Let's try this again πŸ‘‹

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, β€œRepublicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”.

Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists.

Name them, record them, and make it public.

If a president chooses to violate treaty obligations for a "psychological" need, he is psychologically unfit to hold office.

From NYTimes interview:
"When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he (Trump) said: 'Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success.'"

White House’s Stephen Miller suggests the U.S. is entitled to Greenland For all the talk about the Monroe Doctrine, we really ought to discuss a different 19th century concept: Manifest Destiny.

For all of the recent White House talk about the Monroe Doctrine, a different 19th-century concept β€” Manifest Destiny β€” should be part of the same conversation.

Instead of eying US expansion to the Pacific, Team Trump apparently believes we’re destined to control the entire hemisphere.

I haven't heard talking heads raising the possibility that Trump just wanted to have a special operations success because Obama sent the Seals after Bin Laden. So much of Trump's actions are due to Obama occupying his head.

The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/

But on 12/1/25, Trump pardoned convicted drug trafficker/former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando HernΓ‘ndez, who went to trial in the US & was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

And Vance saying the OIL part out loud as if we didn’t know that all along.

The fact that MSNow invites John Bolton for offering insight on the Venezuelan kidnapping is an indictment of its editorial decisions.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

The combination of unique politics, climate change, and bad luck have brought a true drought emergency to Tehran.

"Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that Tehran’s residents would have to ration waterβ€”and eventually evacuate the capitalβ€”if there was no rain by late November."

🌊 What is the Meridional Overturning Circulation
and why is it important?

The Meridional Overturning Circulation (#MOC) – critical for transporting heat, carbon, oxygen and nutrients across the globe – is weakening under climate change.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

Limits on federal student loans to go into effect next year If you hit your federal student loan limit in the first year or two of a three-or four-year program, your only option will be private loans.

Beyond a continuation of the assault on access to education, this will clearly limit the number of doctors and other professionals.
