A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean

National Nurses United Called For Firing Or Resignation Of RFK Jr "RFK Jr's tenure at HHS has been one disaster after another, dangerously eroding public trust in the institutions critical for the health and safety of all Americans. Time for him to go.ā www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nation...
Newsom responds to Trumpās odd post announcing he is going to bed early
Feel so badly for him
UPDATE: A federal judge has barred the Trump administration from deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children overnight, halting the effort while many of them sat on the tarmac in El Paso ā and maybe have, in one case, been in the air. t.co/4QRs4oLf0G
DHS tried to deport hundreds of minors on a Sunday, during a holiday weekend, despite a court order explicitly forbidding them to do so. No low level bureaucrat would do this without explicit directions from the top. Charge Noem and her direct subordinates with contempt RIGHT NOW.
Judge Sooknanan: And I tried to reach the government. I have been up since then..and didn't reach anyone from the government until later this morning. And the imminence that the plaintiff claimed proved true, because, in fact, those planes *were* loaded. One actually took off and was returned.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Really tho - they should
He looks very puffy today - and worse than usual- which is already really bad
A scientist who resigned from the CDC this week warned that RFK Jr. has shown signs he believes in eugenics.
To be clear- I love Sark. Just wish someone would work with him on goal line offense is all
Last offensive series not on Arch tho. Sarks goal line offensive calls- consistently awful and always the same
Ukraine: Russian hitman disguised as a courier assassinated Andriy Parubiy in Lviv today. City on lock down, manhunt underway. Parubyi was the commandant of the Euromaidan protests against Yanukovich & Russia through 2014, coordinated volunteer security corps for the protesters.
There has to be SOME offensive coach work with Sark on his offensive goal line plays. Year after year - same thing - same play- over and over and over . So sad
Adorable!!
A new level of cruel? Trump is illegally withholding child care grants for parents in collegeā Forcing them into an impossible choice: drop out or take on more debt. Iām demanding an investigation. These funds that Congress already approved must be released immediately.
Federal agents detained two firefighters in Washington state... ...while the firefighters were in the middle of fighting one of the largest wildfires in the country. Under Trumpās regime, cruelty takes precedence over everything else.
Iām not sharing this to scare peopleāthough itās fucking terrifying. Iām sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We wonāt be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific backgroundā¦
Itās not a bold move- itās a weak ass move for a man who cannot handle not being the one in total control.
BERMAN: When might you call for the National Guard in Shreveport? The FBI stats show there's more violent crime there than DC JOHNSON: There's a lot of good work that's been done. We have a Democrat DA there who has not been prosecuting crime as some other more aggressive DAs have. Soros funded him
Maybe stop resigning and stand in there and fight. THAT would truly be a benefit to public health.
Shared with me via DM: Firefighters arrested fighting a wildfire in WAā too close to the border and insufficient id while on the fireline? Youāve got to be kidding. Are we feeling great again?
ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

Experts on voting warned that Heather Honeyās appointment could erode trust between state and federal officials, prompting states not to share information with the agency. One election official called her involvement with DHS ādeeply troubling.ā By @dougbockclark.bsky.social
You canāt make this up. Trump allegedly has covert operators on the ground in Greenland: www.cnn.com/2025/08/27/e...
The Florida panther, whooping crane, and manatee are some of Americaās most vulnerable species, Lois Parshley reports. Now the Trump administration's proposed changes may drive them to extinction.
Not sure- I wouldnāt mind living there! Itās so nice
last night was a bleak one for TX legislature history. dan patrick literally denied senate democrats the ability to filibuster redistricting, even though rules allow it. roland gutierrez asked what precedent there was for this. patrick didn't even bother to answer. that's how the map passed.
Reminder: Trump's DOJ transferred Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security prison AFTER these interviews.
Donald Trump is going to try to rig the outcome of the 2026 election because he is an authoritarian and that is what authoritarians do. I don't know if I should say it louder or softer, but people need to pay attention and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...
"If you want to have a coup against the constitutional order, you want to control the capital city. And if he has control of the policing in the city of Washington...Who's gonna tell him to leave the White House?" @gtconway.bsky.social joins @jvl.bsky.social:
The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities
Why did no one else stay with her? Why is the gop doing this? Stop this madness!
I just love this
This is insane. One question tho- where are the rest of her dem colleagues? This is so childish of the gop to say nothing about the awfulness too
Texas in 2025.
I got mine before trip to Europe in May even though had been about 8 months since one before. I worry there will be no updated one released soon. Is that accurate?
Plus- have they looked at one of the most conservative public universities- Texas A&M where they ONLY have male cheerleaders but under a different name .
Trump to Zelenskyy: "During the war you can't have elections? So let me just see -- three and a half years from me, if we happen to be in a way with somebody, no more elections. That's good."
Trumpās adoration is reserved for dictators, not defenders of freedom.
Were any reporters at Andrews when Zelensky's plane arrived? Did he get the red carpet honors this time?
I thought he was for sure going for more. IMO this isnāt enough.
15 mins is a really long time to wash one single wound. How realistic is that?
Russian forces mocked Trumpās surrender to Putin by attaching American flags to their vehicles while riding into battle in Ukraine.
Unfortunately I think it's the endgame. The nuances are slight, but clear.
-Polls show House flipping. -Trump orderes Abbott to redraw TX so GOP keeps the House and the Epstein files stay hidden. -Newsom ruins the plan by redrawing CA. -Trump declares an "Emergency" and occupies DC to prepare a military coup for when he loses the House and Dems regain subpoena power.
President Zelensky is not flying to Trump alone ā his plane stopped in Brussels. Europe is coming with him. ć ¤ Alongside him: Ursula von der Leyen NATO Sec Gen Mark Rutte Emmanuel Macron Keir Starmer Friedrich Merz Giorgia Meloni Alexander Stubb ć ¤ A united front is on the way to Washington šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗš¦
Trump reportedly to back ceding of Ukrainian territory to Russia as part of peace deal, per the Guardian
Iām old enough to remember when the FBI & DHS kept a list of Americans who were abusive to animalsā¦that would have ended any responders career for doing that during an arrest. Stephen Miller & his ICE agents must be stopped! Itās upsetting enough their treatment towards peopleā¦the abuse to petsš¤¬
They didn't just arrest a teenager they tortured him by endangering his dog, then laughed about their bounty while a child watched his pet run terrified into traffic. When agents joke about $2,500 while breaking a boy's heart, we've stopped being a nation and become a collection agency with badges
ALERT: For the first time in the history of the survey, the Office of Personnel Management is CANCELLING the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). They donāt want you to know how theyāre treating federal workers. I really want to create a shadow FEVSā¦
Across the country, electricity prices have jumped more than twice as fast as the overall cost of living in the last year. That's especially painful during the dog days of summer, when air conditioners are working overtime. www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."
Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood. He's turning the homes into a compound. That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe. I donāt want to hear that billionaires canāt afford a wealth tax.
Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left
Trump is such a such a useful idiot for the oligarchs that the NYT had bombshell reporting today that Space X has never paid federal income tax and it barely registered with American public.
I keep having this unsettling thought that what Trump is really wanting to meet with Putin about is to get his advice and Russia's support in suppressing dissent and dismantling our democratic institutions.
Hey MAGA! Why is this bitch clapping like a trained seal?

