Absolutely the f not.

Now this is ambitious (and American listeners like me prob don't know just how many chart hits Bowie had). R.I.P. Starman

This is the world of lawless abuse of power we are building for decades to come with the funding and staffing increases that ICE has received. ICE is now an internal secret police force, nominally focused on immigration enforcement, but ultimately accountable to no one other than Trump and Miller.

I’m sure he’s got inside intel but any casual observer would know that already

I believe the original sin Democrats, and especially the Biden administration, made after January 6th was viewing January 6th as the *end* of something, rather than the *beginning* of something.

Incredible. Bluesky has the juice and this is proof.

The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care. We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.

Yeah I think she gets the deserved ratio

Arguably a band that meant a lot to me for a relatively brief period of time, whom I never saw in concert.
