Sorry for your loss.
Probably more their loss- but also their choice. 😿

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

I’m largely agnostic/Episcopagan, but I will fucking pray for Dolly.

Over 75% of content removal decisions by platforms like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube were successfully reversed through appeals enabled under the EU’s Digital Services Act. www.euractiv.com/news/tiktok-...

NYT published an opinion today by Christopher Caldwell of the Claremont Institute. The Heritage Foundation cited Caldwell in a March article titled: "Trump Is Bringing About a Regime Change Not Seen Since 1933."

Is this the New York Times or Völkischer Beobachter?

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

Lawless Russell Vought thinks he can nullify a law by deleting it from an FAQ

"Bucking tradition" is wearing white after labor day, this MFer is shredding the Constitution and tearing the Union apart.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov
Swear @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social in & LFG!
Get a federal judge & get it done!

The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You? Read more here.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

No, what I have is enough historic context to know that fascism isn’t just the next stop down the road from conservativism. It is its own beast, fundamentally distinct from other forms of conservativism that have heretofore dominated US politics. Bush and Reagan weren’t fascists. Trump is

Trump’s State Department Wants to Use Tech Policy to Remake Europe In Its Image | TechPolicy.Press Tech policy is a key part of the Trump administration's dramatic project to replace the US's traditional European alliances, Dean Jackson writes.

A secret meeting with X. A senior State Dept. advisor just out of college. The VP's speech in Munich. Pressure on European regulators.

What do they share? They're all part of an agenda to turn the transatlantic alliance into a far right international:

If you didn't realize this earlier, this latest action by the Administration amply demonstrates it does not have the back of federal workers.

@petersagal.bsky.social did the brain snatchers come by this week or what?

Buckeye butterfly on marigolds, in sienna & bright orange.

Welcome back. I’m not incredibly chatty, but I do read you & pay attention, & am grateful you are here.

Suspended for repeating part of a very common (if bonkers) belief system. C’mon @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app let’s not make this into The Bad Place.

Unlike Jesus, I have returned.

Ummm, as a combat vet I dispute anyone having the power to order summary execution. That is a war crime with enormous penalties for a very good reason

@nytimes.com falls further into fascism.
This narcissistic addict & used car salesman, hair WAAAY too long & greasy for any squared-away Soldier, is a turd of a human being.
Anyone falling for that, needs to quit their job as a journalist.
Yes.

Stephen Miller explodes on CNN host over Portland, Chicago national guard deployments Trump’s chief strategist gets irate when pressed on whether ICE officers are targeting people based on race

Wormtongue Stephen Miller slithered onto CNN again, hissing that “Black people in Chicago are thrilled” to see his ICE raids. He spits lies like venom, feeding on cruelty, certain that fear will make him powerful. But every empire that serves hate ends the same way: ash in its servant’s mouth.

WHITEHOUSE: Do you know if the FBI found photographs of Trump with half-naked young women in their search of Epstein's safe or premises?

BONDI: You're trying to slander President Trump when you're the one who was taking money from one of Epstein's closest confidants. I could be wrong. Correct me.

@npr.org If you wuss out, our donations are GONE.
That would break so many hearts.. the last bastion of truth in reporting.
We should see more @colbertlateshow.bsky.social “Stephen Unchained” kind of reporting.

Miles was chief of staff at DHS in Trump’s first term 👇🏽

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Two people whose original claims to fame were that the other staffers at the New York Times thought they were whiny weirdos.

One felt "ostracized" because he liked Chik fil A, the other quit because she was "bullied" there.

They're the poster children for self-imposed cancel culture martyrdom.

Sounds like what @PamBondi said without getting caught up in using the words is that the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women.
