When all of this stuff (Epstein, Trump, ICE, etc) goes to trial I better not hear ANYONE talking about how to get out of jury duty

I beg you to find at least one news source that is not US based & one that is independent to use as a balance for all the chaos put out by US media.

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

I’m not saying they are lying, but I’m struck by how quickly people believe law enforcement that‘s become more and more compromised. Remember, when they claimed Kirk’s killer was trans? 🙃

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations? Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

Oh look! Another defection. No, we will not be participating in Laura Loomer's redemption story. She must carry the shame of her behavior.

Bondi on the Epstein investigations that Trump demanded: "We're not gonna say anything else on that because now it is a pending investigation in SDNY"

Most of my IRL friends are in FB only, so I am there. But MY GODS, the constant, obvious AI slop is grating on my every nerve lately. It's no wonder we're such a mess as a society, people have zero critical thinking & discernment skills.

Especially that last part.

Look, I hate the orange m.f. too, but I think it's an error to focus too much on *him* in those files. Despite currently being in a position of power, I think he's probably "small fish" in that disgusting pond of depravity. Just an opinion. Take them ALL down & DESTROY them.

Holy shit (unholy, actually)

Pretty sure he's banking on the "15 year olds aren't 5 year olds" rationalization. I've seen that a LOT over the years. Guess what...we actually care about 15 year old children too.

This hooded crow flew in to watch us having cappuccino at a floating hostel along the Danube in Belgrade, Serbia. #Travel #WitchSky #Druid #Birds

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him. 👏👏👏

There are four leaks to plug for Trump: the survivors, Ghislaine Maxwell, the Epstein Estate, and the 1000+ FBI and DoJ employees he locked in a building and forced to remove his name from the files. Good luck, asshole.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Jackson is trying to pull off a win here for SNAP. Just hold on and let her do her work. She’s been a consistent ally and she’s earned our trust. She knows what she’s about.

Playing around with coffee stains. I'm not loving the graphite look on the coffee. Next time I think I'll use colored pencils. Anyway, this is a fun way to break creative blocks. Should I finish this spread with graphite or switch now? #art #sketchbooks

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

my god, what a paragraph (from tonight's @hcrichardson.bsky.social)

This is not sustainable. Whatever the fuck is happening in the White House cannot go on for much longer. I don’t say that as a moral proclamation. But rather, as a matter of physics. Shit is about to get very real, and this is very scary, quite frankly.

Ok... this is better

Opens BlueSky for the first time in a few days. Cringes. Feels heart rate increase, breath shorten, muscles tense. Closes BS after 4 posts. Longer break required.

“Incredibly Damaging:” The Fallout From Trump’s January 6 Pardons Freeing of violent convicts and seditionists carries grim consequences, experts warn “This is deterrence thrown out and politically motivated violence being countenanced.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202... (as warned 9 months ago)

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

All these people turning out for No Kings make me proud to be an American.

Interesting to not care about the actions & demands of millions of their constituents. What a prefect way to announce a monarchy. Sounds a bit like, "let them eat cake."

Trump should be scared of this. Trump should be very nervous about millions of people cheering for the end of his unconstitutional, authoritarian power grab

"no kings protest are violent" and it's actually someone wearing a rubber chicken costume leading a dance party outside the US capitol building

Chicago - no kings

Do you know what a group of frogs is called? AN ARMY

“I can’t block bad actors, I need to stay informed” Nah unless you’re researching them for the public good (reporter, sociologist, etc.) I promise you can just assume that they’re trolling with the intention of making you so upset you don’t have any energy to resist them. Protect your peace.

How long will it be before there’s an executive order trying to ban Bluesky’s nuclear block? [keep it up y’all, protect your peace]

‘Tis the season to carve blessings into sweet potatoes… then bake and eat them!

Excellent block list!

Went to block them & discovered they were already on my blocked list! 🤣

10 years. Sigh.

Mike Johnson calls this "the most threatening thing he's seen yet."

Congressional Republicans have abandoned their responsibility.
