Well, that was 'fun' lol. Red flags all over that 'conversation', and yes the scammer was using the identity of a well known author. Thankfully Bluesky shut them down asap once the report went in.

Broad shoulders, slender hips, but toned. He worked out, like many humans in his position, the gym and swimming were his go to pastimes, that and chasing women. #WIPSnips #amwriting

Trump wants to detain people like cattle in factory farms. Standing up to city officials & the companies that are selling warehouses to DHS is SO important. @maddow.bsky.social ran a story on how protests have stopped DHS from acquiring warehouses. #FundHealthcareOverICE bsky.app/profile/drdi...

BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been formally reported to the police over allegations he was involved in the trafficking of a woman to the UK for sex in 2010

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

French prosecutors have raided the Paris office of Twitter🔥🔥🔥🔥 Twitter & Grok are accused of spreading online SA images and deepfakes. A criminal offense. Elon Musk has been summoned for interviews in April The US might not do shit, but international countries will👏🏻 #SheShed

5,508 words today. Another high pain day but I took a nap again (with pain meds) and I was able to get the rest done. I'm hoping this wave of high pain days will end soon, but it's mostly in my legs/hips today which has allowed me to continue writing #amwriting #writerslife #writesky

Best Minnesota protest sign EVER. Let's fucking go.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Oven roasted almonds with a little olive oil and kosher salt.

Look I don't believe we should be handing out the death penalty lightly but I also don't believe ICE agents deserve to live after doing shit like this

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk must face justice. Same goes for Bill Clinton and everyone else named. #EpsteinCoverup #EpsteinTrumpFiles #EpsteinFiles

Whoa. This is from an FBI email with the subect "Re: Epstein - Cellmate Interview" Here are the summaries provided by the FBI agent.

The world feels like its on fire, but things like this is why im thankful to be born in this day and age with science advancing like it has been. These are heroes www.unilad.com/news/health/...

BREAKING: The DOJ just DELETED a document in the Epstein Files that contained allegations made against Donald Trump. But we saved it. 👇

Email from Jeffrey Epstein: "supposedly a girl said that donal= had sex with her at my house when she was underage.. =C2 . she said she has a witness. in 1993"

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012. Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.

Sam is doing better today and worse. He's tense and bruised from what he was doing when he blacked out, but his sense of humor has returned for the time being. He's got an appointment next week with his primary, and then they'll follow up with tests, meds, and treatment plans.

Not fake news.

The winds of public opinion are at our back. We will press this Administration until we see impartial investigations, the departure of federal forces, and an end to this campaign of retribution.

BREAKING: Judge dismisses murder, weapons charges against alleged UnitedHealth CEO killer Mangione reut.rs/45Fin56

The arrest of Don Lemon is yet another alarming attack by the Trump administration on Americans’ First Amendment rights. A free press is fundamental to democracy. This is unacceptable & we will continue to fight back. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Alright, they're letting him come home, but we have an answer - we think. More tests to follow with his primary, but it's looking like Emphysema/COPD

Stressed. Medical issue. Husband is in hospital, tests being run. He passed out from coughing.

This morning I wrote that DOJ’s ballot seizure in Georgia looks like a dry run for 2026. My advice and request: Sign up to Democracy Docket to stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The Justice Department has filed charges against the man who attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar. Anthony Kazmierczak faces a count alleging that he "forcibly assaulted, opposed, impeded, intimidated and officer and employee of the United States" while she was engaged in official duties.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A former Illinois deputy has been sentenced to 20 years for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, who called 911 for help.

Seems like a good video for his trial

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
