"Who will get them first, the FDA or the lawsuits?" Neither! Because that's how fascist regimes operate: nothing will substantially change until the regime is removed. That HAS to be a top-down event, because otherwise, that top just invalidates and/or ignores any attempts from below to fix things.

I am in such a conflicted way with today's launch. On the one hand, I have always loved NASA and all things related. On the other, I despise that this happens on Trump's watch, who will inevitably claim full credit. But most alarmingly, I'm worried how this regime's ineptitude might affect this.

I don't know Bryon Noem AT ALL. I don't know if he's equally as crazy as Kristy or if he was someone who tried to distance himself from her when he discovered his 'bimbofication' kink. So I'll just say this: given who he's married to, it's a good thing Bryon's fetish of choice wasn't Puppy Play.

The only "aliens" that this fascist regime considers to be demons are the innocent people they're having the ICEstapo illegally round up and throw into camps. We've already got pretty much definitive proof from his own boss that the US government isn't doing some elaborate cover-up about UFOs:

So very impressed with the voice cast already. It certainly feels like we're in a renaissance of indie animation, and I'm so very, very happy to see The Elves Of Amaranth become part of it. #TheElvesofAmaranth #TEA #cast #indieanimation

No, Trump is NOT a "Russian agent." He's FAR TOO STUPID to be any kind of agent, and his ego is FAR TOO BIG to allow himself to ever take orders from other people. However, that doesn't mean he's not a Russian ASSET. Those two factors also make him SUPER EASY to be manipulated by smarter people.

heh

Ah yes, because illegal aliens are notoriously famous for sneaking into the country by *checks notes* purchasing a ticket on a major airline and arriving at an international airport, one of the most closely monitored locations in any modern metropolis.

Collections like these are amazing, but at the same time, I get nervous seeing such things because it makes me wonder how long it will be until this fascist regime decides to start selling off ("donating") things like this to wealthy assholes as part of their ongoing perpetual grift.

As America continues its baseless warmongering, I can unfortunately see this quote from Ambassador Londo Mollari becoming more and more appropriate as time goes on.

How I arrived on Bluesky (as I suspect many other who left Twitter for an alternative did)

"In the aftermath of the U.S. attack, Iran launched attacks at U.S. allies where American troops are stationed across the region—including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates." You were warned, guys. We're no longer your "ally." You're just ablative shielding.

As yet another illegal military strike continues, I feel this may need to be repeated to keep things in perspective.

This should be a global wake-up call. We have now, TWICE, kidnapped and/or assassinated the leader of another country that we were not at war with. NO leader on this globe is safe. Not if this fascist regime feels their goals can be met by such means. NO leader. Of ANY country. Yes, EVEN YOURS.

This suggests that, having done it twice, the fascist regime running America is PERFECTLY OKAY with the idea of a country's military assassinating and/or unlawfully kidnapping the leader and/or high-level political individuals of ANOTHER nation, yes? Just asking for every non-US country out there.

Okay, Dems. NOW will you finally accept the fact that we are living under a fascist regime, and your "politics as usual" will NOT—CANNOT—stop people who happily ignore ANY AND ALL LAWS in order to remain in power? Or are you going to once again lie to yourself and say, "They wouldn't do that"?

Okay, so @avantris.bsky.social are having a Kickstarter later this year, and their trailer video for it is simply a masterpiece. I don't even play D&D anymore as my TTRPG, but I'm going to have to back this one just for the sheer audacity of them doing something this cool for it. #ttrpg #5e #noai

If you see this, post a monster!!

"No, no, Ms. Leavitt. I asked when the President thinks he's been FALSELY called racist. We all know he's been ACCURATELY called racist on innumerable occasions."

This fascist regime will replace her with someone else just as terrible, but in the meantime, I'll accept what little schadenfreude I can get when offered.

Just a reminder that this fascist regime doesn't want a multicolored quilt. They just want a nice, clean white sheet.

For those who were unaware, the "reason" why Colbert couldn't show Talarico's interview, as per Colbert himself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh7D... and the interview on YouTube itself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ... Make sure the algorithm picks it up everywhere and let the Streisand Effect commence.

Just a gentle reminder to folks that what "modern AI" like Grok or ChatGPT generates is NOT ART. It is a graphical rendering based on parameters that you throw into a giant plagiarization machine. If you are calling the result of THAT "art," then you fundamentally misunderstand what art IS.

You can tell this AI slop is targeted specifically to right-wing MAGA types, and it's wildly appropriate that their particular demographic is the one deemed most likely to consume literal fake history made from stolen work and only created to make a quick buck at the expense of actual artists.

