I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Quebec puts US booze back on shelves β€” a decision that isn’t going down smoothly With $6.3 million worth of expiring American booze about to go bad, Quebec is putting US bottles back on the shelf β€” and the decision isn’t going down smoothly with some Canadians.

They've already paid for it. But they're not ordering more. Relax.

I almost feel bad for the DHS cronies down in the USA, they've been trying to generate footage like this for months to justify calling the protestors "violent"

In the USA all they've gotten are frog costumes and dildos thrown at them, they must be seething seeing this

I'm a Canadian who is watching avidly and honestly AOC (and Bernie) were the only ones on the front lines against what is turning into crimes against humanity x1000

There are a few others, including Murphy, who are starting to yell about everything, but too many are shrugging and looking away

This week at Democracy Docket: Trump wants to β€˜take over’ voting, while GOPers unveil a massive new suppression measure Steve Bannon and Mike Johnson welcomed Trump's comments about taking control of elections. And a new Republican anti-voting bill could disenfranchise millions.

President Donald Trump kicked off the week with one of his clearest statements yet that, with polls looking bad for the GOP, he wants to take control of this year’s elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

My goal as a parent was always to raise better men than me

I just received a video from one son of my other son juggling dildos outside the Whipple Building

There are many things I could have done better but I can't really argue with the results

Throw out everyone but AOC

... and maybe a handful of known helpers (people that actually seem to give a shit about the people they represent)

If you (like me) have to

a) take a few pills each day, and
b) forget to stay hydrated,

here's how I trick myself: I take each pill separately and with a glass of water (a Β½ glass will also help). That's three glasses of water in your body already. Daily.

When I was young - maybe 2009 or so - I remember watching a conspiracy video about how the world was run by a secret group of elite powerful men

Of course it was all about the illuminati and such.

Now I'm like "oh they were right, in a way"

I checked this myself and screencapped the memo off of the DOJ website.

Then I double and triple checked that Epstein did indeed die on Saturday the 10th

So, you know, whatever, it's not like anything will be done - but Epstein definitely didn't kill himself.

The memes were correct

Honest question: What's the point? A bunch of that group would lie under oath

The only person I think who might not lie is Clinton (the wife, not Bill, who lied about a BJ a billion years ago)

7 year old Diana Crespo-Gonzalez was sick and in need of urgent medical care.

ICE grabbed her and her parents on their way to the hospital.

They threw her in Dilley, the same facility that held Liam Ramos.

Tonight she’s free.

Now we keep fighting until every child is free.
