"A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down. If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it is a bad book nothing can help him."

Stephen Miller is a domestic enemy of the US, the constitution, democracy, and everything America has stood for these past 250 years. US service members - please let that sink in as you recall, and are guided by your oath.

The Trump Doctrine:

The US military blows up boats in the Caribbean to try and kill everyone on board claiming they are narco terrorists as the justification to dispense with interdiction and trial, but if the targets survive we let them go and fly them home.

Makes sense.

Other than the spelling errors that doesn’t sound like him at all. It sounds too calm to be President Stephen…

NEW: I heard from a number of federal employees, largely furloughed right now, who attended No Kings protests.

"I can't just sit back and watch things fall apart."

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 19h

This entire conversation is based on the lie that democrats shut down the government. Karl just goes along with that premise.

KARL: I mean, you could swear in Adelita Grijalva tomorrow, right?

MIKE JOHNSON: No, not tomorrow. We couldn't. We wouldn't.

A lady driving by yelled JESUS IS COMING YA'LL! at us

I shouted back TELL HIM TO HURRY UP

And the lovely hair done Fully made up southern lady in front of me yelled
HONEY, DON'T YOU DEPORT HIM!

It was beautiful.

Will the guy who imagines himself shitting on American civilians ever direct the military to start shooting them (again)? A total riddle.

So, umm, last night an actual human being pitched 6 scoreless innings and hit 3 home runs in a playoff game.
Your grandkids will be told about this.

In Alabama they arrested a lady in an inflatable penis costume🥹😆; that’s all I have seen

TheRoadie. @roadie63.bsky.social · 1d

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

SIMPLE FACT:

Your job’s to negotiate, not to cry like a damsel in distress every 5 minutes. This Johnson–Epstein shutdown mess is on you.

Renew the ACA so your own voters can keep their healthcare. You’ve worked 9 days since July, pulling $200K a year with gold-plated healthcare. Do your damn job

Hasan: Let me say to every Republican and conservative watching. Aren't you the ones that said no more big government? No tyranny in America? If you believe that, what are you doing defending masked federal agents in unmarked cars bundling people off the streets

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 1d

In a coordinated move, multiple federal agencies joined BlueSky yesterday and turned to trolling the opposition. Our Assessment on Democratic Decline warns of this autocratic practice: attacking the free press and narrowing the space in which factual reporting can safely operate without retaliation.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Hi. There is an influx of government sites and I’m gonna use what little clout I have

To say

Don’t bait them.

pay them DUST.

Commit to boosting coverage of what they do, centering the voices of who they target .

In fact start muting folks who over antagonize them
