Yah. With friends like Donald Trump, who needs enemies?

Not all heroes wear capes. This hero wore a polka dot dress and sensible shoes…

Still, she told ICE exactly what they needed to be told.

And NYC, keepin’ it tight. I am here for all of this.

'Polka-Dot Dress Lady' Emerges As NYC's Anti-ICE Folk Hero

“One woman in a polka-dot dress showing more courage than half of Congress ever will,” remarked someone on Bluesky.

It makes perfect sense. He is bleeding out the programs he does not want to have, causing them fail. Then he will shudder them because they did not work…almost like a self fulfilling prophecy.

Uhm…I will let you figure that one out.

No. I think people are actually that stupid.

Ingredient decks list ingredients in order of predominance, meaning that potato chips should be predominantly potatoes. Most people should be able to guess potatoes, oil, and salt, even if they don’t know the rest.

You don’t get to both sides this.

French people. Duh.

I am not a foreign policy expert, but maybe trade, tax, and tariffs policies should not be dictated by whether the President’s feelings get hurt.

And the fact that it is, is particularly rich coming from the ‘fuck your feelings’ crowd.

So, question: what is it like to live in a country where politicians are held accountable for their crimes?

I am asking for a friend…

I don’t accept it as inevitable either. But I think we are lying to ourselves if we say that this can be resolved by voting. So every time I hear people talking about democrats taking back the house, I just don’t see it.

I don’t believe that peaceful revolution is possible any more.

That’s neat. I wonder how this compares with fossil fuel companies plundering the earth for every last drop of petroleum to provide fuel for fascist settler entities to prosecute a genocide.

The “fuck your feelings” crowd supports a president who withdraws from trade negotiations with Canada over *checks notes* hurt feelings.

That, and the idea that if one just faiths a bit harder, he/she/they can be cured of depression.

As someone who often has to struggle to stay alive, I find this reasoning offensive…independently of my metaphysical views.

I think one of the things that non-evangelicals find most annoying about evangelicals is when they claim that other people can’t lead happy and fulfilling lives unless they believe in the same things that they do.

Same. Maybe he understands that he does not get to be a witness, as his party remains complicit in the fascist demolition of any remaining guardrails this democracy still may have.

I am delighted, but I remain skeptical.

Do we really think Democrats will take the House next year? I think they have the support, but I think a certain fascist dick and his enablers will declare a state of national emergency and use this as a pretext to suspend elections next year.

Unfortunately, this is the only future I can envision

Thank you, @markjacob.bsky.social, for the gift link.

As the original thread stated, this is the branches of law enforcement, why they exist, and what their uniforms are. This is so we can see who is terrorizing us at the moment.

This needs to be shared as broadly as possible.

Gift link. (I object to the New York Times calling this a "crime crackdown." The Trump regime is bringing violence to my city, Chicago, not fighting violence.)

As President Trump deploys ICE, Border Patrol, the National Guard and other forces to U.S. cities, here’s how to tell them apart — and what their powers are.

And soon the commodities of poverty will be paywalled and priced out of our reach…then we will have a new socioeconomic class of the super poor.

Yah. I think you missed the entire fucking point of this discussion.

The point here is that some US citizens don’t have the same rights as in other states. And moving is not feasible. The issue goes so much deeper than geography. That is the point being made here.
