I love Boston

This sounds like a threat

I sometimes think of how the robber barons of the past, awful as they were, (for egotistical, self interested reasons) left us a legacy of park, museums, and other institutions that many enjoy today. Today’s tech bros build bunkers, while striving to bankrupt and undermine all our institutions.

It’s always a special treat when I find these kinds of plants while in the woods.

Johnson would like you to know that he believes that assaulting one girlfriend, and getting a restraining order by a second girlfriend for threatening her, are not serious issues.

I’d like to ask Vance what services he’s performing where he’s getting paid 10s of thousands of dollars in cash, given to him in a paper bag, since he thinks this is a normal, regular occurrence.

It's wild, and nauseating, that this is becoming a talking point on the right

Once again, as I listen to to these clowns shouting that the Nobel Peace Prize should have gone to Trump, I am reminded of this passage from Tacitus: bsky.app/profile/seos...

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

My reaction to so much in the news these days goes back and forth between horror at the hatefulness of it all, to “WTF did I just read?!”

Well, this is weird and ominous

Jack would like everyone to know that anti-fascists have been around since the rise of fascism.

All this talk about Portland, I once saw a murder downtown.

Ok, I’ll bite. Who the fuck is Lee Greenwood?

C‘mon now. There was no shift in debate. It was always their plan to create some pretext to invoke the insurrection act. Fascism and a dictatorship were always the plan with these crooks.

I think it’s more than this. I think they see Trump’s 2024 win becoming permanent as their desired outcome. They want MAGA to remain in power. And they want to maintain their privileged place in all this.

See…posts like this do not lead me to see NPR as a trustworthy news source in these times. Undermining our Constitution, and sending troops into cities, citing fictional crimewaves as pretext, is not fucking “bucking tradition”.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

I took a walk

Do the ska elders know Fishbone was just on KEXP? @brooklynmarie.bsky.social @mmasnick.bsky.social "You're not a Proud Boy, you're just a fuckboy drinking the Kool-Aid of a mad orange king."

This is legitimately unhinged

And this is why I turn off the news notifications on my phone.

Trying to get info on fires in a National Forest on the NSF website, and I get a message blaming “radical democrats“ for shutting down the govt. This is for a wilderness area where DOGE and the GOP have already fired all but one ranger

oh, so I’m not imagining it. I thought it was just me.

State terrorism

Once again, this is how fascism leaves a nation.

This is really something to watch and listen to. Also, Johnson is such a weak coward.

Another appropriate pairing of today’s events and @effinbirds.com

I‘d like to stop the doomscrolling, and plan for a weekend in the deep woods. But a climate change fueled forest fire is putting those plans into some doubt.

C’mon now

Not the most important thing right now, but…I’m annoyed that trying to get updated information on fires in the Cascades keeps bringing me Facebook links. It was easier to get updated information a decade ago.

This is where we are. Say it plain. He's trying to become a dictator. Turning the military against Americans who oppose him is a pretty sure sign, folks.

This was a whole discussion a while back on BlueSky that I find myself thinking about today.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Pete Hegseth: only clean-shaven men can win wars U.S. Grant:

War is peace Ignorance is strength

Seen while traveling: I wonder how many towns Trump is going to have to send troops into if calling ICE fascists is considered incitement to violence.

Their feelings are very delicate

"Whoever forbids Antifa, wants fascism! Make Antifa Great Again!" - Bayern Munich fans on Friday, right behind the goal, so guaranteed to be in the broadcast worldwide.

Seeing one post of an article saying right wing terrorism has decreased, next to another post show ICE terrorizing a neighborhood. Right wing terrorism hasn’t decreased. It’s now just the official policy of our government. Abolish ICE

We keep hearing from Republicans that it's wrong to criticize ICE, that it puts them in danger to call them fascists. Fuck ICE

This is weird. And a little ominous. (There is a gift link in the comments below the post)

ICE kidnapped a 5 year old autistic girl to use her as bait in order to draw out her parents and arrest them.

These ICE agents should be ID’d, and shunned for life.

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

The deepening fascism of this government continues

“We can still stand up, and say no. So, stand up and say no”

Two things not mentioned in the article: 1. It was a police gun range. 2. The gun range was facing in the opposite direction. Doesn’t seem like they were paying close attention to safety protocols here
