I’m not on this platform often as I had to take a break from the firehose of posts sharing WTF info like this, but… WTF. I also saw the accusation of “Sedition” and questioned reality because I wasn’t sure if it was a real post or an Onion article. This timeline is terrible and I want to go home.

From the 50501 community on Reddit: Got this misleading shit in the mail today as a democratic voter. WTF. Explore this post and more from the 50501 community

Reddit user did a deeper dive into who is behind this misleading mailer: www.reddit.com/r/50501/comm...

I received this mailer the other day and immediately put it out n my recycling bin. I dug it back out because the League of Women Voters just came out and said they do not endorse it. Didn’t approve their quote being used on the mailer.
Fuck them.

Trump Administration Live Updates: F.B.I. Searches Home and Office of John Bolton, a Former Trump Adviser

John Bolton spoke against Trump (his former boss) and is now being investigated: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

I’m sure my neighbors are getting worried about all the “WTF!” shouting that has been coming from my house when I read about actions or comments regarding this administration.

Trump administration confirms plans to reopen Alcatraz The prison on Alcatraz shut down in 1963 due to its high operating costs related to its remote location and the worsening condition of many of its structures.

Oh for fuck's sake. Anything to avert attention from the Epstein files. I haven't gone on a tour out there in over 20 yrs, but it is *literally* crumbling. We suspect they are just going to raze it and rebuild w/loyal developers. www.ktvu.com/news/trump-administration-confirms-plans-reopen-alcatraz

For those not familiar with Alcatraz tours, visiting is free. The ticket you buy is for the boat ride from Alcatraz City Cruises, the approved vendor awarded the contract from NPS.

AG Pam Bondi visiting Alcatraz to announce reopening plans as Pelosi blasts 'stupidest' idea Top Trump administration officials are in San Francisco visiting Alcatraz, expected to announce plans to reopen the federal penitentiary, as Nancy Pelosi called it Trump's "stupidest initiative yet."

The most expensive free tour of Alcatraz :/ Can we make them all just swim back to the city?

And official US government website regarding "supporting" veterans: www.fns.usda.gov/military-vet...
And the official commissary website notice under "methods of payment" corp.commissaries.com/customer-ser....

The Military and Food Stamps Can military members receive federal food assistance?

Funding 4 absolutely necessary progs have been either slashed/eliminated &military budgets have increased. Don't be fooled that svc members are benefiting. Lrg# of them are on food assist progs. This is from'22, but I have seen the notices at the commissary 1st hand: www.military.com/paycheck-chr...

The BART ride into the city is an explosion of rainbows 🌈. Happy Pride y’all!

I’m on the same train car as Frank Chu. It has been YEARS since I’ve seen him out. Apparently he took a fall on BART station stair and suffered a major spine injury. It doesn’t look like he has made a full recovery :(
I only noticed him because someone jackass took his photo (flash camera)

A couple just boarded the BART train armed with a bottle of hand sanitizer and paper towels and scrubbed their chosen chairs before sitting down. O.o. Now the whole car smells horrible :/

I will be in the heart of the Mission District due to a previous commitment, but will attempt to attend a protest during my break. Even if I can only be there for a short time - numbers matter.

OMG, Nathan Lane and Alan Cummings should totally do this adaptation!
h/t to @isarav.bsky.social for sharing this delicious post. I've only read a couple of interactions between Dumpty and Ketamine Sith Lord, but maaaaan, the meltdown is epic.

Trump says he is naming Fox News host and former judge Jeanine Pirro as top federal prosecutor in DC President Donald Trump says he is naming Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, a former county prosecutor and elected judge, to be the top federal prosecutor for the nation’s capital after abandoning his first...

Considering that Trump is (supposedly) a teetotaler, interesting that he is filling his positions with known alcoholics 🙄

I think at this point, my first aid certificate has more weight as a medical expert than anyone being nominated for surgeon-general.

Trump says he will reopen Alcatraz prison President Donald Trump says he is directing his government to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the notorious former prison on a California island that has been closed for more than 60 years.

I thought this was a Facebook rumor until I found an article on AP News: apnews.com/article/trum...
There was a reason why they closed it in the 60's - It was too expensive to maintain. While it is a popular tourist destination, only the ferry company makes $ to transport tourists there & back.

I suspect that this will be happening (if not currently happening) in the central valley farms soon. I bet California has a giant political target on it from the over-saturated suntan lotion wearing toddler in the White House.

They are still online - look up “deadegos .org”. Apparently their goal is to be the number one blocked account on bsky 🙄

Sigh. We already knew that Lindsay Graham was a bootlicking tool, but this confirms that he has lost his damn mind.

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

Screenshot added to include the url where I found the image.

Apparently the orange puppet has a trading card of himself that he showed off at the Easter Egg Roll. It is a picture of him after he was shot & blood was running down his ear. HE SHOWED IT TO CHILDREN. If you would like a copy of the picture, Getty Images is selling it.

Why does this look like the cover of a direct to DVD movie?
I am floored how this is an official government website.

When we used to live in the Haight (and hung out in Upper Haight) in SF, people would mingle through the crowds mumbling “buds, doses, $10”. My spouse encountered that yesterday - only it was “Eggs - $10”

ACLU took their live recording app offline earlier this yr. Does anyone have any recommendations for live broadcasting that can be recorded? Should I just go ahead and install the TikTok app? Is Instagram still a good option?

This hasn't been posted on @altnps.bsky.social account yet, but they are issuing warnings about ICE agents and tactics they are using. Weeks ago we took FaceID off our phones and switched to passcode only. www.facebook.com/AltUSNationa...

I picked up a copy of Margaret Atwood's "The Testaments" from a neighbor's Little Library just as she was walking out the door.
"Ah! Getting the new history book?"
We live in terrifying times where fiction is playing out to become fact in all the wrong ways.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.
