You don't need to dunk on them. You don't need to repost them. All they care about is content and engagement, so don't give them what they want. In fact, you can do what I did and block them!

And there you have it. These strikes are clearly not legal. Pete will push commanders aside until he finds one who won’t question these extrajudicial killings. #SOUTHCOM

"They're lying about the protests... They're trying to deter people from showing up, but it's had the opposite effect."

No Thrones! No Crowns! #NoKings! Peaceful protest tomorrow!

lol i was just thinking- i already choose not to talk to my mother, why would i let a stranger talk to me that way?

people who earnestly try to argue that blocking certain accounts deprives u of important opposing viewpoints are assuming these certain accounts are posting in good faith
which is a dangerous assumption tbh

PNW Black Bloc is pretty legendary but if they start shit up before the kids go home I think it's fair to think of those doing it as hidden trump agitators or out of unformed ice/cops to create an excuse to push on crowds.

No real way to sort who is being stupid and who is trying to ruin on on this

If the #EpsteinFiles can take down a child rapist Prince then they can certainly take down a child rapist President.

When a White House press secretary uses dehumanizing language like this - labeling millions of Americans as “terrorists” or “criminals” - it crosses a line that should matter to everyone, regardless of party.

This should never be acceptable from the people who speak for the President of the USA.👇

Governors could order state policing agencies to arrest ICE and Homeland Security agents for breaking state laws like assault, menacing, rioting etc.

This Rubicon needs to be crossed sooner not later.

My opponent is “morally opposed” to same-sex marriage — and during our debate, she even said that opposing same-sex marriage is “not discrimination.”

These views aren’t just wrong, they’re out of touch — and Virginians deserve so much better.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

From testing to tracking - Washington clears backlog of Sexual Assault Kits WASHINGTON - Nearly 10,000 backlogged sexual assault kits (SAKs) now processed as Washington State facilities have received more funding and resources to address these cases.

WA just cleared its backlog of sexual assault kits, a HUGE win for survivors.
Thank you to our lawmakers and Democratic leaders for passing the legislation and funding that made this possible!

This is one of those posts I think about a lot now. Especially on a day when the White House press secretary replied "your mom" to an earnest question about peace negotiations.

It’s so goddamned racist but that’s what you get from the Party of Lie & Deny 🤷‍♀️

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

This summer, tens of thousands of Washingtonians took to the streets to take a stand for democracy.

Tomorrow, I encourage Washingtonians to make their voices heard, once again, peacefully.

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Long Covid Is Real -- And It's Changing an Entire Generation Long Covid is affecting hundreds of thousands of kids in America, and many doctors and schools refuse to recognize their illness.

“When you have a disability people can’t see, you don’t get the same level of empathy,” Joy says. “It feels like the world has moved on.”

Long Covid is setting back a generation of kids--likely against their federal rights

General reminder:

It is less important to be able to recognize that someone is a fed or other bad actor infiltrating your movement

Than it is to be able to recognize the bad advice or suggestions that they provide.

Bravo @mariashriver.bsky.social 👏

If you want some actual good crime news in your Friday news dump, I just got confirmation from the OCDA that my pre-filing diversion for my arrest for protesting is now complete and they will permanently refrain from filing criminal charges.

See you all at No Kings tomorrow!

To be unaware of one thing you don't wish to talk about is convenient.

To be unaware of *everything* you don't wish to talk about is either lying or incompetence. Or both.

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

Prince Andrew has been stripped of all his royal titles.

Exerts from Virginia Guthrie’s memoir, detailing her abuse by Andrew, played a role in his downfall. Tragically, she committed suicide last April.

It’s on all of us to make sure the other Epstein survivors get justice before it’s too late.

Despite this Court’s clear directives and assurances made to this Court, the government nevertheless claims that the DOJ personnel who publicly commented on the case are “Department of Justice employees who are not associated with this matter.” (Gov’t 10/8/25 Letter at 2.) This position is factually inaccurate and inconsistent with the Court’s instruction explicitly directed at the Attorney General and her subordinates. 2 There can be no doubt that the Attorney General of the United States herself is “associated” with Mr. Mangione’s case, as the Attorney General is the only individual in the DOJ authorized to seek the death penalty in any case. Moreover, the Attorney General has publicly stated that she herself was involved in this specific case as she publicly directed the Southern District of New York prosecutors to seek the death penalty against Mr. Mangione in an April 1, 2025, press release. 3 The Attorney General further explained her own reasons for doing so on April 6, 2025, stating the following on the Fox News Channel:

Luigi Mangione pushes back on DOJ claims that Pam Bondi is not covered by local rules on public statements by pointing out that she's the one who decided to go for the death penalty.
