A Blue dot in a sea of hate and confusion. There’s a huge difference between peaceful and harmless. No crypto/lonely hearts/porn/selling/ or magats. I’ll report and block. Go back to X with that shit. NO DMs. That gets an automatic block

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

‘For now, as options for how to save the whales continue to be discussed, there's widespread confidence that Marineland's talk of euthanasia is just talk.’

Here’s hoping 🤞🏻

Thirty belugas in Canada face being euthanised. Can they be saved?

After years of controversy and financial struggles, Marineland says it may have to euthanise 30 whales if it cannot find them another home.

This is exactly why I think they need to separate bills and make them public BEFORE taking votes behind closed doors. I’m so sick of them pulling tricks like this. 🤦🏻‍♀️

That's right. Buried in the middle of this shiny...sugar-coated legislative monster is a clause that says:
If a judge issues a restraining order or an injunction...and no security bond was posted...that court can't enforce contempt penalties.
Translation?
If a government official defies a lawful court order...the judge's hands could be tied.
No contempt charge. No enforcement. No teeth.
Let that sink in.

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 1d

New, from me:
Trump's 3 step plan to create a military omniforce
1. Purge - those deemed disloyal
2. Merge - different parts of law enforcement/military
3. Surge - impose the omniforce on Dem cities; instigate unrest; assert dominance; silence dissent

Purge, Merge, and Surge

Trump is creating a omniforce of armed loyalists to establish his police state

It’s been implemented and is ongoing. Our courts and congress are all that’s left to stop it legally and they’re in his pocket.
Loyal to The Constitution military leaders can stop it. So can the owners of the 490M guns in America. Wait until the right finds out they lose their guns under fascism

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Just a deep, heartfelt thank you to the people of Washington Hospital Center and the national rehab hospital. Been a tough month for my family and the care has been great.

I just got out of Englewood Hospital for an extended visit with a heart attack. Very old facility but with great care. Man, the hospitals we could build with part of our military budget
