Almost worst, we tried to pretend what she said didn’t matter and got right down to business with Putin

Nicolas Tenzer @nicolastenzer.bsky.social · 5d

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen.
She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented.
Almost no one listened to her.

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

Vance: I’m sure that in the course of his life he has been paid more than $50,000 for services. The question is did he do something illegal.

Stephanopoulos: I’m asking if Homan accepted the $50,000

Vance: Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? Low income women can’t get food

Joe Biden didn't become president until January 20, while Donald Trump has been a demented turd walrus since birth.

I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.

Back in the 90s when neo-nazi skinheads were everywhere, people wore colored laces in their Doc Martens to signify which side they were on. Red meant nazi, one black one white meant anti-racist, blue meant neutral, and green meant you like frogs and were anti-fascist. Been thinking about that a lot.

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

JD Vance indicates to NBC that Trump isn't opposed to invoking the Insurrection Act.

A key line from Vance: "The problem here is not the Insurrection Act or whether we actually invoke it or not."

I seem to remember the fact that Clinton the first POTUS since FDR with no military service (however tangential) was somehow a Big Problem for a lot of the generation who fought in Vietnam.

First Wordle Problems @fwordleproblems.bsky.social · 2h

And yes! It really was a huge deal. I talk about this a lot. The rise of Clinton (of the CLINTONS) was a generational trauma for the right. For the older folks it represented the triumph of "1960s counterculture" with all the Blackness and weed and sex stuff that represented.
