In an official statement released by DHS, they deny this ever happened.

#Aurora Bluesky is just as fun in the late night hours as #baseball Bluesky. There is a shared vibe of glee and amazement (& shared disappointment, too). I just love humans being able to be carefree together around large parts of the world for a few shared moments. We have a right to more of this.

In all my years of living in Columbus, Ohio, I’ve never seen the Northern Lights like this — just amazed looking at a few moments when I happened to wake up and catch the #aurora with a clearing sky over our backyard.

Just before midnight, right in our Columbus, Ohio, backyard—and you could see the aurora borealis with your sleepy eyes. I’m usually distressed to wake up mid-sleep. Not tonight. #aurora

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Adelita Grijalva will take the oath tomorrow! Ro Khanna just told CNN he expects a House vote on releasing the Epstein files in the first week of December.

Mike Johnson refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 7 weeks after she won her election by about 40 points. Mitch McConnell refused to give Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, even a hearing for most of a year. Sen. Tommy Tuberville blocked all military nominations for 10 months /

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Happy Veterans Day to all the Veterans! Thank you so much for your service to this country!

It is great that the US Supreme Court has rejected the case to overturn same sex marriage. Now, if they'd overturn the ruling that says disabled people on benefits can't get married. Thanks so much.

What the fuck, bluesky substack.com/@sarahkendzi...

Holy shit. Bring back Sarah Kendzior immediately, she's one of the most urgently needed voices of our time.

Hey @support.bsky.team What is going on with Sarah Kendzior? Why was she suspended with no explanation? Are you doing this to lesser-known people that we’re never going to find out about?

By sending us $2,000 to give to billionaire insurance CEOs, and by tripling the interest we pay to mortgage companies while he continues to limit what we can write off, he's effectively looting the treasury and using us a mules to launder the stolen money; funneling it to the wealthy.

Disgusting. You engaged in political gamesmanship using them as pawns knowing they would get harmed and now you question *their* patriotism because some of them aren't wealthy like you and didn't want to work a high stress job for no pay?

The moment the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. It is a dirty shame how Republicans have tried to get rid of it, with no replacement in sight. Ever! I will always be grateful for President Obama. He truly cared about America.

The problem with AI (as currently being pushed within the tech industry) is the same as the tech industry as a whole: People (mostly white guys) want to be lauded for being excellent without actually doing the work to be excellent. They want to be seen as amazing while being mediocre.

So looking at the actual SF chronicle article, the only place this song is accruing notice is on Spotify, which is easily gamed by bots. If I were an AI proponent who desperately needed to boost the validity of my investment, this is exactly what I’d do.

House Republicans complaining about showing up for work after 3 months off.

hi, can you do me a favor? take a picture of your pet and then take a picture again while you sing to them thank you, this is for science here is my contribution

This is the greatest thread ever.

One of my favorites: ” I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.” Malcolm X

I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families. Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

as a kid I honestly thought that the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was about something that happened in the 1800s, dying in a maritime disaster on Lake Superior just does not seem like the kind of thing that can happen to people who heard Supertramp on the radio

A 1-year-old girl was pepper-sprayed through the window of a moving vehicle by ICE agents in Chicago. She was briefly hospitalized. The dad said a masked agent pointed pepper-spray at a Sam's parking lot when they were hit. #ProudBlue Video Credit: NowThisImpact/IG

This likely won’t be the last intelligence sharing suspension we see over this - based on the publicly available evidence, these strikes don’t come close to meeting the threshold for deadly force.

Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year. I don't plan to let anyone forget it.

When I was pregnant, I tried to eat well, stay healthy & protect myself from undue stress because the baby could be affected. For this reason, ICE had a long time policy not to detain pregnant people. But now they are detaining them, brutalizing them & denying medical attention. #ICELawlessness

Big Tech is plotting a $100M lobbying and campaign spending blitz to block AI regulation at the state and federal level. We must stop this takeover before it's too late.

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

EXCLUSIVE: Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie plan to hold another major press conference with Epstein survivors early next week at the U.S. Capitol

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world? Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Canada has lost its measles elimination status 😢 And with that, the only region of the world of eliminate measles - the Americas - goes with it What is elimination and why does it matter? Tl;dr: more work for already overstrained healthcare and public health systems 🧵👇

"Most Americans are good. Most Americans want a free society. They will fight for their community. Chicago, and the rest of this tortured land, deserves a government as good and as brave as the people defending it." Outstanding piece by @willbunch.bsky.social: www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

This is the resting site of Technical Sergeant Leonard Phillip Matlovich. Race relations instructor, and recipient of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. He purposefully outted himself as gay to fight their ban, the first to do so. This is what real courage looks like. Happy Veterans Day #Pinks

Makary just spewed disinformation about dementia, heart, disease, and many other things

Marty Makary thinks that menopause kills women and shortens their lifespan, except women live longer than men

I'm thinking today of all my fellow veterans but especially the more than 5,000 trans service members and their families who were kicked out of the military this year despite being highly qualified and serving honorably. This injustice will be a stain on our nation's history.

I would just live my life so that Joyce Carol Oates does not feel the need to destroy me.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. (Published January)

South Koreans- (ICE raid on Hyundai/LG joint venture plant in Georgia) detained by ICE are planning to sue, alleging human rights violations, racial profiling, unlawful arrest... that ICE failed to inform them of their rights, held them in overcrowded & unsanitary conditions, & used racial slurs

🚨 NEW: ADP report: U.S. LOST an average of 11,000 jobs per week in October 2025. Let’s compare, shall we: In 2024, the economy ADDED about 2.2 million jobs in 2024 — an average monthly GAIN of 186,000. From steady climb to sudden slide.

All of the same MAGA idiots that called Zohran an Al-qaeda jihadist will support Trump welcoming a literal al-qaeda member in the White House because these people are sick.
