"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.

The USA now has CONCENTRATION CAMPS The USA is torturing, starving, and killing adults and CHILDREN in these CONCENTRATION CAMPS Sick Disgusting Abhorrent WHAT HAPPENED TO NEVER AGAIN

Trump and RFK Jr are working to destroy Moderna, destroy vaccines, and put us all at more risk. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Clergy friends, your moral voice matters so, so SO much in this moment. In the public square. Pushing your electeds. With congregants. At actions. Teaching the truths of your tradition & using the authority of your office. & calling in all that damn social capital. What ELSE is it FOR

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government. But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

@deardara.bsky.social is awfully good. deardara.com/so/adPmSCLoz...

Open letter to our Senators: Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow. We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

Friday, Jan 30—National Shutdown General Strike! No Work. No School. No Shopping. Stop Funding ICE. Migrating more than 3,000 miles from the northeastern U.S. to southern Mexico, the monarch butterfly has become a powerful symbol of the immigrant rights movement. nationalshutdown.org

One of the mind-boggling aspects of Tom Homan taking a $50,000 bribe to steer federal contracts and still having a job rather than being in jail is how small-mindedly low-rent Homan was. Homan can steer billions. Taking a bribe of 0.000001% is pathetic. Still worth prosecuting him, obvs.

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

ICE needs to be DISMANTLED NOW. Unconditionally. Not “Reigned In” (Sorry Tina Smith), not Reformed. ICE is an agency that is operating outside the law and murdering people. ICE is not redeemable. Alex & Renee deserve Justice. END ICE.

"Today we remember that freedom is not free. We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it. May we never forget and always remember our brothers and sisters who have served so that we may enjoy the gift of freedom." [1/2]

A clear, important and moral statement about the authoritarian move in US politics from one of the best voices within the niche hobby that I love. youtu.be/FwWjbq4tm3o?...

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence. This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.

A fantasy: I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the big blue ball has figured out we are not going to the right place

A significant percentage of BlueSky makes more sense today if you read this whole thread.

Shut ICE down, remove the leadership, break DHS apart, and investigate their crimes.

I don't want to go to war with Minnesota.

I don't want to go to war with Europe.

Trump: "Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price." Stopped clock and all.

"Don’t let anyone make you feel stupid for demanding justice. Don’t let anyone tell you we can’t have accountability. If someone in power tells you that, tell them to resign so someone who will stand up for the people can take their place."

Trump pointed a violent gang of thugs at Congress on Jan 6. Now he has done the same to all of us. Congress had their own police force to protect them. We don't. Congress had the ability to take away Trump's power with a simple vote. We don't. What we have is our voice and our morals. Use them.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

Have they still not announced the FIFA Chemistry Prize?

I don't see what could go wrong with the US going to war with Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Iran, Yemen, Mexico, Canada, Greenland, Denmark, and all of NATO simultaneously, while also pissing off Russia, China, and all of OPEC. But maybe withdraw troops from Minnesota, California, and Illinois?

The irony is overwhelming.

Abolish ICE. Prosecute murderers. Impeach this entire criminal administration. Apologize to the world. Seize the assets of those who corruptly profited from this nightmare. Make amends where possible. Build a better society. Breathe. I can't breathe.

Traveling? Be aware that US Customs might demand to see what’s on your phone upon entry. Here’s some advice on how to handle the problem. GIFT ARTICLE

I honestly thought the next big war for oil would be someone invading a country with oil reserves to stop the drilling and reduce climate change. Instead Trump wants to force Venezuela to vastly increase oil drilling and accelerate the planet's destruction, because we are led by psychpaths.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

All those hours-long meetings with Putin recently that were supposedly about Ukraine but got nowhere? Those were actually about preparing for our invasion and occupation of Venezuela. The US is Putin's biggest client state, bought and now paid for.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

I completely feel this

Getting out in front of this now, but any federal judge that doesn’t immediately dismiss this indictment, release Maduro (at least ostensibly) and begin contempt proceedings against the attorneys in front of him is complicit. These federal judges don’t have to be tools of the regime.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

I don't want to be at war with Venezuela.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Trump has been busy in 2025. Threatened Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Panama, Gaza. Bombed Nigeria, Iran, Yemen, Syria. Blockaded Venezuela. Blew up dozens of boats in Atlantic and Pacific. Extended Russian invasion of Ukraine. Functionally left NATO, and damaged every alliance. Impeach now. Please.

Every blacked-out redaction is Trump. Every single one.

Donald Trump interrupted national tv today to promise a million people (with guns!) two billion dollars he doesn’t have on a timeline he cannot meet to buy Christmas gifts he has personally fought to make less affordable

The surprising part of this is that the litany of terrible things, according to Trump, includes Russia invading Ukraine. If Trump admits that was terrible, then let's get Russia out of Ukraine.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO! This is awful.

BREAKING: WELL, WELL, WELL! Newly unearthed footage shows Pete Hegseth saying EXACTLY what the six Democrats said in their video that prompted Trump and Hegseth to hysterically smear them as traitors! You must refuse illegal orders.

This is Nazi rhetoric. I've read the history and talked to the survivors and visited the museums. I don't use the term lightly. It echoes genocidal language used against Jews for centuries. It represents an assault on Jewish values. Every Jewish org should condemn this. Loudly. Forcefully.

I guess Hegseth is too lazy to find different fall guys to take the blame for his own war crimes, so now he's pinning all 20 mass murders on this one admiral.
