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
Can Vance kill Trump with the same black magic he used on Pope Francis? We asked three MAHA moms at a Bob Evans in the north Cincinnati suburbs.
Brilliant
This morning (9/1) at 8 AM feds pulled over a couple at 18th & Park NW. They smashed the window, dragged the husband out & arrested him. When a community member stopped to record they were grabbed & threatened w/ pepper spray by this piece of shit. @mayorbowser.bsky.social do you welcome this too?
It needs more misused quotation marks.
Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
A plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the EU's executive arm, suffered from jamming of GPS navigation while flying over Bulgaria. The authorities believe that Russia was behind the operation, European officials said on Monday.
I wrote this article about Jeff Epstein potentially having been running a blackmail network for an intelligence service ten years ago, in 2015. My boss hit the roof because he didn't want to offend billionaires, and readers in general said I was fucking insane to say such a thing.
Bad AI.
Vaccine sceptic RFK Jr has called for the retraction of a Danish study that found no link between aluminium in vaccines and chronic diseases in children — a rare move... “Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will”, says Oransky. Scientific American
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
A stuffed potato sack wearing a MAGA hat would do.

Only because it’s a signal of tribal identification. Tofu tastes like whatever you want it to taste like. People who “hate” it hate “elites.”
I hope you are doing everything in your power to build voter engagement ahead of the midterms. We also need every dem representative to be on alert for efforts to interfere with the vote counting.
A judge dismissed the case, finding no probable cause after Florida police arrested a man as part of Ron DeSantis’ crackdown over rainbow chalk ark memorializing the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...
🚨Priest uses his body to attempt to stop ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois outside of a detention facility that has refused entry to members of Congress.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Here's @kaysemelone.bsky.social with another great video youtu.be/j_3rIThAAv8?...
Cosmos? So lovely! 💛🐝
They’re circulating old video from June to prove Trump is golfing today.
🚨This OK lawmaker was found guilty of running a vehicle with his daughter and an adult relative off of the road and INTO a ditch, causing injuries — and he is STILL in office?!? Of course, he has a history of both domestic violence and law enforcement.
What are your best Canadian memes? Let’s see ‘em 🇨🇦
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files
The night has come, and with it russia launches another drone attack. Every single day.
russia has kіIIed so many of our incredible people who could have chаnged the world for the better…
People who might be comfortable with their neighbors quietly disappearing aren't always comfortable when the grotesque human rights abuses involved are made public. They don't like to imagine themselves as the bad people you make them seem like when you point out what's happening. So keep doing it.
MAGA: "Go woke, go br—oh, never mind. . ."
This is an accurate statement except for the part about a movie.
Stephen Miller looks like the villain in a movie about tax audits.
However, I’m fairly sure that the recent EO was just meant to gin up flag burning content for Fox News.
@barbmcquade.bsky.social @jillwine-banks.bsky.social @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social I distinctly remember my social studies teacher in 1989 having us discuss the Texas v Johnson case with this Doonesbury strip as the jumping-off point. I bet you remember this one too. #sistersinlaw
He and Stephen Miller make JD Vance seem like… Nope. I can’t. They’re all so fucking creepy.
If Mike Johnson doesn't set off every bell in your creep alarm, you need a major reset – cuz it's fuckin' broken.
It all only makes sense if they *want* us to suffer and die. I used to believe Putin gave the orders. Now I think he just-er-lucked into a kindred spirit in Trump.
Fuck Putin. Fuck Trump. We should be doing everything in our power to defend you against this evil. My heart is with Ukraine. 🇺🇦🌻
Evening in Kyiv. I went out and bought some chocolate. I’m not really into chocolate, but I today I needed to sweeten either my body or my life. The death toll in Kyiv has risen to 19. People may still be trapped under the rubble.
We are being “governed” by the most cartoonishly narcissistic collection of dipshits and rage-monkeys.
whenever absolutely anything bad happens they’re like “told you it’s the fucking immigrants” it’s literally never immigrants. like a council flat set on fire bc of some white british group of meth makers and they refused to believe it wasn’t the immigrants even after the investigation was released
Hmm…I may need to update my talking points on benevolent vs malevolent uses of AI in my statistics course.
😭

