Jeff Sessions, Senator, has created a new cause of action for the appearance of his (and other co-conspirator's) phone number in investigations of J6. He gets money, with no ability of federal counter argument, for each such event. Oh, by the way, you and I pay him for this "offence". Fuck that guy.

Listening to the loony Secretary of War haranguing the military's top brass about being too fat brought to mind the images of the corpulent ICE corps now terrorizing American cities. The Director of Homeland Security better get her troops in shape! PT twice a day, ICE fatties!

National Security Policy Memorandum 7. Read it. This is the policy that officially turns the government against Trump's opponents. www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

Crypto "currency" - just a set of binary digits stored on a "block chain" of computers. Each group of numbers can be owned, exchanged, gifted, but it is still just a friggin' digital number. Why would you exchange part of your life as labor for one of these friggin' numbers? Hope for dumber than you

I'm not a natural to the criminal mindset - I'm always astonished by them. But Trump is schooling us good. Sitting in the Big Boss chair and shaking down nations, corporations, universities, and now cities - isn't there a law against this? Seems like a prosecutor should stop him. Oh yea - Pamela Jo.

WTF?!!! Trump has ordered the destruction of 2 operating satellites because he doesn't like the data. www.npr.org/2025/08/04/n... I can't drink enough to erase this. Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck ---etc.

Trump never served in the military, so he has no idea what the impact his "deployments" have on the National Guard. Guardsmen view themselves as modern day Minute Men, ready to gear up and roll on EMERGENCIES. Think public service. Trump is abusing the Guard. I'm speaking from experience. TSA.

@seriouslysci.bsky.social I can tell you're running a great science class! Love it! Your kids are jazzed. I spent that last year writing a new 2 year "drone" curriculum, going into the classroom with it in 2 weeks. Nervous!!! I really hope to generate the enthusiasm you do. Kudos.

Trump the twister (aka tornado). "Taking charge" of D.C. is stupid. Listen to "Ohio" by C.S.N.Y for a reminder of how National Guard deployments can go south. This is a move to suppress dissent. National Guard can't do police work. No training (same issue w/ 18 yo ICE recruits). This will backfire.

So...DJT is meeting Putin to "negotiate" a land deal to end Putin's aggression. Trump has no authority to bargain with Ukrainian land. The only land Trump can barter off with Putin is American. Maybe Putin wants Alaska back - or maybe he'd take Florida instead. Trump wouldn't owe tax that way.😜

Our latest for @meidastouch.com. corporate media is glossing over the thing that will bring about the Trump depression. Household debt figures are out and they are catastrophic. Student debt may be the pin that pops this bubble.

I'm not into conman culture. I hate ripoffs. But here we are. We have an elected president (?! wtf, over) who is singularly dedicated to self enrichment. He is about to insert himself into the currency of our nation through his crypto currency boondoggle. That is a crisis. It sucks to be Casandra.

You have a right to remain silent. Exercise it. If stopped by ICE at a checkpoint (or anywhere), just say "lawyer" and hand them your license. End of transaction. Further obstruct by being slow. Only open your window enough to slide license out. Drop it if you can. Make them work for it.

We're seeing mobile highway checkpoints set up by ICE or INS (who knows) all over around Marysville, CA. The 1976 SCOTUS case US v Martinez-Fuerta (428 U.S. 543) seems controlling that they are not unreasonable searches. You can resist by being slow to produce paper, drop license, don't answer Q's.

Watch this - the best 1/2 hour investment you'll make this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFa8...

Chatting with a tree guy today, obviously Hispanic, I asked if he'd seen much ICE activity. He told me they're setting up road blocks around Marysville, CA. Can ICE just stop everyone? I think this is BS. Friggin' police state crap. Not liking being American these days.

I have a good faith question for the legit transgender community, if you will permit me. How offensive is it when I make mistakes with mis-gendering language? I find the English language to be resistant to gender neutrality, and I do make mistakes, without meaning to. How bad is this? Thanks.

Here's a big money idea for somebody to develop. I'm too far past my prime to run it; it just needs to get done. Tear it up, somebody. Imagine a VR wearable that supplies a visual of deep space data. Like an observatory strapped to your face. Imagine the deep space tours. Look through blue sky.

The authoritarian takeover jumped forward (take one giant step) today in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Emil Bove, Trump's personal vampire lawyer Appellate Court nominee, is getting rammed down our throat. Epstein much, Trump? What is a lifetime appointment to the undead? Yikes!

Is the rush to confirm Emil Bove part of Trump's attempt to stay out of jail for f***ing underage girls supplied by Epstein? Looks pretty stinky to me. Bove is entirely unqualified.

Emil Bove? Let's just say "no vampires on the bench".

I'm astonished to learn that the Pentagon has signed a multi-billion contract to integrate AI into ... something military. Anybody who has spent any time using LLM "AI" knows how sketchy this technology is. Pentagon is probably going to get screwed and screw up on this.

