Really, guys? Seriously? “Like an Oura, but for your schlong. The current political moment is perfect for penis-hacking.”

Now’s the time to leave X and stop supporting abuse of women and girls.

NEW: People are using Elon Musk's chatbot, Grok, to alter images to depict real women being sexually abused, humiliated, hurt, and even killed. futurism.com/future-socie...

Been away doing actual work for a few hours… has he bombed Greenland yet? Kidnapped Denmark’s prime minister?

“Congress just lies there. Worrisome! Maybe Congress is depressed! The last thing it needs is someone to remind it of all the things it is supposed to be doing.”

There are quite a few threads here on BlueSky this morning saying “here’s the real reason Trump invaded Venezuela.” I have the real scoop: none of us knows. Trump himself likely doesn’t know. He is a feral creature, driven by whim and distractible as a dog seeing a squirrel. All he wants is to win.

Just learned that UNC has open nights at the astronomical observatory. skynet.unc.edu/guestnight/h...

Hope springs eternal: a group in Chicago acts out real life encounters with ICE as a way to conquer the fear. BTW, created by one of my former students now in grad school at @loyolachicago.bsky.social youtu.be/9pfvDB8YyTg?...

Trump doesn’t understand the laws and policies that govern police misconduct. But the people around him do. And sure enough, his administration has made clear that they will provide zero oversight and will conduct no civil rights investigations into police abuse.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), run by Oz and his boss, RFK Jr., will no longer require physicians to report vaccination rates. Instead, they plan to start having doctors report if they’ve discussed “alternative” vaccine schedules.

HOW DOES DEMENTED DONNY DUMBFUCK IMAGINE HE'S GOING TO RUN VENEZUELA? HE COULDN'T EVEN READ HIS PREPARED SCRIPT YESTERDAY WITHOUT BEING A SLURRING, RAMBLING MESS — AND HE FELL ASLEEP WHILE STANDING UP. MANY ARE SAYING I HAVE WRITTEN A POST LIKE NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4aEKAw8

We know you’re there, MAGA Bluesky people. Didn’t he tell you “no more wars”?

Jan 3 was the deadline for Trump's DOJ to inform Congress why they had made redactions in the Epstein Files, including the names of all 10 co-conspirators. The Epstein Transparency Act explicitly prohibits redactions based on "embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity."

The way things are going, we’re going to halve our population in the next few years. SNAP cuts, Medicaid cuts, no more vaccines, no more environmental regulations…and now apparently everyone everywhere carrying guns, openly.

The international and U.S. legal issues around Trump’s attack on Venezuela will make it tough to “run” the country. Gifted article www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/u...

So when can you start

I'm going to come out and say it: I don't think Kamala Harris would have done this.

Don’t know why there’s a sun up in the sky…I want snowy weather.

Read the indictment against Nicolás Maduro here.

Sums it up—

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Yes, Maduro is a bad guy. So is Trump. Yes, Maduro lied about his own election win. So did Trump. Yes, Maduro is corrupt AF. So is Trump. Who’s coming to carry him off to a courtroom?

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

This shit is making my head spin, a la The Exorcist

Question for an international law type: isn’t there a way the Hague could come into play? The ICC, the EU? Couldn’t they charge him criminally in international courts?

Where are the brave men and women who can take the fuc*ing reins out of his hands, say Grandpa needs his nap, and 25th the heck out of him?

Poetry is so pithy

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Is Connections trolling JDVance?

We're now two weeks past the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files, and are overly redacting and tampering with what they do release, because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

New in PN: The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives "Republican policies have created a perfect vicious cycle: Privatize services, let private companies run amok, then declare that the government is the problem. And the Trump administration is turbo-charging it."

A hallmark of autocracy is the elimination of a free press. Some dictators have reporters killed, other extort the media with threats of fines, sanctions and takeovers.

Please. Stop blaming “the media” for everything. Stop buying the “fake news” crap. It’s killing real people with families and jobs. What most people blame reporters for is saying bad things about people they like, most of which are true. Don’t be like Trump.

Really really really not liking the direction Trump is taking us. I don’t want an all-white country. I like to learn from all kinds of people. “The list, which is composed mostly of countries in Africa, includes Angola, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.” apple.news/AoyN4D7m6SJ6...

He’s right, you know.

Such cowards, these Republicans. Trump is tearing our country apart, and what do they do? Run for the hills.

"Maddeningly, voters want contradictory things: low prices when they shop, high wages for themselves; not many immigrants but lots of cheap labour; rising house prices when they own and lower ones when their children want to buy" www.economist.com/leaders/2025... From The Economist

Watergate inspired me to become a journalist. The 1970s in America felt a lot like the mid-2020s feel now: hopeless, helpless, infuriated and frustrated. After that, we strengthened safeguards so Presidents couldn’t do what Nixon did. Trump is trampling over them. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/u...
