The White House has grown accustomed to Republicans looking the other way on the administration’s scandals. When it comes to Pete Hegseth and alleged war crimes in international waters, this is no longer happening. www.ms.now/politics/key...

Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Another #Caturday well spent.

Someone didn’t get the hibernation memo and is rattling on the window to ask if @darthbluesky.bsky.social is all right.

These dogs like two things: leftover turkey & their friend Traci. We hope you can spare her a little help while they contemplate delicious nibbles

Joe doesn't sit on your lap the way a normal cat does. Joe's built different.

I’m calling my senators and rep.

Seems like a perfect example of an illegal order, and mass murder.

And so it begins…

If you want to give/get signed books by me for the holidays, you can place an online order with Hyperbole Bookstore (a family-owned indie) in College Station, TX hyperbolebookstore.com and ask for signature via their email contact for the Murderbot books, Witch King, Queen Demon, anything in print.

There has been no breathless roadblock coverage of this shooting on cable channels or in major newspapers, afaik. wgme.com/news/local/i...

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

Officials criticize Biden vetting, but Afghan shooting suspect was granted asylum under Trump - www.reuters.com/world/us/off...

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

“Behold, Zuul the Destroyer!”

It’s even creepier in person folks…

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵

@darthbluesky.bsky.social when you find both coyote and bobcat footprints on the same outdoor patio furniture does that mean forbidden love or just furry frenz politely taking turns? If it is the later, maybe I need to put out more furniture.🤷‍♂️

he fell victim to one of the classic blunders! the most famous of which is, ‘never answer the phone for isaac chotiner,’ but only slightly less well-known is this: ‘never behave in a manner which causes derek guy to critique your fashion choices’

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Uh, there is a word for Catholics who declare themselves to be a higher moral authority that the Vicar of Christ…

The Morning Monty would like a warm lap, and perhaps The Price Is Right.

She already had breakfast & thinks I won’t remember

Wow... almost a thousand dollars in just the first few hours. Honestly I feel like a character in a corny holiday movie who lost her Christmas spirit so the town comes together to help her get it back. Except the "town" is bluesky. Thank you so much everyone. 🥹

As Hegseth advances an investigation into Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, remember: - Kelly didn’t do anything wrong - This sends an unsubtle signal to active-duty servicemembers - With Jan 6 in mind, Team Trump shouldn’t be so casual about throwing around the word “sedition” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

It’s neither the lawful answer nor is it the oath they took.

Someone is miffed that whenever they play “Trick Rider” he has to be the horse. #CatsOfBluesky

Yes, there is a copycat in this picture…

“Well, sure, babies are 2-3x more likely to die, and people are 2x as likely to go hungry, but think of the pennies you’ll save on eggs!”

So Bezos is in them too then?

“ORANGE CAT FEED! Everybody rise and shine!”

This reminds me of the research I've done in optics showing that certain optics problems can be directly connected to the mathematics of infinite sets

Happy Friday @darthbluesky.bsky.social! Someone here has volunteered to keep the bed warm while the rest of us slog around in the rain. #CatsOfBluesky

NEW: ProPublica has identified dozens of instances in which the Trump administration’s DOT has moved to cut, weaken or delay safety regulations for cars, trucks, planes, trains and even oil pipelines. Experts say the changes will cost lives.

Clay Higgins was the only member of the House to vote against releasing the Epstein files. His record also includes allegedly putting a gun to the head of one of his ex-wives, voting for a neo-Nazi, and assaulting an unarmed Black man while working as a cop. @nlanard.bsky.social's post from Sept:

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

These agents had better be saying "Merry Christmas," and not "Happy Holidays" as they drag brown people and their children out of church pews. bsky.app/profile/this...
