Interesting post this morning about the wake of Me Too

Look at it this way - I know the anxiety demon is lying, you did a great job, because you are 100x a better human being than this fer-sher influencer:

This degenerated into a bit of silliness, but there's a nut of truth here. Evangelical Christianity could once define their followers as warriors of kindness and compassion. That goes out the window as they let bullies and fools lead them.

You might get 4-1 blue with some terrible 'gerrymandered' borders, but 3-2 blue would be possible.

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"
Actually its mostly absurd and full of lies so obvious they don't need to be debunked. (h/t Brandunaware @lawgunsmoney.bsky.social )

Charlie Kirk and the Fascist Conception of Empathy Empathy for only the few is a tool of oppression.

“Remember, when they celebrate a man like Kirk they are calling everyone he oppressed, and every victim they mocked, a million slurs simultaneously. These past few weeks have been one of the loudest hard r n-bombs in American history.”

Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban Finally Called It Quits Well, this was a long time coming.

I saw the look on your face and body language when he said that phradse, and I knew the whuppin' was unsheathed

See my previous comment about a military coup.

The whole thing is worth listening, but at 34.30... TAKES OFF. ✨

Reading the live reactions this morning, I'm kinda wishing for a military coup right now.

Mine resurfaces from time to time, but I hear you.

Today's speech is exactly what one expects from someone who flounced from the Individual Ready Reserve due to his white supremacist tattoos

You catch Zach Nunn last night on KCCI? I refused to watch, but note that he didn't provide the documents either, but asserted we should believe him because he saw them.

JFC, the rules of engagement are the foundation of how the modern world defines fucking WAR CRIMES.

I’m really grateful for Pritzker. But that he’s so good at this also makes clear just how badly most other Democrats are failing to meet the moment.

You missed the softball of Utah Guv Spencer Cox doing a Rodney King moment at the top of the broadcast

He's just the high-profile example of what this administration wants to do to anyone they don't want here. They're doing it to hundreds of people everyday. It's disgusting and it's unfortunately going to work. /3

If he's not, he's got no chance at regaining any authorization to work *or* sponsorship by any school system in the US. Doesn't even require acknowledgement or argumentation of ICE's claims about his detainment. (I prefer the word kidnapping)/2

@laurarbelin.bsky.social - Anyway you look at it, Dr. Ian Roberts tenure is dead. If he's a citizen, he can't run the school system without a license, and even proof thereof of citizenship will likely take months for a politicized state government to recognize & reinstate him. /1

I hear ya.

A picture of a Lego set of Keith Haring dancing figures

@majeff.bsky.social
I had no idea Lego was going to produce this set.

Or for cause. The burden of proof is on him to prove that the knife and pistol ICE *were recorded taking out of the DMPS-issued vehicle* were not his. Anyone in possession of non-authorized weapons in a government vehicle is almost certainly losing their job. 3/3

A better word is probably deprivation, but ICE & the administration will make the maximum amount of anguish on him and us.
2) Des Moines Schools will likely terminate Roberts within a month or on that order. Either because he can't do his job (negotiated settlement) 2/3

At the end of the day, 2 things are clear in my current logic:
1) Barring an act of God, Dr. Ian Richards will be sent to Guyana or another extranational dumping ground ASAP after significant discomfort

Many smart phones now have eSIMs in their hardware. (I just learned this myself last week) While your eSIM is not how your cell company knows you, an eSIM means your phone may still identify you.

Yes - BRING BURNERS.
