Teenage “dating” is seriously concerning. First, the trend is to “share your location” almost immediately. Next, some kids are having relationships almost entirely based around “Snapchat,” where the other person can see all your phone activity. Relationships are devolving into toxic surveillance

How to Survival a Constitutional Crisis! It’s no longer metaphorical. We are teetering on the edge: federal troops, once unimaginable on our streets, are now press‑ganged into cities, cloaked in authority over local law & order. The world feels truly, terrifyingly insane & the time to FIGHT is now!

Today I went to the dollar store to pick up a few things & they were SO much higher I asked the guy working (I see him all the time) “I didn’t vote for this, did you?” Apparently the woman behind me said, “She better watch what she says around here or she’s going to get hurt.” Fuck this place.

NEW: An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public. By Lexi Churchill and @emsimani.bsky.social

@zkahn.bsky.social Would you be interested in doing a deep dive on campaign donors in Missouri? Because our GOP Governor just threw out a ballot initiative making employee sick leave mandatory which was passed by voters claiming that “outside money” invalidated our votes. Curious about his donors.

Tariffs are here—a $7 basic plastic shower curtain liner went from $7 to $12.50 at the dollar store. We are letting crops die on the vine, raising costs on every necessity while stripping away health care & our safety net. Why does the GOP hate America?

Hello Mueller, She Wrote, I’m Zach, a high school journalist. I just published an exclusive investigation into how 193 Trump donors funneled $2M through Guam, raising quid pro quo and campaign finance concerns. Would be grateful if you gave it a look or shared it: open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...

Finally got a chance to watch the @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social routine about Trump and Epstein that came out a few days ago. I am blown away that he managed to put together a full hour of stand-up about breaking news and it's somehow polished and funny as hell. Give it a watch and share it.

One of the most under reported stories in the legacy media is how many states the RNC and DOJ are suing right now to access their voter rolls. It is a frontal assault on democracy that Democracy Docket covers every day, while legacy media both-sides Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Watch out world. One angry hillbilly on the loose. I even scare myself some times.

To anyone who needs a lift today. I see you. youtu.be/LDffmI0ncfo?...

Surely losing NPR and PBS will wake some of the more “optimistic folks” up? 😩

When the only shows that resonate are labeled “dark” and are about Nazi Germany… Check out “Filip” on Netflix

Try and make it through this. Really watch. youtube.com/shorts/tEVFP...

Why are there no videos of ICE deporting MS-13? We only heard about that gang everyday during the campaigns yet all we see are masked man in full war body armor throwing 13 year olds around inside court and grabbing babies from mothers on the street?

The pit in my stomach will not go away. Ontological shock that this is happening here and a lot of people seem okay with it. How?

With passage of the Big Bill, it is worth noting that this is the largest rollback in health coverage in history. To date since WWII, and since the passsge of Medicare, Medicaid and ACA generally all legislation EXPANDED coverage, but this is the largest RETRACTION in health insurance coverage ever

In 2025, the United States has the highest number of incarcerated people than any other country. We are among the top five countries with the highest # of incarcerated individuals per 100k of the population: 1. El Salvador 2. Cuba 3. Rwanda 4.Turkmenistan 5. United States

BREAKING: Iran fires missiles towards U.S. base in Qatar

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons: "If you look before January 20, and even after January 20, the men & women of ICE did not have to have masks on their face. Me personally, I don't want those officers having to wear masks bc it's hot, it's dangerous. But ICE agents are being doxxed at a horrible rate"

The U.S. regime’s brutality waged upon its people rivals the most oppressive dictatorships. The ineptitude in executing the regime’s objectives is equally astounding. We’ve lost the moral high ground & are intellectually inferior. How ridiculous to behave like “we know best” on world events.

Trump really wants this. Please be safe. youtube.com/watch?v=9f13...

We have a state of emergency innMissouri issued before a “so-called” emergency has even happened??? Look for all red states to do same 😡https://fox4kc.com/news/missouri-governor-mike-kehoe-activates-national-guard-declares-state-of-emergency/

Umm…My best friend took her grandson to an amusement park today and this guy casually told her that Trump was going to erase people like her. WTF is even happening. Then she left and tried to find some semblance of safety with a nice older gentleman but did not find it! This is why I stay home!

So I mentioned in comments somewhere that my son is job hunting. Guess what? Employers are asking on applications if the applicants are Hispanic now. Isn’t that like highly illegal? It’s awful I know that much!

Can humor help solve our climate crisis? David Cross sure as fuck hopes so.

ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

Predicting our entire country will soon look like a dystopian hellscape with the turtle-like federal response to federal disasters. Thank you Trump! Making America’s Garbage Acceptable www.ky3.com/2025/05/19/h...

Stream 2073 on Max Difficult to watch. Important. Our current trajectory is this nightmare. Disrupt, reverse, resist.

Thank you Senator Booker! ♥️♥️♥️ youtube.com/live/N5NfmuI...

this period after the 2024 election is like the longest ticking time bomb ever

We are failing as a nation when we have school shootings/gun violence on a regular basis and continue to do nothing. The keen revelation is our society sold its soul for guns and more guns and do not value our youth. #itstheguns

Democratic leaders are surely behind the scenes, beyond busy using every tool available to save democracy before our nation is plunged into darkness, right?

Trump nominated Billy Long to head up the IRS. He’s from my hometown. So this guy on Reddit saved this little nugget from Long’s campaign in 2010. He had been saving it for 14 yrs 🤣 So petty & hilarious. Folks, meet your next IRS Commissioner: bus-plunge.blogspot.com/2010/11/bill...

I mean come the fuck on already

Apalachicola River on the Pan Handle—the “Redneck Riviera.” Old Florida airboat excursion with lots of birds, ‘gators and oysters. Taken with my iphone.

"Before we discuss raising taxes on the poor & middle class, adding $9 trillion to the deficit, taking health insurance away from 40 million Americans, defending treason and swearing in a felon and rapist, let's begin with a prayer."

Another Blue Sky bonus: no more posts from Marjorie Greene ranting about “Marshall law.” In fact, I have yet to see a single martial law mistake at all. 🥂 Cheers to democracy and smart people!

7. Finally -- the Korean people are amazing. Congratulations to the way they stood up for democracy, the rule of law, and common decency. We could use a little of that spirit here in the U.S.
