In the aftermath of Emmett Till's lynching, white supremacists called for federal troops to invade and occupy Chicago. "If the federal government intervenes in the interests of law enforcement anywhere, it should start in Chicago, crime capital extraordinary." h/t @larryglickman.bsky.social
Equally true in the US.
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...
That's what should happen to parties and lawyers who actively misrepresent facts, dissemble and otherwise engage with the Courts in bad faith.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
Pretty sure you don't have to endure that any more.

These cowardly mofos. They KNEW they shouldn't confirm this parade of morons, grifters and psychos but they didn't have the balls to do what was right.
I fell on the Elon grenade for y'all
Thanks! Not so much a request for bluesky per se just trying to avoid going back to twitter. Congrats on the Blueprint job.
"Every working and retired American should be entitled to health care" is a bridge too far for Republicans. www.reddit.com/r/WatchPeopl...
Letting Sandro go really hurt... just like Poeltl.
FUCK YEAH SCIENCE arstechnica.com/science/2025...
Umm, no duh, lol. Why would anyone with the smallest ounce of intellectual curiosity, much less scientists, go to Elon's hellhole.
Sounds from the Governor's post on twitter that it's specifically a school.
Spotted on my last trip to Venice: a model of a tank designed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1487. This fighting vehicle was designed to be driven straight onto a battlefield and to decimate the enemy with its 360-degree cannons. It was powered by two large cranks operated internally by four men.

With the help of NASA, ESA and CSA's James Webb Space Telescope, researchers led by Cardiff University say they have made a big leap forward in our understanding of how the raw material of rocky planets comes together by observing the Butterfly Nebula. Read more at: ras.ac.uk/news-and-pre...
“Trump’s pretense to ownership of public goods and public spaces isn’t some quirk to be ignored or waited out — “there goes our Donald!” — but a direct expression of his autocratic ambitions and despotic cast of mind.”

Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.” The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.
They would not have been in those Finals at all but for The Foul.

"He doesn't mean it," chorused 10 million centrists immediately...
*why not
Why simply say "Trump Issues Unconstitutional EO Banning Flag Burning"? There is no "difference of opinion" here or "both sides" of the issue. Texas v. Johnson (1989) is crystal clear.
I kinda sniffed at the headline—suicidal teen commits suicide is tragic but not necessarily the machine’s fault— and then the article and especially the logs are so so much worse than I thought they would be.
His goal would consume 35 Gigawatts-ish, comparable to the output of 35 nuclear power plants, ~2% of the total world consumption of electricity just for himself. www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

NGC 7023 - The Iris Nebula The bright star at the center of this nebula illuminates the dark, shadowy dust surrounding it. This dust is difficult to photograph, and only becomes apparent in dark skies. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy
ICE thinks kidnapping is a joke. At 6:30am today, agents leaving Terminal Island cheerfully sang, “Good morning ladies, a-kidnapping we will go.” This is the mindset of America’s deportation machine: gleeful cruelty. They don’t see families, veterans, or workers. They see prey. MFers.

It's about stationing military forces in major cities in advance of the 2026 elections that he can call upon to supress and intimidate voters, if not outright close voting polls in precincts he knows he will lose.
The most corrupt politician in America has thoughts on corrupt politicians.
Hey, @statsowar.bsky.social where do we follow you this year for game previews? All your socials seem a little.... disused.
Gov. Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about Trump searching for any justification to deploy the military in a blue city to try and intimidate his political rivals. This is about Trump searching for ways to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Those people would give up anything including their lives and freedom to feel like they are on the "winning side" so there may never be any reason to go after them.
But the comment does help confirm that to the extent there is a problem here, it doesn't lie in the material itself.

What a clown. An ignorant, classless, dangerous, infantile clown.
One of life's many can/should dilemmas.
I hope that anyone that, like me, was that age at that time feels the same.

Phew, the sex trafficker and perjurer exonerated the one man who can free her. I am totally persuaded.
BREAKING: Pete Hegseth fires the general whose agency's initial intel assessment of damage to Iran nuclear sites angered President Trump, AP sources say.
Their only move is killing their messengers be they weather satellites or generals.
I know there's a lot of controversy about the Cracker Barrel logo, so I worked up a new option that should be good with everyone... The barrel is back, but it's now guarded by Scubble, The Cracker Goblin. I also worked up a new slogan for the company!
True to Tuckers form it was neither of those things.
This has nothing to do with efficiency or saving money It's doing stupid things for the sake of doing stupid things. "I don't understand what I'm doing but it makes the right people angry."
Wouldn't be able to read the Constitution even if it was fed to him on a Fox News chryon.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration says grants for Hispanic-serving colleges are unconstitutional and it won't defend them in court.
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
Make an example of this dumbass.
Living on a blue island in geographic (but not population) red sea do not write us off. You help us fight where we are or you fight at home alone.
Seems like a script could auto copy paste from an intrepid 3rd party's threads account to here?
Worth mentioning she was rewarded for saying these things.
Yeah let's use stronger words. Do say "Abolish ICE" Do say "Stop Republican Panty-Sniffers from Inspecting Kids' Genitals" Do say "No Weapons for Genocide" Do say "Big Bullshit Bill" Do say "Fuck A.i." Do say "Protect Trans Kids" Do say "Hands off our Immigrant Neighbors You Fascist Assholes"