Thank you!
AP live feed of the CDC walkout in Atlanta. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ7Q...
RKF Jr. is a dangerous man who is determined to abuse his authority to act on truly terrifying conspiracy theories and disinformation—leaving us unprepared for the next deadly pandemic and snuffing out potential cures while he’s at it. My full statement.
Tell me you have no business being a diplomat without telling me you have no business being a diplomat.
There is a massive walk out at the CDC by staff unfolding right now. It is NECESSARY. I stand in solidarity with my CDC colleagues. standing up for science and public health. It is a moral imperative.
I want to see the scanner big enough to fit an elephant inside.
"If you are experiencing technical difficulties, press 1." (Presses 1) "If your difficulty is with altitude, press 1. If it is with air pressure, press 2. If it is... "
A reminder. The Democrats have been bashed to shit on here for confirming nominees, and here is a Republican Senator saying that Schumer and Democrats are blocking them or slowing the process as down as much as possible.
Agreed. Here is one area of my life where I do not feel guilty. I have a wildflower garden and a clover lawn. It's bee heaven.
Good BlueSky Morning youtu.be/VOBZ_dkGpJ4?...
Oh, she definitely will.
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
THIS MAN IS EVERY ONE OF US
🚨50 shades of fucked up. No fear but much loathing these “people” in 2025.
And? How was it?
But what they actually do is obliterate honey bee colonies…
Susan Monarez, the CDC director, was fired just shy of a month into her role. At least four other top CDC officials have also submitted their resignations, with one of them writing, “I am not able to serve in this role any longer because of the ongoing weaponizing of public health.”
'Cowardice of a leader': CDC official hits Trump and RFK with blistering rebuke on way out
“I could indict a ham sandwich” DC: “No you can’t”
GOD LOVE THE SANDWICH MAN!
I insist on believing it was a resistance gay in the makeup room doing GOD'S WORK.
This is a very good articulation of Trump's governing philosophy. He believes it because of who he is, but also because the conservative legal world, including the Federalist Society and Supreme Court, has provided a legal framework in which Trump can place this philosophy.
When the Democrat in charge does that, they should also send free voter ID.
Julia Roberts tried to warn us.
🔥
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
O O O o o o o 。 。 . . . . bsky.app/profile/theg...
Gov. Pritzker dropped straight facts. 🔥 We have another Democratic governor who’s a fighter. Keep it coming!
Capitalism is faith-based and lazy.

Divide by each country’s total population for apples-to-apples. I am sure the US is still #1.

We all know that when Trump sends in “police” they are most definitely not there to protect anyone; especially not Black people. I imagine even Joe and Mika recall that Trump wanted police to shoot George Floyd protesters.
like my wife, would say more police doesn’t always mean safer. It can mean more harassment, more brutality, more fear. Militarizing cities only makes that fear worse.
While y'all are arguing about what Gavin Newsom is going to do 3 years from now, they are sending federal troops into the capital, then cities they don't like. Stop arguing over the definition of fascism: just look outside. People taken to camps & federal troops on the march IS IT. Act accordingly.
Happy cows
Great use of law enforcement.
Whose money did Trump give to Maryland? And was it even Trump who did it?
That crew looks super efficient.
They gaslit you all throughout the election.
Did they still eat the fish?
Because *we're* the language police. 🙄
I don’t hear “Democrats” using these terms. Pelosi? Jeffries? Clyburn? Schiff? Swallwell? Waters? If you mean liberals then provide the alternative word that would be clearer. Or is it that you don’t think the concepts are real? Patriarchy is a thing. If there’s a better word, let’s hear it.
Apologies to the Australian Simon Rosenberg for the mistag.
