Hey @bsky.app ... don't become just a slightly less shitty version of X / Meta.

Trump considers cutting US refugee intake to 7,500, focusing on white South Africans, officials say President Donald Trump is considering admitting far fewer refugee into the U.S. this year – as few as 7,500, and mostly white Afrikaners.

... sounds about white ...

As justices confront harassment, death threats and an assassination attempt, Barrett declares "I'm not afraid" In an interview with CBS News, Justice Amy Coney Barrett said of the Supreme Court's emergency orders in the Trump cases, "This isn't the final decision."

As you read this puff piece about how brave and steadfast Amy Coney Barrett is, keep in mind that the house of South Carolina circuit court judge Diane Goodstein exploded over the weekend and some of her family members barely escaped with their lives. She had recently ruled against the admin.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate. We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops. I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

Without a fucking doubt, this is all intentional provocation - if not for all out war, for the pretext to declare Martial Law. This is absolutely an intentional incitement to provoke violence.

No fucking way this is simply a coincidence. The “right” is a violent terrorist group.

This is fascism.
Trump is a fascist.
The GOP is the Nazi party of the US.

That’s the headline.

World+ HERTA MÜLLER "In Gaza, the Queers for Palestine would not survive for half an hour." By Jan Philipp Burgard Editor-in-Chief WELT Group As of 04.10.2025 | Reading time: 11 minutes

She’s not wrong as Israel would exterminate them just as Israel exterminates everyone.

It’s the same stupid argument for the past decade. These people think that Queer Palestinians don’t exist, that they’re not also being starved to death and bombed from the skies by that genocidal state.

He has no intention of leaving office alive. He has the full throated support of the GOP to remain in power, and to use any violent actions necessary to do it. He is trying to start a war within now, to proclaim Martial Law, and erase elections altogether. This has been his plan all along.

It was clear from the beginning that ICE staffing up was going to be a full employment program for racists, barroom bullies and wife beaters

Fascism.

We live in a fascist dictatorship. Period. The use of federal forces and the military on civilian population is another MASSIVE red flag.

Trump, himself, is “untethered to the facts.”

Once again, not a drag queen or trans person.

I’ve been saying this all along; Trump and his ilk keep getting away with their insane actions because NOBODY is holding them accountable in any way. They ignore the SCOTUS and lower courts because nobody is getting arrested or going to jail. Saying “no, or I’ll say ‘no’ again” ain’t it.

Today, I tried to spin lightly on an even smaller gear than last night … and it somehow felt huge with very tired legs.

Pedaling to stay sane … whether it’s working or not.

Last night was first night of our “official” winter Hour of Power workouts, with the race season now done. For our first night, we had just over 40 riders. An excellent turnout. Now that I’m in the gym pushing more plates around, I geared WAY down … and it was a brutal hour of being spun out.

Welcome to Trumpistan.

A federal judge in Oregon has granted a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard into Portland after the president announced he would send in troops to protect what he calls a "war-ravaged" city. https://cnn.it/3Wk4t38

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard members to Portland over the governor's objections.

This decision reinforces one of our country's core principles: The military has no place policing our communities.

MORE: Immergut issued a stark warning that the efforts by Trump to make a bad-faith justification to call up the guard risked plunging the country into a form of unconstitutional military rule.

Fascism Example No. 3,972: Full J. Diaper ordering his Gestapo losers to conduct illegal arrests for crimes that don’t exist

this is what happens when people who have never been oppressed a second of their lives try to invent oppression

Thread.

To my friends in and around Chicago, please be safe as Trump attempts to start a war there. He wants to see body bags filled with American citizens, killed by US military.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Fuck Meta. Fuck AI.

Trump acting like a fascist, quoting Hitler, and being racist.

The world: Trump is a racist fascist.

MAGA: How dare you call our Daddy a racist fascist! Go back to where you came from! Also we're going to get you fired and cancelled and investigate you as a terrorist!

Tried, and then imprisoned.

Good stuff
