I'm curious - What sort of experience did you expect that *would* justify putting up with their support for Nazis?
Do you think you're so brave just to go running to that which beckons to us all?

turns out firearm proliferation does not in fact protect against tyranny
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

This is Anhelina, two years old, celebrating her birthday. Anhelina and her mom, 24-year-old Nadiia, were killed by Russia in #Kyiv on August 28.
Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness. On a plane, I want a pilot. In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence. Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data. Ignore it and we all pay the price.

Rejected for “lacking legitimacy” especially on point. But how did Cassidy not see this coming?
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

You think we weren’t prepared for the last pandemic ….
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
Hard to overstate how ruinous conservatives have been to the overall state of our nation.
Holy fuck that’s the actual Image! In my lifetime we have gone from: “other stars probably have planets” to “We are directly imaging baby planets in young stellar systems.” We could do more of this instead of the fascism and genocide.
WTAF are these clowns doing?

Hey Bloomberg - the copyright strike you filed against @gamersnexus.bsky.social is bullshit. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Trying to silence fair use is contemptible. Just cancelled my Bloomberg subscription. youtu.be/tUnRWh4xOCY?...
Donald Trump may never win a Nobel Peace Prize, but there's a good chance the United States could win a Darwin Award for electing him.

For some reason I'm thinking of the two huge dudes who showed up to my local parish a couple years back. We'd just opened an overnight shelter there and there had been protests elsewhere, people standing outside yelling shit so migrants couldn't sleep, etc. So here come these giant guys.
The partisan targeting of officials by Trump officials is underlined by who they are not pursuing. For example, don’t hold your breath waiting for the Department of Justice to investigate Ken Paxton, who has claimed three homes as his primary residence even as he rents out two of them.
The game theory of Canada's relationship with Trump is extremely difficult and I do not think Carney's approach is obviously wrong.
I know this is very bad, but the schadenfreude of seeing this happen to John Bolton is 🤌
Sweet schadenfreude, but yeah this is also very bad.
Very sorry for your loss, Steve. RIP, Iggy.
They also likely have a military version of the SNC Dreamchaser, still in the black world. The parking lot at the Vandenberg OPF is quite full M-F...
these people are all fucking freaks it’s really not any deeper than that. if an acquaintance IRL started complaining about how the Cracker Barrel logo is a sign of the decay of modern society I would tell them to get psychiatric help
Orban’s Hungary is now officially the poorest nation in the EU. Under Viktor Orbán’s increasingly authoritarian and pro‑Russian Fidesz regime, Hungary has been systematically pillaged. EU funds have been commandeered by power networks close to the govt.
@fractaledmind.bsky.social I successfully added Litestream to my production sqlite environment today. Brilliant work - thank you!
The media lost its MIND when Obama tried to make some small changes to the press pool system. Now Trump is quite openly rendering it into a North Korea-esque state-media system and ... has a single journalist or outlet stood up to protest?
Has Spirit Airlines taken on the Hurricane Hunter mission?
"Apply now, it takes five minutes" is just ... 🤌

Ah, so it's a term specific to the environment between the employer and the union. Got it. Somehow I was reading it as a broader national condition, which was confusing. Thank you!
@angella.bsky.social What even is "industrial peace"? Was this an established term when section 107 was written, or was it deliberate obfuscation of the section's qualifying criteria?

The concierge service Trump is giving Big Tech after claiming to be their antagonist is hardly a surprise but seeing it all put together, as Public Citizen did in a great report, is something. 1 in 3 holdover cases against tech/crypto firms dropped in 7 months.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

So many hours. Mostly flying around Chicago. Directly lead to my joining the air force a few years later and becoming a pilot!

I was a c64 guy too. My first experience writing C code came via a C compiler on a ROM cartridge you plugged into the back of the c64. Also learned 6502 assembler on the same machine.
My first modem was a 300 baud "Might Mo" - no acoustic coupler - around 1980 or 81. I was constantly catching flak for tying up the household phone line :)

Turns out wine with strong hints of fascism and bullying aren't popular in other parts of the world. Monthly US wine exports plunge, down 96.8% to Canada YoY. China (-36%) and the UK (-6%) also down. Overall, US wine exports declined by $38.8 million (-37%) compared to June 2024. #EconSky #Wine
I feel this should be a bigger story, right?