BREAKING: Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump: "Weāre supposed to elect the best of us, not the worst of us. Heās everything thatās wrong with not just America but being a human being.ā ā¤ļø if you support Daniels
Vladeck: Thereās one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldnāt drink alcohol on his porchāD.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers arenāt even trained in the laws theyāre purportedly enforcing.
@aoc.bsky.social would it be possible for you to initiate a big dance off protest against the troops there now? You or direct someone who could? Fun music color- fascism hates that.
Dmv folks- would it be possible for someone there with a big influence and footprint to coordinate a ādance with protestā against the troops there tomorrow or soon??So instead of a regular protest- itās festive, colorful, dancing, music & fun. All things fascism hates. The optics would be great.
Hasan Minaj and Beto OāRourke discuss Zohran Mamdani as the candidate for Governor of New York. You can feel the excitement of Beto through this video. Beto is obviously a fan. š As are New Yorkers.
The moment he named his platform āTruth Socialā we were headed this way.
NEW: A comprehensive CNN review of Trumpās ties to Jeffrey Epsteinābacked by records, photos, videos, interviews & messagesāshows a long, close relationship until at least the mid-2000s. Several associates called them best friends. Our report from last night: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR2H...
New in PN: The slide toward "competitive authoritarianism" "OrbĆ”n subverted Hungaryās democracy with gerrymandering and by creating a nationwide right-wing media network. He put loyalists in the public prosecutorās office, ensuring the judicial system would go after his enemies. Sound familiar?"
With the reinterpretation of protective custody, police power became independent of judicial controls. Protective custody meant the arrest-without judicial review-of opponents of the regime. Prisoners werenāt confined within the prison system but in concentration camps under the authority of the SS.
Beginning in 1933 the Nazis took control of & transformed the police forces into instruments of state repression &, eventually of genocide. They did so by Nazifying policing. The government removed anti-Nazi police leaders, reorganized police forces, and reoriented police culture towards Nazism.
Trump compensating for his micro-penis.
Also, that creepy āagentā kept saying Donald Trump this Donald Trump that - Donald Trump does not actually get to make these decisions. He is not a king. But that weird creep is his goon.

In agency after agency, the U.S. government is losing its capacity to measure how American society is functioning, making it much harder to gauge the nature and scale of the problems we are facing and the effectiveness of policies. (Published April)
Well apparently the executive in the WH makes laws now- not Congress .
šØ Trumpās pushing to steal not just 5 but 8 seats in Texas. The threats from Greg Abbott and Republicans in power are getting old. If they zip-tie and march Democrats into the State House, it will ignite a nationwide rallying cry. FBI agents are stationed outside lawmakersā homes.
Cain: It flies in the face of reality when I look at the state of Massachusetts where Donald Trump gets 35% of the votes and zero Republican representatives from the state. Talerico: Who signed that map? It was a Republican governor.
Talerico: If Republican policies are popular, why do they need to redraw these maps? Why can't they run on their policies? Cain: I'm getting wrapped on time. I'm enjoying this conversation. I apologize. Such as the nature of cable television.
"The documents, marked predecisional, are comprehensive and contain extensive discussion about the potential societal implications of establishing such a program. They were compiled by National Guard officials and bear time stamps as recent as late July and early August."

I didnāt even know this happened until I saw this post just now. I feel sick. Iām so sorry. My heart truly goes out to all of you. I canāt stand where we all are.
Or let's say President Ocasio-Cortez has the feds quietly scoop Trump up and hand him off to the Hague, where he will be held pending a full prosecution. Judge Rao says no judge can tell her to ask for him back either.
