Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

@alexhirsh.bsky.social would love if you would come back to bluesky ❤️

Heyo, Chicago pals: Quick note that the executive vice president of the Bob Loquercio Auto Group is vociferously defending the murder of Alex Pretti. The auto group has 16 locations in and around Chicago, listed below. Please take your business elsewhere. www.blautogroup.com/locations/in...

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS (NYT): Trump Regime DOJ Won't Investigate Execution of Alex Pretti, Just As It Ignored the Execution of Renee Good Two U.S. citizens with no criminal records, executed by Trump agents without cause. Zero investigation. Trump has violated his Oath of Office and must be impeached.

And those local newspapers that Postmedia gobbled up were largely concentrated in the west, where US Republicans are currently interfering in Alberta politics, trying to foment separatism.

Pro tip: If you are attending a rally or action, wear a N95 mask & bring extras to give to others. High quality masks can serve triple-duty: they prevent you and others from getting sick from airborne viruses, they keep your face warm in the freezing cold, & they can protect against surveillance.

If Canadians, travelling domestically, want to use the "good" security line at the airport, they need a NEXUS card, even if they aren't going to the US. And they need the blessing of Donald Trump's Homeland Security apparatus to get one. I'm calling on Canada to end this absurdity. #Canada #NEXUS

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

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."

The University of New South Wales (UNSW) has received $4.7 million from the Medical Research Future Fund to study long COVID. Three Sydney-based projects will focus on: • Developing new diagnostic tools • Improving monitoring of long COVID • Testing therapies to enhance care and support

ICE got plenty of money when Chuck Schumer folded and now they're saying fuck you. What a shock. If anyone continues to fund the government at the end of the month they are Republican.

"I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

It's still the case that if your MS Office subscription comes up for renewal, you can start the cancellation process and you will get the offer to switch to a cheaper version **without Co-Pilot**.

Students lament the "18th birthday" of the promised #UBC #SkyTrain extension. First announced by Premier Gordon Campbell in 2008. "If the UBC SkyTrain were a person, it'd be old enough to start university." #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/ub...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

An old friend called asking about precautions and after providing what advice I could I asked “why now?” and my old friend explained that with the premiums on his health insurance rising he just can’t afford (he just knows he can’t afford) to get sick again.

The Internet knows the truth: Type Nazis.us into your browser window and it takes you to the correct website: DHS.

Hey @samreich.bsky.social MarzGurl is amazing and would be an excellent addition to @dropout.tv 's stellar CC/subtitling team if you're looking ❤️

The waste fraud and abuse is coming from inside the house.

btw bluesky is having its biggest month in a while by the math

The EPA says that it will now ignore health benefits and lives saved, and instead only factor in business costs when making new rules on air pollution limits. This is so reckless and make us all sicker.

Planetary Alignment xkcd.com/3192/

Fact check: The flu, RSV and COVID are spread primarily through the air. Ventilation, masking and staying home when sick matter much more than Clorox wipes. It seems hopeless when we have Insta 'health influencers' with 1M+ followers spreading droplet dogma

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

important message to all bluesky users

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

In a nutshell.

I'm old enough to remember when smoking around others was socially acceptable, in restaurants, bars, workplaces etc. Secondhand smoke was everywhere. We changed norms once we accepted that shared air = shared risk. Airborne viruses are no different

With Canada's ER problem that is now in the global public eye, we can't afford to be flippant about preventable infectious diseases like COVID & influenza, because they contribute to surging capacity in ER. Airborne mitigations now

Subplots: - evidence doesn’t reach police because it’s sent as the boat enters an area with no reception and blanc doesn’t know about no wifi - someone’s alibi about having a Phillips soda falls apart because blanc finds out none of the vending machines work - someone stays below deck to nap

We need those who claim to be “left” to stop punching down on the disabled, covid cautious and immune compromised. Masking is resistance. It’s community care. The ruling class wants you sick and weak so you won’t fight back. Healthcare is being gutted. There’s never been a better time to mask

Fine, whatever, this random cat is your new god of the winter solstice

Keeping a bat next to your bed at night won't keep you safe. Sleep in a crypt with thousands of bats. Your adversaries won't want to tangle with a whole swarm of angry little draculas.

Safety first! From pandemic to apocalypse, a high quality mask will protect you and your loved ones, no matter what transpires. Your future matters!

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

This is good news, if you need some today

the OneBC staffers are letting it all hang out on the fun site

BC folks: Ahhhh Abbotsford floods ALL the time what gives?? Me: It was called Sema:th Lake. Because the Sema:th lived there and told you it flooded every year, but you drained the lake to drive them off their land and to expose fertile farmland, then built a city WHERE THE LAKE SHOULD GO

I’m thrilled that Dick Van Dyke made it to 100 years old, and I also find it hilarious that he’s apparently too old to play with LEGO. Him specifically.😆

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

B.C. gov providing flood update: • approx 450 properties on evac orders, 1700 evac alert • 68 farms registered under evac order, 98 evac alert • floodwaters made it into barns last night • lost "couple" poultry barns last night • additional birds, hogs, cows being relocated

Let's see if any politicians post about International Day of Persons with Disabilities & mentions the long COVID crisis. I'll wait

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

This afternoon, I informed the Prime Minister of my decision to resign as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec. You can find my full statement below.

I refuse to believe that on ALF's Own Bluesky I am the first person to widely note what the upside-down pineapple means, I was here in The Before Times, when the whole damn site was basically a deeply horny polycule, WE ALL KNEW OKAY
