Cold-blooded extrajudicial murder. Deranged and utterly lawless. Who will stand up to this? We are so far gone.
Ummmmm........ I'm guessing that means there was no legal authority for the strike.
I’m old enough to remember when we had 47,000 congressional hearings over Hunter Biden allegedly making money off his father’s name. Meanwhile, Trump’s corruption, in the billions, gets openly celebrated.
WOW. This is one of the original Alien Enemies Act cases going back to March. The conservative 5th Circuit has ruled Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to disappear people to El Salvador was UNLAWFUL.
I've been trying to determine how to thread out the absurdity of Trump's announcement about moving Space Command from CO to AL. @charlotteclymer.bsky.social to the rescue. We are more vulnerable, less ready, & at the continued mercy of a drifting partisan who will always put himself before you.

Back in 2020, YouTube suspended OAN's channel, demonetized it, and noted it was not an "authoritative" source. Now, five years later, the Google-owned platform has inked a deal to put the MAGA propaganda network in millions of living rooms. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/youtube-oa...

but… “The American Legion passed a resolution about flag retirement ceremonies in 1937, and they've been an important ritual ever since. According to the resolution, "The approved method of disposing of unserviceable flags has long been that they be destroyed by burning."
I want to be very clear here. This is historically a form of protected free speech, which has historically been upheld by SCOTUS. So either he thinks he can single-handedly overturn a SCOTUS ruling or he has already been told they will overturn it if it gets to them. In either case this is all bad.

Oh, cool, so FBI agents will now be getting about the same amount of training as cops. All that's needed is a high school diploma to qualify. What could possibly go wrong?
The risk of Trump’s attacks on mail-in ballots is less that he will succeed in muzzling the franchise and more that the president will—as he did in 2020—kick up enough doubt that many Americans no longer trust election results, @qjurecic.bsky.social writes:
Canadian residents made just 1.7 million return trips by motor vehicle back into their country from the U.S. in July, a nearly 37% decline over the same month in 2024, according to Statistics Canada.

No book, song, or museum collection can adequately portray how bad slavery was. But brave works can open a light on our past that is hard to put out. If you are angry about the Smithsonian whitewash, we recommend watching (or reading!) The Underground Railroad. #theycanteraseitall

This is theft. Full stop. Stealing library books is an act of censorship that encourages and normalizes criminal activity targeting public property. By removing books to silence voices and viewpoints, these individuals seek to indoctrinate and harm young readers. https://bit.ly/3HHERcK

There is NO benefit from Privatizing Social Security. Adding on profits/fees only adds costs. Introducing risks, to have higher yields, is not the intent. As an investment, it *resembles* a Govt-run, low-yield, ultra-safe, guaranteed bond fund, not an individual, growth-oriented fund. #Econsky
Yes, truly incredible.
New federal guidance controlling $5 billion in funding for electric vehicle fast chargers in the US could direct more money towards gas station and truck stop operators. The result? The future of “topping up” your car might look a lot like the present.

Trump retreats to his golf clubs (safe places) on weekends where members tell him he has good ideas and he is going a good job
Trump has made no comment. The White House has found the time to post a video of the arrest of that guy who threw a sandwich at a cop, but nothing about a cop killed defending the government's own employees. Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose district includes parts of Atlanta, has also said nothing.
But a white guy with a COVID conspiracy manifesto isn’t news at this point. After all, that’s who runs the government now! The CDC is a part of Health & Human Services, headed by RFK Jr., whose conspiracy-addled ideology is indistinguishable from the motivations of this terrorist.
A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.
