Thank you, @judgeluttig.bsky.social My first try at this was ambiguous. I am guessing you never liked Trump, whether before Nov '16 or right after Nov '20, but that you presumed the Constitution would ultimately prevail until Jan 6th... 💯😠✊ judgeluttig327269.substack.com/i/188650391/...

🤯...💯😠✊ Rep. Tom Massie does the right thing again... ... but Trump sure is making it easy for Massie to shine! attn @repmcgovern.bsky.social: please support this...

Fact check: this is a real subtitle about the real world... Read the piece last night Will DJT announce the strike at the SOTU to try to preempt the criticism of it and everything else? Thank you, @dandrezner.bsky.social h/t @larryglickman.bsky.social et al. after first seeing it last night...

Another classic (unfortunately...) Thank you, @nytpitchbot.bsky.social 💯😠✊

💯😠✊ Perhaps the Ds should boycott entirely or with just the leadership attending? They could stand stoicly in silence if anything undeniably laudable is said (eg., to acknowledge someone worthy in the gallery) and then sitting with their arms folded when lies are being spoken. What would DJT do?

💯😠✊...🤯 kevinnecessary.substack.com/p/presidents... (most appropriate if belated...) h/t @kairyssdal.bsky.social and @knecessary.bsky.social

💯😠✊ Also this: "Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn..." h/t @jfallows.bsky.social

I am certainly not the first to post these, but sometimes repetition, like sunshine, is the best disinfectant... latenighter.com/news/late-sh... www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ... Thank you, @colbertlateshow.bsky.social* & @jamestalarico.bsky.social * and @stephencolbert.bsky.social for posterity.

radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-consti... 💯🧐✊ A detailed explainer of that which is fairly obvious... Thank you, @radleybalko.bsky.social

💯🧐... but it should not have been necessary! 😠✊

"For when u have some time. An heroic story of profiles in quiet courage. Librarians are American heroes." 💯 w/gratitude, @deedeel.bsky.social and @nellminow.bsky.social and #librarians at the ramparts of knowledge... 😠✊🇺🇸

💯😠✊🇺🇸 This majestral piece should be read and absorbed by *anyone* with an iota of respect for who are "We, The People" got to where we are... Or more precisely were headed until now and what it will take to get back on track. Thank you, @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

"You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it." Well said, @astrokatie.com 💯😠✊

Happy Valentine's Day

💯😠✊ Thank you, @jamiedupree.bsky.social, for your ongoing and intelligent attention to these and many other matters...

Outrageous and unprecedented... 💯 "Completely agree" per @kairyssdal.bsky.social Thank you, @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social 💯😠✊🇺🇸

The juxtaposition of these two stories in my feed are chilling reminders of the deliberate transformation of compassion into despair... ... and it is only amplified when combined with the obscure specter of AI-driven datacenters spreading everywhere.

💯😠✊... 😱 It's one thing to let prejudice and xenophobia take control but another to deliberately if (perhaps) ignorantly undermine the future for everyone that was already precarious for all. Thank you, @jeffsharlet.bsky.social et al. (and whomever shared this piece whether you or someone else...)

Having worked in mission-critical systems (C3ISR, SCADA, "smart transportation", etc.) for almost 50 years, this screenshot of two sequential blurbs in an AI-related newsletter makes retirement both attractive and chilling to consider. PS: no links include...

Well argued by @normornstein.bsky.social, of course, with fairness in mind... ... but left wondering: - Who will track ID compliance by *all* voters, including MAGA seniors and hotheads? - Will blue districts have any recourse *after* an election if errors of rejection and delay are proven?

🤯... Me thinks Elon has been infected with The Weave Virus... This may seem more concrete but is really just distracting technobabble... Really saying "I got nothin'..." Optimus = Optimal Muskiness

💯🧐✊... ... and so why does he not speak up now? A strong statement alone against the racist, xenophobic, and anti-immigrant horrors that are manifested in abuse of children and US citizens, the creation of concentration camps within our borders and irrational tariffs as international relations...

💯🧐✊ Thank you, @kevinmkruse.bsky.social et al. (the list is long)

💯... 🤔 Thank you, @craignewmark.bsky.social ... ... but the challenge now is how to get through to "The People" so that consensus can be built on intellectually honest debate. Would "Common Sense" or even "The Declaration of Independence" have any serious chance in our digital media maelstrom?

