Harmeet Dhillon destroyed DOJ's crown jewel: the Civil Rights Division. Eviscerated it of most of its lawyers. Turned it *against* the civil rights of trans people, voters, educators, everyone but white males. Encouraged law enforcement abuse. Any profile that doesn't center this is corrupt.

One of the things about the time Trump, et al ambushed Zelensky in the Oval Office is Trump kept telling him, "you don't have the cards." He truthied this about China today, what do I see here? Zelensky doesn't have "cards" & China "played it wrong"? A telling "game" metaphor.

I've fired a lot of small arms. I don't believe I've ever done so "ferociously." Like, what even does that look like? Is there a lot of flailing involved?

Kids, I know world class experts in their fields. People who really are the pivot point for whole departments, and their work makes the world better. Laura Loomer is not that. She's the opposite of all of that.

Don't forget racism. It's only aliens when ancient brown people built wonders.

We were watching it live in the classroom because the first schoolteacher to go to space was a big deal. It was a whole thing. It's almost like 99.9% of Dave W Plummer's claims can be ignored because he a idiot.

It's April and HUD still hasn't released the 2025 Annual Homeless Assessment Report. It's a mandatory report to Congress, and usually comes out in December. It's coming up on four months late. Kind of feel like this should be a story, as its tardiness seems deliberate.

@kweencassie.bsky.social I found your spirit sister.

oh no, just saw someone in the wild say that Trump dying is a distraction from the Epstein Files. Y'all.

Let's send Big Balls and the rest of Musk's code kiddies to Iran.

Y'all should watch @michaelburns.bsky.social's video on these "truth machine" companies and the awful weirdos behind them and enabling them.

Religion isn't just metaphysics. It's culture. It's fundamental to who its adherents are. So when a blatantly antisemitic leader of our pluralistic society mocks Muslims on a Christian holy day, that's an atrocity against all of our values. Nobody should mistake Trump's weak character as strength.

@kweencassie.bsky.social I can’t have candy, so this is what Tina got me for Easter. Suck it.

What if when it happens, we all just ignore it so that it doesn't trend? I think that would be a lot cooler and it's probably one of his nightmares to pass away unnoticed.

Chat, is this edging?

Adam Silver is getting turned on thinking how he can one-up this.

Trawling through this thread to block as many "tHeY voTeD foR ThIs" bots as possible. You may not like Veterans or their politics, but they served and you probably didn't.

People who think a total collapse of society would be a good thing, actually, think this because they don't understand that the "bake sale liberals" they're shitting on are far more likely to survive than they are because they understand community. Fucking accelerationists are never not dumb as shit

Dismissing hundreds of thousands of deaths by starvation and preventable diseases is Epstein Class shit. The Washington Post will forever be on my class enemies list.

Kind of ironic that Sheryl Crow, of all people, wrote the MAGA anthem over 30 years ago.

The existence of this line of betting guarantees that there are so-called Americans rooting for the death or capture of an American pilot.

Dear asshole, Please hang on until next January and then resume dying. Yr pal, America

I married into a Catholic family. I'm not 100%, but it's my understanding that Mass generally isn't held on Good Friday, so I'm not sure why Huffington Post is trying to make hay out of this Pentagon story.

"[HUD] remains committed to reforming the misguided 'Housing First' approach that for years funded the self-serving homeless industrial complex, rewarded activists, and ignored solutions." Housing First is the most efficient and effective homeless intervention ever devised. I've seen it firsthand.

Here's the Wired article on the BORSTAR and BORTAC criminals who terrorized and brutalized communities in Chicago and Minneapolis and committed crimes out in the open because they thought they would be anonymous. They're getting unmasked, now.

Holy shit, Wired got the goods on the Border Patrol and ICE masked freaks who committed assaults while wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves.

A functioning Congress would have already impeached this walking erectile dysfunction pill ad.

lol

These glazings are so ludicrous. Not even Donald Trump believes this about himself, and he's convinced he the bestest boy in the whole world.

I won't knowingly patronize a site that promotes Taylor Lorenz. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Pete Hegseth, an avowed white supremacist, didn't like being outed as an avowed white supremacist by Randy George, so he pushed him out.

Kat Abughazaleh reminds me so strongly of one of my favorite social worker colleagues from my days working in homeless services in Portland, OR. Most people who lost a longshot run for Congress with six times the votes than predicted would have been crushed for months. Kat's out here still serving.

Feel like Bondi is arriving at the find out stage. Democrats in Congress should haul her lame ass in to testify while she’s still pissed off at Trump.

Immigrants make us better and stronger. The Constitution works the way it does because of royalist assholes like Johnson. We are all disappointed with the Supreme Court justices for even daring to take up this case. I hope the GOP collectively develop anal fissures.

@mickeybiz.bsky.social, you never told me you were a batboy for the Yankees back in 1931. Are you an ageless vampire.

I want to know how the Daily Mail broke the Bryan Noem story. I want to know if this was kompromat, and more dire, if all the other unqualified weirdos in Trump's cabinet are serving under duress and by whom.

Watching Artemis II earlier compelled me to try and find this: my one great shot from when my mom pulled me out of school to go to an overpass by NASA Ames/Moffett Field to watch Endeavor fly by, atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, on its way to its final home in L.A. Unforgettable.

This is one of the coolest things on YouTube, right now. Live views from Artemis II's Orion spacecraft. I can't believe we get to see this.

He called it a ball, once he could talk again.

Pack it up, y'all. This post wins Bluesky for the day.

Couldn’t get the sound right, but here’s what Cape Canaveral rocket launches look from my backyard.

This is the kind of content we should be getting in our feeds.

The Artemis launch should be going up, soon. These big rockets really shake our house like it's going to knock it down. The power is tremendous, even from 10 miles away. Here's to hoping that today's safety issue wasn't an echo of prior presidential administrations and their political priorities....

The Daily Show’s Desi Lydic on Kristi Noem’s husband: “You know what? You live your truth, Brian. Oh, she can dress up and you can't? Fuck that.”

It's a disgrace that this Supreme Court took up a case claiming that the 14th Amendment doesn't say what it definitely does say. There's no getting around that. BUT.... It's really fun watching all the historians and legal scholars just YAMMING on the ambulance chasers arguing Trump's case.

Came outside the other day and saw my wife hanging out with this inveterate gossip.

PBS wins! Suck it Mr. Grump!

Spoiler alert: the president does not have any authority to cancel or modify our NATO treaty. He so much doesn't have that power, the the 2024 NDAA requires two-thirds Senate approval to withdraw from NATO. Kegsbreath is stupid, but is he really *this* stupid?
