House sparrows go completely silent and disappear from my yard whenever a hawk flies over. They don’t help the hawk.

I wish US voters were as smart as birds.

The right for anyone to exist is so far outside the realm of possible things another human being can determine.

Right now, Newsom, Pritzker, etc., aren’t fighting to be anything but a candidate you can vote for or against in a future election.

Right now, it’s about getting to future elections.

There are some folks like Pritzker and Newsom standing up for democracy and the chance to debate ideas and principles in the future. They are taking a lot of heat for it and that shit is stressful. Fighters like that won’t be criticized by me if they don’t do everything right.

More subtle than launching a trebuchet of disease-laden items, but the same outcome.

Killing us "softly" with their words.

Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social · 15h

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

Clarification from the MAGA klan requested:

Was Obama controlling Trump during Don’s 1st term, or is it now believed to be Biden, pre-presidency? Are we back to the Clinton Crime Family demanding Trump do as Hillary says? And why did whoever it was stop controlling him? Or did they? I need answers!

MSM when it comes to Trump:

I had wondered how long it would be before America entered the hiding immigrants and their children in our homes phase.

We're here.

A man in Illinois, through tears and fear for the lives of his immigrant neighbor and her 7yr old daughter hid them from the American Nazis.

Definitely not ok to have a raving lunatic with no apparent connections to truth be the President of the United States. Unless you need a wild frontman while working to fuck shit up behind the scenes.

If you had to find a silver lining to ICE randomly kidnapping and disappearing Americans, it would be the likely end to cultural abuse & appropriation for Halloween costumes.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.
