Hegseth may have just handed @captmarkkelly.bsky.social
the next Presidency. If so, it would stand as his only positive achievement as Secretary of Defense.

Happy Epstein-Files-Release-Deadline Eve, to all who observe! 🎁

Martial Law.

It’s the elephant in the room.

It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them.

It’s what the authoritarian in this White House is setting the stage for.

I hope it doesn't take 45 years for the majority of Americans to realize that this is an incredibly shameful period of history we're living through, and I hope it's not too late for us to correct course.

Human beings make remarkably unethical and counterproductive decisions when they act based on fear and anger. It literally interferes with the part of your brain capable of logical thinking. 🧵⬇️

Fast forward to 1988, by which time "The War Relocation Authority" was so widely-recognized as abhorrent that the Reagan-era government passed the Civil Liberties Act to formally apologize and issue reparations to the survivors and/or their descendants. 🧵⬇️

It's worth noting that the last time the Alien Enemies Act was used was during WWII, to justify putting Japanese, German, and Italian Americans into internment camps. A poll taken in 1942 said that 59% of Americans supported the existence of those camps. 🧵⬇️

What Courts Can Do If the Trump Administration Defies Court Orders Judges have a range of tools for enforcing their orders in the face of noncompliance.

The Trump administration willfully defied a court order to turn those planes around. Criminal contempt charges need to follow. These people are going to get progressively more brazen with their power grabs unless there are consequences for their behavior.

A Vaccine For Pancreatic Cancer Continues To Show Promise In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease had no relapse three years later.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

I told you from the beginning that I was happy to hang out and waste your time. Not sure what you're getting out of this, TBH.

Literally no one but you think you're coming out ahead here. 😂 Honestly, I doubt anyone else is ever reading this, so I'm not sure who you're even trying to impress.

It's fun when conservatives miss the point so badly that the resulting insult attempts are so off the mark you can't even see them flying by.

Haha yo that's not even a phrase, unless you're comparing me to U.S. education initiatives.

Stop trying to make fetch happen.

Well now you've managed to be unhinged and boring AF at the same time, which is such a disappointing combo. You claimed to have me figured out, but I've been speaking to you for less than an hour, and I already predicted this dull-ass response in my most last comment.

I guess I could add more laughing faces to joke easier to identify, but then it might not be as fun for you to do the SuperCoolBoi®️ thing of responding to sarcasm as if it's literal. I'm a generous woman and wouldn't want to deprive you of the small joys you have in life.

Aww you nailed it. Every angry, triggered person starts their comment with "meh." It's an acronym for "Me Extremely Hostile." 🙏

Meh. Why would I give a shit about someone else's gender? Sorry I'm not pathology obsessed with what in other people's pants like y'all are. Ironic that the "don't tread on me" crowd is so preoccupied with telling everyone else how to live, isn't it?

You literally sound like a satirical version of someone making fun of Republicans.

Are you trying to sound like AI programmed with phrases scraped from uneducated, conservative 20-year old edge lords on Reddit? If so, well done, sir. 👏

Wait, ignore that. I'm totally triggered. Please spend the several hours "owning" me cuz I'm a desperate loser liberal. I'm so saddddddd. 😭😭😭😭😭

Aaahahaha dude, I replied to you for the same reason I replied to the text message phishing scam I got from a Kinsasha-based phone number today. 🤣 It's moderately entertaining, and I'm happy to temporarily distract crappy people from harming others, when I have the time and energy to do so.

I don't think you understand what unbothered means. 😆 If merely replying means I'm "bothered" then that would also prove that you're"bothered" by me, wouldn't it? 🤔

I also lock in like a B.S.-seeking missile on people who attempt to deflect from the fact that their nonsense has been publicly acknowledged.

So let me just reiterate...

WE NOTICED.

Oh how unfortunate for you that you haven't met me in person! I'm incredibly intelligent, witty, compassionate, and a delight to be around! I am also absolutely unbothered by internet trolls, so you are cordially invited to waste an infinite amount of time attempting to hurt my feelings. 😘

Whataboutism is a logical fallacy ("tu quoque"), as well as a tacit acknowledgement that you also find fault with the behavior being pointed out, so much so that can't even directly defend it and resort to comparing it to someone else's bad behavior.

We noticed. 👀

Even if they maintain plausible deniability on this by not actively killing people, they will eventually get to a point where they "allow" people to die by neglect, if we let that happen.

Stay loud. Don't give up. There are more good people than bad, and will win this fight if we work together.

Venezuelan deported from US and held in Guantanamo for 15 days says it was ‘hell’ | CNN José Daniel Simancas Rodríguez was one of 177 Venezuelans that the US deported and sent to its naval base in Guantanamo, Cuba. He said his 15-day detention was unbearable and compared it to “hell.”

They're trying to overwhelm you. *Please* don't become numb to the fact that America is in the early stages of forming concentration camps.

What a different world we could have.

People did vote for her. She won the popular vote by a larger margin than Trump did last year. Her voters just happened to live in places where their votes counted less than the others. 😕

In these trying times, I do still find joy in informing Trump supporters that he won last year's popular vote by a smaller margin than Hillary Clinton won it in 2020. It's especially satisfying after someone describes his election as a "mandate."
