Can we just savor the fact that, in these days before Thanksgiving, a federal judge threw out the cases against James Comey and Letitia James and noted that Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed (making clear that Trump's the one who violated the law)?

No. I grew up in an evangelical doomsday cult. There an easy solution. Punch them in the face. Figuratively, with a national strike, and literally if they get in your face. If you back down, they win.

The Constitution is not self-enforcing. The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms. And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People. No one is coming to save us. It's entirely up to us.

Waiting for the Pentagon to investigate the US Millitary Academy at West Point for urging troops to defy illegal orders… Link ht @laurenmeidasa.bsky.social

Well yeah and it’s one of democrats biggest failures that they didn’t go scorched earth when they had the chance. Why they didn’t recall him and burn him to the ground when they had the chance is bizarre. They discussed it and never went through with it

Do we get to recall Gen. Michael Flynn? 🖕🏼Hegseth

This won't backfire at all. Can we be done with this timeline?

Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

broken record here but it is insane that i am more concerned with the 20kish Americans living in venezuela than the entire national press

Reasons Trump wants war w/ Venezuela: • To steal oil – pure financial greed • To steal land • To kill/to feed his sadism • To emulate Putin's totalitarianism and his invasion of Ukraine • To distract from and prevent full release of the Epstein files • In an attempt to justify martial law in the US

Broke: DOGE is dead Woke: DOGE was specifically constructed in a way to avoid accountability partially by zombifying the USDS which still exists as an entity Bespoke: Dead or not, there needs to be a blue ribbon committee and a massive internal cybersecurity review to root out all the damage.

haha! funny meme! anyone who participated in DOGE's nonsense should be prosecuted or sent to The Hague.

As we celebrate the DOGE shutdown, take a moment to remember all the government employees who list their jobs....like my friends at NOAA.

BREAKING: DOGE Dissolves After Successfully Stealing Confidential Information and Taxpayer Data on Every American

This sums up the verifiable impact of DOGE.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

Bluesky is not the first or fiftieth time we’ve tried this “letting people talk to each other on the internet” thing

This is a great thread, and, look, on the one hand I was ten years old at the time and on the other hand my Usenet posts from then are in the DejaNews archive, so when I tell you that this is a good summary and taught me some things I didn’t know, you understand that I was there when it was written

Gogai, gogai! We don't get BRAND NEW NEVER BEFORE SEEN official artwork often here in the Revolutionary Girl Utena fandom, but when we do, it's Chiho Saito serving us post-series sapphic HELL YES. This was part of a merchandise drop from Rose-nik, cleaned from a scan by purpleriot with permission!

I block these bots immediately. Can't stand the fact there are people out there trying to take advantage of the genocide of Palestinians.

This is what I mean, these are bot scam accounts. Don't blindly share these.

as we told them, time and time again Xitter is just 3 (foreign) bots and a Grok in a trench coat

I must admit I went through my twitter/X followers with the new "about this function", that allows users to identify the followers origin. I had collected a few African bots and fake accounts pretending to be European. It seems pretending to be Ukranian is a popular right now among sock puppets.

I would like to say I’m surprised but I am not. A year ago I hypothesized most of these kinds of accounts were fake/bots/sock puppets. Also-no way musky has that many followers-these people are all show and no go, as they say. But hey I’m happy to have my hypothesis proved.

This is no surprise. Lots of bots! There has been a huge decline in the number of North American MAGAts still suctioned onto the disgusting pedophile in the White House.

The prudent thing to do is to assume every last one of the fundraising posts for Gaza etc. is a spammer. If you don't want to report them, at least block them, and don't give a dime to any of them.

Another weird variant I’ve seen lately is: fundraising spam links turning up *in my notifications* randomly, that don’t appear to be a reply to anything I’ve posted, haven‘t tagged me (unless invisibly?) don‘t even follow me - HOW ARE THEY IN MY NOTIFICATIONS?? It’s freaky and I block them on sight

Say it with me, kids: structuring transactions for the purpose of avoiding reporting requirements or scrutiny is itself illegal, even when the source and destination of the money are both perfectly legal themselves

Not to mention the time Molly tried recruiting her followers to commit financial crimes on behalf of these supposed Palestinians accounts?

Oh god not this shit again. Didn't we literally already go over why this is all a big scam, and why the people crying for exemptions to anti-spam moderation and calling Bsky genocidaires over their refusal to do so are lunatics, like a couple of months ago???

Source: am site admin of site (written in Perl, even), first saw that tactic to bypass our captchas in like 2004

The perl scripts could, however, present a direct copy of the captcha to people who were browsing for porn or torrents or porn torrents on a partner site, record the answer, and play it back to the site that presented the captcha to the spammer!

There are currently at least 7 automated bots on the network, posting the same fundraising link. They've posted the same link well over 100 times today. Yesterday it was 4 with over 300 posts to the same link in a single day Nearly every single one has "✅Verified by #Molly_Shah" in the bio.

The fact that 70% of the right wing accs on that hellhole are indian bots shouldn't surprise anyone that has been paying attention, but its still really really funny to witness lol

Imagine buying Twitter for $44 billion(!) and destroying most of its value in order to tell an audience of bots and neo-Nazis that you are the best and tallest person in the world with the strongest bones.

Reminder: those trolls in the comments probably aren't real. There's over a decade of proof of Russia generating fake engagement with bots to flood the internet with their narratives. Let's start a list: what are the dumbest things you've seen these bots say?🤡🤖

Would everyone please internalize this one fact? That on here, and on there, most of the people you're arguing with are paid foreign engagement bots or trolls working to divide us.

fyi the spam bots on itch.io are now posing as developers in comments on random games to trick people into downloading malware report em when you see em

Oh yeah Elon doesn’t wanna be exposed to all the fake Twitter propaganda accounts that keep MAGA people ‘rage tweeting’ instead! Twitter is a cesspool of fake domestic and global accounts - by the millions! bots are off the roof

Because we could never possibly question his conservative budget unless we were Russian bots, right? Fucking clown shoes.

with the announcement of this, i will be moving away from sammi and learning other streamer bots fuck ai dude, im pissed

I mean no one should use Twitter anymore for real but it is still very funny that Elon is doxxing the russian bots

X is no longer reliably a space for genuine political engagement: many accounts are bots, or foreign actors aiming to destabilise and sow division. www.politicshome.com/news/article... 5/10

This will last about a week until Musk realises it is showing X for the cesspit of bots and trolls it really is.

I have a sneaky suspicion that at least 50% of the “verified” accounts on X are bots programmed to spew shit like this

This lasted all of 2 hours before Elon turned it off again. He doesn't want you to see all the Russian bots that infest Twitter.