Continuing the embarrassment of how obvious the universe is making things so some idiots out there can understand EXACTLY how bad these people are, they've now moved on to murder things that are not only Good, but also Pretti. If your last name is something like Honest or True, I'd be VERY careful.

This whole thread is just perfect.

"[…] the Social Security Administration had discovered a secret agreement between a DOGE employee and an unidentified political advocacy group. The agreement called for sharing Social Security data with the aim of overturning election results in certain states, according to the filing." >

Dear journalists: for the love of god, please stop suggesting that the Republicans in Congress are somehow just victims of Trump and are like scared children, and too scared to fight back. They're not. They're an integral, WILLING part of this entire fascist regime. They are abusers, not victims.

Just a reminder that this regime WILL enable Martial Law/ Insurrection Act/ State of Emergency at SOME point down the line as their "justification" to murder people. Don't let a fear of giving Evil People an "excuse" to do WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO ANYWAY stop you from still doing The Right Thing.

Just a reminder for folks who still wonder why this regime's appointees are SO BAD at their jobs: If someone entirely incompetent, clueless, and openly antagonistic to something is put in charge of it, they are not being put there to RUN that thing, they are being put there to DESTROY that thing.

The cat strikes again. On the plus side, I suppose I get to revisit my interest in #archaeology.

We were premature? PREMATURE? For god's sake, what the hell do you think 'warnings' are? You give them to hopefully PREVENT an upcoming catastrophe, not to chronicle it as it happens. JFC

Apparently this could not be posted over on Google due to it "violating Community Policy" somehow, but this applies equally to pretty much the entire world anymore, so I figured I'd just drop it here. "Removing YouTube's 'sort by upload date' option is a poor decision. I know providing content is >

Hell, we've seen that MAGA would have been actual full collaborators with Great Britain during the American Revolution, and would be donning red coats and shooting at their fellow colonists in a heartbeat.

Right? Her name was Good. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙢𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 _𝙂𝙊𝙊𝘿_ 𝙞𝙣 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙙 𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩. How many more BLATANT SIGNS does the universe have to slam into the heads of some people before they finally, truly comprehend what sort of "government" we're dealing with?

Tell me again, optimists, exactly how is this fascist regime is somehow crumbling by the day, and all we have to do is just "win in the midterms" or some such…? Shit like this has far, FAR more reaching consequences than a federal judge telling them no in a VERY stern voice again. We'll need MORE.

Knowing how this fascist regime likes to operate, this feels like it will be used for gaslighting, or just to seed disinformation about upcoming Democratic elections.

I think many of us have mentioned exactly how poorly-written of a book the last decade would have been. Bad Guys so blatantly, cartoonishly, OBVIOUSLY evil, any decent editor would have sent the whole thing back for a rewrite. The Bad Guys murdered someone named Good. Jesus fucking Christ, people.

If you STILL have an account on Twitter, maaaaaaaybe this should be the final clarion call for you to delete it entirely. I know you may have built your entire business/brand/reputation on your Twitter account originally… but THIS is what is being associated with YOUR business/brand/reputation NOW.

"Might makes right" are some bold words coming from Stephen Miller, who seems like the sort of guy who STILL gets beaten up for his lunch money by middle schoolers.

The German language has a fascinating word for what's happening here: Lebensraum. The globe was warned to prepare for a retelling of WWII, but one as if Germany had a military budget greater than the next 9 countries combined. And here we go. The rest of the world better evict their US bases NOW.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but NOTHING this fascist regime ever does is a "distraction" from the Epstein files (or anything else, for that matter). They are not doing current evil to DISTRACT US from them doing past evil, they are doing current evil IN ADDITION to them doing past evil.

Honestly, for all Trump's rambling over the past year, I had fully expected Greenland to be the Poland to this regime's wanna-be Nazi Reich. In retrospect, it seems obvious, but I hadn't expected Venezuela to be the first country Trump would break the UN charter with to start off the US Lebensraum.

One would think that Trump, of all people, would not want to normalize the idea of foreign nations making an illegal military strike to kidnap a country's serial criminal leader who had achieved the Presidency by nefarious means and was destroying their own country as its narcissistic dictator.

Yes, absolutely vote in the midterms, but don't vote thinking it will remove them, because we already know they are not going to allow that. Vote to ensure that their blatant cheating will be so hard to hide that it may help push enough people to do what needs to be done to remove them from power.

If I may suggest a correction to her quote? "This is a time when our country really will find out who loves America, who wants the freedoms and liberties that our country represents, and how they're willing to stand up and defend it against the likes of President Trump." Looking at you, #Democrats
