A boat that size doesn't look big enough to hold 11 people AND smuggle contraband.
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
Trump wants us to believe an open speedboat was trafficking drugs from Venezuela all the way to America. My guess is he spent the weekend watching old "Miami Vice" episodes. bsky.app/profile/adam...
And since they never boarded the vessel to verify there were drugs on board, we have only the word of an administration full of compulsive liars to go on. www.reuters.com/world/americ...
Following illegal orders is a crime and we will bring these mofos to justice.
Confederate Cracker Nazis posting a vid of a war crime like they don't think we won't hunt their asses down like Simon Wiesenthal did back in the day.
Officers who shatter car windows aren’t being disciplined — they’re being promoted. One officer who smashed a window in front of a local TV reporter now has a senior ICE position overseeing operations on the East Coast.
Lol motherfucker just said he was pulling space force from Colorado to extort them to change their election laws.
This is the most important news of the day. Sending Texas guardsmen to Illinois is an intentional, unprecedented provocation. It should be immediately challenged in court. Follow @democracydocket.com for breaking news and updates on this developing story. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Nongovernmental groups like the League of Women Voters are now barred from registering new voters at naturalization ceremonies, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced. n.pr/4g7YKqg
Also here’s me doing some words, if you enjoy putting words in your knowledge holes
Trump’s decision to move Space Command out of Colorado is a waste of taxpayer dollars & weakens America’s national security. Full statement:

Trump to Grant Epstein, Maxwell Military Honors
In Texas, you MUST display the Ten Commandments, or else. You don't have to follow the Commandments. The people forcing the Ten Commandment displays on everybody, never do.
I just received notice there’s going to be a military flyover of DC tomorrow at 11am, just in time to distract from the 10:30 press announcement about the Epstein victims. Surely the timing is coincidental.

It's about time the US military recognize they are following illegal orders to take over America. In fact, a US judge just said so.
Elon Musk is a Nazi sympathizer with a breeding cult and it says a lot that the mainstream media works so hard to cover this up
Shameful. This man served his sentence and was working toward a graduate degree in divinity, but was deported to a country in Africa, even though he is a Jamaican citizen.

This is insanely ahistorical. The Department of Defense was an all new creation in 1947, specially to bring together the disparate armed services. The “Department of War” was really just the army. I hate how stupid Trump’s most performative actions are.

Every few years someone becomes the latest first person ever to discover the Galveston Movement and writes about it with fresh astonishment. The Galveston Mvt was NOT about finding a Jewish Promised Land in Texas. The opposite — it was about preventing one anywhere. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/b...
A lot of old photos of Trump circulating to claim he's golfing when clearly he is not.
What's with the communist China looking hat?
The guy who argued Trump could drone strike Biden is arguing exactly this bipolar swill. They’re arguing the petty ante, barely existent, deals Trump has made have “saved” America and applying the law on tariffs will destroy us.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I defy you to tell me this isn't an outright manifestly racist administration.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
Head's up @dopper0189.bsky.social

Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
I think any mention of "crime" helps Trump, as it's a dog whistle as old as Nixon '68. And I definitely don't think we should compare the crime rate of DC to that of other cities. Compare it to the crime rate of the Jan 6 terrorists Trump pardoned.

Our first underground paper in jr hi back in 1968 was printed on the local Lutheran church mimeograph, one of our friend's mom was the church secretary, he purloined the keys for Thurs nights so we could do our work under cover of darkness and have the issue ready for Fri AM classes. Never caught.
When we eat the rich, make sure you leach them with some damp cornmeal and a little thyme for about fourteen days like escargot. It takes a little planning and work, but the results are delicious.
Call me old fashioned, but if a country declares war on me and then carries out attacks, I might make sure the fuckers get a direct hit where it hurts.

“The mural was a collective act of artistic creation, undertaken w/serious intent by students, emerging from a course taught by a tenured fac member _Covering the mural,making it inaccessible to members of the university community, is a violation of academic freedom akin to shutting down a lecture”
Whenever they say don't trust the experts, I think of how many times Trump claims he's an expert about building and real estate.
Trump had to look at a wind turbine while playing golf and now he is destroying the entire industry here.
“Fire RFK Jr. now.” After a month of shocking removals, resignations, and a shooting at the CDC, Democrats are demanding that the secretary go. Meanwhile, the White House is defending Kennedy as its "crown jewel" admin leader.
It's useful to think of Trump's political style as a form of "fan service," which is distinct from the "constituent service" we used to associate with the role of elected officials. I took this picture in March of *2022* at a Republican event in Salem, Oregon. That flag seemed bonkers at the time.
