A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
This. They must go. Removing them must become a top Congressional priority or the deaths they cause will be on the hands of every member of Congress...and lest they think there be no consequences, those deaths will be mounting up by the time of next year's election.
What a gang of mindless amateurs in Washington accomplished in Beijing:
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
Life is short and the hour of our death is a mystery, so no, I will not rate my transaction
Id heard that Cantor Fitzgerald, the Wall Street firm formerly run by Commerce Secy Lutnick and now run by his sons is one of the big buyers of these refund rights. Turns out it’s already public back in July when they were buying them at 20 to 30 cents on the dollar. www.wired.com/story/cantor...
To be fair, Supreme Court gets much of the credit for taking us here by ruling in Trump v USA against the USA — and the collaborationist Congress has never missed an opportunity to grease the wheels.
someone should ask Eric Adams at the mayoral debate how he would determine if a given element exists in a sorted array of integers
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."
Is this non-linear narrative like Tarantino does?
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I’ve heard wall streeters are buying up the tariff refund rights from importers as speculative investments.
Politics today is less driven by ideological conviction and more by parties chasing votes based on a distorted picture of public opinion, one filtered through algorithms that amplify emotionally engaging content. This incentivises performance over substance and erodes democratic deliberation.
Ouch…
The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).

Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

ALL HAIL OUR GLORIOUS SAVIOR MISTER TRUMP
I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
It's a crime, but Tulsi doesn't care. united24media.com/latest-news/...
when he does finally go i will demand not just the death certificate but the long form death certificate

It's not surprising that Tulsi Gabbard is theologically confused. After all she belongs to a whacko cult that believe among other things in consuming the fingernail clippings of the cult leader in smoothies.

People’s homes are being stormed by far-right groups. The govt. Is saying nothing about how violence like this will not be tolerated. Where is Starmer’s “law and order” now? They’ve no control and we are moments away from someone being killed. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Economists are agreed: Trump is pushing America off an economic cliff. It will take the country generations to recover. www.ft.com/content/7c1b...
Wild that a museum would install a new Emmett Till exhibit called, “yeah, we’re covering up this murder too.”

Yeah, man, totalitarianism is when people listen to experts. Good talk, always a pleasure to hear from you.
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
We're trying to bully Japan into taking our LNG, but ... "Fossil fuels generated a record low share of Japan's utility-scale electricity supplies over the first half of 2025, marking an important milestone in the energy transition momentum of one of the world's largest fossil fuel consumers."

All the things Republicans fear-mongered about during the Obama era--from Jade Helm to death panels--are now being implemented under Trump.

If this oleaginous haircut thinks local crime rates merit a federal military intervention, then he should be leading the armored column down to his home state of Louisiana, which is one of the worst in the nation.

There’s a reason Dr. King's historic 1963 rally was called “The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.” As he warned the nation, "We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor." Real freedom requires economic freedom for all.
At least we’re making everything dependent on the murder-suicide computer.
I’m gonna lose it if one more person suggests that Lisa Cook admitted to mortgage fraud or that she tried to explain it away as a “clerical error.” Neither of those things happened!
Journalists, and the public, really need to learn the difference between an asylum seeker and refugee, and stop using the terms interchangeably.

She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
three guesses which party this guy is in
the irony is the people of new york city did not even recognize him they just know an asshole when they see one
We’ll wait…🤔
1. Charter supports Republicans 2. Republicans destroy a popular FCC program that gave poor people $30 off their broadband bill, driving people off the internet entirely 3. Investors sue Charter executives for misrepresenting the financial impact of a problem they helped cause

basic human rights are not something u put up to debate like some influencer game show shit
Wasn't it @gtconway.bsky.social who pointed out that placing DC law enforcement under federal control--now equivalent to personal control by Trump--means no one can make the dictator leave? Control of transportation routes in & out of DC advances the same goal.
They don't feel shame, but they care deeply about status. Wanting to be liked--or at least envied--is their Achilles heel. We can use that against them:it's cheap, non-violent & effective. Social shunning of elites supporting Pinochet helped bring down the Chilean dictator: it can work here too.
Single Taylor Swift was a huge problem for RWers, whose bedrock ideology is male ownership and exploitation of women, because she destigmatized being a "childless cat lady"--showed that it was fun and cool, not a punishment.
Who?
i am sure most of u have seen those clips of the creepily sycophantic cabinet taking turns praising president trump one after another but did u know that meeting lasted three hours and fifteen minutes lol
This, plus similar efforts in Brazil, and the overt campaign against Venezuela.
I genuinely think part of the current political dynamic is that a lot of Dems -- especially your typical educated, affluent city-dwellers -- simply can't believe what's going on. Even though it's right there on the TV, right there in the streets, it's hard to shake the feeling of unreality.