🚨WHOA. According to @haleaziz.bsky.social, the Trump admin was actually going to implement the ICE "bounties" it has repeatedly said were false, offering $200 per arrest leading to a rapid deportation — and only walked the plan back after the New York Times got a copy of the memo.

Warren should have pointed out that her state, Massachusetts, raised taxes on millionaires not by 2% like Mamdani wants, but by 4%. The result? Massachusetts saw a 39% INCREASE in millionaires, a drop in poverty, & a growing economy. Stop trusting billionaires. Start taxing them outta existence.
it's so obvious at this point that the american right wing, despite all their posturing about how they're pro-business, has absolutely not a single clue how actually producing items - be it ag, manufactured goods, etc - at scale is accomplished

Ontarian here - help me understand why Houston is getting involved in this? What's in it for him/the province to be worth getting embroiled in overriding municipal authority? I know why Ford did it here - trying to win commuter votes - is that Houston's motivation here?
The idea that President can negotiate/dictate bilateral “deals” by using the full force of the federal government to punish and humiliate his perceived enemies goes against the whole idea of the rule of law. That should be the story, rather than normalizing this authoritarian behavior.
Even if that (very cynical) view of the government's priorities is correct, I don't think it's responsible to call for firing 50% of senior civil servants wholesale. That is exactly the kind of dumb cost-cutting DOGE has undertaken in the US. It's both destructive and ineffective.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?
Republican Mike Flood’s comments being drowned out by chants of “tax the rich” at his town hall
Why would we get DOGE (i.e. indiscriminate cuts without regard for or understanding of the functions being eliminated) "whether we like it or not"? That sounds very fatalistic. I'm all for improving the efficiency of government services, but that takes real analysis, and hard implementation work.
The most damning part: The car was programmed to send all the information to Tesla then delete the local copies. Which speaks to a clear conspiracy to hide the fact that "driver assistance" features contributed to an accident #teslatakedown electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...
Sounds like you are painting with a very broad brush. We don't need DOGE-adjacent solutions. Civil servants do important work. Including the senior ones.
Okay I'll bite: Why?
Valleys of green and the grey.
Do you remember the horrific abduction in Worcester, MA where protestors clashed with ICE as they ripped a woman away from her family? The horror continues. The woman’s 13 and 17 year old daughters were placed in foster care. They are now both missing. 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/31/m...
I'm generally not on the side of violence, but I also recognize that sometimes the way you learn not to run your mouth is when the kid you're talking about punches you in the mouth. I wonder if Stephen Miller was ever punched in the mouth.
I'd like to add "The Wager" and "Icebound" to this list. Both great. The latter is by @andreapitzer.bsky.social
Just purchased it. Thank you!
NEWS --> An internal Homeland Security memo suggests Trump's use of military for domestic enforcement is about to get worse. It details top-level talks between Defense Department and DHS on what this should look like. Experts say it's alarming. We obtained the memo: newrepublic.com/article/1987...

The Texas Observer has identified James “Jim” Joseph Rodden, assistant chief counsel for ICE as “GlomarResponder” who posts white supremacist and racist statements on X. Rodden represents the agency in immigration court hearings where judges decide whether an individual is removed from the country.

Nope. Permitting of public events falls squarely within the municipality's mandate per Quebec's Municipal Powers Act.

NEW: The IDF is shooting children at aid stations for target practice. Dr Nick Maynard says soldiers chose particular body parts to target on different days - one day head, then chest, abdomen & testicles. "I would never have believed this possible unless I'd witnessed this with my own eyes."
It's not at all alarmist to expect that the new network of detention centers will be used to confine unhoused people—and to extract free labor from them. Everything in this executive order points in that direction.
