I came to Bluesky today just to see Tom Nichols nerding out on Fallout. You did not disappoint. My family is watching the finale tonight.

I wanted Indiana to win because as a Hokie, I hate Miami.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Also evident from the photo of her vehicle showing the bullet hole in the left side of the windshield towards the edge.

Yes, it would require Congressional approval if this was an administration that followed the rule of law. But it doesn’t. In these VF interviews, Wiles also stated it was not her job to stop Trump if he disagreed with her. She’s a yes man, as are the rest of them.

What in the ever loving fuck has he done

Except he just pardoned the Honduran president…

So before starting cancer treatments, a patient should comparison shop for the best price on chemo?!? If I need heart surgery, do I need to price shop for every part of the procedure - the hospital, the anesthesiologist, the surgeon, the aftercare??

This is exactly right

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

I know to vote strategically so I held my nose and voted for Jones. The next four years matter too much.

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

Dictator chic.

Thank you for the explanation re: voting against interests vs looking at where interest lies. Essentially people want to have more in common with the moneyed elite than the poor, so they vote for parties/policies that will hurt the poor. Perception vs. reality.

Oooh, I know the answers to all of those!!! Yet, I recognize I’m probably in the minority.

This makes me so sad. Not the Fiji part; I’d love to travel to Germany to see the Christmas markets but I don’t have thousands laying around. But that the normal things people want (home ownership, marriage, student debt relief) seem out of reach for so many.

The path to one party rule in the House.

Ex-special counsel John Durham undercut case against James Comey in interview with prosecutors: Sources John Durham, who investigated the Russia probe, told prosecutors probing James Comey that had been unable to uncover evidence supporting charges against him, sources say.

Durham indicted three people over the course of his years-long investigation. One took a plea. The two others went to trial and were acquitted. So that’s the guy who felt there was no evidence against Comey

At least some people are thriving in Donald Trump’s economy. How about you?

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

I’m not generally the sort of person to say “hahaha fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you” BUT

This is horrific.

It’s because the US is the best. And the best costs more.

Sen. @ossoff.bsky.social : “Here are some things that happened just in the last couple of weeks…”

Not the obituary I wanted to read today.

JASON!!! Why?!?

Dude, I’m 49. Financial security is HOT. Maybe on the dating apps you should mention you have a retirement plan, health insurance, and a big credit score.
