Like a fire in the sky tonight.

Absolutely.

Perhaps we should invoke the Insurrection Act against HIM.

I hear Mike Johnson himself is in the Epstein files.

To borrow your pal’s phrase, Mike: Prove Me Wrong.

Yeah, go ahead and try that, you "Pro-Fa" activists -- and watch how fast Oregon, Washington and California become part of Canada.

The most important time to protest is anytime these fascists say "No Protest."

I see the Pro-Fascist administration had an Anti-Fascist roundtable today. How'd that go?

Just recall the memorable song, and primary obstacle to the protagonists, in The Sound Of Music: "Do-re-me-FASCISTS-so-la-ti-do!"

Peter Blackstock @peterblackstocksd.bsky.social · 1d

Here's an angle for ALL journalists: Never write the fake-word "antifa" again. Every reference to it in a legit news story should spell the phrase out fully: "anti-fascist." I'm pretty sure Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" would've advised the same. And it's a LOT clearer to your readers.

EVERY single REI store should unionize immediately. Then let's see them try that.

To everyone I know who works at a media outlet covering national news:

The primary headline on your website today, or in-print tomorrow, really ought to be:

Trump: 'We took the freedom of speech away'

If it's not, I'd like an explanation why not.

Agreed. Any outlet that framed its coverage of Bondi’s hearing with a headline like that needs a new editor-in-chief. I spent much of my life writing headlines for newspapers and magazines, and it’s quite obvious the hed should be something like “Bondi evades questions, insults Senators”

Karly Kingsley @karlykingsley.bsky.social · 2d

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

Miller is lying in order to get you (and “low-info voters”) to give up. Without surrender, Miller and the rest of the regime got nothing. They believe you will believe their lies and conquer yourself. But they can’t conquer you if you don’t believe them.

Stephen Miller will conquer you if you believe his lies

The lies start with the ones he tells himself, about himself.

DJT’s administration is as bad as ISIS. And I can also say that with a completely straight face.

Peter Blackstock @peterblackstocksd.bsky.social · 2d

Sure:

Peter Blackstock @peterblackstocksd.bsky.social · 2d

Don't.

My suggestion would be to make something else besides eggplant 😜

Peter Blackstock @peterblackstocksd.bsky.social · 2d

He’s not confused AT ALL. He and DJT do not even ACKNOWLEDGE the law, much less follow it.

If it doesn’t have chocolate in it, it’s not really Nestle.
