump has been firing those who disagree with him, but here’s the thing: He can’t fire us. He can try to intimidate all he wants, but I’m not going to be bullied.

Yeah for mark kelley, a true patriot!

We all are behind you!

Excellent! Two levels: 1. Enlisted rank and file agree to support #constitution, to obey lawful #orders, AND obey those who rank above them, including the #president. 2. #Officers of any rank pledge to support, defend Constitution, but DO NOT promise to obey the president and officers above them.

Four years ago!!!

Good idea. Sending myself a txt about it

Sounds about right. Elon, you made us a good car, why do you have to be such a jerk!?

Hear hear! Roger wicker senator making sense!

substack.com/@joycemstron... Never forget this truth of what happened to #jamalkoshiggi Murdered by Saudis

Remembering this sweet boy today, who was shot and killed by cops within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in. It was a toy gun. He was 12. 11/22/2014. Let’s say his name. 😭 #TamirRice #BlackLivesMatter #Pinks #SheShed

open.substack.com/pub/grumpych... Very thoughtful discussion of why trump tolerates and even jokes around with mamdani— not a real threat to authoritarian power

I've never gotten over this. Ever. We marked the first year after his murder with a "play-in" event in Chicago. I had the idea for this and I have never forgotten him. You can see some of the photos from the event here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?v...
