"The ICE agent's version of events would not have come under such scrutiny had the federal government not gotten greedy and charged Aljorna and Sosa-Celis with assaulting a federal officer who was performing their official duties. And that’s where things started to fall apart." — @snipy.bsky.social

This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community. Yesterday I called for EPA and Congressional investigations into the impact of data center construction on local drinking water supplies. We cannot take water for granted.

Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio wants $2 to $5 million from trump's slush fund Cuz he suffered .. MEANWHILE Sgt. Aquilino Gonell who was brutality injured and now disabled gets NOTHING Walk in his shoes Beyond disgusting and so wrong

The DNC disdains local party organizations and small donors and has no idea how to win elections despite spending nearly a billion dollars.

Trump has dispatched Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to Nuuk with an ultimatum to Greenland: give up your sovereignty by Trump’s birthday—or else. The Trump regime calls it a “negotiation” for a permanent U.S. military presence. Greenland and Denmark see it as a direct threat to their sovereignty.

There you go. It's a bunker. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue & shoot somebody & I wouldn’t lose any voters.” Trump said it during a campaign rally in Iowa, in Jan. 2016 while talking about his supporters. And it's true. His loyal thugs shot down two innocent citizens in Minneapolis & he still has support. #maddow

WELKER: Your decision to reopen Clinton email investigation days before voters went to polls -- knowing what you know now, would you make same decision? COMEY: I think so W: Do you think your decision played a role in Trump's election? C: I hope not. My goal that year was to stay out of politics

The Trump regime, w/ the media’s help, starts the history of its foreign relations where its chooses. The Iran-US story starts w/ the 1979 embassy takeover, not the 1953 U.S.-engineered coup. The Cuba-US story starts w/ the 1996 plane downings, not the Bay of Pigs in 1961 or plots to kill Castro.

Curious: how many non violent offenders are in Colorado prisons for non violent offenses? Do they get pardons too?

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

With the news that Gov Jared Polis of Colorado just granted clemency to Tina Peters, justice has been once again perverted, and this time by a DEMOCRAT desperate for Donald Trumps adoration. Congrats Jared Polis. I bet you get invited to the WH now

The 2026 counterterrorism strategy erases Iranian proxies and neo-Nazi cells to deify one man. It breeds the next mass graves by design. #CTStrategyRot

So free speech. Much viewpoint diversity. Very marketplace of ideas.

Moscow shuts the Gulag museum on fake safety violations while Stalin icons return to its metro to enforce state infallibility. Revisionism liquifies 20M corpses into propaganda varnish sustaining eternal rot. #StalinEternal

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk, 38, from Seattle, was filmed throwing a large rock at a Hawaiian monk seal. When confronted, he said, “I’m rich. I can pay the fines.” He was arrested and faces up to two years in prison and $70K in fines. people.com/man-charged-...

⚡️Update: 1 killed, 16 injured in Kyiv as Russia's mass daytime attack continues overnight, causing building collapse.

I saw these headlines and thought "oh well some jerk wrote a form letter to a kid's letter that's dumb" but no it appears that one of the worst people in Congress took time out of her day to talk shit to a 10 y/o and tell him he should be more worried about debt and school propaganda than climate

When I was writing my concentration camp book, one challenging aspect was that the most extreme aspects of what I was writing about were, in many ways, beyond metaphor. In fact, this kind of suffering *was* the metaphor others looked to emphasize the horror of some other kind of event. [1/3]

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social at the CA state capitol: “We chanted ‘we will not go back’ — I burned a confederate flag outside the chamber to send a message we will not go back to the times in which our folks were met with Billy clubs & the blast of the fire hose…” 🇺🇸

I heard an MS NOW reporter describe GOP resistance to Ukraine aid as “isolationist.” But when you see Republicans plunge the U.S. into a Mideast war, steal Venezuelan oil and blow up boats in international waters, it’s clear that over-all GOP policy is not isolationist. It is, however, pro-Putin.
