Am I a terrible person because I wish there was a bsky World Cup filter so I wouldn’t have to read everyone’s color commentary on something I do not care one whit about?

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

As part of the never-ending saga of those who put their stock in Trump always getting screwed in the end. How's it going fellas?

I’m stealing bangers today

No one is more culpable for the dangers we face than this man

When you’ve lost the McKenzie bros…

Democrats should demand a clawback of ICE's remaining OBBB money before agreeing to supplemental Pentagon funding.

Given that, with no real threat to US interests, Israel and Saudi Arabia were able to coerce this administration into starting a war with Iran. When the administration starts desperately looking for a face saving resolution to a chaotic failure, what will price will they be able to extract?

Spain's Deputy PM Yolanda Díaz: “I have left X. That network is a place of hate. We are not vassals of Elon Musk or Trump.”

I continue to believe that the rush to capitulation by the wealthy elites and the preponderance of secret evidence that the wealthy elites spent their leisure time at Club Pedophilia is not a coincidence.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

OFFS, will someone explain to me what the deal is with all these ‘=‘ in Epstein emails?

I’m sorry, but even Trump can’t make me a fan of Don Lemon. Nope

Leon Black and Leslie Wexner are still alive. They still haven't answered why they gave Epstein hundreds of millions of dollars for "consultation" and advice.

So this is it, right? All the richest men in the world were molesting underage girls and rather than admit it, they’ve decided to burn down liberal democracy and live on their private islands. It all makes sense now.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social as my senators. Are you listening? You can’t be complicit. You must deny them funding.

Cities and states like Minneapolis and Minnesota are in an asymmetric fight and must respond with asymmetric tactics. When outnumbered and outgunned, leverage unique strengths and exploit the their weaknesses. - Lodging - Transport - Fuel - Food Their logistical tail is their vulnerability.

Temporary power, permanent consequences 💥

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Principles only matter when they're hard to keep.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

The FIFA Peace Prize used to mean something

It's pretty fucking fearless to go back and do your goddamn oversight visit where they last framed you for assault.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

None of the people in the boats the US has illegally bombed are "in the fight" because the US is not at war, no matter how much the Trump regime insists

There’s also something especially crazy-making about SCOTUS’s “eagerness to playact a district court” (Kagan) in a *shadow docket* decision that doesn’t really engage with the facts at all. The gap between the professionalism of the district courts and SCOTUS’s arbitrariness couldn’t be more obvious

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith: “In short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’” open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

no different to a U boat sinking a ship then surfacing to machine gun survivors in the water no different

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.* The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Take a good look at yourselves my fellow libtard babies. This is what power feels like.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.
