When official armed forces from one state attack another, it's called 'civil war'.

No Kings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in. www.nokings.org

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials. I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

It’s the “workstations” part that’s so funny. Start checking the paperclips

Yep this.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Shameful. Evil.

Today marks yet another day that Speaker Mike Johnson has denied Adelita Grijalva her right to govern. She won her special election on Sept 23rd but has yet to be sworn in. Why? Because she will become the 218th vote needed to discharge the release of the Epstein files. Say her name.

Why won't you show it, @cnn.com ? (Content creators: @ these villains when you call them out. At least # them. Their social media teams pay attention.)

It has been for some time.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t. And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks. Did I get that right?

A bit baffling, as I understand it.

Remember, there ARE better services than Spotify.

Yep that.

I just wandered into the Bsky burn ward, apparently.

Oh yay, #Kickstarter is treating its workers like garbage yet again. I wish the workers great success in their strike!

@rufflejax.bsky.social - saw this, thought you might appreciate it (if you haven't got one already).

Why, it's like The Regime is lying or something.

Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper raised $14.5 million during the first 65 days of his new Senate campaign — a record-breaking total for a Senate challenger in their first fundraising quarter in one of the most competitive races of 2026.

We really will not. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Good ol' ICEstappo

Sooooo, parents can beat kids, deny kids food & medical care, and torture (including institutionalization of) kids for not being a GD Build-A-Bear. They can even have UNnecessary medical procedures done to their kids. "Parents Rights" sure sound a lot like slaveholders rights to me, at this point.

Boosting

'as soon as she wants' is the same time her (ha ha) peers were sworn in.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Not mentioned in OP: Mike Johnson HAS sworn in other newly-elected, MAGA, officials in the same time period.

Funny how it's 'parents' rights' when it's subjecting children to torture as religious indoctrination or refusing vaccines because they did their own research. But it's "protecting children" when restricting reproductive or gender care.

Conversion 'therapy' would be called kidnapping and torture under ANY other circumstances. It SHOULD always be called that, hard stop.

The Supreme Court appears ready to side with Trump in bringing back “gay conversion therapy.” This practice involves physically abusing teenagers to try to turn them heterosexual, including with electric shocks and chemically-induced nausea.

This is interesting indeed.

Everyone deserves healthcare. Everyone deserves housing. Everyone deserves education. Everyone deserves food & clean water. This should not be controversial. They’re basic human rights. We could provide them to everyone if we abolished the billionaire class and taxed corporations properly.

DaFUQ, @cnn.com ? We already knew you were a bunch of quislings and shills for The Regime but dang that's crap journalism.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him. (…because he literally incited an insurrection)

@reuters.com and @apnews.com aren't doing much better. They all complied in advance, and OH LOOK it did them less-than-zero good. Bullies cannot be placated.

In the last few weeks we’ve watched ICE: Pepper spray the Portland frog Tear gas members of Chicago PD Zip tie children Grab Chicagoans from their beds in dead of the night Open fire on a civilian in her car Yet they say immigrants are the threat. Protesters are the threat. We know better.

That is correct. For instance, MS-13 is an AMERICAN gang. It was founded in LOS ANGELES. So, how did it get a foothold in Central America? I’m glad you asked. We deported them.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

So very the same poor intern.

This.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Excellent. Make people like @golden.house.gov live with the consequences of their actions. www.cnn.com/2025/10/06/p...

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this is your fault.

Yeah, well, most "liberal centrists" are older white dudes who never ate cereal for dinner growing up. IMO the lot of them are really just apologists of one flavour or other, so this surprises me not at all. *Rolls up sleeves* Time to do a little more about it.

Christ follower enters the chat

Instead of fancy (and largely inaccurate) mental health labels, can we start calling members of The Regime "evil"? I really feel like we're way too gentle with some words. Like, if MSM had called Trump "an evil-minded liar" instead of saying he speaks boldy, MAYBE things would be different.

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

Sooooo I'm having trouble finding an answer to this on my phone, which doesn't always play well with mobile websites. Last I heard, there was no such thing as a perma-ban on @bsky.app Today I'm seeing a number of #blacksky users say a community member was perma-banned. When did that change?

Absolutely be pedantic. She's not qualified, and no amount of resume-padding will change that.

It's #Mornday. When your bar tab reaches its limit, look for alternatives. #StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #StarTrekDS9

Is the irony of the president’s friend buying something called “the free press” and immediately installing a government truth compliance officer lost on everybody?
