My neighbor told me he keeps losing falcons to the widening gyre so I asked how many falcons he has and he said he just goes to the falconry and gets a new falcon afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding falcons to drown with the ceremony of innocence and then Yeats started crying.

Woke 2 coming like the Union artillery at Gettysburg.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

Because I was so unjustly overlooked by THE ACADEMY in this years rigged OSCAR “nominations”, I hereby declare myself EMPORER OF LICHTENSTEIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO ME!!!

MN's AG: “We will not save our country in a courtroom. ... ultimately, this country will be saved by the people of the United States. And so that — you protesting, you gathering evidence, you sharing it with us, you communicating with us — is action. It’s actually how we’re going to win.”

One of the highest-testing messages is AOC’s message that Trump is cutting your health care to fund ICE’s violence. It’s quite easy to tell a unified story that resonates.

Watch that. And then tell me how we replace Schumer with her

Acting Field Director David Easterwood.

If you read the rest of the thread, the people shrieking at Kreis haven’t gotten any more intelligent.

I often lose patience w. folks blaming Dems when MAGA has all 3 branches. But the role of the opposition party is to educate the public. Right now Trump is destroying the post WWII order & listening to Chuck you’d think the biggest issue is the cost of eggs.

Literally Japanese high command on the eve of war with the United States

Can't stop looking at this photo/caption. Mesmerizing

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Time to whip out The Quote once again

This one of the people who chose to make the genocide in Gaza worse, throw LGBTQ people in the US under the bus, and support white supremacy and fascism taking over the US. We probably shouldn’t listen to anything they say for the rest of all time.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

No, cops are not using white phosphorus grenades on protestors, you can tell by the way protestors are not burning to death with flames that can’t be extinguished with water. Don’t spread misinformation.

Daily note: @schumer.senate.gov needs to resign. -- America

This dude rules

If a Democratic president had done something like this, Fox and the GOP would have turned Adriana Camberos into a household name à la Willie Horton or, yes, Hunter Biden. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

When I go on Facebook and Instagram these days I see my friends back home standing up together and making their communities stronger. When I call my parents I hear about what’s being done to help. When I come on Bluesky I see a bunch of people saying that bad things will happen no matter what.

Need your help, #lawsky! Looking for a North Carolina attorney, preferably one in Wake County (Raleigh area), who can provide advice and guidance on potentially filing a 50C civil no-contact order. Thanks, y'all!

Alt text, because one would think folks would want news about a general strike to go as far as it can.

I love when you tell people how terrible Newsom is, they're always like, "Well, it's nice to have ideals, but if it comes down to him or the Nazi in the general, *I* am going to vote for him" WE'RE TELLING YOU HOW TERRIBLE HE IS NOW SO IT'S *NOT* A CHOICE BTW HIM & A NAZI, CARL. THAT'S THE POINT.

Seems as if this works — if employers start firing people for standing up for their neighbors and fellow humans — than a remedy is publicizing the identity of those employers.

Real life is The Onion Ellison names his megayacht "Izanami" -- then reads the name backwards futurism.com/future-socie...

I thought they were supposed to be pretending all the protestors are paid?

Fuck off, if a bad word is more offensive to you than literal murder, you are not serious people.

Putting the Nobel Peace Price in a frame with the wording “peace through strength” is probably the biggest “fuck you” to the Peace Price Committee, lol. Love that for those losers.

The Department of Homeland Security is refusing to release information on 3 detained Oglala Lakota tribal members who are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp for Native people, unless the tribe enters into an immigration agreement with ICE.

Ghost plates / patch swapping / mission-specific identities = covert ops / secret police

I've talked about this before, but one of the reason dissident diasporas tend to be so contentious is because the personality traits that make you a dissident are not ones that make you easy to get on with.

I promise you that every annoying cishet white blowhard in this town is turning all of our considerable ability to annoy, aggravate, and rules-lawyer onto ICE. And as annoying as we are online, we're way, way, way more annoying in person.

Czechoslovakia cannot agree with Nazi Germany about the need for lebensraum.

This Pete looks like he could beat the shit out of our Pete.

I wish we could just find someone to tell him that the US bought Greenland and that we need him to design a Northern White House to be built there with a 100,000 ft^2 ballroom and a coal-fired heating system.

That’s why we gotta deal with the increasingly illegitimate Supreme Court scholar.law.colorado.edu/faculty-arti...

The Mephistophelian Sauce. A livener or a punishment? This is from Alexis Soyer’s The Modern Housewife or Ménagère (1849), a recipe book written as a series of letters between two women. Mrs B here is the housekeeping expert. TBH I’d just have kicked Mr B’s friends out.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Still don’t think Kevin Cramer is the *stupidest* Senator, but this makes pretty clear that he isn’t the smartest.

I love that we have four or five separate examples of ICE thugs directly threatening to murder dissidents by saying precisely the same thing (haven't you learned your lesson?), and it never fails to just make people virulently angry. They just refuse to believe it's not working.

You all know what Victor Laszlo would say!

I *refuse* to be a “fan” of any politician. (Writing this down for myself:) I *refuse* to be a fan of any politician!

I’m sure I’m not in the .2% here, but that isn’t a complaint, I’d love to have some folks like this help kick the damn Democrats towards the left that they* claim to be about. *The Dems, not OP