As usual, Trump sucks all the oxygen out of the room. He deserves NONE of the attention he gets. He needs to find himself back in a court room, facing a jury of Americans, looking at a clear view of his criminal acts. We have better things to work on. CLIMATE CHANGE!!!

While we focus our attention on the Trump-Epstein continuum, an issue that should be handled by the criminal justice system, larger and more pressing issues go unaddressed. Floods, heat, super-storms should remind us that the planet we live on is changing rapidly. We don't survive without change.

Epstein and the powerful, yet puny, men he served with young girls are disgusting exemplars of not just toxic masculinity, but even more accurately, representatives of the casually cruel sociopathy typical of the ultra wealthy. We all exist to serve their desires. We don't matter beyond that.

Keep reminding yourself that MAGA ain't 'Merica. MAGA's a mind fuck that pulled 30% off track.

ICE was just funded to the level of the 11th largest MILITARY on the planet. WTF!!! Questions: Does Miranda apply to ICE detentions? If not, does ICE somehow know that they're not dealing with a US citizen/legal resident when they act? If not, how are they immune from legal consequences. Sue them!

For two consecutive days, Trump has been asked "who directed a halt to weapons deliveries to Ukraine," and for the second time Trump doesn't know who did that. Who the hell is running this country? Who is the shadow government doing things without authorization? Trump's living at the 19th hole.

Unemployment has always been a flawed metric. Here's the straight dope on the payroll numbers that reveal how the job market is actually imploding. Grateful to @meidastouch.com for the platform to disseminate this info widely.

The Proud Boys are suing the federal government for $100 million from taxpayers to spread more chaos, more violence, and more hate. Sign the petition! sign.moveon.org/petitions/te...

Maybe Trumpie could move some of that massive cash haul he pulled in for ICE over to NOAA and NWS. I just heard today that they launch 20% fewer weather balloons (the only source of winds aloft data), making prediction models unstable. Not enough data! That's not efficient! Fucking morons.

IRS stated in a Texas court filing today (7/7) that tax exempt churches can now directly support and promote political candidates and issues to their congregants. Cards on table - I'm a deconstructed former Evangelical. This ruling is corrupt and will further entangle religion and government.

The Republicans (and only Republicans) who passed Trump's agenda will rue the day. They are all elected and can be unelected. I'm all about it, laser focused. My Republican Rep is getting turned out. Do the same for yours.

The WORST part of the Big Bullshit Bill is the mandate to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to consider crypto currency holdings as assets available to back mortgages. This is a direct benefit to Trump, who holds a huge store of his crap coin $TRUMP that he can now leverage into real assets! 😦

Discussion prompt: Since the Senate passed the BBB, I'm thinking about how to work around the work requirements for Medicare. Here's my best idea (so far): set up volunteer nonprofits to provide unemployed people an opportunity to show the 20 hours weekly requirement. Community coop. Please thrash.

Congress needs to rescind the general "authorization for use of military force" (AUMF). There is no military emergency and absolutely no reason for Congress to not debate and declare wars. We need to restore the constitutional order!

Kevin Kiley being an idiot - and this guy is Yale law! youtube.com/shorts/nbFT2...

Rasputin, Miller style.

People, realize where you fit in and what your one and only power is. You are a laborer. You own your time and trade it as work. You may retract that. You may refuse to participate. That is your power. Refuse to work for a week. If we organize and all take a week off, this all stops.

Check out this video on the LA protest yesterday showing outrageous police misconduct. youtu.be/tyiEOpVVnF0?...

Make sure every site on social media sees this. This is the guy who’s DEPORTING the damn janitors!!!!

Senator Alex Padilla addressing the assault he suffered at the hands of Kristi Noem's goon squad. Ask yourself who elected her? youtu.be/P1GdIvGvpf0?...

Sly Stone, whose band Sly and the Family Stone electrified Woodstock audiences and introduced a genre-fusing brand of psychedelic funk with hits such as “Family Affair” and “Everyday People,” died June 9 at his home in California. He was 82.

In an attempt to divert eyes from the LA protests, Trump lined up a presser on the $1k "Trump Accounts". A box of ziti for every baby. This is the height of political theater and a gift to Wall Street that will increase inequality. But there's an even darker motive behind it all. #trumpAccounts

@truthindemocracy.bsky.social We all admire our military service members. They are trained to fight wars. They are not trained to enforce law. They don't know any more about that than the average civilian. Deploying them to LA is idiotic. Dictator Kayfabe.

Major General Mathew P. Beevers is the California Adjutant General. AG is the top commander of a state's National Guards (Army and AF). General Beevers complied with an illegal order from the President. 10 USC 12406 REQUIRES the order to process through the governor. Didn't happen. Illegal action.

Quincy CA Hands Off event. This is a small town, maybe 3000 in the area, but we ended up with around 300 or so. This video is 15 minutes before things got rolling with speakers. I had to land to avoid flying over people (not allowed). A bunch of Forest Service people here are out of work. #UNFTR

@swajdan.bsky.social Hi Dan, good to see you on Blue Sky.
