Our current political turmoil flies in the face of what our Founding Fathers sought to embody in early documents: Unity
United we can vanquish the baser impulses of those who seek only our exploitation & oppression.
Democracy thrives on “participation, not compulsion” (borrowing from C.J. Cherryh)

It's more like "flaw and disorder".
It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

If we subtract Stephen Goebbels from the regime subset, we still have an overabundance of Nazis running the country.

A great starter pack for real-life climate scientists, who all generously give their time and expertise to serve the public good.

Starter Packs are one of my favourite features of @bsky.app. I’ve curated 20+ climate-themed packs on everything from health to comedy (all linked on my profile). But this one is special: my very first pack, the colleagues I personally turn to for insight + perspective, most of whom I know IRL.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.
Good.
Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.
She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.
It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

Letting AI decide whether or not you can get the treatment your real-life doctor thinks you need? Nobody is asking for this. It's an irresponsible dangerous gamble by the Trump Administration.

ICE is out of control. They're operating with impunity. They're doing things and getting away with stuff that regular cops, even your typical federal agents, can't do.
And we're just sitting back and taking it all in why?

Maybe Trump sees the writing on the wall and is just trying to absolve himself of any guilt before this goes any further. Or maybe he really is tired of Hegseth and his strike first, think later decision-making style. Either way, this saga seems far from over.

Thank you ACLU. Someone has to stop this murder/execution of potentially innocent people. Due process. Fair trials. We are better than this even if Trump and Hegseth aren’t. The actors from this administration should be prosecuted.
