Remember when the Biden administration was saying Russia was about to invade Ukraine, and the Russians were like "That's not true!"
NARRATOR: The president does not, in fact, have any "right" to deploy armed forces on the streets of American cities in times of peace
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
âFormer Gov. Andrew Cuomoâs successful quest to shut down the Indian Point nuclear plant spiked electricity costs and dirtied the energy grid of the city heâs now running to leadâŚwhen Indian Point went offline, gas power filled the gap â pushing emissions up 22 percent between 2019 and 2022âŚâ
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
Give the kid cancer while you're at it! That's another great life lesson.
Aren't they tired of having this same conversation over and over and over again? If Bluesky is so irrelevant and such a dying failure, why do they dedicate so much time to thinking and talking about it?
They will try to make this a modern "Birth of a Nation."
A gay sexually transmitted disease...
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. đ
This is an essential read. Trump is deporting dozens of Russian asylum seekers back to Russia, where they can expect prison and torture... and being sent to the front in Ukraine to die.
Albany controls NYC subways. Albany doesn't give a shit about NYC. Subway fares go up, service never improves. Every governor - both parties - has kneecapped NYC public transportation for decades.
Are firefighter unions trying to do anything or are they just sitting by?
I remember making a comment a while ago that Keir Starmer sounds like Nigel Farrage, and Starmer has stans here on Bluesky who will come after you for that sort of thing!

The politics of Vance and Musk are impossible to figure out.
Ignoring that I think Jeffries is a weakling, what does a post like this do? (And Jeffries's posts are all like this.) Yes, we know all this and we deserve better, but tell us what you are doing or planning to do to deliver something better. This post is a waste of a message.
This is a distraction from him being actually dead and them using a decomposing clone.
Does David Shor have a history of winning elections for Dems? These people seriously believe Dem campaigns are too woke. Their description of Bluesky is simply false, never mind their continued affection for a Nazi bar.
Judge Charles Breyer rules that the Trump administration brazenly violated the Posse Comitatus Act when it deployed soldiers to enforce domestic laws in LA. Breyer says Trump may not create "a national police force with the president as its chief." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
âI keep seeing these memes where Indians are bragging about taking our tech jobs,â said Ely, 36. âSo I said, âOh yeah? Well Iâm going to work with these guys that are going to arrest you, slam your face on the pavement and send you home.ââ wapo.st/3VrzEJg
the DOJ atty (& 2x Harvard grad) who suggested Harvard showed "wanton indifference to antisemitism" once wrote a paper from the perspective of Hitler & expressed admiration for Mein Kampf stunning reporting from @hilaryburns.bsky.social @talkopan.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...
theyâre all this guy
The indictment was handed down 2 days after career prosecutor Richard Barker, the acting US atty for eastern Washington state, resigned. In a social post, Barker wrote âI am grateful that I never had to sign an indictment or file a brief that I didnât believe in.â www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
My most unpopular opinions are that George W. Bush was president in 2008 and Donald J. Trump was president in 2020.
it wasnt covid restrictions that turned people crazy, it was a group of immoral cynical right wing media grifters who took advantage of their scared followers to get clicks and subscribers and make money
Nadler âsaid that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza âwithout question.ââ
Ben Smith's response is gibberish. He's like a dollar store Thomas Chatterton Williams. That he is not capable of answering the question frankly is damning.
BREAKING: Looks like Rudy Giuliani was NOT helping a DV victim at the time of the accident. Article states troopers & firefighters, already on the scene for a separate domestic violence incident across the interstate, witnessed the crash and rendered aid. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
NYT "think" piece presents Channing Tatum praising Barbara Kopple's Harlan County USA as evidence of a new disengaged, "politically ambiguous" "Himbo," which is perhaps evidence the writer didn't bother to watch Harlan County, USA, one of the great radical documentaries of all time.
A. Biden wasnât âunwell,â he was just old. B. Putin, first Comey letter, second Comey letter; take away any one of them & Trump doesnât win in 2016. Trump doesnât win in 2016, Biden never becomes President.
Somehow our diseased information environment has produced the net outcome that *the pandemic is considered a political problem for Dems*, not the party that lied about it & got people killed at every juncture. The party that tried, but not perfectly, to save lives, is being forced to apologize.
And in the House, a number of Dems were told by Pelosi they were there to do their jobs, not to keep their jobs, and they voted for the ACA knowing they'd lose their next elections - which they did.
I didn't know bars were "liberal-coded institutions."
Covid closings made them into Nazis, but Trump sending the troops into American cities is just another day that ends in Y? Sure, Jan! (In NYC bars were closed too, btw). Also since leaving Twitter I've lost track of people like Brian Schatz and yikes, their brains are rotting. What a disgrace.
This âblue states closed schools too longâ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but itâs arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.
8 cops making over $100k each to arrest one man. But your food, water & air are killing you. Your daughter is carrying her rapistâs baby to term & will probably die when it becomes complicated & your veteran son in jail for being unhoused. But at least that Brown guy sitting on a bench is gone.đ
This is, I swear to Christ, the lead story at the Atlantic Monthly right now
The same people bashing Bluesky as an echo chamber have never said shit about Truth Social.
This was a story point in Netflix's wonderful (and obviously cancelled) "The Residence."
Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House wtaf
It was one of the biggest political scandals of the 1990s. The people responsible for turning that into a scandal are still around and don't have any concerns about Trump's billions-of-dollars crypto fraud.

