What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

Hey, @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social which episode was it where you spoke about responding vs. reacting? I'd love some help finding that, I'd like to send it to a friend. 🙏🏻

In 2022 I interviewed Guantanamo survivor Mansoor Adayfi @mansooradayfi441.bsky.social as well as former US Counterintelligence officer Mark Fallon @markfallon.bsky.social. This link should work even if you don't have a Substack account. substack.com/@jherlig/not...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Though administration officials have consistently said the people being sent to #Guantánamo are the “worst of the worst,” 51 of the 178 were considered to be non-criminal, meaning they had committed no crime other than being present in the United States unlawfully. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

What a disgrace. Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them. *This* is how democracy dies.

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

You cannot possibly be accepting this trash, can you? What's next, 'I only hit you because I love you!"?

I ♡ her so much. 🔥 🔥 🔥

Dear god they keep finding new lows. Or maybe they are new highs?—of coupdom. Please read this. Please?

Crockett: While he was stopping money… somehow the only money that didn’t stop was the money going to his organization. I don’t know you can have him be watchdog as well as the guy living off of the government. If you want to talk about government welfare, it looks like Elon Musk

Remember when Google's motto was "Don't Be Evil"?

Nailed it. 👇🏻👇🏻

[insert standard doomsday caption here] They know no "low" or "smarmy" that is too "low" or too "smarmy" and I wish they would all f*ck off and stop r*ping our country in broad daylight.

My solution is better than yours.

Sailors: remember how the GFS weather model tanked in comparison to what other countries offered during the 45 administration?

Today I said goodbye to Google Maps. 🖕🏻 Fuck your "Gulf of America" bullshit. I've switched to OsmAnd.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

What a pleasure it was to read thoughts so well put together. Thank you, ABA. And thanks for the link @markfallon.bsky.social 🙏🏻

STOP THIS. THIS IS NOT OKAY.

Looking for facts about the Guantánamo Migrant Operations Center? What is the difference between the GMOC and the military detention center? Check out CVT’s facts at this page: www.cvt.org/what-we-do/a...

Good morning from West Palm Beach.

PSA: They’re killing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it protects you from them.

Elon Musk is allowed into the Department of Education, but NOT our elected officials. Make it make sense.

Is it just me or has WIRED been dogwalking the rest of the media on this story

Someone gonna get big mad at this

Why? "A separate Bondi directive also disbanded efforts to seize the assets of Russian oligarchs, including Task Force Klepto Capture and the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative."

This. Gitmo is a festering boil and it needs to be lanced, not fed.

“President Trump, meanwhile, is busy with other things, like vendettas, and jabbering. He’s so completely absorbed in an unwinnable war with his own insecurities that he has unwittingly become the Persian cat to musk’s Blofeld - ...👇

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

How many re-posts can I headline "WHAT IN THE EVER-LOVING FUCK" before it's too many?? This isn't about whether or not you agree that DEI is an inarguable net-positive. This is about your country's cabinet seeking blatant revenge. This is thuggery. Those responsible for it should be tried in court.

All or nothing. Racist leadership.

Did WWII teach us nothing? What a shameful day.

I'm picking an outfit to wear to the fall of democracy. 🤔

Good morning, world.

This is despicable and must be stopped. We are supposed to grow and improve as a nation, not revert to the days of lawless marauders. #STOPTRUMP

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Sigh.

Life has been kind of dark and depressing lately, and after I quit Instagram not much sailing content has been coming my way. So WHAT A TREAT to see my friends from Sailing Totem populating my Bluesky feed this morning. Suddenly the sun is out again in my world. ☀️ 💙

Trump is trapped in endless cycles in which he acts out simulations of strength to elicit liberal tears he finds emotionally satisfying to distract the country and himself from his own incompetence that leads him to lose control of fights he started, before inevitably capitulating.

RFK Jr. and his family stand to profit off lawsuits against vaccines. An HHS Secretary shouldn't have a financial interest in making our country sicker. I’m demanding RFK Jr. recuse himself from any work on vaccine policy while he has a financial interest in the outcome.

Dear fucking god stop this maniacal piece of shit pleeeeeease.

‘Due process” at #Guantanamo Bay would be #BreakingNews #GTMO hosts the world’s most expensive prison and is a symbol of #torture, injustice and oppression. There are 15 prisoners of the war on terror there, some in indefinite detention without trial. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...
