As a congressional appointee, I was "following orders" from an unelected bureaucrat. They all deserve a trial

Would you like me to put together a list of reasons why you shouldn't keep it or maybe I can dive deeper into why Gandalf's actions threaten your ring?

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

ICE murdered RenΓ©e Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Trump won the FIFA peace prize about six weeks ago. Since then he's bombed, invaded, and threatened several countries. Now he "no longer feels an obligation to think purely of Peace"

Make it make sense

Watching @flintdibble.bsky.social's video about the mess with Rogan put a lot of pseudoarcheaology debunking videos into my recs, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of claiming the pyramids weren't tombs when there was a strange period of Europeans eating bits of mummies as "medicine."

Plato Censored as Texas A&M Carries Out Course Review A&M officials have also instructed English faculty not to teach books in core classes that have major plotlines concerning gay, lesbian or transgender identities.

Plato has been silenced. Government censorship is alive and well in the USA

Disgusting hypocrisy from people who pretend to be for free speech

In a world dominated by AI & disinformation, I expect we will see a major pendulum swing culturally. People will crave authenticity and reality over deep fakes and conspiracist lies

@flintdibble.bsky.social Dear Sir, I have recently had the good fortune to come across your channel and greatly enjoyed your archeology videos as well as your firm pushback against pseudo science garbage. Keep up the good fight and if you are ever in London first pints on me.

Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."
