Posting photos of my Twitter page in hopes that any friends from the last 12 years who migrate to Bluesky will find me. I posted 1 million tweets. Is that a lot? 😂💙

One more example of why it pays to elect Democrats.

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

This administration definitely would jail the people hiding the little girl in the attic

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.
On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

They literally sprayed teargas in the vent of his costume. Sadistic torture for being mocking the fuhrur and his storm troopers; only that.

And you know that happened? The frogs multiplied.

That's in Future Rick Perlstein's book.

We shall overcome.

But I thought Trump was going to pay down the debt when he unilaterally levied huge taxes on us?

Q: Rescission are something Dems have said is a reason for a lack of trust. What rescissions are you discussing?

JOHNSON: We have more than $37t in debt. We're doing everything we can to get us back to sound fiscal responsibility. What does that include? A rescission package is part of our process

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

I’m no expert and please correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t saying the result of a test is “exceptional” mean it’s unusual, not super terrific great?

One of Trump’s most avid supporters and donors from Oregon is a militant anti-vaxxer. His wife (a doctor) refused to get the vaccine and then died of Covid. Instead of changing his mind about the vaccine, he instead blames the Chinese Communist Party for murdering his wife with Covid.

Douthat is laundering hard core white Christian supremacy into the mainstream, with the NYT's blessing.
maxkennerly.bsky.social
Ross Douthat treats this guy like they're having some deep conversation about the relationship of Christianity and the government, but the dude is a garden-variety dull, shallow, hateful, worthless bigot with nothing interesting to say, just endless riffs on "God hates everything/everyone I do."
Douthat: So that’s the first purpose of your political project, for America to stop making God angry.

Wilson: Yes. And most people think that when they are confronted with that project, they think that we want to get our tentacles into everything and start controlling everything. I actually think we need limited government. The government should be significantly smaller than it is, and we need to curtail a lot of the busybodyness that we have. That’s why I would call myself a theocratic libertarian. There is a true libertarian element in this, and yet, the transcendent grounding for what we’re talking about means that we acknowledge the authority of God.

We have racked up quite a body count of awful crimes, and I believe the only way out is for us to repent and turn to Christ. This would be things like no more Pride parades, no more drag queen story hours, no more abortion on demand, no more legalized same-sex unions — all of that, done. That’s the repentance part.

The people who voted for Trump didn’t think they were driving a truck over a street full of people, but in effect they were. Many, many Americans will die because of the Trump regime’s destruction of our public health system.

“While the president’s authority to grant clemency for federal crimes is virtually unfettered, the power to impose vengeance via prison assignments isn’t clear.”

Actually, the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. It’s in the Bill of Rights. It’s pretty clear.

“I’ve got no problem with gruel.” Under orders from Trump, officials seek to make the life sentences of 37 convicted killers more like a living hell. The men were spared the death penalty by Biden.
Biden Spared 37 Killers From Execution. Trump Ordered Up a Lifetime of Torment.
Even America’s harshest federal prison, where inmates spend 23 hours a day in solitary confinement, was too good, one official said. “I’ve got no problem with gruel.”

It's a two-fer, you get your antisemitic conspiracy theory AND the insistence that there is no such thing as sincere progressive opinion, it couldn't possibly be that people are genuinely pissed off so they must have been paid to protest.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

This was today, and these guys knew they were going to fire their own employees because, says Trump, they are "Democrat oriented." bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.
