I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

A classic #brokentimes story for @jeffjarvis.bsky.social The article contains quotes POTUS, VP and DHS sec blaming the left, and 2 dems correcting their lies. But the whole thing is framed as tit-for-tat, 'both sides' nonsense. "political figures quickly engaged with one another on social media"

If @benryanwriter.bsky.social is this ignorant or obtuse about the role stigma plays in public health, why does he think he’s informed enough to write about it?

Another wild scoop on NPR from @tomdreisbach.bsky.social: Video shows a man on Jan. 6 shouting for the crowd to kill police: “Kill ‘em!” He admitted saying it. One of Trump’s first acts in office was to cancel his trial and hire him for a job at the Justice Department.

This framing is straightforwardly wrong: The US isn’t raising tariffs on *partners*, they tariffs are on imports and paid for by Americans.

Behold, the leading political philosopher on the right.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Riley Gaines makes the swim from Alcatraz - ties for fifth place behind 61 year old former Supervisor Aaron Peskin.

"What I Heard On A Suicide Hotline For Trans Kids" "My callers wished their parents weren’t in denial and didn’t echo right-wing talking points. They wished they didn’t feel so alone late at night. They called from Utah and Arizona and Iowa...'Somebody has to give me a reason to live.'"

Hey @insideedition.bsky.social quick question, is your twitter handle really “@slongmcdong”?

Downtown Los Angeles. This is how law enforcement is treating protestors when arrested. They literally smashed this young guy in the face. Make it known. This is the real violence.

A disgraced former Milwaukee cop with credibility issues helped seal the fate of a gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison. Cross was fired from his position as a Milwaukee Police Sergeant in 2012 after driving his car into a family’s home while intoxicated.

He was stripped naked, placed in a cold shower, and deprived of food, water, and medication. He collapsed before being hospitalized.

Getting attention for all the right reasons

7 of the 10 worst ratios in BlueSky history belong to @schumer.senate.gov Most are about him screwing up on this CR vote bsky.app/profile/did:...

Democrats briefly had leverage over Trump and they threw it away as fast as possible because they're scared of power and scared of resistance. Primary every single last one of them. Burn the party to the ground. Ruin their lives for this

If you are in Montana and your rep voted against these bills, message and thank them. It’s one of the best things you can do.

The Washington Post's editorial board is full of the dumbest people saying the dumbest things.

In the middle of Trump reeling off a list of made up programs that he is lying about cutting, Washington Post cretin Megan McArdle says some of them "probably were driven by progressive activist priorities".

So when you see these results saying 14,000 adults and 1500 infants have died from the PEPFAR suspension, know that Luke Farritor and Gavin Kliger are the people who made those deaths happen. Luke Farritor and Gavin Kliger.

The government punishing a law firm for defending a client seems like the kind of tyranny we fought a revolution against.

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE. DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

Scoop: The databases powering DOGE.gov are insecure, and people outside the government have already pushed their own updates to the site to prove it: www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

After reports circulated Wednesday night of the State Department's intent to purchase Tesla vehicles, the document was edited, at 9:12 p.m., and now says the federal contract is for $400 million worth of "armored electric vehicles," but the word "Tesla" was removed. www.npr.org/2025/02/13/g...

The fraud/waste/abuse expert has logged on

Folks, the DOGE bro is linked to a cybercrime ring. He's linked to a satanic neo-Nazi cybercrime ring that extorts CSAM from minors.

In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Someone in Germany, whom I’ve known for decades, has put together the most used quotes by the German AfD party “so no one tells later they didn’t know!” - PLEASE READ. Please share. 2 pages in English 1 page (original) in German

*** Okay, here's @indivisible.org's big ask: PLAN A SENATE OFFICE VISIT - IN PERSON. Go to their in-state office to tell them what you think. Nothing is more effective. ***

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I built a tool to help protect text against surveillance and fingerprinting. It detects hidden markers, special characters, and patterns that could be used to track the writer.

Didn't see it coming

this is an illegal order. the president does not have the legal authority to discriminate against entire categories of americans on the basis of sex. this order is no different than if he had issued one reinstituting segregation.

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel. I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times! Pls repost 🙏❤️

going to test the power of Bluesky: If you live in LA, I have two tickets to a Jamie XX wildfire relief show at the Shrine that I can't attend anymore. It's starting **now**. If you can make it, I'd like to see the tickets go to good use. DM me! www.axs.com/events/82654...

"The good old days when America was “great” aren’t the 1950s. They’re whatever decade you were 11, your parents knew the correct answer to any question, and you’d never heard of war crimes tribunals, microplastics or improvised explosive devices."

Yesterday, in protest of Harvard University's response to the genocide in Gaza and deepening repression of campus activism against it, I submitted a letter of resignation from my job there. Here is that letter.

Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

If you're discriminated against or arrested for being trans in Illinois, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

apparently, we can all advance the cause of LGBTQ rights by heaping abuse upon this one particular Facebook executive; this isn't something I would normally get behind but since he is urging it himself I thought everyone should know (h/t: www.todayintabs.com/p/heart-of-z...)

What’s happening in NC should be much bigger scandal: gerrymandered GOP legislature stripping power from Dem gov & AG in lame-duck session while Rs trying to throw out 60k votes to overturn Dem victory in state Supreme Court race www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If I owned a bar and someone came in saying "I'm here to start shit, harass your regulars and make your business suck" I would simply kick them out

Very funny that S*ngal thinks that "Katie Tightpussy" is actually the Editor-in-Chief of Bluesky @katie.bzky.team . Just incredible journalism to not be able to spot the difference between bzky.team and bsky.team
