Honest to god the biggest scam in America right now is whatever Dem consultants are being paid

NBC news: The discussions come as Trump has sought to deploy National Guard troops in several major cities — including Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland, Oregon — saying they’re needed to reduce crime and protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials from protesters. Critics have said that the Trump administration is exaggerating issues in those cities.

no they're LITERALLY exaggerating this issue. there is absolutely no data backing up their claims. ffs just say that!!

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence.

Fact checking is not going to do shit.

Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.

We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.

@grahamformaine.bsky.social is a refreshing & hopeful note in dark times. If he can win the nomination he should easily beat Collins.

bluesky desperately needs a competent comms team

having random devs fling off the cuff retorts at pissed off trans folk ain't it

All these suspensions are... a really bad omen, to put it lightly

I think Greta Thunberg deserves a @NobelPrize and more.
But what she really wants is an end to the starvation, maiming and killing of Gaza’s entrapped and helpless civilians, - and of course the respect and care our Earth requires

Just dug this up as a clear example of fitting a complex nuanced narrative into a single social media post for my masterclass in public science engagement using online tools

its funny how not a single actual journalist has been like, “actually she’s good at journalism”

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

Full harvest Moon, small telescope view.

Nice video! Irresistibly photogenic last night.

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote.

Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Kat Abughazaleh is taking on ICE—and running for Congress Kat Abughazaleh has a clear goal: Get into Congress, do some good, “get some fascists out,” and then go back home to hang out with her cat. And the road to next year’s Democratic primary election for ...

1 to 2 Starlink satellites are falling back to Earth each day

"There are currently one to two Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every day ... Soon, McDowell told us, there will be up to 5 satellite reentries per day." 😳

I have so much respect for Greta Thunberg because she easily could have coasted on speaking gigs and Davos appearances for the rest of her life

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Lately I've been doing sequence edits of pelicans diving, but for the marine life feed hitting 2k likes, how about a NEARLY FULL BODY HUMPBACK BREACH sequence? 🦑

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

Screenshot of a tweet from the House Press Gallery: "The Chair announced the Speaker's designation of Tuesday, Oct. 7 through Monday, Oct. 13 as a district work period."

Reopening the government isn’t a Republican priority.

Protecting Trump from the release of the Epstein files is.

It's worrisome how familiar people are with the famous Martin Niemöller poem, "First They Came," but how little they appreciate its message. Americans are witnessing the illegal, inhumane, and tyrannical treatment of immigrants, but are largely passive because they aren't personally targeted (yet).

Exactly.

I think it's important to remember at certain points that this Administration has accomplished absolutely nothing.

They got some tax cuts, they've done a bunch of choreographed immigration raids, killed a bunch of people by cutting and closing agencies, and droned some boats. That's literally it.

Yeah that does sound like a good thing, and the cartoon folks look happy.

Want to eat more plant-based meals? Maggie Baird, Billie Eilish's mom, has some ideas Have you heard replacing meat with plant-based foods is better for the planet and can be better for your health too, but you don’t know where to start?

“Nothing else on a pound-for-pound basis, except maybe refrigerants, comes close to the polluting power of beef. That doesn’t mean everyone has to be vegan tomorrow, but the goal should be to trim back high-polluting parts of one’s diet" - @globalecoguy.bsky.social