Gibberish. This is total gibberish.
Just think of the nightmare they are putting these children through. Depraved beyond our worst nightmares.
At the very least I would have assumed Yarvin has seen "John Wick."
Trump may be able to complete 14 words.
Over the years, performing for various despots for huge sums of money has been very lucrative for many people. All Paris Hilton had to do was make an appearance at a birthday party for the daughter of a Russian oligarch. abcnews.go.com/Blotter/cele...
Putin literally trying to assassinate the leader of the European Union.
Liberals: âWe could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; âthoughts and prayersâ isnât enough.â Republicans: âOutrage! Disgrace! Theyâre attacking prayer.â Thereâs no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.
Won't someone please think of the Nazis!
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.

Ladies and gentlemen, the leading public intellectual of the âDark Enlightenmentâ
I don't like Mulaney, but this was a very good monologue.

Just an astonishing, powerful op-ed that drives home what we are losing and what's already been lost. We are so incredibly fortunate to live with the advances modern medicine and health science. Destroying and stymieing it is just unforgivable. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Donald Trump is the executive producer of every news show in America

Sorry, but wtaf? This does absolutely nothing but ensure that even more people, including children, have to use irregular crossings, and blocks people who even this government have recognised are refugees from being with their families. This is utterly sickening from Labour. 1/
Lotte Lenya owns that movie!! And a young Robert Shaw is hot.
THUNDERBALL!!!!
100% And CrossFit changed a lot of men's attitudes about women with muscles as well.
I swear on the complete works of Jane Austen that I cancelled my Entertainment Weekly subscription because I despised Owen Gleiberman and his reviews.
CrossFit gets a lot of hate and mocking, but it's probably what "normalized" Olympic weightlifting for women today because in CF women aren't afraid of "bulking."
This should be a bigger story. A government official had the YouTube channel of a private citizen shut down bc he didnât like what that citizen was saying. This administrationâs version of free speech is a joke.
I wouldn't put "cop" 4 times on a NYC resume. Also, stock room? Compute programmer?
Everything about Pierce Brosnan's Bond is ridiculous, including the movies, which are the worst in the franchise.
This is stupid.
There is a story to be written about Nancy Mace losing her mind, and I don't mean that as a joke. She has lost her mind.
The press doing more to expose Bill Clinton (not president since 2000) than Donald Trump (president now.)
Federal agents in DC have been starting dangerous car cases for small stuff like tinted windows. The chases violate DC police policy. Out of 10 cases, six ended in a crash. One car had a minor in back. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Jake Tapper could not be reached for comment.
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
All hail King Steve!
The problem is, USA and UK previously assured Ukraine that their borders would be protected, and Russia promised they would not violate Ukrainian borders, and then they all lied.
Wait... you can do that??
He's released now. Good. But these countless "temporary" detentions aren't a glitch, they're a key fascism of feature, every one meant as an advertisement that this could happen to anyone, that detention & release shall occur without explanation.
Ok but howâs the car
He says he's a devout Catholic.
The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).
Republicans kidnap and traffic children.
Tarkovsky's "Solaris" - once you get past the first 20 or so minutes - is a scary thriller/horror movie in space. Soderbergh's is not.
Republicans accused the Clintons of murdering many people, but JD Vance's body count is coming along nicely.
And I wouldnât be surprised if the woman in distress who flagged him down was in fact a hooker who was in the car with him when he crashed.
Must be Grudenâs favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trumpâs club in Virginia.
At Union Station, veterans play a speech from General Mark Milley warning soldiers of the threat that President Trump poses.
This plot line is unnecessarily complicated. Side characters don't need a backstory.
I keep trying to find some Breyers chocolate ice cream and it's a freaking delicacy in midtown Manhattan. There are 3 types of vanilla Breyers and a fat-free chocolate, but not the regular Breyers chocolate and I don't understand this shortage. #TrumpTakeBreyers
Ok, AI is good actually!
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me â such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
The plan is completely illegal; itâs openly in violation of black letter law. Nevertheless, the Trump admin is trying to claim that the budget bill effectively amended the law; even though it was a budget bill, and cannot by definition amend the law.

I also don't know what the numbers were. Did they plummet from 3 to 2?
NY Times doing what SCOTUS does. They argue that if it's not in the Constitution, then it's allowed - but only if you're a Republican.
