No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Trump is arresting journalists like Don Lemon for reporting on his crimes and attacking peaceful protestors like Alex Pretti, who are being murdered and beaten by his ICE agents. Most conservatives won’t say shit about that, but if you call him a fascist, they’ll have a fucking meltdown.

And the Wicklow Mountains apparently don't exist 🤔

Wow, look at the dimensions of those timbers 🌳💚

There is no “immigration crisis,” there is only a fascism crisis.

We had 50K people downtown yesterday, no ICE and zero incidents. ICE is the fucking problem.

Isn't this a telling aspiration? To want robots to look after your kids, so you can do stuff, rather than robots to do stuff, so you can spend time with your kids? The darkness inside these shrivelled men must be like a gaping unfillable void.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

We're in the fucking Upsidedown 😡🤬

Gosh, Svælget 2 the Danish cog is still circulating in the news. dendrochronological analysis by yours truly 🌳💍🏺#dendroarchaeology

The pump recovered from the Mary Rose, presented here as a thread. (Well, it has to be a thread, the blooming thing's over 8.22m (4.49 fathoms) long!)

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

She was murdered. A second by second video breakdown of the needless killing by an ICE agent of a woman attempting to leave. And then ICE agents prevented a physician from approaching her, to check her pulse. And then the responsible ICE agent departs the scene. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

End Trump’s regime for Good!

We’ve been warning for weeks that the Trump Administration’s dangerous, sensationalized operations are a threat to public safety.

"Your elected president is a megalomaniac dictator and it's your fucking responsibility to stop him "

The Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen to the United States: “The Kingdom of Denmark, and thus Greenland, is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance’s collective security guarantee.” I “strongly urge the United States to cease its threats.”

www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/7f62dca... I’ve lived through the cost of losing ground. I’ve seen the bodies, the destroyed homes, and I’ve been tortured by Russia like so many others. Land is never ‘just land.’ It’s people. Families. Lives shattered.

A Friendly Reminder That Your Unpowered SSDs Are Probably Losing Data

Gonna be in Belfast this weekend "Measuring Tree Rings - Mapping Journeys"

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Sunrise. Off to Eurodendro in Riga.

And Fox lies. It says "fully depreciated" you evil fucks!

Here is my contribution to #superseabirdsunday

Yes, alot of this rings true, unfortunately 👇🏻

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

It never ends. Last night three local Texas activists, along with a Democratic leader, gathered at the Texas Capitol to show support for Rep Nicole Collier. Collier who had refused to sign a GOP-mandated “permission slip” requiring a Department of Public Safety escort and instead staged an overnight

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 85 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or, today, a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Lots of things I like about freelancing, but having to explain that I don’t get a paycheque every month and therefore can’t do things for free is not one of them. Freelancers have no sick leave, no paid holidays and no benefits, and if we do something for free it means less time to earn in.
