Technically it says THE PRESIDENT makes an announcement Keep hope alive
Setting a good example.
Huh.
Wow, “blueskyism” sounds profitable!
Did he really oppose it, or did he just have an angle to jump into the mix and disrupt things and get to the middle of the heap?
Any of them playing Swan Lake?
Is the award for “rescuing a “domestic violence victim” before getting into a traffic accident this weekend?
This is for all the people who made fun of the new Kings protests and pretended not to understand what is going on.
If Congress isn’t in charge of the money, are they merely decorative?
Live your life in such a way that Judge Sooknanan does not need to come after you.
Come join us on El Camino Real today 11-1 to stand up for a government that works for American workers, not just oligarchs. We’d love to see you!
"If he falls down doing this shit it's our asses".
Make all the jokes you want, I feel like we need to leave him alone so RFK can complete his work
Barr blocked that with his declination decision. Garland could have tried, but Roberts would have yeeted an indictment into the sun because of what Barr did.
Washington's speculation about Trump's health is at a fever pitch. We've seen multiple reasons this summer to ask questions — and the media doesn't seem to care. What's really going on? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
I don’t know what you’re taking about, they’re busy playing Swan Lake

Shhhhh
Donald Trump can't win the 2026 midterms fair and square - so he's trying to cheat by calling up his cronies in red states and asking for seats. California: YOU have the power to stop him. Vote YES on Prop 50 to defend fair elections and STOP Trump's election rigging.

They should really get RFK in there and let him diagnose the mitochondria or whatever. And then do EXACTLY what he recommends.
SAD. Maybe he’s worrying about Congress demanding the Epstein files.
I’ll be out tomorrow between Showers and Rengstorff in Mountain View!
Thanks for engaging on BlueSky. I do think there’s a nuanced view here (see her thread) and there’s clearly a big communications problem. It’s good to push leadership to do more, but they are doing at least some things!

Walked through here on the way to the nats game yesterday. Normally this park would have people flying kites, playing frisbee, having a picnic. Now it's just sad and lonely, and mostly fascist.
Real governance should move to the states, which have not all gone insane. Dunno what to do about the whole taxation without representation thing. It’s a problem for sure.
Trying to distract everybody from the Epstein files.
Louder for the people in the back. (The whole point is that the RW propaganda machine is REALLY LOUD.)
…and he has zero authority to do this but you’re just not gonna mention that? Delete your account.
Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.
💯
So good.
I’m not saying there is a problem, what would I know, but if there is, can I suggest they get RFK into the room immediately and follow his instructions to the letter.
They’ll pry my sidewalk chalk from my cold dead feet
Explain to me like I’m 5 how this is not a clear violation of the First Amendment?
Correct! Now call for articles of impeachment from the House if he does not.
Gets worse and worse
I’m certainly not going to trust someone who tries to straw-man his way through life (while carrying a severed whale head). Sadly this man is destroying our public health infrastructure.
And yet the NYT ran with unfounded speculation a year ago that Biden had Parkinson’s, because he was talking with a Parkinson’s expert while working on a Parksinson’s bill. Meanwhile Trump has had no public appearances for days, had a huge bruise on his hand, and looks sick as hell. But 🦗🦗🦗from NYT

If you are TLDR on the TaylorLorenz/Wired piece debate, this nails the problem pretty concisely. Journalists have been reporting for MONTHS about the Dem influencer network being underfunded + then act like it's a nefarious thing when it gets funded by nonpublic Dem donors. 1/
It’s time for some hopscotch theory
It’s time folks for some #SidewalkChalk civil disobedience. Grab some chalk, go outside with your kids, and draw, write, sketch, vent, play hopscotch. This shit has gone too far. #ChalkCrime
“And again,” Rep. @robertgarcia.bsky.social added, “we ask the question: Where are the rest of the documents? What is Pam Bondi hiding? What is Donald Trump hiding? End the cover-up. Let’s get to the truth.” www.thedailybeast.com/lawmaker-rob...
May we all be brought together in blessed celebration this weekend.
If nothing else he’ll be upset and even small wins are wins

You cannot convince me that Atherton is a real place, I think Caltrain is just spoofing us

Would YOU tell Alina Habba what was really going on, Anna?
Dunno. But totally unrelated: I’m deep in the planning stages of the MSW Media “it” gala for our patrons. Open bar, food, music…
Yes, and, the first shadow press conference this week should have been the shadow secretary of HHS explaining how RFK’s decisions are going to kill people. Bring on experts who just quit the CDC to explain why. Give the country the truth, and force the press to cover it — if only as a novelty!
Maybe he should try fucking listening
He’s really saying the quiet part out loud now, isn’t he? This man will be responsible for more deaths than the rest of this admin put together before we’re out of this, if we avoid nuclear war.
It's time for ice cream!
Just signed up! mobilize.us/s/pK7Zoj Now I just need to pick a segment in Palo Alto/Mountain View! Suggestions? Gonna see who else is going.
“A Blackburn spokesperson said she is against the public’s use of computer-assisted facial recognition to identify ICE officials but supports police use of the technology.” Well that just says it all doesn’t it! “Secrecy for me but not for thee”
ICE’s unchecked power has turned into lawless overreach—abductions by masked agents, denial of due process, secret police tactics. Democratic leaders can stop this, but only if we demand it: bit.ly/45Umbi3
Lol
Ok, you too. I think we were talking about past each other.
If I misread what you said I apologize!
But then how is Lorentz not claiming that the “Chorus was a secret” that is, that the relationship between the funded content creators Chorus is not to be disclosed? Or is that not what you mean? bsky.app/profile/chan...
The X post claims more that an actual live contract (a signed agreement between two parties) exists for some of the creators and it has terms that say they have to keep it secret. Right? Not just that some people have been “asked” to sign it.
I can’t square what you said with what Lorentz posted on X, anyway. bsky.app/profile/chan...
I’m confused. Are you arguing that the article’s take away is or isn’t that “the influencers are not allowed to disclose their relationship with Chorus … or that they’re being paid at all?”
Ok. Note that I, also, read the article. I only said I wasn’t going to go read it a second time (right now, anyway).
Ok, fair enough. I was looking only at what Wired said in the screenshot.
1. Great heads up for everybody 2. This is some wild shit. And it’s all true.
I didn’t say it was a retraction. You said “Lorentz didn’t” state there was a hidden relationship with Chorus. It seems that something was stated on this topic because whatever was stated, now is being clarified.
Hmm
Then why did Wired have to publish a clarification about whether the Chorus relationship was a secret? I can’t be arsed to go re-read it but I was left with the impression that was one of the allegations, along with restrictions on what content they could put out. bsky.app/profile/humb...
So the human heart is better in every other developed country, then?
Loomer is praising an insurrectionist who got what she deserved and trying to start a race war… all to protect a guy who is hiding his involvement with Epstein. They’ll accept pedophilia and treason as long as they get to be openly racist.
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.

How many impeachment resolutions have been filed so far? 0? Really? Why?
CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.
So many more people will die from this.

Full-page ads in the Onion are something
Are you ready to protest on Monday?
I believe technically it’s legalese for “fuck you make me”
Arsonist declares he will continue
Henceforth @karlbode.com shall be known as "this random Karl" who was obviously and easily more right than @rokhanna.bsky.social
This regime is doing its best to create misery and death. I don’t care why. That’s the outcome. If you have kids, if you have parents, they are at risk and the regime is blocking your ability to keep them safer. Yell. Loudly.
I’m not reading all that and neither should you. Yes on 50. Protect our democracy.

Good. Make Trump write the letter officially firing her. If he can.
