I will not call posts here 'skeets.' Never mind that where I come from, that word would typically refer to a blood-sucking, disease-carrying flying insect, there is a simply better portmanteau to be used.
Bleet, a homonym for the sounds sheep and goats make, is perfect for posting to social media.

"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Today, Luke Farrell (@lukef.bsky.social) explains how complex eligibility requirements have turned America’s safety net into a lucrative revenue stream for monopolistic private contractors.
The Means-Testing Industrial Complex
As Republicans tightened work requirements and eligibility rules for Medicaid and SNAP last year, Equifax’s CEO openly celebrated the profits to be made from administering this deprivation.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

I paid $12.72 for 20 ounce bags of Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips at Walmart this afternoon thanks to Trump’s tariffs. Since I have a home bakery I buy a number of bags at a time. I paid $9.96 at the end of November and $7.97 in December of 2024. That’s a 60% increase in 13 months. FDT

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Is Greenland (or really Denmark) attacking the United States? Do Greenland and Denmark pose an imminent threat to the United States? No?
Then the President needs to go Congress first.
This is stupid. The answer, if this happens, isn’t the WPR. It’s impeachment and immediate removal from office.

Mike Johnson: "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do"
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

Wild that the "losingest team in college football history" is now on the doorstep of winning a national championship. Wilder still to realize that they are also on the doorstep to possibly finish as the *best and most accomplished national champion ever* (per FEI ratings since 2007, that is).

This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"