💯😠✊ "The developers who sold these warehouses to ICE deserve to be ostracised & shamed." per @melissjpeltier.bsky.social ... as should all elected GOP officials - local, state, and federal - who are allowing this travesty to take place in the 21st century in the USA!

💯😠...🧐✊ This is surprisingly upsetting given that I have not looked at it recently... ... then again, it was disturbing to see the CTBTO needed to put out a statement discouraging the belief that *anyone* had tested very low yield nuclear devices in 2020. see www.ctbto.org/resources/fo...

💯😠✊ Yeah. And there was a fuzzy child-oriented PSA during the Super Bowl promoting MAHA... Thank you, @jfallows.bsky.social

💯😠✊ Merci beaucoup, Guffo et @lemonde.fr h/t @larryglickman.bsky.social

💯😠🫵... ...pointing at all the DJT-led grifters, big and small. Thank you, @andrewcmccarthy.bsky.social* and @thetnholler.bsky.social * will follow for this series and for things seen in his feed (e.g., reporting that Rep. Frost was attacked by a DJT follower...) h/t @normornstein.bsky.social

🧐... 😓 Fascinating and moving while rather sad. Independent of the artworks lost, the neglect and dismantlement of the constitutionally mandated USPS is an emblematic tragedy... h/t @ringwiss.bsky.social

💯😠✊... ... with muted thanks to whomever shared this with us ordinary folks, the non-subscribers. The conclusion that defending Presidential immunity a priori may be the deepest cut and an irreparable tear in the Constitutional fabric of the republic is apt. Thank you, @jrakove.bsky.social

💯😠✊...🤔 This reminds one of a more poignant soliloquy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pu0... www.shmoop.com/quotes/grape... Thank you, www.now-what.us... Big H/T to @iammrbeat.bsky.social

💯🤔✊ "Without facts, there is no truth. Without truth, there is no trust. ..." ... and there can be no facts or trust without honest debate to combat one-sided polemics and uncontested propaganda. Thank you, @mariaressa.bsky.social and @thebulletin.org... h/t @mediaanddemocracy.bsky.social

💯🧐🫣🤣😠 Won't be using it, but thanks for giving us something to laugh at this morning... h/t @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

💯😠...🧐... Seems plausible when 'Patel refers to FBI agents who raided the Fulton County elections office as "my troops on the ground" ' ... and Chief Justice Roberts is committed to neutering VRA and unlikely to entertain this criticism after the fact. h/t @atrupar.com for the Patel quote...

💯😓...😠✊ "What a powerful ad"... per @jfallows.bsky.social ... Alas, total tragic irony as of today. Thank you, @pbump.com et al.

💯😠✊ "In October, a retiree emailed a DHS attorney to urge mercy for an asylum seeker. Then DHS subpoenaed his Google account and sent investigators to his home." Thank you, @jfallows.bsky.social... and even though irritating to learn, it's better to know about it...

💯😠✊ It is impossible to not respect him for this... ... and what say you, KY Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul?

💯😠✊ "Correct" per @jfallows.bsky.social (big h/t) Thank you, @grudgie.bsky.social

💯😠✊ Thank you, @jamestalarico.bsky.social

💯😠✊ Special 💯 to US District Judge Fred Biery... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Thank you, @mlobelart.bsky.social h/t @jrakove.bsky.social

💯😠✊ The second thing I read this morning... ... and here is the first: bsky.app/profile/jonc... Thank you, @iammrbeat.bsky.social... h/t @joncooper-us.bsky.social... ... and yes, thank you, @RepThomasMassie.bsky.social

this screenshot should be a whole fucking chapter in future history books.

And by "the theater," Tom Homan (paid by us) means the occupation (paid for by us) by state agents (armed & paid by us) of a state that annually sends $44 million more in taxes to DC than it gets back in federal support for the 5.8 million Americans who live there - or, as they might say, "us."

💯😠✊... perhaps. bsky.app/profile/ping... Senator King and my office also requested a joint meeting with DHS leadership. We received no response. (2/7)

💯😠✊ If only there was an organization dedicated to monitoring elections where manipulation is a concern? Thank you, @asharangappa.bsky.social... ... perhaps you and your FBI colleagues without their previously meaningful employment could use their forensic skills to weed out the lies to come?

💯😠✊ I don't even need to read it... ... but perhaps "surprise" should be in cynical quotes, too? Thank you, @nellminow.bsky.social

💯😠✊ Thank you, @tribelaw.bsky.social et al. Solidarity!
