Baby Finley (2 years ago today) says thank you for the sweatshirt, and while it does help it is still too cold and he would like to go back inside and cuddle. Please and thank you. #DogsOfBluesky

She warned us during the immunity arguments. And John Roberts took the predetermined opinion for himself.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th? Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

With mass-firings reducing San Francisco's 100 Montgomery St. immigration court to just a handful of judges, it is now slated to close by year's end, Mission Local has learned. missionlocal.org/2026/01/s-f-...

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Apparently due to a recessive gene, there are long/fluffy haired pit bulls. I did not know that. #pitbull #dog

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Wars won’t cover this up.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

The attacks of the Damascus government against the mainly kurdish inhabited neighbourhoods Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashfrafieh in Aleppo are continuing. Untill now 3 civilians were killed and at least 11 wounded.

In occupied East Jerusalem, over 130 Palestinians from 26 families face imminent eviction from their homes in the neighborhood of Silwan, after Israel’s Supreme Court denied their final chance to appeal their evictions.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home. We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss. We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Wrote 502 words on MMM tonight.

He summoned the mob, then cleared their names.

Bernie Sanders: "Trump said America First. Last I heard 60% of the people in this country are living paycheck-to-paycheck, people can't afford housing or groceries, our healthcare system is collapsing. Maybe instead of running Venezuela, he might try to do a better job running the USA."

He is a Jewish Doctor who was in Gaza 5 years ago, he said “at that time, Israel was doing the same thing it’s doing now, but it was a slow genocide…” Folks, cops are trying to prevent these medical professionals from speaking; this is Trump’s America

Rep Adam Smith, highest ranking Dem on Armed Services Committee: The consultants keep telling me to talk about kitchen-table issues, but the rule of law is being utterly destroyed in America by Donald Trump.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Jeffries: "The American people are supposed to believe that this whole situation that has unfolded in Venezuela has anything to do with a counter-narcotics operation? Get lost."

Workers in King City CA are harvesting broccoli. They earn piece rate so try to go as fast as they can so they could earn more money. However this field has been harvested before and this is the last pass. It is hard to harvest enough to make more than minimum wage. #WeFeedYou

NEVER forget Felon47’s Insurrection !

Jeffries: "This is a law enforcement operation that involved an elite unit of the military, it involved direct military strikes in Venezuela. And we're supposed to believe this was a law enforcement action? Make it make sense. It was military action without explicit approval by Congress."

PLATNER: “The illegal attack on Venezuela is not foreign policy — it’s gangsterism on an international scale.”

1/ ⚠️ Jan 5 — another day of heavy losses for the Russian army. According to official Ukrainian estimates: 990 Russian soldiers killed or wounded in just 24 hours. These are not abstract numbers. This is the human cost of a war of aggression and genocide.

Nice that other countries do actual "reporting..." www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/7f4dbda...

My weekly email to my Congressman…

How does an entire administration not understand this basic reality? Venezuelan oil is not profitable. Heavy crude takes years to extract profitably. It requires massive upfront investment, specialized infrastructure, refineries configured for heavy oil, long timelines, and political stability. 1/2

🇷🇺🇺🇦 “Putin now controls 20% of Ukraine, up just 1% in two years. Russia advances at huge cost and, with U.S. and European support, can never conquer Ukraine,” — John Keane, former Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, 1999–2003

DTE is building a data center in the Detroit suburbs that will tie up resources. When asked to share contract details, DTE and it's clients broke the law and redacted most of the it.

Two of my poems read in German in Manuscripte’s 250’th jubilee issue, “30 Jahre Srebrenica”, launched at the Literature House of Graz, Austria. Special thanx to Zuzana Finger for a surgically precise traslation which had even captured the inner rythm of the Albanian original: if you know, you know!

Yesterday, in Gaza. When might we expect you, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social, to publicly admit your talk of a "ceasefire" was a sham and announce steps you're taking to meet your obligations under int'l law to stop Israel? When Hell freezes over? Do I have that right? #GazaGenocide

It's January, named for the 2-faced god Janus, noted in ancient Rome as a time for parties & gifts to bring in the new year, coming along right when people had more or less recovered from Saturnalia. How did medieval people view January? cdalebrittain.blogspot.com/2015/01/janu...

Chris Murphy: "Over and over again we have seen these warmongering neocons, many of which have influence in this White House, cheerlead us into war under the guise of removing a very bad man. That ends up getting a lot of Americans killed."

Good morning, BlueSky. It's hard to feel like posting much right now, but here is a shot from the Great Falls National Park (MD side) for #stunday #greatfalls #md #water #potomac #river #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

There's weather and then there's genocide. #GazaGenocide‌

There seems to be doubt among experts whether the “Cartel of the Suns” mentioned in the Maduro indictment actually exists: www.bbc.com/news/article...

open.substack.com/pub/chrished... Violence does not generate peace. It generates violence. The immolation of international and humanitarian law, as the U.S. and Israel have done in Gaza, and as took place in Caracas, generates a world without laws, a world of failed states,
