Everyone here is either really pissed off or really terrified or both. I’m on team 3.

I hope so! Germany had to be divided before it could reunify. The difference there is the people had the same ethnicity and shared background. We don’t have that here. We have half our country in favor of inclusion and the other half in favor of exclusion. How do we fix that?

I know - the terror on her face is just heartbreaking 💔. I doubt MAGA ever sees these videos, but the worst part is that if they did, they would laugh.

Of all the news in this NYT survey of sitting federal judges - incl 47 of them think the SCt is mishandling its emergency docket - maybe the biggest is that 65 sitting fed judges (37D, 28R), folks circumspect for a living, responded to a NYT survey. Stunning. And a sign that something is very wrong.

We are witnessing the end of The United States as we have known it for 249 years. What comes next, I don't know. I know there will be the Confederate States again, Cascadia, the North East States, New Mexico and Colorado maybe, but that leaves my home state of Illinois swinging in the breeze.

I assume he meant, like German Shepherds - police dogs. Am I missing something?

Antonine @antonineaz.bsky.social · 1d

I believe you are right. I don’t think there is a way back from this.

Last time I checked, Lincoln Square wasn’t a hotbed of hardened criminals. Has that changed?

Holy cow, I had no idea! In your mind you picture something like toy bullets. This is awful!

“Rubber bullets“ from Trump’s 1st term. Rubber bullets are huge. They can cause horrible damage.

Now, watch the vulture capitalists swoop in and buy American farmland for pennies on the dollar.
Drumpf was never on your side, Farmers.

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina, a main US competitor in the soybean market.

This is a move that will only further screw over American soybean farmers, who're being priced out of their own market.
