I follow an account of a person who is a sailor. While on a research voyage between Labrador and Greenland over a year ago, he caught fragments of a song followed by numbers repeated in a woman's voice on the ship's radio. It absolutely sounded like the numbers station of yore

Trump doesn’t give a crap about the health and safety of the National Guard. It’s a photo op for a man addicted to power and chaos.

ICE isn’t rounding up migrants at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ meatpacking plants. They're provoking riots in Los Angeles.

I wonder, is this provocation laying the groundwork for a pretext to declare martial law?

And then I remember all those many tanks shipped to DC, the home of so many protests.

What? You disbelieve the 3 members of Congress who were present when this arrest took place? Do you also doubt that the Congreeman and women who were present were shoved and propelled backwards by face mask wearing "ICE agents" in civilian clothing and wearing vests emblazoned with "Police" on them?

Opinion: Bluesky is a dangerous echo chamber because no one wants to hear from me, specifically They just… blocked me. Like I’m some kind of annoyance, rather than the iconoclastic and fascinating truth-teller which I know myself to be.

I guess they do have a collection of classic children's books. They're likely taking offense at books like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or The Diary of Anne Frank. They are not just evil, they are insane

I was thinking this very thing today. These will be private prisons, and judges will be pressured to incarcerated people who come before the courts for drug and even minor legal infractions if drug use is a concern. I'd like more treatment centre's, but not involuntary and not for-profit

A tweet from "Covie" (@covie_93) that reads:
"Speaker Mike Johnson from the great state of 'Louisnana' wants to get rid of the Department of Education."

Below the tweet is an image of a large blue curtain featuring an emblem with a pelican and the words "SUPREME COURT" and "CONFIDENCE." The word "LOUISNANA" is prominently misspelled instead of "LOUISIANA." The mistake is highlighted with a red circle. In the foreground, three judges in black robes are seated at a table.
