A small problem with Bluesky is that there is a critical mass of users who miss Twitter because they want to yell at those who disagree with them and be combative with people in power, but absent that, they decide to nitpick with their allies and making annoyingly obvious comments to feel something.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

NEW: I'm listening in on a second new lawsuit out of Illinois today, addressing First Amendment freedoms surrounding protests, including press and religious claims. Judge Sara Ellis, an Obama appointee, is hearing the TRO motion and has found the plaintiffs, for TRO purposes, have standing.

You're going to get some response on that one! Can't wait.

Please watch her final words to us all. They are beautiful and have given me a grounding sort of hope. Maybe they’ll help you too.

If you are still in the stock market you'll get what you deserve. Don't come crying to me buddy-0. You knew the risk.

They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!

Wouldn't it be a hoot if they sent the IRS to patrol? No, just kidding, not funny, but kinda funny.

Supposed to fly out on a business trip Sunday morning. Drafting an email now to client canceling the trip should the shutdown continue. Fuck the GOP. Dems better not fold like a house of cards on this one. HOLD THE LINE.

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown the doj was like "idk" the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

He's totally going to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell by the way.

Fucking A Dude, kick some ICE ass.

We covered this on today's @dailybeanspod.com. Extremely dangerous and these ICE agents should be charged with felonies.

Well, well, well, if they aren't biting the hand here. This will be interesting.

That's a step in the right direction. Now if only that had some weight behind it, maybe if Bar would start yanking licenses, that would mean something.

Well, Cj seems nice.

Nothing like "demonic sexual performance" to drive up views. I'm in!

Imagine being so far gone mentally you can’t even remember the name of a book you wrote.

It's a start.

i could write a tome about how fucking embarrassing it is for journalism that someone as morally bankrupt as bari weiss has ascended to the highest levels of money and power by tickling trump's balls but instead i'm going to keep covering the people hurt most by his terror and giving them a voice.

Got yelled at by my university for posting on LinkedIn that I'm open to jobs abroad because things are looking bleak in the US. Somehow this was interpreted as a bad look for the university? I'm just saying what everyone recognizes as reality.

He's correct. Take it from an old, your health has to come first. Don't just talk the talk either. If you aint walk'n the walk, you're toast.

NEW: Illinois's lawsuit against the Trump admin to block the deployment of the Texas National Guard there has been assigned to Judge April Perry, a Biden appointee.

He’s the only Republican there. He sent all the rest of them home again to avoid a vote on the Epstein files. Since Johnson has become Speaker they have probably been in recess at least 3 out of every 4 days. And they’ve done NOTHING on health care for years. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Archi Bunker character, reframed.

And now we have a Slovenian prostitute. 🤦🏻‍♂️

A federal judge in Oregon has blocked the Trump administration from sending members of California's — or any other state's — federalized National Guard to the streets of Portland, Oregon.

Soooooooo true...

Governor Greg Abbott wants to send the Texas National Guard to attack protesting citizens in Portland when Abbott’s own “Texas Tough”-clowns were too afraid to save the children in Uvalde from an actual criminal.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

Hey, you guys? Is it a good sign or a bad sign if a federal judge has to remind you (multiple times) that you’re a lawyer and an officer of the court?

We will see

Tomorrow’s NYT headline

You forgot throwing you back out in the shower

Sign me up

Dems are not just giving him a pass. They want to cooperate with him.

It’s a sickness

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

😭

Give people, give.

So, Youtube has paid Trump 24.5 million to settle. Oh…and as part of that settlement…Noel Casler’s podcast can no longer be watched on Youtube. They are buying up media at an accelerated rate of speed…to silence dissent. Notice, however…Trump never threatens to sue Noel. Noel has THE receipts.

Where are the commanding officers of those sailors in the background. How are they letting this happen?

There is no need to compare ICE to a foreign group when the Klan—a home grown group of masked men who terrorized communities of color—is right there for comparison.

If you wonder how bad the Epstein Files are for Donald, he had the federal government shut down so you wouldn't find out.

One of the things we are going to have to be very, very aware of is that a lot of people who are being heavily armed right now will simply not be willing to accept the results of a democratic election because they will go to jail.
